I never watched this show I think so not sure what happens when someone passes.
As you would have seen, once you pass, obviously you stay alive, but you run the risk of not making it back to the chair if the people in front of you answer too many questions correctly.

Wow, next question I noticed Eddie did not mention Pluto as a planet when saying orbits around Sun in Solar System.
Guess it must have been downgraded...lol... Wish I could solve the same issue with Cotchin...
Lol...yeah, Pluto got reclassified as a dwarf planet in the mid 2000s, and doesn't feature in the regular naming of planets in the solar system anymore. Pretty stupid if you ask me - everyone already knows it's small.

OMG, some of these passes are doing my head in. Pass on whom did not captain Aussie cricket team when Steve Waugh and Ian Chappell, Warney and Gillly the options. Obviously he is not a cricket watcher. I remember Gilly filling in for captain one Test we lost in England I think we he declared in awkward situation and backfired. Would have thought easy to figure it was Warney unless you thought it was related to one dayers possibly.

OMG, he passes to a Yank woman to answer...lol.. that is funny.

OMG, she's only been here 9 months. She's got no hope of getting this...lol
I think he may have known the answer to this, but passed it to her to essentially knock her out. Even if not, we were down to 5 people after this and the 1 million eliminated as a prize.

He he.. Well done..

Haha no worries mate, glad you had a laugh with it. In terms of the study, I could have never done it without a break after my undergraduate degrees were done, and while my PhD is considered study, for the most part I've just been working away in a lab doing experiments (laser-atom interactions) so it's really just a job that is payed really badly, but on the flipside I get to play with some really awesome equipment and technology. You don't do a PhD for the money though, it's all about focusing your energy on a topic/research area you believe in and making a solid research contribution, opening a lot of doors for life after PhD in the process. But all I think about atm is finishing hopefully by Christmas like I say on air, winning Supercoach and travelling/seeing more of the world :)

Lol, I vaguely recall something but can't remember what you said. There have been too many beverages between then and now LOL!

Seriously, how hard is it for AFL Fantasy to get their app functioning in a useful manner? So many updates and it's still woeful. The so called live scores don't update and the "match centre" is useless. They can't even sort out which players are unique!

Great guess at the end there Kakarot! Well done.

Yes Pluto is no longer a Planet. It was re-classified in 2006 and is now considered a 'Drawf Planet'.

the section where we see in a nice looking yellow bubble 'my team' shows someone else's team when I've clicked it.

which link do you place in my profile to allow others to view my team?
I've just cut and pasted the first screen that you get when you log on..

http://supercoach.heraldsun.com.au/team/

On the main page, if you type your team name in the 'Player search' box to the right of your team name, a link to your team should be displayed like http://supercoach.heraldsun.com.au/other_teams/?tid=XXXXXX

In a totally non wierd way i've just spent a pleasant twenty odd minutes watching you on youtube Dan.

Congrats, well done.

I guess captain hindsight might sort of breakdown percheron into sounding like perch on and you couldn't really do that to any option but a horse.

Just checked google translate Percher is a French verb "to perch".

Any hints on stopping the SC live scores from constantly logging you out? I drives me mental! Or who to complain to so I can send them a strongly worded email?

I sent them an email last week, and the only response I got was

"What browser are you running?"

So I replied with a very strongly worded email, telling them how bad their customer service was, and pointing out, that 99% of the people in Australia are using one of 3 browsers, so wouldn't it have been prudent to just supply the "fix" for those 3 browers? They could have then asked me to reply if it wasn't one of those 3 browsers to reply with which one it was.
Ridiculous! I am 100% sure they're getting 100's of emails about this, so what a shoddy approach to the problem.
I will let you know what they say if/when I get another response. :mad:

I'm using Chrome. How about you? Tell me the email address you used! I write the best strongly worded emails ever and am incredible relentless once fired up. Let's get 'em!

Nope, very common complaint that was happening about as a 10th often last season.
I have a feeling it is their way of blocking other websites from constantly pinching the live score feed.
Those site needs to keep logging in, just like we do, and some won't be geared to do that.
Still, don't protect your product, by pssing off your core customers. That's worse for business than someone stealing your product.

Dear Herald Sun,

I have paid for a Digital subscription which includes SuperCoach Gold and live SuperCoach scores under this email address as my user I.D.

I am constantly being logged out of the live scores feed - this happens approximately every 5-10 minutes, the updates cease to refresh and when I manually refresh I am asked to log in through one AND then another log in window. This has happened from the first day I began using this service. This is making the service unusable.

Before you ask I am using Chrome and I have checked around and it is not a Chrome issue with other people using Internet Explorer reporting the same problem.

Please respond as soon as possible to let me know how to fix the problem and what compensation you will offer me for not providing this service correctly.

If the problem is as wide spread as I suspect please detail how long it will take to rectify it and how you intend to compensate myself and the thousands of other subscribers who have paid for this premium service and have been delivered an unsatisfactory product.

Regards,

Mr Young

Hey everyone,
What is the deal with T Mitchell. Is he not getting rotated through the mids? Is he injured, please tell me why he has decided to spread his but-cheeks and deliver two oozing mud monkeys into my supercoach team in the last two weeks?
I think I'll have to keep because I've will have used 6 trades by the end of this week but, I am seriously doubting his capacity and will at worst have to ride him out to the byes.
