00:27APPLAUSE
00:31Well, good afternoon and welcome to the Countdown studio.
00:34Now, today will be a nervous day for many teenagers,
00:37but perhaps a happy day, I certainly hope so,
00:40because, Rachel, today is A-Level Results Day.
00:44And to all you teenagers out there feeling nervous and hopefully happy,
00:49let's hope that all your hard work has paid off
00:52and that the future looks exciting.
00:54Was I good at exams?
00:56I sort of cruised.
00:59Never glittering but never in danger, I took it easy.
01:03How about you? I think you were very competitive.
01:06I was good at exams, yeah.
01:08By the time I'd finished, I'd had seven straight years of exams
01:11and was ready for a long lie down in a dark room.
01:14It's stressful, isn't it?
01:16Especially for kids these days.
01:18I think the anxiety levels and everything you hear about, it's quite a lot.
01:22The pressure here is not always so easy either, is it?
01:25Adam, how do you feel? Are you under pressure?
01:27Two close games.
01:29I think you've played very well. You've been pretty relaxed.
01:33But let's see how you get on. You've had two good wins
01:35and now you're up against Jimmy Donnelly, an audit assistant from Glasgow.
01:39How are you feeling? Fine, fine.
01:41Do you play at home a lot? I do, yes, yes.
01:43Well, you just ignore the big clock behind you,
01:46ignore the lights, ignore the audience,
01:48think of it as being at home, all right?
01:51You've got two favourite memories,
01:53the birth of your daughters and watching Henrik Larsson play for Celtic,
01:57but you've got two daughters. They're not twins, are they?
01:59No, they're not twins. So that's three great memories.
02:01That's three great memories, yeah.
02:03So you're good at the sums then, clearly, on a current down.
02:06I won't commit myself to that.
02:09Listen, good luck to you. Have a lot of fun today.
02:11This is what this place is all about.
02:13It's fun, too, as well as being competitive.
02:15Good luck to you. A big round of applause for Adam and Jimmy.
02:18APPLAUSE

07:11Close, but not perfect.
07:13698.
07:15Rachel, what do you think?
07:17I think leave it with me, Nick.

07:53Welcome back, welcome back.
07:55I left with the clue, that journey across the M62
07:58was an absolute nightmare.
08:00In fact, it was murderous.
08:03It was murderous.
08:05698.
08:07Yes, I needed extra time in this exam,
08:09but you can say 6 times 4 is 24.
08:13Add it to 75 for 99.
08:16The other 6 plus 1 is 7.
08:18Times them together for 693 and add on the 5.

11:24Now, Jimmy.
11:26Oh...
11:28That is such bad luck.
11:30It is capitalised, as you would have wondered.
11:32I thought that, yeah.
11:34Yeah, I was just wondering if there might be some generic sense,
11:37but there doesn't seem to be.
11:39It's a great trial, wasn't it?
11:41Yeah, it really was. Really, really was.
11:43What else have we got? Susie? Julia?
11:45Well, it was a heroic effort from Jimmy.
11:47It was, yeah. Anything else, Susie?
11:49Yeah, heroic, homier.

13:33Ah, no, I've done it. Six times five, no.
13:36That's not what...
13:38555.
13:40Rachel, dig us out of here.
13:42Leave it with me, Nick.
13:44Certainly I will, certainly I will.
13:4633 plays 20 as we link to Julia.
13:49You're not going to get me to do the maths, are you?
13:51Don't worry.
13:53No, we're going to leave that to the expert over there.
13:55But you're going to tell us about the Outdoor Guide.
13:57You're a co-founder of this website, I think.
13:59Yes, I co-founded the Outdoor Guide, a website with my sister Gina,
14:02because I've made quite a few outdoor programmes
14:04and a lot of walking programmes,
14:06and I get asked all the time about routes that I've walked
14:09and favourite places and places that I've stayed
14:12and all of that sort of stuff.
14:14So it's just sort of a general hub of information
14:16about outdoor charities and events
14:18that are happening all across the country,
14:20and we're building a community of people
14:22who are all talking and sharing this info.
14:24And one of the most important sections for me
14:26is called Access TOG, Access the Outdoor Guide,
14:28because I'm a great believer in the mental health benefits
14:31of the great outdoors.
14:33But I also believe that people with mobility issues
14:36should be able to access as much green space as possible,
14:39and the rest of us.
14:41So we've got dog-friendly walks
14:43and we also have wheelchair-friendly walks.
14:45So if you have mobility issues and you're in a wheelchair,
14:47we've got a lot of routes.
14:49And we have an ambassador called Debbie,
14:51who's a wonderful, wonderful ambassador.
14:53She's in a wheelchair now, but she's still very, very keen
14:55on doing as much outdoor activity stuff as she can.
14:58And she uses quite a hefty-looking beast,
15:01an all-terrain vehicle.
15:03And these all-terrain vehicles, you just buy them off the shelf?
15:07You buy them off the shelf, you can rent them, you can hire them.
15:10There are all sorts of ways
15:12that you can get access to these vehicles,
15:15and they will allow you to get up to anything.
15:18And battery-powered, I guess, are they?
15:20Yes, battery-powered, electric and battery-powered.
15:22Good for you. Well done.
15:24APPLAUSE
15:26Very good.
15:28OK, that's wonderful stuff, the outdoor guide.
15:31But, Rachel, 5, 6, 1, have you cracked it?
15:33Eventually, yes.
15:35If you say 25 plus 8 is 33,
15:39and then 6 plus 6 plus 5 is 17,
15:4433, 17's a 5, 6, 1.
15:46Perfect. Thanks, Rachel.
15:48Never Fox. Sometimes momentarily Fox, but never Fox, really.
15:52It's a bit slow, Nick. I'm getting old.
15:54Don't talk about age around me.

17:16No.
17:17Nick, yeah, it's an archaic word,
17:19cos we don't really wear them any more, but it's breast pin.
17:22A small brooch or badge worn on the chest to fasten a garment.
17:25OK, a breast pin, yeah.

19:01They're peddlers.
19:03So people are peddling goods on the street.
19:05Oh, OK.
19:06It's a fairly derogatory term for them.
19:08It's a fairly derogatory term for them.
19:10And adipose is also there.

24:53Thank you, Ben, for writing.
24:55He says,
24:56My friend and I were discussing the dual usage of bottle.
24:59On the one hand, to have bottle means to have courage.
25:02On the other, to bottle it, or to be a bottler,
25:04means to crumble under pressure.
25:06So we were wondering which came first
25:08and why they're both so similar.
25:11It's a little bit murky, the history of this,
25:14but it has a lot to do with Cockney rhyming slang,
25:16which means it's always quite fun to investigate.
25:19But we have to start with 19th-century slang and no bottle.
25:22If you had no bottle around that time,
25:24it meant that you were completely useless.
25:27And if something had no bottle, similarly, it had absolutely no value.
25:31So if you look in the OED,
25:33there's a greatly titled work called The Swell's Night Guide from 1846.
25:39She thought it would be no bottle
25:41because her rival could go in a buster.
25:43In other words, she thought it was no use
25:45doing whatever it was that she was planning.
25:47And then around the 1920s, we had no bottle and glass,
25:51so a little bit of an add-on there.
25:53So that was rhyming slang, meaning that a person lacked class.
25:56So if you had no bottle and glass, you were just a bit of a pleb, in other words.
26:00So it was a bit of a criticism.
26:02You were without style.
26:04And then that seemed to take on the meaning of having very little courage.
26:08And we think that's because another rhyming slang expression,
26:11bottle and glass, was used to mean arse.
26:15So, yeah, no bottle and glass, arse.
26:17And there seems to have been a suggestion that if your bottle had fallen out,
26:21literally your bowels had fallen out or your guts had fallen out.
26:24Sorry about that. It was all figurative, obviously.
26:28Which suggests that bottle in such forms literally meant guts,
26:32if you think about it in those terms.
26:34And so to have no bottle or to bottle it
26:37simply meant have you lost your guts
26:39in the face of maybe bowel-melting threats.
26:43Similarly, to bottle it, to have no bottle,
26:45they were all linked into this idea of having no courage,
26:48whereas bottle on its own meant simply valour or spirit.
26:52I'll finish with something a little bit more pleasant,
26:54and that's another word for guts, which is metal, M-E-T-T-L-E.
26:57That's simply a re-spelling of metal with the ordinary standard spelling.
27:02And both meant physical material, but also a certain sort of quality,
27:05a certain bit of spirit, originally applied to horses.
27:08But eventually, by the mid-18th century,
27:11metal became restricted to the figurative sense
27:14and metal became restricted to the material.
27:17But all of this is all about guts, essentially, and physical courage.
27:22Show us your metal.
27:2866-53, Jimmy, your letters game.

27:33Thank you, Jimmy. S

28:49Yes. Pastis, we had over here as well.
28:52Pastis are aniseed-flavoured aperitifs, essentially.
28:56The plural's the same.
28:58Sit-up.
29:00I don't think sit-ups are in there as one word.
29:03No, they're hyphenated, I'm afraid. I'm sorry, Jimmy.
29:06Bad luck. Now, Julia and Susie.

30:39Julia?
30:40It's another seven.
30:41Yes.
30:42There's a little runt in there as well, but that doesn't count.
30:45I just like the word.
30:47If you wanted to use the Z, you'd have a zander,
30:50the freshwater perch.
30:52But, yeah, nature does that best, the seven.
30:54Very good.
30:5579 plays 60. Adam on 79.

31:40MUSIC
31:53Well, Jimmy?
31:55934.
31:57Adam?
31:58936.
32:00Jimmy?
32:02Five times nine is 45.
32:04Yes.
32:06Times the two...
32:08Six times five... No, I've used the two twice.
32:11You've used the five... No, no.
32:13Sorry, Jimmy. Adam?
32:15Nine times five, 45.
32:17Nine times five, 45.

32:29Six away.
32:30Six away.
32:31Long way.
32:32Rachel, 930?
32:34Yes, if you say six minus two is four,
32:38times ten is 40,
32:40minus nine is 31,
32:42and then the other six times five is 30,
32:45and 31 times 30 is 930.
32:48Fabulous.
