00:03CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
00:31Good afternoon, good afternoon. Welcome to the Countdown studio.
00:34I happened to be browsing a newspaper the other day
00:37and I read about a cougar on the prowl in Los Angeles
00:41and I thought, well, what a surprise.
00:43I thought that the city of angels was simply full of cougars,
00:47elderly women looking for younger men.
00:49I suddenly realised actually it wasn't that sort of cougar,
00:52it was a mountain lion.
00:54And apparently, here we go, hidden cameras filmed the large cat
00:57roaming the Griffith Park area, with the Hollywood sign in the background.
01:02It's an area full of tourists and they even spotted on another camera
01:06this enormous animal sort of trotting down the freeway.
01:11And when I say enormous, I mean enormous.
01:13They're eight feet long.
01:15Eight feet long and just short of a metre at the shoulder.
01:19They are big and that's the biggest, I think the fourth largest cat in the world.
01:24So to find one of those cruising around your neighbourhood must be fairly scary.
01:28Have you come across something unusual in your back garden?
01:31Not personally, but my brother has always helped at Dwarf,
01:34a dangerous wild animal rescue facility.
01:36We had a snake loose in our house once and we didn't even know we had a snake.
01:39Oh, really?
01:40So my brother only told us three days later after he lost it.
01:43His snake?
01:44When he found it again, we didn't know he had one,
01:46but lucky the cat didn't find it or we didn't, you know...
01:48Was it poisonous or anything?
01:50No, no, it was a harmless little thing.
01:52If we'd have found it in the bathroom,
01:53if we'd have just found a random snake in the bathroom...
01:55It would give you a scare, wouldn't it?
01:56It would give you a bit of a scare, yes.
01:58Well, well.
01:59Now, who's up for scaring here?
02:01Andy Naylor scared Brett yesterday, after death actually,
02:04because he was such a good player.
02:06And you beat him 76 to 65.
02:08That was Brett Davids.
02:09And you're back with us again.
02:11We're pleased to see from Hendon, great cricketing man,
02:14and a white water rafter down the Zambezi.
02:17Was it a bumpy ride?
02:19Yes, a lot of adrenaline, and it was great capsizing the boat
02:22and getting in the river.
02:24It always looks very good.
02:26It always looks good and, you know,
02:28half the thing is submerged and all the time.
02:30Yeah, I don't fancy it.
02:31I'm not terribly good with water.
02:33You're joined by...
02:34Well, I have a shower every morning, obviously.
02:37You're joined by Douglas Horne,
02:39a customer assistant from Currie in Edinburgh.
02:42That's in the outskirts of Edinburgh, isn't it?
02:44Yeah, the outskirts of Edinburgh, yeah.
02:46The show you sat down was the first show that you ever watched.
02:49Yes.
02:50You sure you're not sucking up to us?
02:52No, I am not. That is true, ladies and gentlemen.
02:54Isn't that pretty? And you've watched it ever since?
02:56I've watched it ever since.
02:57We're expecting big things from you, Douglas Horne.
03:00We certainly are.
03:01Big round of applause then for Douglas and Andy.
03:07Brilliant stuff.
03:08And over in the corner, of course, Susie,

06:17All right, so we turn to the corner.
06:19Um, I'm going to have to say no to nauseast as well, Douglas,

06:47Of course. Thank you very much.
06:49Six all.
06:52Six all, and we turn to Andy for the first numbers game.

08:21If you add that together and multiply, you get pretty close.
08:24You do. 616, well done.
08:26APPLAUSE
08:29I sense just an anxious moment there from them with Andy.
08:33Very good indeed.

10:45Lovely. What do we think about Douglas?

11:07OK.

11:11I'd like you to do the 9.
11:13Yeah, it's a bit technical, this one.
11:15Interfuse is there, to join or mix two or more things together,

12:45Yes.
12:47We've got random. Yep. Ordain.
12:49Nimrod. Nimrod, yes.
12:51Yes. A skilful hunter.
12:53Or if you live in America, it can mean an inept person.
12:56So two very different things.
12:58Really? A nimrod? Yes.
13:00OK. And a 7? And a 7 is doorman.

14:11Eight times 100 is 800.
14:13Take away the two 7s.
14:16Very good. 785?
14:18Yep. You could have said 7 minus 6 is 1.
14:22100 less the 1 is 99.
14:25Times that by 8 for 792 and take away the other 7.
14:29785.
14:31Look at that. Wonderful.
14:37Wonderful.
14:3937 points to 6.
14:41Plenty of time, Douglas. Don't lose heart.
14:43Now we turn to Jonathan.
14:45Jonathan.
14:47I guess, you know, during your competing years,
14:50it was hard work but it was wonderful.
14:52You're a young man and it was great to travel the world.
14:55And you're still travelling the world these days in a bit more comfort, I guess.
14:59You don't have to get up at 3 in the morning and go training.
15:02But was it always so simple?
15:04It certainly wasn't, Nick.
15:06In fact, my career started, I think, quite unusually.
15:09I wasn't that good when I was younger.
15:11I went to schools when I was 18 but it wasn't with a particularly good distance.
15:14I went off to university and studied physics.
15:17And got to the end of my university career and thought,
15:19well, what am I going to do with my life?
15:21And my dad had always pushed me and said,
15:23you've got a talent, you should try and develop it.
15:25And I thought, well, if I don't try and be an athlete now, I never will do it.
15:28And this was a time when the sport was still amateur.
15:30You know, footballers were earning £100 a week.
15:32The world of sport was completely different.
15:34So I thought I'd move up to Newcastle and try and be an athlete.
15:37I didn't have a job.
15:39I initially didn't have anywhere to live.
15:41So I always remember my first day in Newcastle,
15:43signing on the Dole, going to get housing benefit.
15:46I was always speaking to somebody through a pane of glass.
15:48It was a thoroughly depressing day, a thoroughly depressing experience.
15:52And got back to my room that night.
15:54It was a spare room in a friend's house. It was a bachelor.
15:56I don't think there was even curtains on the windows.
15:58And there was unpacked boxes.
16:00And I cried my little heart out.
16:02It was horrible.
16:03And I started to search for jobs.
16:05So I went to Newcastle.
16:06The Evening Chronicle has a job section every Thursday.
16:09And I would write a whole heap of letters off to people,
16:11saying, look, I've got a degree, but would you accept me for this job?
16:14I know I'm overqualified, but I want to be an athlete.
16:16Didn't hear from any of them.
16:18And eventually got a job in a hospital as a cytogenetics officer
16:22doing chromosome analysis.
16:23Something I didn't really know anything about.
16:25But it gave me the chance to earn some money.
16:27Then I would train in the evening at Gateshead Stadium.
16:29And by this time I'd got a flat with somebody.
16:32One of the things I remember was we used to put £5 a week each
16:36into a Marmite jar.
16:38And this was for shared provisions, so milk, bread, butter, whatever else.
16:43And I didn't have a lot of money and I used to worry about money.
16:46And I took the £10 out that was in there for the week
16:49and went off to the corner shop.
16:51It was a really windy evening.
16:53And when I got to the shop, I went to pay and I'd lost the £10.
16:57And honestly, I was mortified.
17:00I was wandering the streets looking for this £10 note.
17:03I think it was autumn, it was windy.
17:05And I'm not kidding, this £10 note, it blew across my feet.
17:10No.
17:11Yes, it was.
17:12Somebody up there loved you.
17:13Well, at that point, yes.
17:14Great stuff.
17:15And if that £10 hadn't blown across your feet having lost it,
17:19your mate would have thrown you out and it would have been all a terrible story.
17:23Brilliant stuff.
17:24Anyway, you stuck at it.
17:26You triumphed in the end.
17:27Brilliant stuff.
17:28Well done, well done.
17:30Andy, are you going to triumph?
17:33Letters game.

20:16Pongiest?
20:17Pongiest.
20:19Pongiest?
20:20Pongiest.
20:21Very good.
20:22Penting as in penting up emotion.
20:25Just going to check.
20:26It doesn't sound quite right when you say it that way
20:28because you talk about pent up emotion, don't you?
20:31Yeah, it's not there as a verb, I'm afraid, Douglas.
20:34Just as in pent up, but not pent as a verb.
20:37Bad luck.
20:38Sorry.
20:39What are we doing now in the corner?
20:40Jonathan?
20:41We had Pongiest.

21:47100 minus 10 minus 6...
21:50100 minus 10 minus 6 is...
21:52..should be 84.

21:543 plus 2 is 5.
21:55Yeah.
21:56And multiply.
21:57Well done. 420.
21:58Very good indeed.
22:02Very good.
22:0362 plays 13 as we turn to a teatime teaser,
22:07which is Corn Tune.
22:10And the clue...
22:11Chopin earned his corn writing this sort of tune.
22:15Chopin earned his corn writing this sort of tune.
22:34Welcome back.
22:35I left you with the clue.
22:36Chopin earned his corn writing this sort of tune.
22:39What was he writing?
22:40He was writing nocturnes.
22:42Nocturnes.
22:44Soft night-time music?
22:46Yes.
22:47Where does it actually come from?
22:49It comes from the Latin, meaning of the night,
22:52and in art it is a picture of a night scene,
22:54but in music it's a short composition of a romantic nature,
22:58usually for piano.
22:59OK. You don't have to play it at night-time, though.
23:02But it's most effective if you're listening to it at night, I imagine.
23:05You're right.
23:06I see.
23:0762 to 13, Douglas on 13.
23:09Douglas, you're back on with a letters game.

25:59Is it related to a malingerer?

26:02Reeling, absolutely fine.
26:03You can do reeling from a shock.
26:06Can you be a lingerer?
26:09You can, Andy.
26:10Very well done.
26:11APPLAUSE
26:14Well done, Andy.
26:15And in the corner, Jonathan.
26:17We had another seven, a leering.
26:20But, no, we couldn't beat eight.
26:21No.
26:22All right. Anything else? No?
26:23No.
26:24That's it.
26:25Well done, Andy. 75 points. Good stuff.
26:27But now we turn to Susie.
26:28Susie.
26:29We sit at your knee, expectantly.
26:32Teach us something exciting.
26:34Well, I've been reading the Oxford Dictionary blog,
26:38which I can really recommend.
26:40It's free to go in and you can just read
26:42about recent changes to language
26:44or different things that take the editor's fancies.
26:47And this is about a word that is very close to your heart, Nick,
26:50and that's bro.
26:52Do you use it?
26:53Bro?
26:54Would you ever say, hey, bro, to anybody?
26:56I'll actually tell you I've never used that expression.
26:59Well, you might do now.
27:00It's just a good, even if you don't use it,
27:02it's a really good example of how language changes.
27:05Because it's become this word-forming dynamo
27:08in very recent years.
27:10To go back to the beginning, for most of its time in English,
27:13it led to very quiet and unassuming life.
27:16It was simply like sis.
27:18It was a shortening of brother and it would be used in that way.
27:21But in the 20th century, it began to take on a slightly different life
27:25and it began to mean a man, any man, like a fellow or a guy.
27:30And it also became common as a term of address, as in, hey, bro.
27:34But the reason I mention it is there is a new brocabulary, sorry,
27:38that's grown up around the word.
27:40So a brogrammer is a male computer programmer.
27:44It's not a particularly complimentary term.
27:47Nor is curlbro, which is a gym rat
27:49who focuses too much attention on his biceps.
27:52There's the brohug, which is a slightly awkward hug between bros.
27:57Or the brostep, which is dubstep for bros.
28:00And there's even been a new term we call blend,
28:03so putting words together, which is how a lot of new words are formed.
28:06We call them portmanteau words,
28:08and now they've been called portmund bros.
28:10It gets worse.
28:11There's brohemian and there's also bromance.
28:14And you might laugh about bromance, but it actually went into the OED a few years ago.
28:18It's an intimate friendship between young men,
28:21but of a completely non-sexual kind, so it's just a good friendship.
28:24And finally, there's the brobituary, which is a short... I love this one.
28:28It's a short description of an ex-bro who went off and got married.
28:32LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE
28:34How funny.
28:39How funny.
