00:00Thank you very much.
00:31Good afternoon. Good afternoon. Welcome to the Countdown studio. 17th of March. That means it's St. Patrick's Day. And of
00:38course, you can't get shamrocks in this country. And I haven't been to Ireland recently and nobody sent me any.
00:44So I'm not wearing the green today. But all over the world, the great Irish diaspora are celebrating New York.
00:50They have a great parade. And just a couple of years ago, it was celebrated in space.
00:56And I've got a note here. An Irish-American astronaut called Catherine Cady Coleman played a hundred-year-old flute
01:02and whistle belonging to the great Irish band The Chieftains, whilst floating weightlessness way above the Earth in the International
01:09Space Station. That was in 2011.
01:11And then last year, the Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield, he photographed Ireland from the space station, whilst dressed in green
01:19and singing Danny Boy.
01:22Have you been to the Emerald Isle?
01:24Yeah, I spent some time when I was a teenager in kind of Dublin, Wicklow and Wexford.
01:28Yes?
01:29Love it.
01:29Absolutely love it.
01:30Holidays or student exchange?
01:32Holidays. Lots of holidays.
01:33Family stuff.
01:34Yes.
01:35And you enjoyed it?
01:36Oh, I loved it. Yeah, the people are the best part of it, aren't they?
01:39I mean, you ask someone for directions in Dublin and they'll pretty much take you there.
01:42Absolutely.
01:42And then all the pubs have got fires in and I'm always cold, so it's perfect.
01:45That's true. And Dublin, great crack in Dublin.
01:47If you get off the plane, get in a cab, it starts because the cabbies have got great sense of
01:52humour.
01:53Yeah.
01:54And talking about Ireland, of course, we've got Ruth Irwin from Lisbon here after meeting Joe Hamill on a crucial
02:01conundrum, 89 to 80 on last Monday, student at Dundee, studying law and French.
02:07And what are you going to do when you graduate? You're going to go to the bar or become a
02:11solicitor or what?
02:11Who knows? Hopefully a solicitor. I'd like to spend some time in France as well.
02:15You're going to go over there?
02:16Yeah.
02:17Why not?
02:18Why not?
02:18Great country, great country.
02:19You're joined by Matt Stiles, a student at the University of Nottingham from Connors Quay in North Wales, studying computer
02:26science. Is that right?
02:27That's right, yeah.
02:28Very good. And a couple of years ago, you hitchhiked from Nottingham to Morocco for charity.
02:34That's a good old trip and you ended up in a great country. Did you find...
02:38Fantastic. It was an absolutely great place, a fantastic experience.
02:41Beautiful country, isn't it? Beautiful. Not just the cities, but, you know, go out into the country.
02:47All the different colours of the mountains, mainly down to the mineral wealth of that country.
02:51Extraordinary. Green mountains, red mountains. It's an extraordinary place. I love it. I love it.
02:56Over in the corner. Oh, we've got the great Tim Vine, comedian, actor, writer and presenter, who was here last
03:04Monday.
03:04Yes, I was and I've come back again. It's lovely to hear about Morocco. I actually use a Moroccan rice
03:11dish to help me count. It's my abacuscus.
03:15Very good. And you're sitting next to Susie Dent. Susie, I send you, I send you best wishes for the
03:21coming few days to be sitting next to this character here.
03:24But welcome back, Tim. Look forward to a good crack all week. Now then, Ruth Owen. What about the letters
03:30game?
03:31Hi, Rachel. Hi, Ruth. Can I start with a consonant, please?
03:34Thank you. Start the week with a...
03:36And another.

04:50And in the corner,
04:51Susie and Tim.
04:53Coined, using the Q and the U.
04:56So Q-U-O-I-N-E-D.
04:58To coin a wall is to give it lots of external angles, cornerstones, that sort of thing.
05:04Really?
05:04A coin is a cornerstone.
05:05Yeah.
05:06Very good.
05:06Anything else?
05:07No, I actually struggled with that.
05:09But then I struggled with a lot of this.
05:10The letters all seem to be jumbled up.
05:12I know.
05:15Hopeless.
05:15Coined.
05:15I've never heard of that word before.
05:17So, six all.

06:30Yes, same word.
06:31Both loitering, two loiterers, and Tim, Susie.
06:37Honestly, I can't tell you how close I was to getting the word Toblerone.
06:41You get one E away from that.
06:43It was great.
06:43But we've got a fantastic eight here.
06:45What have we got there, Susie?
06:47Baritone.
06:48I say we, it's nothing to do with me.
06:49Yes, baritone.

13:01Lovely.
13:01212, well done.
13:03Good enough.
13:03Well done.
13:08So, 46 plays.
13:1028 as we turn to Tim Vine.
13:13Yes.
13:13Nervously.
13:15Well, that's easy for you to say.
13:17Do you know, I said to this acrobat, I said, have you got any winter pepper?
13:20He said, no.
13:20I said, somersault.
13:23But, and this yogurt came up to me and he said, eat me.
13:27He was one of those proactive yogurts.
13:29But, you know, I think if, these are all jokes, I think if you, if you put a gun to
13:33my head,
13:33and said, what's your favourite milky drink, I think I would have to say, why do we need
13:38the gun?
13:40I'm happy to answer that question without the threat of death.
13:43But I've, I've got two uncles, and the first is a straight-talking businessman, and the
13:48second one does owl impressions on a cruise liner.
13:51One shoots from the hip, and the other one hoots from the ship.
13:54But I'd like to show you, from the Tim Vine bumper book of silliness, a wonderful picture
13:58here.
13:59There we are, double page spread.
14:00There it is.
14:03That's the, that's that.
14:04But listen, all this week, I wanted to share something silly that you can do at home, and
14:08also in here is a wonderful thing you can do.
14:10It's called finger archery.
14:11And there you have the, the, the, you can see the target there.
14:15So what you do is you close your eyes, and you put your hand behind your back, and then
14:18you just go fire, like that, and then you see what you've scored.
14:21I didn't actually score that time.
14:22Let's have another go now.
14:24And that time I got six.
14:26So there's a lot of fun you can have there.
14:28And I, I said to Robin Hood, I said, where do you keep your arrows?
14:33He said, in a quiver.
14:34I said, where do you keep your arrows?
14:36I said, do you want a game of darts?
14:38He said, all right, then.
14:38I said, nearest the ball starts.
14:39He said, I said, you're closest.
14:43But the other day I was playing tennis with a napkin.
14:45I said, don't serve yet.
14:49But I'll leave you with this.
14:51This bloke said to me, he said, can you tell me your availability to run a football team
14:54in Sheffield?
14:55I said, I can't manage Wednesday.
14:58End of anecdote.
15:01End of career.
15:03Lovely stuff.
15:03You know there's somebody in the audience, because you're off to Melbourne next week
15:06or the week after.
15:07Do I know there's someone in the audience?
15:08Yes.
15:08Who saw you there last time?
15:10I was going to say.
15:11They said you were terrific.
15:13Well, the whole audience has come over.
15:16Now, I went to, I said to this bloke, I said, I've just been to Australia.
15:19He said, who did you fly with?
15:20I said, I don't know the names of all the other passengers.
15:23Brilliant stuff, Jim.
15:25Pleasure.
15:26More later.
15:26Now then, Ruth, off you go.
15:28Letters game.

16:44Did you both get that?
16:46Anything else?
16:47It's only five, but pogey.
16:50Poggey.
16:50Poggey in Canada is unemployment or welfare benefits, so you end up on pogey, you end up on benefits.

18:25A nine-letter word.
18:26Ooh.
18:30What is it?
18:31It's not a great word.
18:33It's tartiness.
18:34Described as sexually provocative, but in bad taste.
18:40You want to avoid tartiness at all costs.
18:42I wasn't planning on an excursion.

20:07Yeah, a couple of ways.
20:09Um, you could have said 50 times by 75 is three thousand seven hundred and fifty.
20:15Eight minus two is six.
20:17Divide that for six hundred and twenty-five.
20:20And add on the five for six thirty.

22:41I thought a phaser might be there, actually.
22:42F-A-I-Z-O-R.
22:45Phaser.
22:46It's like a gun they use on Star Trek or something.
22:51Actually, that's with a PH, isn't it?
22:53But it might be something there.
22:54Is it there?
22:55No.
22:56Oh.
22:59Well, what have you got a 6 there, anyway?
23:00What's your 6 there?
23:01Just one 6, yeah, that we could find.
23:04Florin.
23:04What does that mean?
23:05Florin used to be a British coin.
23:07Two bob?
23:07Of course it did.
23:08Two shillings, yes.
23:09Two bob.

23:11Nice word.
23:12Very nice word, yes.

24:06There.
24:17And.
24:29Ruth a slightly dodgy eight and how about mad six and that six pages yes now then Ruth
24:38Gropiest yeah I think I'm pretty sure I've sat in this chair before and and heard the word ropiest as
24:48a is it yes yes I'm bad as well
24:53um no you can't be gropey um groping but not gropey okay sorry what else have we got pottages pottages
25:02yeah yes kitchen gardens yes indeed very good all right but now 64 to 46 Susie Susie speak to us
25:11of
25:11wisdom I'm going to talk about um backlog because none of us like backlogs but back in the harsh
25:15winters of 17th century Eastern Europe we might actually have welcomed one um and I've talked
25:22before about the importance of fire in societies gone by and how words such as curfew and foyer both
25:28reveal how fires with the focus of the home and focus itself comes from the Latin for half
25:33uh because it was just so important and the very first meaning of the word backlog was a very literal
25:38one it was an extremely large log it was a yule log if it was around Christmas time and it
25:44took a very
25:44very long time to burn at the back of the fireplace it was the fires reserved it was the one
25:49that kept
25:49the flame going um and so the word moved on to mean the very foundation of something and um John
25:55Steinbeck in the wonderful east of Eden wrote if one is accused of a lie and it turns out to
26:00be the
26:00truth there is a backlog that will last a long time and protect a number of untrue so the idea
26:05was sort
26:06of protection um and the shift to mean um arrears if you like of of uncompleted tasks probably came
26:13about because there was a custom in the early days of um keeping the yule log burning for as long
26:18as
26:18possible and while it burned people could um put aside or blow off the jobs that they had uh to
26:24do that
26:24day so the idea was that you could keep yourself warm by the fire and then when it gradually went
26:28out you could go away and do all the chores and of course the work did build up until the
26:33log had
26:34burned because it was such a big yule log and all the duties that had piled up had to be
26:37done
26:38so it really was a log at the back deep in the french countryside you know the small farmers will
26:45keep
26:46a fire burning all year round will never go out which is rather a charming thing yeah i think if
26:52it
26:52goes out there's bad luck and all sorts of terrible things now then 64 to matt's 46 matt you're back
