00:31Well, good afternoon. Welcome to the Countdown Studio. Here's a tricky question.
00:35How much do you charge the boomerang kids? The boomerang kids, of course, being those that go home, come back
00:42home to live with mum and dad after college or whatever in their 20s, early 30s.
00:48It's a very big issue because the number of boomerang kids, of course, is growing. In fact, it's increased by
00:5526 percent between 98 and 2017.
00:59Why not? Because, I mean, the price of housing is so exorbitant. Some people simply can't lay their hands on
01:06that huge deposit.
01:08So they go and live with mum and dad, but they've got to pay, you know. Mum and dad have
01:12already brought them up, so they've got to contribute.
01:15But there's an app, an online app, apparently. Depends on where you live that you can actually put your address
01:20in.
01:21They'll tell you how much you're going to have to pay. Guess what? Edinburgh is the most expensive city.
01:26Would you prefer to have a stab at the price in Edinburgh per month? How much?
01:31600 quid. Wrong. It's, in fact, surprisingly, just under 900 a month.
01:37Wow.
01:38I know. I know. But what you've got to do, therefore, is to persuade your parents to move to Leeds,
01:44which is much, much cheaper.
01:46In fact, it's only £491.57 in Leeds. There we are.
01:51Now, then, let's turn to our Irish contingent over here in the competitor's corner here.
01:58Piers Walsh is back, account manager from Ranler in Dublin, who got his teapot yesterday.
02:04Very happy.
02:04Good win.
02:05Yeah, thank you.
02:05That was a good win. And you're joined by a fellow countrywoman, Phil O'Reilly from Kilkenny, retired administrator, who
02:13loves her bridge.
02:15And, in fact, you play with the 350 Club and also the Roath Bridge Club.
02:20That's right, Nick. Yes, I do.
02:21Excellent. Well, you're very welcome, both of you, to have crossed the Irish seat to be with us.
02:26And good luck to you both. Big round of applause, then, for Piers and Phil.
02:33And over in the corner, Susie, of course, and joined once again by the wonderful Jeremy Thompson, a man with
02:39something like 42 years as a TV journalist.
02:44Amazing career.
02:45And 50 altogether, including starting out as a kid in newspapers.
02:49So, yeah.
02:50Look at you.
02:50Enough. Enough writing, enough stories.
02:52You look 42. Now then, Piers, let's have a letters game.

04:18Thanks for that.
04:19And in the corner there, Jeremy, Susie?
04:21Well, haircuts.
04:22I started out with hairdo, which was nice,
04:24and then I dabbled with haircut and got haricot.
04:28So, as in beans.
04:30As in beans, yeah.
04:31Beans.
04:32Yeah.

06:03Very good.
06:04And the corner?
06:05I've got six in sevens, but no eight.
06:09There is no, they're a fireboat.
06:11I hear about fireboats too often,
06:12but they're boats carrying firefighters and equipment
06:14for fires on board ships or waterside areas.
06:17Yeah, indeed, yeah.
06:21A fireboat.
06:24Fourteen plays seven.
06:25Phil in charge at the moment.
06:27And now, Pierce, it's your numbers game.
06:28Off we go.

07:36There we are.
07:37Now, ratio, 449.
07:40Well, if instead you say 8 divided by 4 is 2 times 3 for the 6,
07:45you can times that by 75 for 450 with your one left over for 449.
07:51Excellent.
07:55So, Piers has drawn level.
07:5814 apiece as we turn to our first tea time teaser,
08:00which is Din Diesel and the clue.
08:02He had an injury and wasn't able to take part for a couple of weeks.

08:26Welcome back.
08:27I left you with the clue.
08:28He had an injury and wasn't able to take part for a couple of weeks.
08:31He was, in fact, sidelined.

13:18And 584.
13:19Yes, sir.
13:204 times 3 is 12.
13:22Yeah.
13:23Times 50 is 600.
13:24600.
13:258 times 2 is 16.
13:27It is indeed.
13:28Take it away.
13:28Well done.
13:29584.
13:35Up to 38 to Phil's 20 as we turn to Jeremy.
13:42A coup d'etat is a rare enough thing for most of us to even read about.
13:46But you always seem to arrive just as they were happening.
13:49Quite a few.
13:51It's strange how stories come in spates.
13:53And there was a period when I was based out in Asia where there seemed to be a real run
13:57of coup d'etats.
13:58See, do I end up covering them every month?
14:00And particularly the Philippines, which during that period, do you remember Imelda Marcos, the president's wife with all the shoes?
14:07Well, when her husband, Ferdinand Marcos, was in power and then Corey Aquino after that, there were endless ruptures between
14:14the armed forces.
14:15So I seem to be going backwards and forwards from Hong Kong all the time to Manila to cover coup
14:19d'etats.
14:20And they were like no other place.
14:22They were almost sort of comedy epics, really.
14:25It was invariably a rebel faction within the army who'd break away and had a dispute over something, politics or
14:32lack of money or, you know, pay or shortage of bullets.
14:37And would then set themselves up in an army camp and have shoot-em-ups with the main bulk of
14:43the army.
14:44But it was more like it became a sort of sport for the Filipinos.
14:48And they'd all turn out.
14:49It'd be like a football match.
14:50They'd lie in the sides.
14:51And you'd see bullets whistling backs and forwards with people down there sort of watching rather like a Wimbledon final,
14:57watching the two sides shooting each other.
14:59And then vendors would turn up with soft drinks and snacks and cigarettes to sell them.
15:05It was like nothing else I'd ever seen.
15:08And the end of them usually, they usually fizzled out into very little.
15:12And there was one particular guy I met who was called, went by the wonderful name of Colonel Gringo Hernassan,
15:18who ran several of these coups.
15:20And seemed to end up doing no more than, the first punishment was him and his men had to do
15:25100 push-ups in public.
15:27And the next time he was banished to live under house arrest on a luxury yacht on Manila Harbour.
15:33Anyway, I met the guy, he was a fascinating bloke.
15:35And he gave me one of his caps, which was one of those sort of American-style marine hats, black
15:40with lots of scrambled eggs on and his name Gringo at the back.
15:44So I stuck it in my bag and a couple of months later ended up in Fiji, where they were
15:49having a run of coups as well.
15:50And the main thing was to try and track down the leader of that particular coup, who also turned out
15:56to be a colonel, a colonel Sidibendi Rambuka.
16:00And he was very elusive and I needed to get an interview with him.
16:03Eventually I figured out that he was an ex-Fiji rugby prop forward and he had to be at the
16:09cup final on the far side of the island one Saturday.
16:12So I raced across there and there was Colonel Rambuka sitting in the stands applauding this rugby match.
16:18And I went up to him and he sort of brushed me aside.
16:21Then I thought, I'll get that.
16:22So I got Gringo's cap out of my bag and went, Colonel, this appears to be the year of the
16:29colonels.
16:29And I'm sure that Colonel Hanassan from the Philippines would love you to have this.
16:34And he beamed and he said, what a very good lad you are.
16:38You'd better have an interview.
16:39So I got my interview.
16:40Change things, coup d'etats.
16:4938 plays, 20.
16:50Pearce in the lead.
16:52And it's Pearce we turn to now for a letters game.

25:38What does Pearce say?
25:40Unwash.
25:42Unwash and Phil?
25:43Unwash.
25:44There we are. Let's compare notes.
25:47There we are. Have a very close look at that, Phil.
25:50And over in the corner?
25:52Well, I'm afraid it's not in, Nick.
25:54Unwashed is in there, but you can't unwash something directly.
25:59Sorry.
25:59What can we have?
26:01In-laws?
26:02I think that might be hyphenated.
26:06It is, unfortunately.
26:09We have unlash for six, to unfasten something tied in place with a cord or rope.
26:13That's as good as we could get.
26:16Anything else?
26:17No.
26:18Thank you. 58.39.
26:22Susie, it's time for your origins of words.
26:26What have you for us today?
26:27Well, I have to give a hat tip to the brilliant Mark Forsyth, who wrote one of the best-selling
26:32books from a few years ago called The Horologicon and The Etymologicon.
26:37Actually, two books.
26:38And so I have to thank him for reminding me of the history of the Romanese and the Romany language.
26:46They've actually given us quite a few words that have settled into English, chav being one of the best-known,
26:52completely innocent term in the Romany language.
26:55Bloke was another thing that we got from them.
26:57But the words that they use for themselves has nothing to do with Roman or Romance or Romania.
27:03Romany, it's not what you think, really.
27:06They've travelled around Europe for absolutely centuries.
27:09We probably knew them best by a term that's now considered to be quite derogatory, and that's gypsy.
27:16Now, gypsy was, first of all, a completely straightforward name because it was believed that these Romany people, these wanderers
27:22and nomads, came from Egypt.
27:24And for a while, gypsy and Egyptian were completely interchangeable.
27:27So Shakespearean Antony and Cleopatra refers to Cleopatra's gypsy lust because she was Egyptian.
27:35Anyway, they're not from Egypt.
27:36They're from India.
27:37And we know this because Roma actually comes from Rom, their word for a man, ultimately goes back to a
27:42word for a wandering musician.
27:44But what's strange is we had gypsies, but other cultures had other ideas as well.
27:48So the French thought they must come from Bohemia, which is now the Czech Republic.
27:52And so they called them Bohemians.
27:54And that is why, to this day, we call people who are fairly nomadic, socially unconventional or gloriously different, we
28:01call them Bohemian.
28:02They're sort of intricately linked to this story of the gypsies.
28:06Thanks.
28:08APPLAUSE
28:12Wonderful. Thanks, Susie.

31:00Stodgier.
31:01Excellent.
31:02Well done.
31:06Heavy hitting there.
31:08Excellent.
31:08And in the corner?
31:10Couldn't improve on stodgier.
31:12Can anybody, Susie?
31:13No, we had goitis otherwise with seven, but stodgier was best that we could do as well.
31:17Strong eight.
31:18Six to five to 47.
31:20And now it's Phil's numbers game.
31:23Okay.
31:24Try again.
31:24One from the top, one from the bottom, two from the left and two from the right.
31:28I'll just check though, because you are 18 behind, so you don't want to gamble to force
31:32the crucial conundrum.
31:34Do you want to stick with one large?
31:35Okay, we'll try two, two large and four small.
31:39Two large and four small.
31:41You're going for it, Phil.
31:42I'll try anyway.
31:43Let's see if we can force that crucial conundrum.
31:45I haven't done too well so far, but we'll see.
31:46We shall see.
31:47He who dares wins.
31:48The final numbers are one, four, six, and another one, and the large two, 75 and 100.
31:57Let's hope for a tricky-ish one.
31:59One hundred and forty-eight.
32:00One, four, eight.
32:02One hundred and forty-eight.
32:33Well, Phil?
32:34One, four, eight.
32:36And?
32:37One, four, eight.
32:38Yes.
32:39Phil?
32:40Okay, got a one plus one.
32:44One plus one is two.
32:46Multiplified by four.
32:47Is eight.
32:48Multiplified by six.
32:49Is your 48.
32:50Plus 100.
32:51Plus 100.
32:52You got it.
32:53And, Pierce?
32:54Same way.
32:56Well done.
33:00So, there we are.
33:0175 to 57.
33:05As we come into the final round.
33:07Fingers on buzzers.
33:09There we go.
33:10Let's roll today's countdown conundrum.
33:17Phil?
33:18Graceless.
33:20Let's see whether you're right.
33:21Oh, I do hope you are.
33:23And here it comes.
33:24Graceless.
33:31Well, Phil, a brave fight.
33:33A brave fight.
33:33And you got the conundrum.
33:35It is.
33:35That really helps things, doesn't it?
33:37It sort of makes the day.
33:38It certainly does.
33:39It certainly does.
33:40Well done on that.
33:4167 points against 75.
33:44Great score.
33:45There's a goodie bag for you.
33:46Lovely.
33:47And back to Kilkenny.
33:48And back to your beloved bridge clubs.
33:51I think you're secretary of the 350, aren't you?
33:53That's right, yes.
33:53Where you play with the Roath.
33:55Where you'll be able to tell all about your visitor countdown.
33:58We're delighted to have had you here.
34:00And we shall see this young man tomorrow.
34:03Well done.
34:03Yes.
34:03Well done, Piers.
34:05And over in the corner there, Jeremy, we'll see you tomorrow.
34:07Your last visit until we can get you back.
34:09But listen, more tomorrow.
34:11And Susie, too.
34:12See you tomorrow?
34:12Yes, see you then.
34:13And Rachel?
34:14Oh, I wish I could have picked Phil a slightly trickier maths game.
34:17Because that one second conundrum was brilliant.
34:19Excellent.
34:20See you tomorrow?
34:21See you tomorrow.
34:22Same time?
34:23Same place?
34:23You be sure of it.
34:24A very good afternoon to you all.
