he’s won 5 Marconi awards, not sure that that qualifies as ‘umpteenth’ times.

"Umpteen" is a number that lies between 0 and infinity........hope that helps....:)

Wikipedia . . .

“Umpteen is a term for an unspecified but reasonably large number, used in a humorous fashion or to imply that it is not worth the effort to pin down the actual figure.”

Sorry, but 5 is not ‘reasonably large’. ;-)
