Housemate goes out to put dinner on while I watch, OC finishes, we scrabble for the remote to avoid the dreadful screeching violins of UC and I have my dinner. BBC really does have the monopoly in terrible-sounding theme songs, OC, UC, Arsehole Osman's House of Games, Jason Manford's new lowbrow vehicle...

larkim Sep 2024 9:19am, 17 Sep 2024 25,619 posts	Quote Pin larkim A combination of smart brains and some of the easier combinations / sequences last night conspired for some very high scoring. And an infuriating way to play the wall by the second team. "Just cycle through some combinations please, stop talking about groups you only vaguely have an idea about" was being yelled (in my head at least!) last night!!

Housemate was getting answers - plural. Normally he's lucky if he even understands the connections once they're revealed. The second wall had my blood boiling. They won't progress far using that strategy on harder walls. That said, the first set of missing vowels were beastly!
