Somewhat specialist psychic skills
Many many years ago when I had a thoroughly crap job the highlight of our day was Countdown on the tellies we sold.

One day the conundrum comes on, the first letter was an S, and for a laugh I shouted "Shitfaced!" No reason, just the first nine letter word that sprang to mind.

But then (in no particular order).....

"Consonant please Carol"

"H"

"Consonant please Carol"

"C"

"Vowel please Carol"

"E"

Consonant please Carol"

By now we were just wondering.....

"T"

Vowel please Carol"

"A"

"Vowel please Carol"

"I"

"Consonant please Carol"

"F"

"Consonant please Carol"

We were on tenterhooks!

And.......

Cock! Can't remember what it was, obviously not an D, nor did I work out the odds of even getting that far, but I looked like a Letter-God for a brief few moments and even my twat of a boss smiled briefly.

Length? 9 letters, same as always.

^ My mum's favourite daytime activity
is watching Countdown and making sweariness every time she can. Her favourite is "arse", which she then yells in a Father Jack voice to let everyone nearby know.
