Cracks fingers in an aggressive manor, crosses arms then starts to whistle the theme tune to blockbusters.
Block busters, now there's an idea.

Loads of great entries there. Mat Kelley got a bit stressed trying to find a 9 there, and couldn’t take his mind off NICOTINE for 8. jimslyp was nearly incontinent but had to content himself with INCONTENT, which he declares as a dodgy 9. A dirty 9 inquires Richard. A dodgy 9 repeats jim. In fact, it was a very dodgy 9 as the Guardians of the Dictionary, Susie Dent and Stephen fry, are unable to find it in the dictionary corner.

But we have 6 receivers of recs this round. Carol? *Carol looks suspiciously at Richard. Runs hand through hair* Yes Richard. Co… *Richard snickers* Cou… *Richard tries desperately not to laugh* Could…*Richard wipes eyes and inhales deeply, then exhales slowly* Could OnThePiste, invigorate, wucky3, Darvlay, Chris and rhb all have a CONTINENT please, Carol? *Richard cracks up* *Even contestants are forced to join him* *Carol winks at wucky!!! 😲*

So, as per, could the 9 letter masters please post a *receiving applauses in manner of recipients choosing* post to receive the rec? All recs from previous round have been given out.

And now onto the final numbers round of this game. Carol receives instructions of 1 from the top and any other 5, and the numbers are…

*** 25, 9, 2, 2, 3, 3 ***

And Cecil sets the target at…

*** 865 ***
*immediately Carol intakes breath in manner to suggest she’s already gone through every possible method, and failed!*

If you get the exact number, then post your solution immediately to receive the rec. If you get within 10, pm me your solution, do not post it. Closest person, within 10, receives the rec. In the event of a tie, all closest receive recs. If somebody posts the exact solution before you, feel free to post your different solution if you so wish.

Your time starts now.

I know he went to Giggleswick School in Yorkshire, and that he's an OBE, but I can't find his degree status anywhere.

Besides, he's not really called Richard.

His real first name is John!

I've met him - I was working for a really dire firm in Leeds who thought it would be a good idea to have an alcohol free quiz night in fancy dress.
Each team had to choose a country to represent, and of course the stereotyping was out in full force.
We were France, and I had surreptitiously sneaked a two litre bottle of Coke in with a full litre of Vodka!
Got so drunk that when we won (!) I had to stagger up to the stage to get the prize of Twice Nightly (who was the compere for the evening).
We were France, and I decided to place my beret on his head for the team photo! He was not amused....(and neither was my boss who found out I was p**sed when I threw up on my way to the toilet!)

Some great efforts there. Chris thought that somebody must have been STEALING all the good words for 8. Favs felt like ALERTING Mat's smug post, cos he only got 8. Good effort from jimslip, who thinks that Carol is a STARLING bud of May. *Groans all round* *"Have you any hope?" is heard somewhere i ...[text shortened]... N ***

There's 9 in the frames, lets get on with the game.
