In the absence of photographic proof, I may have to conclude that that situation exists only in your mind...!

It must be the dress; I thought she looked a little 'curvier' than usual too

No wonder he went for 'Two large ones' at that final numbers game!

Maybe a calculated response by RR to the (rather out-of-left field) news today about Vorderman being the new Rear of the Year?

I don't recall her being as top heavy as that in the early days.
Ain't complaining though.

The previous days black leggings and short skirt was excellent too.

What she got on today ?

I can't tell, maybe the ladies will know, but with that backless thing on are the lovely boobies free to dangle, unfettered by bra ?

Can we bring this thread back to some sort of propriety?
I find the current Graham a smug git and am always suspicious of people who know obscure words, I was hoping that todays other Graham was going to beat him.

Suzy creates a rod for her own back with that stupid restaurant rule - it would be much more sensible just to say the dictionary definition is final that way there is no room for interpretation and no controversy. If the challenger had got the conundrum he would have won based upon her decision that you could order two gruels in a restaurant.

Even if the term "two gruels" was in common usage there are lots of common words that aren't in the dictionary and aren't allowed - an example would be "pooter" which is a really common word that doesn't happen to be in the dictionary.

The knowledge of obscure words is the secret to winning Countdown.

They tried this once and it didn't work. It meant you could have brandies and whiskies but not beers.

You go by what the dictionary says it's quite simple. The people wring the dictionary decide whether a term is in common enough usage to qualify. Once you introduce subjective decisions you end up with controversy and why only restaurant items? Why not DIY store items?

Yes we would all disagree about certain words, my example of "pooter" which is very common compared to some of the obscure literary definitions used by a tiny number of scholars (the ODoE has a definite bias towards literary terms surprise surprise) but for the game of Countdown the dictionary should be king.

If the dictionary says you can't order "two beers" then Countdown shouldn't allow "beers" the same way it doesn't allow "pooter".

They learn these obscure words by playing online Countdown, in many cases they have absolutely no idea of what the words mean. I don't think there's anything you can do about it but it makes it almost impossible for a "non anorak" to win at Countdown.
