Hello there, and welcome to my userpage. My name is '''[[Chris Philpot]]''', and I'm a former [[contestant]] who appeared in [[Series 51]], losing in [[Episode 3636|my only game]] to [[Ariane Sherine]]. I was told about [[c4countdown]] shortly after appearing and I've been a contributor to the online scene ever since, invariably under the handle of either ''Crispy'' or ''CountdownCrispy''. I'm also a fairly inactive [[wikipedia:User:CountdownCrispy|Wikipedian]]; my userpage there offers additional information about me and my life, if you are feeling particularly stalkerish.
 
  
As with much of the [[:Category:Online community|online Countdown community]], my contributions to the wiki are very much "on/off", with spurts of activity interrupted by long spells of apathy.

Hello there, and welcome to my userpage. My name is '''[[Chris Philpot]]''', and I'm a former [[contestant]] who appeared in [[Series 51]], losing in [[Episode 3636|my only game]] to [[Ariane Sherine]]. I was told about [[c4countdown]] shortly after appearing and I've been a contributor to the online scene ever since, often under the nominatively derived handle of ''Crispy'' or ''CountdownCrispy''.

If you would like to help contribute to the main page, I'd love to hear from you!
During my present spell of activity on the wiki I am proofreading many of the recaps for games which I have accumulated on DVD and Sky+, as well as many others, as a member of the [[Countdown:recap checking project|recap checking project]]. If you are also a member of the project, you may wish to view my [[User:Crispy/Recap checking cheat sheet|cheat sheet]], which contains lots of useful and/or frequently required snippets of wiki markup to greatly speed up the checking process.
 
 
 
Additionally, between [[Episode 4851|the 1<sup>st</sup> of July, 2009]] and [[Episode 4886|the 16<sup>th</sup> of September, 2009]] I was principal recapper for episodes of [[Countdown]] broadcast on Wednesdays; I am now more of a relief recapper for those Wednesdays when I don't have lectures. If you'd like clarification on anything I've done on a recent recap, or indeed on any older recaps from my short time in charge of the (equally short) run of Saturday editions of the show during [[Series 54]], please get in touch via [[User_talk:Crispy|my talk page]].
 
 
 
===Other contributions===
 
 
 
I'm also doing quite a few other little odds and sods along my way. I've vainly beefed up my contestant article, but also altered many other pages on the Wiki to bring them up to scratch. Notable contributions of mine are:
 
 
 
* [[Chris Philpot]]
 
* [[Jon Stitcher]]
 
* [[Series 60]]
 
* [[Cifras y Letras]]
 
* [[Countdown: About]]

Furthermore, I am a keen Photoshopper and so am happy to perform any image related tasks that might well arise when running a Wiki such as this one. So far all I've done is adjust a smattering of screengrab aspect ratios, but I am up for being involved in larger graphical projects. Your best bet for a swift response on this or any other task is to drop me a line on [[User_talk:Crispy|my talk page]], or alternatively to send me a private message me on [[c4countdown|c4c]].

Welcome to Crispy's user page
Chris Philpot cue-card.jpg

Hello there, and welcome to my userpage. My name is Chris Philpot, and I'm a former contestant who appeared in Series 51, losing in my only game to Ariane Sherine. I was told about c4countdown shortly after appearing and I've been a contributor to the online scene ever since, often under the nominatively derived handle of Crispy or CountdownCrispy. Charlie Reams made me an administrator of this wiki on 2 October 2009, and since then I have tended to take responsibility for the featured articles and "Did you know…" section on the Main Page. If you would like to help contribute to the main page, I'd love to hear from you!

I am an experienced user of Adobe Photoshop, and am happy to perform any image-related tasks that arise on the wiki. Just drop me a line on my talk page or send me a private message me on c4c.

Finally, I'm also a fairly inactive Wikipedian. My user page over there offers additional information about me and my life, if you happen to be feeling particularly stalkerish today.
