Do they read it though, or is there a double agent going by the name of GuyBarry?

Honestly, TG, how do you work these things out? QI are on 2937, so they've got 63 to go, not 43.Tube Geek wrote:357 to go for us....

Still rather a lot to catch up though!

Re: Counting - discussion thread
Why don't you make a post to the Counting thread and help to close the gap then? The last valid one you made was 2617.

Weekly progress report
I'm pleased to say we're on target to hit 3000 well before Christmas. However, on current form QI will get there before us.
In the last seven days, QI have advanced from 2929 to 2943 - an average of 2 posts a day. At this rate they will reach 3000 around 28th October. We have advanced from 2600 to 2651 - an average of 7.29 posts a day. At this rate we will reach 3000 around 16th November, and won't overtake QI until 24th November (at about 3053).
If QI continue at their current rate we'll need to average 12.25 posts a day to overtake them before 3000. We'll have to hope they slow down again!

I would point out that they posted nothing at all yesterday, so maybe there's hope...

I looked at Apterous once, but was put off by the fact that you had to pay after the first few games.Tube Geek wrote:Richard Pay [C] 30 - 111 Kirk Bevins was the 2675th game on APTEROUS
http://apterous.org/viewgame.php?game=2675 [C] means classic. You should join, GB!
The game you linked to appears to be a copy of an actual Countdown game (episode 3642). I thought Apterous was a site where you played online?
