Two impressive wins for Zarte Siempre so far, can he end the week on a third?

THERE'S the Zarte we know in round 10. Never been happier.

Joking aside, I may have risked ISOGRAMS for 8 in that round. Real word or did I just pull that out of thin air?

Right, just getting this in quickly. I've not seen this yet, but apparently I looked really annoyed when I didn't get the conundrum.

They've actually cut an exchange from the end of that episode, where Nick accused me of slacking cause the score wasn't as high and maybe I was getting more beatable, to which (with a big grin) I thanked him for his vote of confidence :P

So yes, if I came across ungallant, it really was just the editing. Brenda was a really lovely woman, and I was genuinely pleased for her :)

One of the hardest conundrums of all time if I do say so myself.

Enjoying your games Zarte, and even though I'm not scoring properly, you're beating me in lots of rounds.

Robbo said yesterday that it might be familiar. A quote from a middle-aged female friend of mine "So he gets orgasms, but he doesn't get courtship - kids today!"

Indeed I can, lots of stuff cut out at the end there.

Although, not as much as Nick trying to introduce OoW as "a trip to "Susie's Special Spot"..... :P :oops: :lol: (That was redone 3 times, and he still didn't get it :!: :? (And with it coming straight after ORGASMS and AREOLA, the crowd just collapsed into laughter each time. :lol: :lol: :lol: ))

Just got back from holiday and caught up on Countdown. Good performances in your first few games Zarte. Having not seen/heard about your potential future games, I hope you keep it up. :)

Real word but, for some reason, not in OED3.
