That I went to fill out a customer feedback form in a restaurant and it cost me £2 to buy! I then asked to have some of their cottage or shepherd's pie and they told me it was spinach pie. Since they had no chicken ready, I said i'll try the spinach despite hating the stuff.

...and how was it? or did you wake up in a sticky pool at this point?

I just dreamt about Countdown. We were in a classroom (we were only about 10) and it was 124-107 between me and this girl. She went 6 small and smiled at me but it was pretty straightforward and it went to 134-117. I was on for second highest score ever and the conundrum was revealed:

TNMLTEAIE

I couldn't get it, only seeing MELANITE for 8 in my dream. Time was up. Final score 134-117. The answer wasn't revealed. We then went to the playground and I tried to find a toilet.

I woke up, still remembering the letters as in my dream I was like "what's MELANITE + T?" I'm amazed I could do anagrams whilst asleep, but there we go. Anyway I've used a solver now and it turns out there is no 9 from it, so maybe I can't do anagrams asleep.

Oh my, the minute I had dreams like this is the minute I give up Countdown/Apterous for good. :?

This is the closest to Countdown slash fic I've ever read.

Consider this a request that Kirk's dreams get their own subforum.

I had an apto dream last night.

I attended a Goatdown/Skiing event in Germany run by Paul Howe. Junaid and Charlie were the main event playing their 5th match.
I was introduced to Charlie's (ex?) girlfriends parents who were hosting the whole thing. My own game ended in controversy when Callum Laddiman stopped me seeing the letters against Kai. There was no sign of DC.

Weird.

Ahaha. I think if anyone is going to run a Goatdown/skiing biathlon, it'll be Paul.

...that aliens had overrun Earth (I've been playing a lot of Halo), and they'd captured me and were going to kill me, but put it off as long as I kept solving Countdown numbers games.

...that I was in my parents' (former) bed with another six or so apterites. This worries me on many levels.

A couple of months ago I had a phenomenally surreal dream in which me & Bevins were renting an apartment in Leeds city centre, and our landlord was Sir Patrick Stewart. It ended with me drinking most of the jacuzzi (which for some reason was in the kitchen) and throwing it up out the window.

I have no idea. Last night was one of the few nights I didn't remember my dreams.
