[nilesfunnies] Re: So, farewell then...

I was puerilely but thoroughly amused by 'Countdown' t'other day - and
it's not often I can say that.

The letters were K W E A N R F Z E

After the first six, Carol Vorderman was clearly fighting to keep a
straight face. Richard Whiteley followed that up with, 'Well, we can all see
one word there - FEZ....'

The two contestants both claimed a six-letter word, and I waited with
bated breath - but they produced 'Weaker' and 'Weaken'. Geoffrey
Durham, in Dictionary Corner, visibly twitching, then assured us that
'There are definitely no other words there. Not at all.'

What was broadcast was edited together after the
original incident in which each of the contestants came up with the
obvious, leading to RW saying something like "so, that's a pair of
wankers, then".
