  1. I've just tried this and the word I eventually got was Jazzy. One vowel and three of the worst five consonants. f**k off.
  2. Are there any teams missing? How many games do you play in a season?
  3. Week 3 update 3 deaths for week 3. Up first, Robert Durst: Millionaire murderer Robert Durst dies in prison - BBC News It seems like his death isn't going to solve anything though as there's going to be a legal battle for his money: Dead wife's relatives seek part of Robert Durst's fortune - ABC News (go.com) Durst died at 78 so he's worth 47 Base Points for @Arbroathlegend36-0 and @JustOneCornetto, with a Deadly Duo bonus giving them both 72 points in total. ====================== Second death this week was organist Francis Jackson: Francis Jackson, organist, composer and doyen of cathedral music who spent nine decades associated with York Minster – obituary (telegraph.co.uk) This is as much as the Telegraph will give me. I'd go looking for an example of his organing but there's too much today. I'm sure he was good. Jackson died at 104 so he's worth 21 Base Points, with a Solo Shot for @JustOneCornetto giving him 71 in total. ====================== The final death this week was American Rabbi Israel Dresner: .... no UK obituaries. 'Most arrested Rabbi' Israel Dresner dies at age 92 - CBS New York - Jnews is the best I can manage so far. It's Martin Luther King day in America tomorrow, so here's a picture of the two of them together: He looks remarkably like Jeff Goldblum. Dresner was a pick for @HibsFan, @lichtgilphead and @Ned Nederlander but it doesn't look like you're going to get any points. As ever I'll keep an eye out. As a result of all of this, the standings look like this: 1. Arbroathlegend36-0 255 2. Indale Winton, Ned Nederlander 183 4. chomp my root, sparky88, The_Craig 144 7. JustOneCornetto 143 8. Arch Stanton 135 9. cdhafc1874 130 10. Bishop Briggs, gkneil, Savage Henry 104 13. Hamish's Passenger, Moomintroll, The DA 31 16. Everyone else 0 The spreadsheet has also been updated with these scores: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1mup1IJllKHs0a47J8G6IXUkvShJrV28Iuc-Kkn7RKuo/edit?usp=sharing
  4. Imagine watching Prime Minister's Questions in 2022 and complaining about how the opposition are dressed and turned out.
  5. I will be needing it for even less intensive purposes than you, so that sounds good.
  6. First Capaldi was good. Second was just... there. Third... I'm ten minutes into episode two, who knows.
  7. I've been looking for a new phone and this is the first thing I saw that looked like it fit my needs. Is it any good?
  8. I'd just like to say I'm thrilled with the name change.
  9. She's extremely ordinary! She's from a multi-racial, irregular home, she's a lesbian, she's got an accent and she's got a boy's name. Her outfit has clearly been designed meticulously to look completely random and spontaneous. She's as ordinary as it gets. I did enjoy her saying the Doctor runs like a penguin with its arse on fire, so at least she might have decent patter. The reason I've stopped paying as much attention since about midway through Matt Smith relates to the point you're making though. Since it started the companions and stories happened in real places to real people - Rose, Martha and Donna all had lives and families and a real world that were affected by whichever aliens came in to invade each week. The Ponds lived in a village which wasn't real and Clara may as well have been a figment of the Doctor's imagination. This is fine, but at some point in the last decade all BBC dramas started looking identical. I don't know if they're all filmed in the same place or by the same people but the whole thing looks like a very deliberate TV show. It doesn't matter where an episode of this is set. It could be on a housing estate, a city, a ship, literally anywhere else in the universe, and it all just looks the same, so much so that it looks unreal. The Ponds and Clara at least fit with that since they barely seemed real either but whatever's going on with the filming makes the show a lot less engaging to me than it was before it went to HD.
  10. Literally any barbers, I didn't know a short back and sides went above a tenner
  11. The last time I had a haircut my usual place was shut and the first place I found skinned me £20. At least I got it washed as well for that
  12. Three and a half minutes in and I can't stand her voice. About another five before I just start tuning her out, I think.
  13. You sure about that? Marilyn Monroe’s Sister Just Turned 101 And She’s Beautiful - Obsev
  14. Go into the settings and turn on Hard Mode and you won't be able to. Wordle 208 4/6*
  15. What sort of workie eats Pink Lady apples?
  16. I looked at this thread (two pages ago) before I started today's, so I knew the answer was something stupid. I currently have grey, green, yellow, grey, grey and 9 other letters left and I have no idea. Ed - oh, hold on a minute Wordle 207 6/6
