Spoilers For Thursday July 15th 2010

Post by James Robinson »

Thursday has reached us, and while the world's top golfers compete in the Open, the race for place in the finals at the end of the year is as open as ever. 8-)

Yesterday, Richard became only the 4th player in this series to be on more than 1 win. :shock: :o His performances have been pretty good though, especially in the numbers, but can he maintain his good form for a longer period of time :?:

The Robinson Recap will be around later. ;) :) :D

Heather sometimes asks me to maintain a good form for a longer period of time.

I can't believe they didn't bleep out CREAMPIES. That's without doubt the rudest-connoting word I've ever heard on Countdown.

Funniest round for ages. I wonder whether anyone in the studio knew the popular meaning?

Don't forget, Matt, the majority of the audience are sweet old dears who wouldn't know what a creampie was if it hit them in the face.

I think Jeff and Susie and the Andrew DC guy can maintain a believable innocence.
I'd be let down by Rachel if she didn't know.
And obviously Damian knows full well.

Half surprised Susie didn't explain the origins of 10cc and Pearl Jam.

1st Numbers Alts.: (9 + 5 - 3) x 4 x 6 = 264 & ((9 x 6) + 5 + 4 + 3) x 4 = 264

2nd Numbers Alt: ((25 + 7) x 2 x 10) - 7 - 4 = 629
