Wanted: Awesome Dudes

[Chris Philpot]

Quite probably, Ryan! Apologies for miscopying it.

[Peter Mabey]

I've a NODE (reprinted 2001 with corrections) too, and am willing to help if required.

Would you be able to confirm whether or not CAPEJUT was available in the NODE? (And, if it is, what on earth does it mean?! ) Many thanks!

CAJEPUT?

CAJEPUT is an aromatic oil similar to eucalyptus oil, also an Australasian tree related to the bottlebrushes, yielding that oil.
Alternative spelling CAJUPUT: although the oil is described as a mass noun, presumably the tree is pluralizable.

CAJEPUT?

It's in the next edition under CAJUPUT (also CAJEPUT or CAJEPUT OIL) - an aromatic medicinal oil obtained from a tree. And it was in the Official Countdown Words book, which predates the NODE, which suggests it was in the NODE too, unless it fell out for an edition and then got put back in again.

[Chris Philpot]

That's good enough for me - thank you very much.

And well spotted again. It is genuinely brilliant to have someone who checks these things, thank you. Four to go!

[Chris Philpot]

I would be willing to recap a handful from Series 47. In the meantime, can someone please confirm whether or not SIMURGS was in the NODE, and if so what it means?

Brillo, thanks - the last of my series 48 recaps is now in the database.

[Lesley Hines]

I'm a recap n00bie but a pretty quick typist - give me a shout if I can help

I meant it, y'know, guv. Add me to the next list automatically if there's any more to do and mail 'em over to me. I'm not going on holiday till November so it'll save me from working.

Well remembered. But yes, the old one is a bit rubbish, including the wrong date and a missed numbers solution, so you may as well redo it.

[Andrew Feist]

If there's still any left, I can handle some.

[Howard Somerset]

It's looking good. Well done all.

If there happen to be any still not allocated by Tuesday, I'll have some then. Or maybe the next batch will have been scanned by then.

[JackHurst]

I dont have the foggiest on how to write a recap, But I'll read the guide at some point and then help with some of the remaining outstanding recaps. Ill be able to get started next week.

[Ben Wilson]

I'm going to be away now until Monday so if my absence holds things up any feel free to reassign my recaps. Will have three free days for recappy goodness when I get back though.

[Charlie Reams]

Series 48 is now completed! I can't tell you how satisfying it is to see that series in bold on the front page. Thanks everyone for your hard work.

Only 132 recaps until we have a complete record of the 15-round era, which has (tragically enough) been one of my life goals for years.

Strictly not true, as since you haven't started Series 63 on the database yet, the 19 recaps for this series aren't up yet. That is unless you've included the 19 in your 132.

Oh wow, people really need to prod me more often about these things. I know someone reminded me already but I can't be expected to take the 30 seconds required to add a new series. Anyway, it's up now. I'll upload the back log later today unless someone else can be bothered first.

[Mike Brown]

Or maybe the next batch will have been scanned by then.

Series 45 and 46 scanned and hopefully uploaded within the next 48 hours.

Amazing progress. By my reckoning, we have only 108 15-round recaps left before we have total coverage. The missing ones break down as follows:

Series 63: 2 (most recent Fridays, presumably in the pipeline)
Series 47: 47
Series 46: 59

Sorry, it's not always easy being this thick. That bit is actually very cunningly hidden by 14-point type and a helpful link.

As a certain Mr. Twist once said, "Please, sir can I have some more "

Next lot done. Request more please.

[Howard Somerset]

As a certain Mr. Twist once said, "Please, sir can I have some more "

I'm not entirely sure that Dickens used the emoticon.

He probably put his comma in a different place, too.

In that case, Dickens must've had an off-day when he wrote Oliver Twist.

[Mike Brown]

In that case, Dickens must've had an off-day when he wrote Oliver Twist.

Having done some googling, I was surprised to learn that the exact quote is "Please, Sir, I want some more". I agree with Howard's comment about dodgy comma usage, though.

Hmmm, must've been an odd time in the 19th Century. Oh well.

By the way, I'd like some more recaps, when you're ready, Charlie.

Good work everyone, six left over in Series 47 and we march bravely into Series 46.

I'm quite happy to do some more, but at the moment my machine's v poorly so I'm going to have to sort out this flippin' disc first.

Sorry to be stepping back when I had been so enthusiastic but the first lot was like pulling teeth. Once I'm back up and running smoothly again I'll do some more. Keep up the great work tho chaps! (And the recapper - great tool! )

[Charlie Reams]

(And the recapper - great tool! )

Thanks, I've always thought it was a great tool but in the past it was surprisingly difficult to get people to give it a go. I know it's not very aesthetically pleasing but it's reliable and does the job much better than the alternatives, such as they are.
