[Zenon]

Even though he was not bad, I don't mind that he's going.

[MK Chris]

I'm sure the makers of Countdown are comforted by this.

[Yudster]

Oh no?

[Munki Bhoy]

I haven't watch Countdown since the untimely death of Twice-Nightly. Its just not the same.

[lima eel]

I don't care as long as Carol doesn't leave, then I'd heartbroken!

[Munki Bhoy]

Oh, to clarify, I haven't watch a whole episode of Countdown since then. Otherwise how would I know it wasn't the same?

[Chris]

I don't care as long as Carol doesn't leave, then I'd heartbroken!

Oh dear. Carol Vorderman quits Countdown

[Bonanzoid]

Now they're buggered.

[Munki Bhoy]

May as well bring the show to an end then.

[foot-loose]

Do da, do da, dodadoda - Baaoow!

[TIAL]

I don't care as long as Carol doesn't leave, then I'd heartbroken!

Oh dear. Carol Vorderman quits Countdown

Oh no!

[MK Chris]

Maybe I'm missing the attraction, I never watched Countdown for a start, but... what is the attraction with Carol Vorderman? She's not bad, but nothing special.

[Munki Bhoy]

Intelligence, Topher. She's not stunning, but she's not a munter. Her brain makes her more attractive.

[TIAL]

Plus she's been on there since the start.

[MK Chris]

So? Ian Beale has been in Eastender since the start (or near the start), do you fancy him?

[catherine]

I do.

[TIAL]

I don't fancy him - but nor do I watch Eastenders. If I did, I'd probably be reluctant to see a mainstay leave, much like Carol Vorderman.

[Munki Bhoy]

From what I've seen of Eastenders, I'd be more than happy to punch Ian Beale in the face. He's an arse. I certainly wouldn't cry if he left.

[lima eel]

*heart breaking*

[DevilsDuck]

They should never have let Richard Whitely leave *watches the tumble weed tumble by*

[pjordan2000]

So? Ian Beale has been in Eastender since the start (or near the start), do you fancy him?

And Ken Barlow in Corrie....equally unattractive though

[Yudster]

Intelligence, Topher. She's not stunning, but she's not a munter. Her brain makes her more attractive.

In what way? She scraped through university getting a 2nd in engineering, and can do mental arithmetic. I'm not sure that equates to unusual intelligence. I like Countdown though.

[Munki Bhoy]

Hang on... since when did getting a 2nd in your degree mean you didn't have intelligence? I missed that memo! They've declared me thick!

[Yudster]

I said "unusual intelligence", which is what Carole Vordermann is usually credited with. She is certainly not unusually intelligent.

[Munki Bhoy]

I never said she was. But she's certainly more intelligent than your average TV female presenter.

But you're right, she's not unusually intelligent. If she was I'd probably have to credit myself with that, and while it may have been true when compared with others I went to school with, to be honest my school was thick.
