DC: CRUMPETS (8)
OT: CREPITUS (8) SPECTRUM (8) STUMPIER (8)
Score: 88–52 (max 120)
A good 8 from Logan with Pictures.............one place I like to see the odd Harrison Ford flick..........now what Tracey Mills recap wouldn't be complete without her favourite actor ?
And here is Harrison Ford all in his glory and his character Han Solo and his furry companion Chewbacca in the successful flick A New Hope that grossed $775.4 million at the box office. Before Harrison Ford was cast as the wisecracking smuggler Han Solo he eventually won over the producers and the director George Lucas over. Several high profile actors tried for the role of Han Solo they include James Caan, Chevy Chase, Robert De Niro, Richard Dreyfuss, Steve Martin, Bill Murray, Jack Nicholson, Nick Nolte, Burt Reynolds, Kurt Russell, Robert Englund, Sylvester Stallone, John Travolta, Christopher Walken, Gynn Turman, and Perry King who later played Solo in the radio series, Al Pacino turned down the part because he didn't understand the script. In the end Harrison Ford accepted the role and rest is history making him very rich in the process.
Over in DC they are enjoying a nice bit of scran with their 8 Crumpets........a breakfast staple that is always nice with a cup of tea
Round 13: E A O A E K R N V
Logan: ANORAK (6)
Steve: REVOKE (6)
DC: RAVEN (5)
OT: KAVEERA (7)
Score: 95–58 (max 127)
Sixes all round from Logan and Steve...........there was a rather interesting 7 missed by all with Kaveera
Round 14: 25, 3, 8, 1, 6, 4. Target: 763.
C1: 763. (25 × 8 − 6 − 3) × 4 − 1 (10)
C2: -
Score: 104–58 (max 137)
Nice and straightforward from our champion Logan and 10 points.........win No 2 is his
Round 15: P U R A T A P A S
C1 buzzes on 2 seconds to say APPARATUS which is correct.
Final Score: 114–58 (max 147)
Another speedy solve from our champion Logan who is going really well at moment.............but take nothing away from Steve he gave as good as he got.............you can join me again to find out of Logan get his second win.............in the meantime it is so long and farewell !
