Sometimes I'm surprised by the amount of shows someone has done, but I think in Ned's case it really does feel like he's been there since about last Christmas.

Probably because he's had so much airtime with his advice, and also I'd heard of him before he even appeared through the Guardian article and Glenn Hugill's interview at Bother's Bar!

I don't like the gap between Ian and Shed

Why? It's actually quite a close gap... only about 6 inches...

sorry to be picky h but its 5 inches if you are talking about shows

I'm surprised they don't have a 6-inch rule!

H

I meant the gap between shows

Yes, I know!

I'd like it to be Ned tomorrow - I think it would be quite appropriate, given that last time the 29th of a month fell on a Wednesday (March), we had another stats guru, Aaron, give us an absolute classic!

Ned - 27 shows (replaced Lee)
Margaret - 26 shows (replaced Sandra)

None of the playing contestants since Amanda have done more than 20 shows. It's like they've forgotten that Ned, Margaret and Ian exist...

OK, Ned has to do at least one more show now - if he plays on Sunday, there'll be nobody left on more than 22 shows, and as we all know, that's the worst thing ever. So, as much as it will annoy me to see her do just 19 shows, I'm going to predict Jaye for Sunday.

There's a humungous gap between Mike and Ned now. Is this the biggest gap ever? (Excluding Lucy.)

I think Ned's being saved for the Sunday night show - though I would like to see him become the longest running player since Lucy! Glad he didn't play today though as he had the 1p.

I wonder if Ian will be replaced by Mark 7? Would let the Marks catch up with the Johns as well...

whats with all these recycled names...rachel, lucy,,,,


thats why they need a Colm on

I would say Maggie for Sunday

hi guys,,,,sos 2 offend ne1,,,but ive only done 28 shows, i read all the post after every show, and as u may guess mine must be coming up soon, so please be nice, ill be reading what u guys say

cheers

NED

Haha, I'm looking forward to your game, Ned, should be a good one, what with you being the resident statician!

This is for the next game. So basically, how many shows you would have done after Sundays game
