Krystal, if polish goes clumpy or dries up, add a drop or two of nail varnish remover to it and its as good as new

Bruno, did you keep recordings of them ?? Do you ever watch yourself, or show E when hes older and say daddy was smart once !!!

Bruno - did you have to take 6 outfits, and did they get the audience to swap places? I've always wondered these things!

hi all,

read back in bits and pieces but now have forgotten what to say.

i am feeling ill, ill, ill, ill, ill. just been really sicky all day. reminding me of when i was PG.

LO is still poo. such explosive nappies. i am not sure if i can save the vest from the last disaster. i think she must have a tummy bug.

i am doing a morning at work tomorrow during the day. still not keen on the idea of going back. like most of us i imagaine, i am praying for a lottery win. i dont want a massive one, just one that can see me stay at home and look after LO for the next 5 years and start my own business

I just googled myself :rolleyes: it was only 8 years ago it turns out! I wish I had, my mum recorded them but turned out her video player was on the blink and all the recordings were horribly lined and crackly and virtually unwatchable :mad:
I do have a little memorabilia though - I won one round with the word "orgasmed" - and Carol played up to it a bit so it got on page 3 of the Sun, and the Virgin breakfast show etc, and still occasionally gets shown on blooper reel type shows! So I have a copy of the tabloids with it in and a dictionary signed by Magnus Magnusson

Yes, had to bring 6 tops (not bottoms, as you spend basically the whole show behind a desk). The celebrities had to do full changes. They didn't ask the audience to change around though.

Thanks MM, but simce I've kept mine in the fridge they've never gone gloopy (Since I had children I've probably painted them half a dozen times too! Changing my nail colour was a twice weekly occurence BC!)

Lol Ladybird!

My Grandad used to watch Countdown every night... My Nan used to call Carol Vordeman his other woman... He died 3 months after Richard Whitely... I think it was the loss that killed him... (that was a joke... He would of appreciated a good joke like that my grandad...)

If you emailed Channel 4, then they should be able to send you a copy of the episodes you were on. I know someone who did that when she was on Fun House (if anyone remembers that) and decided a few years ago that she wanted to see it !!
Took them a few months, but she did get it !

OH son has got in touch with him via his brother and wants to meet. He hasnt seen him since he was little due to his ex wife but hes 18 now. OH is really pleased but understandably nervous. He has had a different upbringing to what OH would have given him and reading some of the things he has on his fb page I'm not sure that he is the sort of person who I would want as part of our family, Am I being awful?? Me and Oh have discussed this and at first he will meet him on his own.

Pink Princess - I think I am the only other one in this situation. DH has 2 older boys, 20 and 21, and neither of them has met Benjamin. Things are not that settled between them and their dad and they are too flighty. I will not have them in and out of Benjamin's life. Once they have proven that they can remain in their dads life, I will think about them being allowed into Benjamin's life. If that means that they do not meet him until he is old enough to make his own decision (I am talking 18 if necessary) then so be it.

I can spell pronunciation, won Countdown 5 times in Carol's company, and am at most a bit posh

Aw bless, my big cousin (I mean big as in older, not fat!!) went on too, so I wouldn't dare for fear that I won't do as well (he won 4 I think). I loved Richard Whitely as a child and a young adult, was teased mercilessly for it at Uni!! We were on honeymoon (Las Vegas, Maui (Hawaiian island) and San Francisco ) when he died. I was devastated that I only found out about 3 months later
