CAJEPUT is an aromatic oil similar to eucalyptus oil, also an Australasian tree related to the bottlebrushes, yielding that oil.Ryan Taylor wrote:CAJEPUT?Chris Philpot wrote:Would you be able to confirm whether or not CAPEJUT was available in the NODE?

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.Ryan Taylor wrote:CAJEPUT?Chris Philpot wrote:Would you be able to confirm whether or not CAPEJUT was available in the NODE?

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.Lesley Hines wrote:I'm a recap n00bie but a pretty quick typist - give me a shout if I can help

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.James Robinson wrote:I believe that's this one, but I'll make it better, if necessary.

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.Charlie Reams wrote: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.
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.James Robinson wrote: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.

Series 45 and 46 scanned and hopefully uploaded within the next 48 hours.Howard Somerset wrote:Or maybe the next batch will have been scanned by then.

I'm not entirely sure that Dickens used the emoticon.James Robinson wrote:As a certain Mr. Twist once said, "Please, sir can I have some more "
He probably put his comma in a different place, too.Matt Morrison wrote:I'm not entirely sure that Dickens used the emoticon.James Robinson wrote:As a certain Mr. Twist once said, "Please, sir can I have some more "
In that case, Dickens must've had an off-day when he wrote Oliver Twist.Howard Somerset wrote:He probably put his comma in a different place, too.Matt Morrison wrote:I'm not entirely sure that Dickens used the emoticon.James Robinson wrote:As a certain Mr. Twist once said, "Please, sir can I have some more "
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.James Robinson wrote:In that case, Dickens must've had an off-day when he wrote Oliver Twist.

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.Lesley Hines wrote:(And the recapper - great tool! )
