Countdown - Rachel

[Bazile]

Is there going to be one show , where the baby isn't mentioned ?

[LadyCG]

What's wrong with mentioning the baby?

[Hopkirk]

No chance

[ummmm]

Mentioning the baby is boring.

//Mentioning the baby is boring.//

To you maybe, but there may be a great number who are interested.

[shoota]

Listen to it with the sound off...

[weecalf]

So if the letters come up VWYBTAQIB .I got 4 BABY

[ummmm]

Yes, and a good many who aren't.

I love kids, especially little ones but I have no interest in Rachel's child.

I like reading about your son, LCG, because I've met you, I spoke to you on a personal basis for years, but I have no interest in celebs talking about theirs though.

I have 3 of them. I'd give them away at the moment, they're all greedy :-)

(I can't get rid of them, they keep coming back)

[Paigntonian]

Get a life and leave her alone.

[Jude1630]

I’ve no real interest either, but it’s often Nick who mentions her baby, on the episodes I’ve seen anyway

[Bazile]

^^^
Who is that directed to ?

[Georgiesmum]

So when is it due? I used to watch Countdown every day at one time but that was when Carol Vorderman was on it.

[Georgiesmum]

At the moment any news that isnt covid related is good news to me.x

[Cloverjo]

Is she having another child, or they still talking about the first one? I haven’t seen it for a while and ff through the intro chatty bits anyway.

[anneasquith]

Ummmm, put the kids on eBay .

[Cloverjo]

I’ve got a funny greetings card that I haven’t sent to anyone yet. It shows a picture of a harassed mum with three kids. The caption reads “I child-proofed the house...but they keep getting back in” :)

Sorry for going a bit off-topic, Bazile.

[ummmm]

Anne - no-one would want them. They're too old. Youngest is still cute though (22)

[CrapAtCryptics]

We stopped watching it because of Bens endless repetition of every single rule., it just gets tedious. I`ve said before he should subscribe to the Jeremy Clarkson school of compering ie you know the rules, yes, lets move on with playing.

I got BAIT ! :o)

I passed an audition this year to go on Countdown. I should have been there for filming in September but I pulled out after seeing all the champions wipe the floor with duffers like me, during lockdown. Yes, I chickened out! I was looking forward to asking Rachel if she was familiar with The Magic Square and if she wasn't, I was going to show her how to do it, more or lesss instantly. Maybe she would be more interested in baby talk!

[Cloverjo]

It’s a shame you didn’t take part, 10CS. Yes, they have some whizzkids on, but they also have a lot of duffers who I’m sure you could have wiped the floor with.

[10ClarionSt]

Well, this week I missed Thurs & Fri but the champ beat me on Wed by 3 pts. However, I wiped the floor with him on Tues, scoring 105 pts without getting the conundrum. I also had a 9 letter word that the contestants missed, and that was HERBALIST. That word leapt out at me. My mother was always sending me to the herbalists when I was a nipper. There were lots of herbalists near us in those days. :o)
