So, into the midweek we arrive, and Andrew is showing plenty of good skills so far with his 3 90's, but can he top a century, as well as become a half-octochamp by the end of the day

Not if Apterite Barry Evans has something to do about it, for it is he who stands in Andrew's way, for what promises to be another cracker of a game today.

Join me for the Robinson Recap later.

So on Monday we had Drew and James Wilson then James Nguyen yesterday and now Barry Evans today. This must be a record for consecutive apterites?

Interestingly, when I was on my way to film my Countdown heats, I saw Shaun Williamson (who played Barry Evans in EastEnders) at Newport Pagnell services, buying a chocolate bar and a newspaper.

Which newspaper (and chocolate bar)?

I don't recall, I'm sorry. I would probably have included that detail in the anecdote first off if I had, to flesh it out a bit.

It's still a better anecdote than anything Michael Vaughn has said this week.

I don't think he's that boring. If Shobna Gulati didn't have tits then I'd say she was more boring. Why doesn't she just set up a twitter account to bore people with instead. Oh..

NEGATOR in the COGNATE round

Really good contest today - I feel bad for Barry as I used to play him a lot on apterous when I started and he helped me improve a lot. You were very unlucky to come up against a strong player today Barry but congratulations again to Drew, and on your first century

AIRDROMES as a beater in round 12.

I can't believe you wasted this gold. We could have done a Guess Who with it.

An apterite in all four games, well done Drew on what will be probably the hardest run ever.

Unlucky about Barry, I played him at CoLei (in a three-way with Alex Lacey) and he won something like 82-32 (70 for Alex), although I was pretty crap back then. I really hoped he would win, but well done to Drew for reasons aforementioned.

Yeah, that along with Liam v Graeme was definitely the best game of the series so far.

Very unlucky, Barry, but well done, Andrew.

SIPHONED in round 1, REPOSING in round 2, CURTSIES in round 4 and WAGONER in round 6.

That was 3rd.

Very unlucky Barry. But a great game.

I can't believe that you, a 3 large specialist, came up against another one. Same happened to me! And there really aren't many of us around!
