3 THINGS.

1. Sorry for shit recap, got a bit behind with Countdown and need to catch up.
2. Can't submit it to the cdb; the page is just refreshing without inserting... may well be Google Chrome being rubbish.
3. Can someone else do this Thursday's recap please? I'm off for a stag weekend so it'll be late, and shit again.

Thank you!
