Some of you may recall that Ragnorak used to do a very enjoyable countdown thread. Essentially, the game is based on the UK TV show. For those of you who haven't seen it, it's a words and numbers game.
Firstly, you are given a selection of nine letters from which you will construct the longest word you can that is acceptable to the New Oxford Dictionary of English (hence no American spellings).
PM me the words and of course don't resort to using word finders as it would be rather churlish.
RD 1 MOGATCOID
RD 2 AIEPNRRLS
RD 3 TASCOIDDR
RD 4 OUNGERTSE
I will update once I get a few PMS and then post a number round; or this thread will die a death and I will be driven to drink.

I'll give these a bash later on when I'm not so hungover.
This is the original thread, which I've enjoyed rereading through. Cheers for the memories.
