This is in my paper today!

Air turned blue on Countdown

Bosses at television's Countdown had to axe a round after a contestant offered up an expletive during filming of an edition, Channel 4 said yesterday. Competitors on the long-running show, in which people make the longest word from a selection of letters, were given "DTCEIASHF".

But they were given a new set of letters and asked to try again when Cambridge University student Jack Hurst, 18, produced the word "SH**FACE".Channel 4 said: "Countdown is a daytime programme and this particular word was not deemed appropriate for a daytime audience so not included in the show."
And yet they allowed "w*nker" when Carol did it

Jeff is getting on my nerves with his habit of sucking in air through his teeth.
Someone else who does that is Dermot on the X Factor and his radio 2 programme on Saturdays!

I think they managed to get through a whole show today without a Jeff height or weight 'joke' (see my earlier post). Still the football talk goes on & on. :yawn::yawn::yawn:

Anyway - the sharp intakes of breath - yes, I was thinking the last couple of days that this phenomenon is definitely increasing in frequency.

The leather was so shiny I truly thought she had a bin bag on her top half.
Dreadful outfit, probably the worse one ever.

Rachel could wear a bin bag and still look great.

I'd prefer to see her dispense with the bin bag altogether.

Umm, surely from those letters you could add the D to get the perfect nine letter word SH/TFACED?

When that oafish oik Rory McGrath was on recently he turned to Suzi with a smile and asked if QUIM would be allowed and Suzi said no, and Rory asked again if she was sure, and she said no again.

I'm sorry Suze, but Quim ( archaic slang: Vagina ) is in every dictionary i've read.

Was she getting a bit prudish I wonder, or annoyed by Rory's attempt to embarrass her ?

They have allowed it several times, just recently as well if I recall correctly.

I thought that the black leather outfit looked like a bin bag. Also, Rachel appears to have adopted the ghastly teenage fad of leggings - rather adolescent in my opinion.

I've seen her in opaque tights before, but not leggings..still it's getting chilly out, it's best if she covers up a bit

Leggings are OK if they are on shapely pins.

However it's a bit disconcerting, It looks as if the lass has forgot to put a skirt on and just walking about in thick tights.

Do you mean pair of leggings. I haven't seen the show for ages apart from the odd youtube thing via DS.

Rachel is a lovely girl , but I much preferred the more ample figure of Carol. She was something else in tight trousers or a short tight skirt.

Hmmm, to me she looked like she had the backside and thighs of an elephant ...........

Rachel does it again. Superb.

And I'm annoyed that the champ went through on the cunumdrum. The young lady was rather fetching.
