00:00Thank you
00:30Good afternoon and welcome to the Countdown Studio.
00:34Now, we are, as is well known, a nation of animal lovers,
00:38and perhaps we sometimes overindulge them,
00:40but not to the degree that a Saudi prince was recently revealed.
00:46He was a big bird fancier.
00:49In fact, he was a hunter with his falcons.
00:52And there were competitions, and they would go hunting all over the Arabian Peninsula.
00:56And rather than have the birds fly there all on their own,
00:59he used to buy them their own tickets.
01:01And there was a picture in the paper recently, I don't know whether you saw it,
01:03but he had 80 of his birds on some airliner, all with their hoods on and with cloths on the seats.
01:08He had bought each one of his 80 birds a ticket to fly.
01:12Fantastic. Such a cost.
01:14Can you imagine 80 birds sitting on their little seats with their hoods on?
01:18Extraordinary.
01:20But there we are, very highly prized, of course.
01:22And the Saudi prince, who's got the best hunting bird, of course,
01:25is revered as being, you know, top dog, top bird, as it were.
01:30I thought, do we indulge our animals at home?
01:32And the answer to that is absolutely not.
01:34Yes.
01:35At such an extent that they then take to indulging us.
01:38And I've got a cat, or we've got a cat, called Ada.
01:41She's white, with a sort of black face and a black tail.
01:44And she has taken now, when I'm at home, sitting at my desk,
01:48to very gently, clambering on the desk, picking her way through the debris on my desk,
01:54and sitting in a box, a little sort of casket there that's right in front of me,
01:59with her chin on the edge, looking at me.
02:02And you'll see the picture on the screen in a second.
02:03But adorable.
02:05But you, I think, do indulge your cats a little bit more than I do.
02:10Hilarious cats, aren't they?
02:11Whatever you buy for them, however elaborate and comfy and warm you think it is,
02:16they'll go and sit in the box.
02:17They'll go and sit on the piece of plastic, or the thing that you're reading, or your laptop.
02:22They're ridiculous.
02:23And because there's a baby around my house, my mum's house now, where the cats live,
02:27the cats go into the baby stuff, and the baby's really interested in the cat stuff.
02:31They've just done a complete U-turn.
02:33And funny, very funny, lovely stuff.
02:35All right.
02:36Now, Rachel, we have a young man here, a maths tutor from Lim in Cheshire, Stephen Reed.
02:43You won your first game on Friday, and you've had a restful weekend.
02:46And here you are, glad to see you back.
02:48And I hope you have a good day today.
02:50But first of all, you've got to get past Jake Denny,
02:52a freelance production assistant from Yeovil,
02:55who once shared the stage with Leslie Garrett,
02:58who actually has been a guest of ours here in Cheshire Corner.
03:01Yeah, what happened there?
03:02Well, she was doing a performance with a concert pianist,
03:05and I was page-turning.
03:06And, yeah, despite being known as a diva,
03:09she made the audience say, give a round of applause for the concert pianist,
03:12and a round of applause for our page-turner, Jake.
03:14And I got a round of applause.
03:15Good for you.
03:16From the audience.
03:16So, there we are.
03:17She's a nice woman, actually.
03:17She's very lovely.
03:18Yeah.
03:18Yeah, lovely woman.
03:19Good.
03:19Let's have a big round of applause for Jake and Stephen.
03:27And Susie, of course, is over in the corner,
03:31joined once again by that guest with a great sporting knowledge,
03:35none other, of course, than John Inverdale.

06:23Stephen.
06:24I'll stick with six.
06:26Your six?
06:27Shaker.
06:28Shaker and Jake.
06:29Harkers.
06:31Oh, Jake, I looked that one up myself and it's not there, I'm afraid.
06:35I'm sorry.
06:37Bad luck.
06:38Bad luck.
06:38John.
06:39That was a good punt, actually.
06:40It was.
06:41I can see you thinking that.
06:42No, we can't improve on six.
06:44All right.
06:4511 plays Jake.
06:47Five, and it's Stephen's numbers game.
06:49Here we go, Stephen.
06:50Two large, please, Rachel.
06:51Thank you, Stephen.
06:52Two from the top and four little.
06:54And the first numbers game of the week is one, four, ten, nine.
07:00And the large one's 50 and 75.
07:04And the target, 438.
07:06Four, three, eight.
07:19Four, three, nine.
07:34Four, three, nine.
07:36Four, three, nine.
07:41One away.
07:42Jake?
07:42Uh, four, three, five.
07:44Let's try Stephen first, shall we, Stephen?
07:46Uh, 50 times nine.
07:4850 times nine, 450.
07:50Minus ten, minus one.
07:51Yep.
07:52One away.
07:52Four, three, nine.
07:53Yep.
07:54Near, but not quite perfect.
07:55Four, three, eight.
07:55Rachel, can you manage it?
07:57Um, yes.
07:58If you say 50 times 10 is 500.
08:02And then add the nine and the four for 513 and take away the 75.
08:07Smashing.
08:11Well done.
08:13So, Stephen on 18, Jake on 5 as we turn to our first tea time teaser, which is Angry Bird.
08:20And the clue, when you're on your travels, this is definitely something to avoid.
08:24When you're on your travels, this is definitely something to avoid.
08:28Welcome back.
08:45Welcome back.
08:46I left you the clue, when you're on your travels, this is definitely something to avoid.
08:51You should avoid brigandry.
08:55The act of being a brigand, presumably, is it?
08:57Yes.
08:57It's similar to banditry, really.
09:00A brigand is a member of a gang that ambushes and robs people in forests and mountains.
09:05So, 18, please.
09:06Five, Jake on 5.
09:08And it's Jake's letters game.
09:10So, a consonant, please, Rachel.

09:32And another.
09:34I.
09:36Consonant, please.
09:38D.
09:40And another consonant, please.
09:42And lastly, chi.
09:46Stand by.

10:20Stephen Ham?
10:21I'll try a six.
10:23Jake.

10:25And doggy, with spell I-E.
10:27Yes, that's what you find.
10:29All these animals, what have we got, John?

11:50Unsized.
11:51And?
11:52Hansies?
11:54It's not with a Z, unfortunately.
11:56It's an S, so you need two S's for that, Jake.
11:59Sorry.
12:00Bad luck.
12:00John and Susie?
12:02Well, we weren't doing very well there, were we?

13:28steven i did three fours of twelve yep times seventy five for you nine hundred minus six
13:34perfect well done very good
13:37so 41 plays 21 jake on 21 as we turn to uh john what have you got for us today john i kind of feel
13:46i'm treading on on suzy's toes here a bit because um i'm going to talk about golf today we did
13:52athletics last week and cricket and cycling and the the derivations and the origins of
13:58certain sports because i'm sure most people in scotland think that that golf was invented there
14:03and it's it's the home of the sport and all that sort of stuff but actually it does seem if you
14:08look at the records that actually the sport was invented if you can call it that under the name
14:13of colf with a small c or a k in holland in the in the 13th century uh which it there's a lot of
14:20written about that in that fantastic book book dense modern tribes that is available in all
14:26remainder bins and uh and i actually got given for christmas and it's fun it's a fantastic book
14:31honestly it's susie's latest bestseller anyway but um it's interesting but and there are lots of
14:35analogies between cricket and golf because cricket was the subject of gambling in the 16th and 17th
14:41and 18th centuries and match fixing and all that sort of stuff and golf was actually banned in the
14:46low countries in belgium and holland and luxembourg because of all the gambling that went on then in the
14:5113th and 14th and 15th centuries they used to play with a sort of leather stick and and a ball and
14:58try and hit a target they weren't actually putting the ball in the hole in those days anyway bit by
15:02bit the sport evolves and i think it's pretty fair to say that the royal and ancient can justify the
15:06they claim to actually having created the game as we know it now i think the oldest golf course
15:11is in musselboro just outside edinburgh which dates back to 1672 but the colonial times meant that
15:17british sportsmen british travelers were suddenly opening up golf clubs in extraordinary places like
15:23sierra leone in 1770 in calcutta in 1829 mauritius in 1844 and so it went on and so went on although
15:30there was still a kind of an elitist element about the game of golf all the way through i think you
15:35could say until the late 50s early 60s when the advent of television and arnold palmer as well who was one
15:40of the sort of you could argue one of the real people in the vanguard of developing sport on the
15:45widest possible stage really changed the nature of of how golf was and made it a game for the
15:51people for all the people if you like and golf is now where it is you know in the sort of sporting
15:56landscape what i thought was fascinating though because the the dutch origins of golf which seem
16:00pretty irrefutable are actually referred to by j.i.r tolkien in the hobbit are you aware of this no
16:07there's a bit in there where he says actually he says the game of golf was invented when a club
16:11wielding hobbit kicked the head off a goblin called golfimbus and his head shot straight
16:18into a hole and there and that is how the game of golf was invented and i'm inclined to go along
16:22with that i think you're right perfectly reasonable to believe that i'll go along with that 41 plays

23:34Right.
23:36And it is...
23:38We're making these up today, actually, just so you know.
23:42It's all to do with heraldic crosses and crossbars and crutches,
23:46as far as I can make out.
23:47So it's a crutch, really, in illustrations of heraldry,
23:50or, indeed, on coats of arms.
23:52That's such a complicated business, that, isn't it?
23:54It certainly is.
23:55Yeah.
23:56But, yeah, potent and potency has special terms within heraldry.
23:59Indeed, yeah.

25:32Yeah.
25:33But you can't be a young fogey.
25:34Can you be a young fogey?
25:35Yeah.
25:35You probably can.
25:36It's just you're somebody who's very old-fashioned.
25:39Older than their years, really.
25:40Yeah.
25:4176 to 27.
25:43Susie, will you oblige us with your origins of words now?
25:45Uh, I, uh, will try.
25:49Um, when we are students, uh, we often talk about, um, being in digs somewhere.
25:54Digs being, of course, uh, accommodation.
25:56Student lodgings normally share, uh, with somebody else.
25:59And, uh, it sounds as though it sprang right out of the 60s.
26:03It sounds, for me, it goes along with groovy and that sort of fab, perhaps.
26:07But actually, it's a lot, lot older than that.
26:09Uh, it's short for diggings.
26:11In other words, the same, uh, idea.
26:14Originally a place where one digs.
26:15And if you look in the Oxford Dictionary, that goes all the way back to, uh, the 16th century.
26:20But the first diggings that concern us here, when it comes to accommodation,
26:23were in the gold fields of California and Australia,
26:28when diggings referred to the whole locality that was discovered in, uh, the gold rush, if you like.
26:33Particularly in the, um, 1820s.
26:36In the wilds of what was then frontier land in, uh, in Georgia.
26:40Uh, the word soon moved from the locality to the whole sort of towns and, uh, areas that sprang up, really,
26:47to, uh, service the mines and particularly to provide accommodation for the miners.
26:51Now, diggings might well have been slightly appropriate because, obviously, uh, this was land that had been previously unpopulated.
26:58And so they probably did have to actually, uh, dig out mud huts, uh, in order to stay there during the gold rush.
27:05Uh, whether or not that was the way that it happened, diggings, that was shortened to digs,
27:10began to emerge as a term for, uh, for accommodation.
27:14First for those miners that then went to the theatre, actually.
27:16Uh, so it was accommodation for actors and then into general student slang.
27:22Uh, where we still probably talk about digs when we talk about our accommodation.
27:26The Australian digger, by the way, for a friend or a chum, also goes back to the Australian, uh, gold mines.
27:31And in your digs, you might, if you'd been at Cambridge University, have entertained your cronies.
27:37Now, cronies, when it first appeared, had none of the shady overtones that we think of today.
27:42I think we had cronyism as a tea-time teaser quite recently.
27:44Uh, it simply meant your, uh, contemporaries, your, your long-standing friends.
27:50And indeed, it goes back to the Greek kronios, which meant long-lasting.
27:53It's linked to chronos, time, chronology, and indeed chronic.
27:57If you have chronic pain, it's long-lasting pain.
28:00Uh, and, um, this sort of political sense of cronyism, so the appointments of friends to, uh, authority with friendship,
28:07again, being the link there, um, only came in, uh, much, much later, in the 19th century.
28:12But crony simply meant chum, and chum is another word that's linked to accommodation,
28:16because it was originally your chambermate.
28:17It's a shortening of chambermate.
28:19Well done. Thank you. Thank you.
28:25Lovely stuff. Thank you, Susie.
28:27Now, 76 to 27, we turn to Jake.

29:59and I can't believe it's not in there.
30:01We came up with Doormat as a seven.
