No, it's not nonsense.

George, I wanted to let Lara know that I would be sending an e-mail to the Countdown crew this month and I will try until Des reads one of mine.

I just heard from Lara today. She returned a comment from me that stated that I thought she was very sweet.

That's great, Jason. Will you be writing another poem?

You know I was reading in the paper today that a collection of poems by the famous poet William McGonagall are being auctioned and are expected to raise from £4,500-£6,500! I think if Des doesn't read them out you should publish.

Whenever I want to write a poem I always think WWDCD?

That will take quite a bit of time, though!

Hey! Watched Countdown since I was an iddy biddy girl. Avid writer, so you'd think I'd be good with words, but I'm much better at the numbers. Meh - go figure. Recently had my love of all things Countdown revived, so I'm currently on a Countdown binge. Thus I find myself here in the small hours of Sunday morning.

Also love long walks in the rain and anything colourful. :D

Myspace doesn't really have much in the way of applications or fun things to do- certainly not on the level of the crap you find on facebook. Though a while back it was home to the 'official Conor Travers appreciation society'.

Yes, Myspace is a little...boring. Facebook certainly does sound much more interesting, so I really do keep trying to get to grips with it. I don't even have any friends there yet, no one I know uses Facebook. :cry: I'll get there, I really will.

The only good thing about Myspace was my rather snow-themed profile page.

Some people do tend to put 100's of photos on Facebook, but I am one of these people who doesn't like what they see when they get photographed, so there is only 15 pictures of me on Facebook :lol:, all of which are Countdown based :oops:.

Hello everyone!

I appeared on Countdown back in 2000. I had green hair and the dictionary corner celebrity (Don Black) didn't really like me.

Anyway, for those of you who are interested in Countdown memorabilia, i'm selling my winner's teapot on ebay. Sacrelige I know. it's in mint condition so check it out if you're interested:

Hi Corby,

I probably will contribute more to this site, although I'm not able to watch Countdown any more as I work til 6. I love the show though and would be well up for doing one of those Countdown events. I'm a decent player, but it has been a while (Series 42 was when I appeared).

Cheers

Hi,
I'm Jimmy Gough and will probably apply to go on the show now that i have finished my exams. I think this website is excellent and also the practice on countdown corral. I'm not a great player but will practice a lot and am fairly confident i could get on to the show (but probably not win). I would like to enter the online tournaments, perhaps it's too late....

Hi, Jimmy!

Welcome to the forum!

I'm from Seattle, Washington in the US. I became interested in Countdown at first by watching clips on Youtube, and now I am a member of a website called UK Nova. On this website, a member posts every week's worth of Countdown episodes in torrent form and I download them.

Where are you from, and what do you like to do?

I hope you enjoy your time here!

Hi All,

My name is Lee and no doubt some of you have seen my shows which have recently gone out. Unfortunately, after winning 3 shows I suffered the ignominy of being beaten by a footballer. Contrary to my performances on the show, the numbers game was and probably will always be my strong point, however for some reason I was not able to perform at my best when it counted. Can any other contestants relate to feeling more pressure on the numbers rounds as opposed to the letters rounds or is it just me?

My experience was slightly blighted by the fact that I was all set to record my fourth show the morning after my previous wins(I was actually sitting in the chair alongside my opponent), when Andy the floor manager informed us that CV had been ill that morning(this was Friday 13th!) and that the filming had to be cancelled. Perhaps I would have fared better had I faced my original opponent!

Anyway, overall I enjoyed my time at YTV and I will look forward to reading everyone's topics now that I have found this forum.

Best regards

Lee

Welcome Lee, and well done on your 3 victories. I'm sure plenty on here can empathise with the pressure felt on the numbers - I believe the topic was raised on the old forum with plenty of contributors agreeing. You certainly had some terrible letters rounds to contend with too.

Hope you enjoy the 'friendly banter' on here, and maybe you'll join some of the madness that is online MSN countdown sometime too.

Hi Lee and welcome!

Enjoyed watching you, and congratulations on your three victories. If you dig around a little bit elsewhere you'll probably find that I said I hoped old Neil "Slurms" MacKenzie would win, so sorry about that!

Utterly agree with what you said about the numbers though, I was on a couple of years ago, and while I wouldn't say that numbers were my strength, I would say that I was "good" at them. I never usually write anything down either, so the panic of trying to do mental arithmetic and get something legible written down in the 30 seconds I would say my performance level of "good" was slightly downgraded to "shithouse". I take my hat off to people who pick 6 small, and especially people like Matt Shore (IIRC) who picked a whole variety of different selections during his run.

Oh, and hi to John and Jimmy too :)

Hi. Just found this forum a day or two ago and I have plucked up the courage to join. I'm currently living in Co Donegal in Ireland (not that far from David O'Donnell.) I try to watch Countdown every day (one of the great benefits of Sky+ is that I can watch it any time I like and I can fast forward the ads and the "filling".)

A few times I've got as far as filling my name in on the application form but it's never found its way to a post box yet :cry:

Really enjoyed the last series, I really felt for David when it looked like he was just about to be beaten in the semi-final.

Hello all, I'm Jason and I was on series 42 back in February 2000, where I achieved the dubious distinction of chalking up the highest losing score of the series (62 in the days of the 30 minute game; any other day, etc etc), although I console myself with the fact that I got beaten by the number 1 seed... We tied on every round up to the conundrum, after which I had to endure months of smart-arse comments at work about allotments...
Now I watch whenever I can - I work shifts so if I'm not in work I generally plonk myself on the sofa for the Countdown/DOND double header. I always seem to miss the start, which is sort of why I'm here - I missed all of Neil Mackenzie's intros and was wondering which team he played for - one thing led to another and I decided to sign up here.

Thanks, but I had already found that out - I wasn't even sure of his name, so went to 'The Countdown Page', but that hasn't been updated for this series yet, however they had a link to the Countdown Corral, where I found his name out, Googled it and found a telegraph.co.uk and a BBC Sport feature. I vaguely recalled some mention of Scunthorpe on one of his programs, which is who he used to play for. That's the internet for you - if this had been 20 years ago not only would I have not been able to find out who he played for, I wouldn't have been able to bore everyone silly with how I found out... :)

Glad you have joined us Jason. I was Ballheimer's first victim, and I remember you from filming - although I don't think you arrived until after my initial victory and subsequent defeat had been completed? I'd left before your show was done, but can still remember watching it at home feeling frightfully sorry for you, and suspecting I'd have fallen short of 8 wins even if I hadn't cocked-up on show #2. Perhaps we'll have a chance to play one day after all! :)

Ballheimer's first victim.. makes him sound like a murderer (the octokiller?) :)
I remember in the dressing room he was worried about coming up against you, as you were younger he thought you were some sort of 'boy wonder'! I think your first game must have been the first of the day, which I didn't see - I saw him knock you out, then watched the next two with increasing dread as it became apparent I'd have to face him... When the series was shown I played along with the games after mine and worked out that if I'd beaten him I'd have probably got another 3 or 4, although that said it's a lot easier at home than in the studio!

Hi, Dan! There you are! Welcome, welcome! Sorry for the Bruce Forsyth reference there!

Are you the one who has been a contestant on the UK version of The Weakest Link, and Countdown when Des Lynam was the host?

If you're the person I think you are, you have also seen the US version of Wheel of Fortune. By the way, there is a huge change coming to that version this fall!

Case in point, your name sounds familiar. Please assure me!
