Random Stuff

Here you can just talk about Countdown stuff without having to open a new topic. Give it a try!

Please?

Okay, I'll try something random...

wouldn't be awesome if there was a Countdown game on the Nintendo DS? Then you could literally play all day long, wherever you are. The DS has just about everything else and I'm sure it'd sell loads.

Gee, that would be pretty immense, especially on Wi-Fi. Brilliant idea! It's on its way to Nintendo as we speak.

Happy birthday to Countdown - 26 years old today. Long may it shall live.

My dog is sick

Which is Countdown-related in the sense that I have been on Countdown, and I own the dog, and the dog is sick.

And it's an anagram of god, and we love those discussions.

Sorry but I find this really insensitive. We are talking Wilfred II to the vets at 4 o'clock GMT. I will let everyone know how he gets on.

Dog bless.

I would prefer it on the PSP

, although I do have a DS as well.

You know you get "vegetarians" that eat fish? Well I'm an atheist.

Cod bless.

Jon O'Neill · Post by **Jon O'Neill** » Sun Nov 02, 2008 4:25 pm

Have just taken Wilfred II to the vets. They're going to run some blood tests and take it from there. Apparently he wasn't very happy when she tried to touch his abdomen, and nor would I have been. It got a little ugly when she put a thermometre up his bum, but Rolf Harris assures me it's going to be fine.

Thye're phoning back with the blood test results in an hour.

I am an atheist too and there is no cod - or dog, for that matter.

Does an agnostic, insomniac, Countdowner lay in bed at night wondering if there's a dog?

Only if he's dyslexic

Err....dog is the correct spelling of the canine animal. Conor was spot on with what he said - the Countdowner bit covers the apparent dyslexia.

Is the poster on here who calls himself Kai Laddiman the person who was on Countdown with the same name?

And why has the real Kai been paired with a Priest on CofC? Isn't this just asking for trouble?

Kai, if you appear on another game show in the near future, here's hoping you're as lucky as this guy:

What a coincidence. My completely made up username as some relevance to the randomly picked picture. Wow.

I don't know why I bothered to watch this. But I would recommend people skip to 5 minutes 30 and watch the start of the showcase. It's *bizarre*.

See what I mean? Is this the language of an 11 year old?

Edit: No. I have just remembered that my son is in fact over 30

Totally. Especially now the electronic game is unavailable.

I used to work in WH Smith, and one electronic Countdown game was sitting on the clearance shelf for ages, and I kept toying with myself as to whether to buy it or not. On the day I eventually decided to get it and had got the money with me it had gone.

I bet people guessed the outcome to that story well before the end

They probably did you a favour, the electronic game was awful. The selections were almost always ridiculously nasty (Jono recalled on the podcast a round in which his opponent had M and he had a winner with HM), the solver takes ages to run and the numbers methods were really annoying to enter.

Ebay - that's where I got mine. I'd have to agree that it's a bit annoying, I used it for journeys and stuff but played mainly numbers.

Ah yes I suppose those little electronic games of quiz shows are notoriously bad.

Both my Deal or No Deal game and my Wheel of Fortune one are lying smashed in the middle of the M2 somewhere.

My Deal or No Deal DVD is also lying smashed in the middle of a motorway somewhere, but I bought it for that reason.

Ben, the only thing I know about Stars in Their Eyes is that Cat Deeley was a host on it.

She is now in the US, and she just might be the host of Who Wants To Be a Millionaire in daytime next year because the current host is too busy hosting The Today Show, which is an early-morning news show.

And Kai, that is not Bruce Forsyth in my clip. Remember this name. That is the absolutely futuristically venerable DREEEEEEEEEEEEW CAREEEEEEEEEEY! He was on the US version of Whose Line is it Anyway, which has since been canceled. However, you can still watch it in reruns on your days off from school on Channel 5 US at noon. You will be laughing your head off when you see Drew! He is a very funny man!
