Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

How could the OC team not get the Chi group on the wall? What else could huahua have been other than Chihuahua?! Deserved to lose...

I’d love to have a go on OC, but I wouldn’t want to be on TV. I did apply to the chase, but mainly because my Mum liked it and I would watch it with her when I visited. Never even got a telephone interview. Shame, because I think I’d have done well if I got on.

I immediately thoughout of HaHa (a wall) and then told myself it must be spent HuaHua. The capitalisation threw me.

The left hand team were very strong; boring, but strong.

Yes! I couldn't warm to them at all, and wanted the other team to do better, but they absolutely dominated. Wasn't really concentrating during missing vowels (got very absorbed with answering rather than watching who answered!) but they seemed to demolish that too. Fingers crossed a more charismatic team does for them later :)

The captain of the team got most of them. Some of them were obvious. but there were some obscure ones that he also got quickly. They were impressively calm and systematic on the wall. The job of the guy on the right seemed to be to remind the captain to press the button before the time ran out.

It also helped that I'd been to Chichester earlier in the day, but not in a Chilean Chinook

The HuaHua question is why I would never go on OC - I would never have got that link! On the other hand I impressed my brother by recognising the Shangri-las on UC :-)
