00:22Thank you very much.
00:31Good afternoon and welcome to the Countdown Studio on the Reptile Awareness Day.
00:37A day when lovers of these magnificent creatures can celebrate, share their knowledge and indeed raise awareness about them.
00:44Turtles, snakes, alligators, lizards.
00:47I've never owned a snake, but I did once know a woman who lived in Paris and she had, although
00:54I never saw it, a boa constrictor living in the apartment.
00:58And it used to live among the central heating pipes underneath the floor.
01:02And she never quite knew where it was, except sometimes she would come home and realise that she hadn't fed
01:08it recently because it had tossed a sofa across the room.
01:13This was a big boy.
01:15So there you are.
01:17So I suppose the lesson there is feed your snake.
01:22We don't have to.
01:23What about you?
01:24Now you and your family are animal lovers by excellence, sans paris they say, but your brother is particularly keen
01:30on reptiles.
01:31Yeah, he's been volunteering at the Dangerous Wild Animal Rescue Facility, Dwarf, since he was a teenager.
01:36And it's amazing the amount of boas, particularly seeing as they're so big, that do escape.
01:41Most of the time, I mean, they're absolutely harmless.
01:43You just need to call a number, someone will come along, take it off and hopefully rehome it.
01:48But don't hurt them, they're not going to hurt you.
01:50They're more scared of you than you are of them most of the time.
01:52All right, thank you, Rachel.
01:54Now we have two new contestants because, as you know, Andrew became an octo-champer yesterday.
01:59And so we welcome today Dave Chapman, a retired police constable, former member of the British Army from Doncaster.
02:06Loves his walking and his gardening.
02:08And you once apparently had to run from Mount Olympus to Curium Beach in Cyprus in a day.
02:14Somebody after you.
02:15No, no, we did it as a unit from the senior command team, right down to the privates.
02:23How far was it?
02:2432 miles.
02:25In the heat?
02:26Yeah.
02:26Quite tough.
02:27Well, you're very welcome, Dave.
02:28Very welcome.
02:29And you're joined by Elish Mistry, a strategic finance manager, originally from Leicester, now living in London.
02:36And fascinating that you told me beforehand that you're attempting to see every painting on the 1001 paintings to see
02:43before you die,
02:44which is presumably a book of some sort.
02:46Yes, I received it as a secret Santa present a few years back.
02:49And so I've just been trying to work through the list.
02:52Fascinating.
02:53And how far have you got?
02:54About a couple hundred.
02:55That's not bad.
02:56And have you travelled to many countries?
02:58Recently had a two-week trip to New York, which helped me tick quite a few off the list there.
03:03Wonderful.
03:04Paris, Rome.
03:05Well, wonderful thing to do.
03:07Big round of applause then for Elish and Dave Chapman.
03:14And over in the corner, of course, Susie.
03:16And for the first time, a joyous occasion, because we want to welcome to the dictionary corner none other than
03:23Joe Lycett.
03:24Hello.
03:24He's an old favourite on 8 out of 10 cats, of course, and on the comedy circuit, whose book, Parsnips
03:31Buttered, was out yesterday.
03:33We hope it's a great success for you.
03:35Bless you.
03:36All right.
03:36We'll hear from you later on, but now we turn to you, Dave Chapman, for a letters game.
03:41Vowel, please, Rachel.
03:43Thank you, Dave.

04:56Entitled.
04:57Yes.
04:57What is this metal?
04:58Excellent.
04:59Well, you just talk about being on your metal, don't you?
05:02It's a person's ability to cope well with difficulties.
05:04So, to have resilience is to have metal.
05:07Yep.
05:07What else have we got?
05:08In the corner.
05:09There's a seven.
05:11Mittled.
05:12To mittel is to hurt or mutilate.
05:16Yes.
05:17So, mittled is, yeah.
05:19Mittle.
05:20Yeah, dialect word.
05:21It's actually Scottish, I think.
05:22Scottish version of mutilate.
05:23Yeah, in dialect.

05:26Well done.

13:38Well done.
13:39858, but not 859.
13:42Rachel, possible?
13:44Yes, it was.
13:45If you find the 17 with 25 minus 8,
13:48and then you can times that by 50 for 850,
13:52and then you've got the 10 to add on,
13:54and 7 minus 6 for 1 to take away.
13:56859.
13:57Well done.
14:00Well done.
14:01So, Dave's, 29K's, Elish's, 42.
14:05Well done.
14:06As we turn to Joe.
14:08Joe, what have you been up to recently?
14:11Well, amongst all sorts of things,
14:13I've been complaining to my local supermarket about their avocados.
14:17As you do.
14:19So, I'll just read you the letter I sent to my supermarket.
14:22I wrote,
14:23Hello.
14:25Hello.
14:26I am writing to you to offer my services in regard to your perfectly ripe avocados.
14:32I would like to dispute your definition of perfectly ripe.
14:35I think you have mistaken the word perfectly for the word not.
14:40If this is in fact the correct definition, I apologise,
14:43and I am perfectly a virgin.
14:46I have generously taken time out of my busy day of not eating avocados
14:50to compile a list of the things you may suggest to your customers they use them for
14:54instead of a delicious accompaniment to a salad or crushed and spread onto bread.
14:57One, paperweight.
15:00Two, as a replacement hammer.
15:03Three, refined to a point and placed at the end of a spear.
15:08Four, inserted into a catapult to demonstrate medieval warfare.
15:13Five, used alongside a thick ceramic bowl as a makeshift pestle and mortar.
15:19Four, and finally placed into the pockets of canal boat dwellers you wish to drown.
15:25Should you wish, I am happy to dwell next to your avocados
15:28and explain the options to passing customers with a small fee of £10,000.
15:31Please let me know how you'd like to proceed.
15:33Many thanks, Joe Lassett.
15:34Now, it's a posh supermarket that is near me.
15:37I can't say the brand name of it for legal reasons.
15:40And I put at the end,
15:41P.S. your name for spring onions is salad onions.
15:45Why?
15:46Literally no one calls them this.
15:47Anyway, I found them for a pound cheaper in a different store
15:50and it gave me a real salad in my step.
15:58Well done.
15:59So, Elish on 42, Dave on 29.
16:02And now, Dave, it's your letters game.
16:04Revelle, please, Rachel.
16:05Thank you, Dave.
16:06O.

17:17Fasting.
17:18And Elish?
17:19You're both fasting.
17:22Very good.
17:22Anybody else fasting?
17:24There's just another seven posting.
17:26I wrote down pigs because I want to get a pet pig.
17:31Why?
17:32Just think it'd be hilarious.
17:34Just wander around with a pig on a leash.
17:36They're very hot, you know, to hold.
17:41I was not expecting that.
17:42No, if you cuddle a pig, really hot.
17:45Oh.
17:45You want a little pot-bellied pig?
17:47I don't know.
17:48English pig or a little...
17:50Well, they say you can get micro-pigs, but apparently that's not a thing.
17:54That's just a child pig.
17:56And people buy them to have in their flats, and they become giant pigs.
18:00But you have to have a license.
18:01I've researched all of this.
18:03You have to have a license to get a pet pig.
18:04What?
18:05I don't...
18:05Just to check that you're all right to have a pig.
18:07I don't know.
18:08But I like the idea of a little picture of the pig in the license.
18:11I don't know.
18:11It's just I want...
18:12I want a pig.
18:12Nick has been crossed off the list because he's been too much cuddling of them.
18:15Yeah.
18:16What do you do?
18:17You pick them up and you give them a cuddle, don't you?
18:1949 plays 36, and it's Elish's letters game.

25:38Can we match or beat it?
25:40Yes, there is a seven. Demonic.
25:43All right.
25:44As of the devil.
25:46As of the devil, yes.
25:47Yes, demonic influences this time.
25:49Anything else?
25:49Yeah, minst and novice were our sixes.
25:52Mm. 78 to 42.
25:56Susie, it's your wonderful origins of words.
26:00Thanks to John Hubbard, who emailed in and asked why we call a nap 40 winks.
26:05Why 40 and why winks?
26:07And also our wonderful floor manager, Jay, asked me about hood winks.
26:11So I'm going to try and answer both of those today.
26:15First of all, wink hasn't always been the one-eyed signal that we give today
26:20because the first meaning of the word, if you go back to the Anglo-Saxons and the Old English,
26:24was the closing of both eyes, either to blink or in slumber.
26:30And for Shakespeare, a wink was often the sleep of death.
26:34In the tempest, he says,
26:35to the perpetual wink for eye might put this ancient morsel.
26:39So today, when we talk about not having slept a wink or of taking a nap of 40 winks,
26:45we look back to that original sense of closing one's eyes in sleep or in rest.
26:50Why 40?
26:51That's probably because 40 was just chosen as a random but quite popular number
26:55in lots of different expressions and terms.
26:58So 40 legs was a popular name for the centipede, which I quite like.
27:03And 40 pence, if somebody was putting down a wager or a bet,
27:07that was the customary amount that they were put down.
27:09So I hope that answers John's question.
27:12But to hoodwink, to go back to Jay's question here,
27:15to hoodwink was originally to place a hood over someone's eyes,
27:19either prior to execution or in readiness to attack them or to rob them in some way.
27:25So it was closing their eyes quite brutally as well as figuratively.
27:30And, of course, the figurative sense is the one that we have today.
27:32You're hoodwinking somebody.
27:33You're literally putting something over their eyes
27:35so that they can't see what you're up to.
27:36So there we go.
27:3740 winks, something one might all like to do this afternoon.
27:41But 40 being a slightly random number, but the wink is closing both eyes.
27:46Fantastic.
27:51Brilliant, as always.
27:52So Elish on 78 and Dave on 42.
