Spoilers For Wednesday November 2nd 2011

Post by James Robinson »

WAHEY! Today is Countdown's (and Channel 4's, for that matter) 29th BIRTHDAY!!! ;) :) :D ;) :) :D

And to celebrate, there's a game of Countdown to enjoy. 8-)

David Butcher now has 6 wins, which worryingly for us Apteforumites, demotes Matt Croy to the #8 spot now. Is that his time up and will David get closer to Nikki, and the 5 octcohamps with another win today :?:

Join me for the Robinson Recap later to find out. ;) :) :D

Can't believe I missed it! Even after re-reading the article about Hurst getting it just the other day.

Cheers, bit of a brain fart there! As a language graduate I probably overthink little nuances in the language like that.. :|

Yeah. I heard about the SHITFACE controversy long after it happened 'cause I wan't into countdown back then, but wished they'd just bleeped it instead of killing the round. Was it bleeped today?

The FACE bit wasn't, probably so you could know what they were saying.
