sounded like pathetic?
I've just re-watched it a couple of times and what he says sounds like a cross between PATHETIC and PROPHETIC, and I've flip-flopped on this but my current feeling is it sounds more like PROPHETIC (there does seem to be an r in what he says). I don't know what the rules are regarding someone who retracts their answer before giving the answer, then gives a slightly ambiguous answer!Gavin Chipper wrote: ↑Tue Apr 26, 2022 2:30 pmOK. I thought he said PROPHETIC, so I was a bit surprised by how things panned out.

It's pretty weird that she had the handlebars, frame and brakes though. Not to mention the quickshift gears.Callum Todd wrote: ↑Wed Apr 27, 2022 12:07 pm"If my grandmother had wheels she would be a bike." - ConfuciusGavin Chipper wrote: ↑Wed Apr 27, 2022 11:32 am If playdate had been in and geezer hadn't missed the relatively straightforward numbers afterwards, there would have been 1 point in it at the end.

Interesting. That was worth waiting a month for. I hope Sue Gray delivers equally decisive news.
Yeah, that's because I'm a month behind. Have often wondered about putting the posts out of order by commenting late but can't see anything to say it's not allowed. Don't worry I shan't do it again.John Garcia wrote: ↑Tue May 24, 2022 6:50 pmInteresting. That was worth waiting a month for. I hope Sue Gray delivers equally decisive news.

Don't worry it was genuinely interesting that the subtitler thought it was "Prophetic" too. Wonder what the rules are on this (someone retracting a correct answer). I don't see a problem with commenting on older threads. I just commented on a post from 2019!Philip Wilson wrote: ↑Tue May 24, 2022 11:30 pm Yeah, that's because I'm a month behind.

Actually the subtitler thought it was ProThetic, which is a cross between Pathetic and Prophetic, which you wrote at the time, so you were right then!John Garcia wrote: ↑Wed May 25, 2022 11:05 amDon't worry it was genuinely interesting that the subtitler thought it was "Prophetic" too.
