Sorry for the delay in this. Been busy getting my new clothing range which I'll debut at Co:Lon at the end of the month.

So, into the new week we have arrived and we have our very own Nikki Roberts with 2 wins to her name. Steady so far, but will slow and steady get her a hat-trick today

Back in DC this week, and here for a full week this time, unlike last series, is the comedian/GP Dr. Phil Hammond.

Ryan will be around with the recap later.

I'm going to guess some stripes are involved! You do love a stripe, James!

Yeah, I do like a nice blue and white stripe particularly, but you're not wrong.
Although, you'll be disappointed by my clothing in Pointless on Friday.

1st Numbers: (100 + (4 x 10) - 1) x 6 = 834

And HEAVE in round 4.

What's that an "Alt." to? Nice feeling isn't it when you get it faster than RR.

Oooooooops, although I am happy to have got it before Rachel, although admittedly I got while Nikki was talking through her method.

NEUTRON in round 7 as an Alt.

LOUDEST and STRUDEL as Alt. 7's in round 8.

When Susie asked Jeff how to spell ANCILLARY, she pronounced it "ANCILLIARY". It's a bit like saying "How do you spell GRIEVIOUS?" and then telling them they're wrong for putting the second I in.

IMPETUS in round 11, although I thought STUMPIES was in. Stupid fool.

Roger Edwards got caught out by STUMPIES in his last show. It is a Scrabble word, so maybe it will make it in in ODE4?

I FINALLY beat Rachel on a numbers game: ((1+1)x100+10)x4-6=834

TAUNTER in round 7, LOUDEST in round 8. 2nd numbers alt: (100-1)x6-(10x2)=574

Not a great show today, some obvious words missed by both players.

Yep thought the selections were better today, with a couple of exceptions, and they didn't take advantage. Apparently I 12-maxed it according to the countdown wiki recap (btw how do you come about the maxes that DC don't pick up?) which is alright I suppose.

It's called the recap solver gadget thingy. (Yes, new name needed, and it does have a proper name, but don't know what it is.) It does have the same dictionary as Apterous, so won't be wrong..............ish.

The conundrum reminded me of my 3rd heat game when I somehow saw HEADLIGHT out of IATLGEIHD
