A reminder that the voting window is noon to 8 p.m. UK time.
I am about to start a tournament chess game at 11 with instant disqualification if my phone is found to be live or even on my person.

I wonder if any of you have been on the TV show Countdown? I appeared in 2004, the days of Whiteley and Vorderman. My first opponent was Ariane Sherine, soon to be in the news with her atheist slogans on buses.

You had to wear a different top each time you won and appeared again. She wore such a low cut one for my game that the producer made her change it. I just beat her on the crucial conundrum in what turned out to be the lowest winning score of the series. In my next game I was hammered by a woman who scored double points with the 9-letter CROAKIEST while I managed only the pathetic ROCKETS.

The Ariane Sherine link hasn't worked properly in #42 so I am trying this one
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ariane_Sherine

or just google her name.

Spike can rely on Dawn to get fat arse out, presenting hole at 12:50 (9)

Spike - at the end
Count D(a) o wn
Fat - superior/top (a)rse
12:50 - ten to one

Fat - top/ superior etc.
