I thought Martin Lewis was excellent on Countdown, really entertaining and I enjoyed his question about the orange juice. Well done Martin!

Hi Martin! I saw you today!
No ailuro2, we don't find out what the word was until the Wednesday show.You're spelling is effecting me so much. Im trying not to be phased by it but your all making me loose my mind on mass!! My head is loosing it's hair. I'm going to take myself off the electoral role like I should of done ages ago and move to the Caribean. I already brought my plane ticket, all be it a refundable 1.0 -
Just be glad i dont go on countdown
2 mins and i would be ejected from the studio!0 -
I also interpreted the clue in that way and also ruled out erection cos it has other, more innocent meanings!
The only similar word I can think of is 'stiffies', but surely that's not in the dictionary!
I thought the same but thinking about it I can't think of a proper meaning of the word erection. I think (but I ain't great at english) that you can erect something, something can be erected but once its erect it isn't an erection unless we're talking about willies.0 -
