[Richard Whiteley]

[Lady Whistledown]

Ten tickets to watch Palace's next home game, thus increasing their average attendance by 40%.

Second prize wins 20 tickets, or however many you can fil la bus with.

No, you simply have the satisfaction of being able to add the title Undisputed Countdown Conundrum King of NSC to your signature should you so choose.

 

[Bozza]

Just got back.

At what point will Titanic admit he used a site similar to:

http://www.a2zwordfinder.com/anagram.html

I've just found it after his chogier or whatever it was...

And that 'foliated' was just too quick.

 

[tinx]

No way.

cheat cheat cheat cheat.....quality website though.

 

[Titanic]

Bozza - mmm

I've had a quick look, but I don't see how can you use that site, in this case ? These are not anagrams of the 9 letters.

You would have to keep trying different subsets... which would take ages.

 

[Lady Whistledown]

So do you want these Palace tickets then?

Honestly, can't give the things away these days....

 

[Titanic]

err... no thanks Edna !

Hmm, after another look at how it works.. yes it would have been useful, wouldn't it !

 

[Bozza]

Titanic, I put "h i o r g f a e c" in to that site and it gives me:

You're claiming you knew both of those words ?!?

 

[Titanic]

It wouldn't be that surprising to know both if you know one - they are very similar in derivation and meaning.

Titanic, you are collared, admit you're cheating.

 

[Deano's Right Foot]

I "cheated" using something called Andy's Anagrams. Not as sophisticated as the other one though. Next round will have to be football players or something!

Choragi. Never heard of it! mmmmmmm

 

[Titanic]

Cheating suggests breaking rules ... so, not guilty!

I call it enterprising use of technology. After all, it is my job !



And it you twerps don't know your choragi from your choregi more fool you !
