    So was it 2-0 to Eddie?

    Have you even played chess before, Toby?

    <laugh> I was doing well in the first and didn't check out if my queen could escape.

    2nd game he rushed me and it blocked half my pieces.

    I'm about 6 beers in and braindead from work. Definitely up for a rematch.

    Sorry I didn't win the nanos for you :frown:

    Btw the nanos are at today's price, just in case Musk tweets about them and they go to £1k each <laugh>

    Has it been on already, what time is it on at, used to be late at night. I did read the other day that more people watch Only Connect than Eastenders. Nobody would have thought that 5 years ago.

    You were better than I expected, definitely not a bot too as you could have ****ed me over a couple of times.

    Quite good but can't see tonight's winner going all the way, you'd be surprised to hear I didn't get the Musk question right, say no more won't ruin it for you.

    I usually get a few right and the missing vowels round, I either see it straight away or I could be there all day. Obviously ****ed if the missing vowels are about a subject I don't know though.

    Same here, I get an odd one right in first 2 rounds, I'm better with the wall and vowel rounds

    Yeah the wall can be hit or miss for me. It is a lot easier after the 1st group is found
