When it comes to weight loss, no two people are the same. That's why Noom builds personalized plans based on your unique psychology and biology. Take Brittany. After years of unsustainable diets, Noom helped her lose 20 pounds and keep it off. I was definitely in a yo-yo cycle for years of just losing weight, gaining weight. And it was exhausting. And Stephanie. She's a former D1 athlete who knew she couldn't out train her diet, and she lost 38 pounds. My relationship to food before Noom was never consistent. And Evan, he can't stand salads, but he still lost 50 pounds with Noom. I never really was a salad guy. That's just not who I am. Even through the pickiness, Noom taught me that building better habits builds a healthier lifestyle. I'm not doing this to get to a number. I'm doing this to feel better. Get your personalized plan today at Noom.com. Real Noom users compensated to provide their story. In four weeks, the typical Noom user can expect to lose one to two pounds per week. Individual results may vary. Let's talk about something that's not always top of mind, but still really important. Life insurance. Why? Because it offers financial protection for your loved ones, and can help them pay for things like a mortgage, credit card debt, it can even help fund an education. And guess what? Life insurance is probably a lot more affordable than you think. In fact, most people think life insurance is three times more expensive than it is.

Thank you, Sarah Smith, available from Sainsbury's, for the posh show washer. Proud sponsors of Dum T Dum. This is Dum T Dum this show about the reality of the drama that has centered an amorage in the heart of the Midlands. I am the long, slow screw against the wall that is Royfield Brown, and with me, I have the pint of stout with an umbrella that is Lucy Freeman, and the most important part of our cocktail, folks, is you. Today's rendition of Barret Green is brought to you by the old mucka pool room. Oh, yeah, he's done quite a few, I thought we'd uh, treasure one up with the old brother. Lucy, can you remind our listeners how that when the accolade of Dum de Dum of the week? Yes, if you... If they're so inclined to. If you want to sing us a Dum T Dum, please get in touch. Or give us your opinion on what is going on in amorage. Please get in touch via Speakpipe on the site, or ring 02030310105, thanks to Harriet at Chambridge for her amazing voices, and Sarah Smith, who are for sponsoring Dum T Dum. Thanks also to Derek for the loan-in-the-back bedroom, Derek is incredibly jolly this week as he has a girlfriend. He says, uh, he met her on the internet, and she's a lady from Vladivostok. She's called Milena, she's 21, and she's a launch-array model, but he says he's only interested in her cultural attributes, which he says are absolutely massive. We had placed Vladivostok. Have you been there? No, but it's the end of the trans-Iberian well-raised, isn't it? I don't know. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, it's uh, I forget its Chinese name, but it's only been part of Russia since about 1860. Really? Yeah. It's a strange place, your head, isn't it? It's all... Well, do you say about the strength? Because it's all full of funny stuff, weird stuff. No, I just know a little bit about history and geography, it's nothing funny about that, Lucy. I think people say our obsession with the soap opera is much more weird than what you do. That's completely normal. Just think funny about that at all. This week we have calls from Paul Rheum, who thinks Harassment needs to arrest himself, JoJo Sexy Heels, who thinks Kate is absolutely fabulous, Mrs Marbles, who knows what happened in Brighton, with a spoon and angus, who started prescribing, and Mrs Bentos, who will miss Moik. But first, Lucy, why don't you give us one of your rip roaring, humorous, salacious, sometimes filthy, but always funny, monologues. This week in average was sponsored by the Institute of Unlikely Behaviors, however, let us begin at the beginning with Auntie Cardboard and Hootie Jill by the Bees. Hootie Jill was checking the bees for yet more horrible diseases, and while she was taken their blood pressure and making them all turn to the side and cough, Auntie Cardboard was asking her whether she should move in with Peggy Woolley. Yes said Hootie Jill, thinking it will be so much easier to have you both in the same place, so I won't have to go even further out of my way to patronise you. In fact, why not move, heave a pet in there too, and you can all take turns pushing each other off the stairlift. Susan spent the week practising Canapace for Mike and Vicki's leaving too. Ed doesn't see the point of Avocado, he announced bewilderingly. How can there be a point to an Avocado? Anyway, poor odd Neil got fed up with the Canapace, he's the only pigman in Borsicki, who goes off to work with a lunchbox containing a pack of frazzles, a can of ginger beer, an apple and 17 prune and almond yak tartlets. Over at Home Farm, one of the pickers strained his wrist helping Charlie out with a job that ended up being bigger than he thought, well, we've all been there. Kenton started the week being irritatingly chipper about the fate, let's have it in the car park, he suggested joyfully, the very place all of life's best experiences happen in car parks, the jolly festival goers crowding round the recycling bins and nestling up to someone's Ford Mondeo, it'd look like some kind of slightly over formal dogging session. Anyway, common sense prevailed when the merry widow suggested moving the fate to Lower Locksley, which was greeted with screams of delight by everyone except Kenton, who sat on his park bench saying, "You've always hated me, haven't you, you've ever tried on ruin me?" He even had to go at Jill, who sat there echoing him with sad hoots. Tony and Pat have gone cruising, that won't do his heart any good either, but at least he'll die happy. Susan told a secure little story about winning a pig at a fate and ending up with Neil, seems like a fair deal to me, I'm not sure she'd have stayed married quite so long to the pig, but it might have made slightly less weird noises. Jenny had a heart to heart with Lillian and confirmed her utter insanity by saying, "Cate never used to be like this, even deluded Lillian pointed out that Kate had been is now and will always be a sodding nightmare." Kate has left her course as her silly tutor just didn't understand the big picture and kept trying to make her waste her time backing up her point of view with facts and figures honestly. Brian had a lovely go at her and told her for a hundredth time, "This time, Kate, this time you really, really are on your own, no really, Kate, I mean it, Kate, take your hand out of my wallet." He also said, "She couldn't hold anything down, but she gave it a good go with Toby Fairbrother." At the Tucker's Farewell party, Susan taught Neil how to make a champagne cocktail, or cock-tail as she referred to it, I got the sense Neil would have been a lot more comfortable making a beer cock-tail, pour some beer in a glass, pour some more beer over it then top it up with beer. This was also the scene of the major character clanger as far as I was concerned, there is no way on God's earth that Jennifer would have told Brenda that Kate was leaving her course. No way. Jennifer likes to hide things until the last possible moment before revealing that her family have stuffed up massively yet again. Fallon and Harrison had a cringy birthday celebration, "I hate people that don't like their own birthdays, just shut up, it's not about you, it's about everyone else, it's my birthday next week and I want a gigantic fuss and if there isn't one, there will be trouble." They then accidentally revealed that their special cuddles only last 10 minutes, so that's two minutes for the actual act and an eight minute fingertip search for Fallon's bunting, I would imagine. While the rest of the village were locked into a dark, stuffy room on a boiling hot summer's evening and forced to sit behind Fallon and Harrison while they said, "No, I love you more, nor I love you more." Unbearable Kate and Lillian sat in the pub garden getting pissed, disappointingly Lillian did not tell Kate, she was a waste of bloody time and to pull her finger out, but instead they had a bit of an "oh, it's not us, people just don't understand that we're different" darling. Kate managed to blame everyone in the entire world for her current situation, including Hailey, Roy, Lucas, the entire Madicarno family, Mr. Mathewson, Brian, Jennifer, Percy Thrower and the late Archbishop Macareos. The two of them, an overprivileged little spoiled rich girl, who's half as bright as she thinks she is, and a gin-soaked bankrupt divorcee with a taste in men that Kerry Katona would think was dubious, are going to come up with a plan that will amaze the whole village. Kate, get her bloody job, that'll amaze all of us. The end. Ah, Lucy, that was good this week. Thank you. Yeah, no, no, seriously, that was good. No, no, really, really, I was just with proper fun. It's a compliment. I did think the Brian Slatdown was very good. It was, but do you know what made me cross? There's always a thing that makes me cross. Brian and Jennifer have indulged Kate for 38 years. They have bailed her out. They have boosted, you know, there are some people who actually suffer from high self-esteem and Kate is one of them. They have boosted her up unnecessarily when the problem was she had too much self-confidence, not too little or self-belief anyway. They have, you know, made excuses for her appalling behaviour. They have bailed her out. They have never allowed her to just fail and she is the human equivalent of the Christmas play, isn't she? Always bailed out at the last minute and magically just about scrapes through. But come on, come on, as someone who's a parent, and I know your children are somewhat younger than Kate, but if you could see that one of your offspring was about to fail, you do exactly the same. The thing is, with Brian and Jennifer - But as long as they learned something afterwards, but now they're having a go at her as if she's created that situation herself. She hasn't. It's them. It's - I think that's a massive oversimplification. They have, what, three other children? They're not like Kate. And I would say that they have a - No, one come there to be the same country with them. One's a philandering git. And the other, well, I don't know what to say, but Alice, to be honest, Alice is in between the event wrecking, she's - and the nuclear physicists, she's quite sound, doesn't she? No. Alice is fine. You know, Debbie's ada erupts and downs and literal ups and downs, nocturnal ups and downs and whatever, but she's absolutely solid, fundamentally. And Adam has come back into the bosom of the family and he's helping out with the family business. You yourself said it, that some people just born with too much self-esteem, that's what she's born with. So it doesn't really matter what a parent did - But you can't be born with that. You can't. No, no, no. Do you remember a trapping one of the Grundy boys in that house? You are so taking me back, you know. Who did - who was - was it Ed? I think it was Ed. And it was - whose house was it? It was somebody's house and they'd temporarily moved in with somebody else, although renting it out as something. It was empty, wasn't it? Yeah. And they were smoking in there and they took it over and she - yeah, she'd travel with them in there and they got into trouble and she didn't because I think because Jennifer just wouldn't believe that she was playing with them at all or something. I tell you, because old Mike is left, I've found myself today going back on the art matches website, doing, you know, doing a little bit of digging. Mike Tucker, I forgot how angry he used to be. I had complete - he is so mellowed out. He was always angry, bet he was so put upon, wasn't she? She really was. I had forgotten that, and I completely forgotten also that Kate had disappeared for literally like a year, nine months after a GCSE, she was just - yeah, she has always been a handful. And there is only so much blame her parents can, you know, put on themselves for the way that she is because actually, as I've said, you know, if we take a little Ruari, Ruari out of things, you know, we've got three other kids who stand up adults, you know, Kate is just Kate, her world has always revolved around her. And if her parents didn't give her love and largesse, she would say, well, the receivable, and if they did, then we just say they're overindulging her. They're in a no-win situation because she just is the way that she is. She has to find her own path and just, you know, and fail. Talking about - just sorry to divert you for a second, but talking about the bygone days, am I right in saying that Betty nearly had an affair with Sid Perks? I think you are probably right. Didn't she move into the bull or she was working at the bull for a while? And somebody said that she had that Brian fancied her as well. Well, he kind of fancied everything at one point. Yeah, he did everyone a go, wouldn't he? Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's not really saying much. Right, get back, back, right, back, right, that's okay. But it wouldn't surprise me, you know, it was, you know, I really think, uh, new and old listeners alike should go back and actually read the, uh, Kerry Davis does a yearly kind of synopsis and then there are clips of kind of key scenes and you just hear, and it was a real shock to hear how angry Mike was and I went, yes, he was the guy who you never really liked. Yeah. You never really liked Mike Tucker. Yeah. Well, he kind of mellowed after Betty's first heart attack, he mellowed and then Vicki kind of ungrumped him a bit. Yeah, but he was described as the one who never had a sense of humor. And, and as Neil said in his speech, the sort of union firebrand, because he was the one who he organized a protest against Brian for, for, um, unlawful working practices because Brian had fired somebody, he shouldn't have fired without making it properly redundant or something like that. You think that's the reason why Brian got his revenge on him by that accident, poking his eye out? I don't remember the accident, I don't know how he actually lost his eye. And the thing was I was at college at university at the time, so I was completely listening because the scene that I heard, which is on the, on the arches website, I remember all of it. It all came flooding back. Really? But I cannot remember actually what the accident was, though I remember he was angry, he was depressed. Yeah. Oh, just whilst we, um, on the subject of, um, old archive bits of the arches, I went through you. Oh, yes. Uh, BBC archive, uh, in peri bail. And you met lovely James Jeffers, didn't you? I did. I did. Nice. And, uh, I met a gentleman called Dion, who is kind of head of the BBC archive. And guess what, Lucy? What? They allowed me to hold the oldest edition of the arches at the BBC. Really? Yeah. It's from 1952, it's episode three, no, yeah, 302 and I did tweet out a little picture of it. That's amazing. It's 302 in 1952. Everyone's discharged. Yeah. I realize how long it's been going. Absolutely. And, um, Norman painting was in that episode and yeah, and it was a, it's a, it's a 12 inch, uh, bit of vinyl and the shows were a little bit longer back then. I think they're about 14 minutes or so, but yeah. And you know, they're saying that, um, they might actually have older episodes. Uh, it's just that they, they, they're some kind of store room somewhere, which hasn't actually been catalogued because when they have to move, when they move from television, uh, television center and they move from various different other places, they still have, you know, artifacts and content and things, which they haven't actually gone through in catalog. So it could, well, they could actually find out that, you know, in a year or two that they actually have older episodes, but the, the oldest one which is catalogued, uh, I held it. Wow. And actually a picture. Yeah. It's very, very cool. And thank you people at the BBC for inviting me along. I had an amazing time, an amazing time. Um, Luce? Yep. Should we do some calls? Yay. Hello. Ambridge 3962. Hello, down to down, it's Felicity. I hope you're both keeping well. I think we've reached a point where the Kenton story has changed gear. Up to now, a lot of us have been saying, it's all your own fault. Silly boy, pull yourself together, you know, yell at David for a bit and then get over it. But I think this week, it changed gear in that he had a go at Jill and that is unheard of. Jill who's protected him and supported him and all the rest of it or her life. I think Luce's analysis of him as the, the dreamer who had the chance to have his dreams come true. And then that disappeared so quickly was a very, very perceptive analysis. I think that's exactly what the problem is. He not only had a go at Jill, but he did it in front of Tom and in front of Ed who is not even family. So that really, really is crossing a line. I hope that they don't bring it to climax by having him physically attack David. I think that would be much, much too easy. Where is Shula in this? She's supposed to be his twin. They are supposed to be the, have the twin thing, which we got told about probably a few months back. But where is Shula? Why isn't she intervening with Kenton? Or maybe she and Kenton are going to re-bond over Alistair's absence. Can't work out where it's going, but I do think it's suddenly become a much, much more serious story nine. That's all for now. Keep up the good work. Many thanks. Bye bye. Felicity. Has very kindly. Can I just jump in? You know people have been talking about the fact that they don't, you know, they can't discern who's speaking on the arches, they don't know which character is whom. Felicity has got the same problem with you and I. That's what I was, that's, that was what I was going to say. She has very kindly attributed her, your excellent summing up of Kenton to me, which is very nice. Thank you, thank you. I'm hoping to take a compliment even if it was never intended for me. Yes. And also, where is, as she says, where is Shula? Shula is the one who normally comes galloping in to calm Kenton down when he's throwing his toys and she's vanished. Well, do you think that's actually going to be her role in this? She's leaving it a bit late, isn't she? He's going, he's going postal. I mean, he's, you know, he is the fact that he's having a go at his mum. You know, David is one thing because that's like kids squabbling on the back seat. You're on my side of the seat, Thwag. But this is, you know, that's unpleasant. And he knows that his mum would never do anything deliberately to, you know, to... Well, I think Kenton absolutely does know that, but he's so anxious that he just lost it. Yeah. You know, quite, not even quite reflection. I'm sort of second afterwards, he realised what he said was wrong, but he's that panicked about money that, you know, he was just wearing his emotions on his sleeve then, you know, they were just incredibly misdirected. But poor old Jolene, I mean, I'm not sure how, because it's sort of her business. She hasn't got for sort of family money to rely on in the, so she's got nobody to bail her out in the way that Jill could bail out Kenton, if necessary. She doesn't have that. If she splits up with Kenton, she's buggered because she's lost the business, he'll have lost the business by his behaviour, you know, she, I don't know, I just, I wish they would end this storyline quickly because it's getting sort of, it's just horrible. It's out of character for Kenton, well, it's kind of out of character for Kenton. And it's just, he's just taking it way, way, way, way, way, way too far. I don't like it. And no one is around on Team Kenton, are they? She's saying on his side, because, because Shuler also said, oh, that's a brilliant idea in Elizabeth, when Elizabeth suggested having it at Lower Locksley. So if, if I suppose if Shuler then says, having it, having it at Lower Locksley is not to say that you're not on Kenton's side. That's the, you know, Kenton, Kento's prime, prime motivation is cashola. And as he said, passing trade, no one else is thinking of that, just thinking of the tradition of the village, we need to have a fate, you know, you just happen to be collateral damage in that decision, you know, but he cannot see it as such because they're strapped for cash and of his own doing. Well, I suppose the moral of the story is always go to meetings that you're supposed to be at otherwise things get decided when you're not there. But I'm sure Kenton would say couldn't afford to be there because I can't have the extra stuff going about at the moment, but yes. Greetings Lucy Royfield and all dumpty-dummers around the world, Witherspoon and Angus Haggis here, were back from our upstate weekend visiting Martin Van Buren, while at least we saw his statue. And while in Kenya hook, I learned that Thomas Cole, the founder of the Hudson River School of American Art in the early 1800s, was actually born and raised in Lancashire before his family came to America when he was 17, may our nation's cross-fertilization always bear fruit. This week saw me dipping my tone to the Twitterverse and it was quite the exciting seven days for the archers as well. I'm sure that Lucy has given us a very entertaining summary of the swanky party scene in Ambridge. Only its residents can view moving an hour's drive away as if one were moving to Australia. My hat goes off to Brian for finally, finally confronting Kate in a big way and to Jennifer for backing him up. They partially restored my hope and their parenting skills. So, we can only hope for the best for young Rory. I did get a kick out of Kate trying to rub out Lillian into delivering her bad news. It just showed us how unsympathetic a character she is right now. I love that Jennifer reminded her and us that despite her teenage whining and tears, she is a 38-year-old married mother of three. Lillian thinks that Kate needs a plan. As I suggested before, a one-way ticket to South Africa would be a most excellent one. However, I don't think that's what the script writers have in mind. On to Kenton, poor, deluded Kenton. I did think that the ladies of the Fate Committee pulled the plug on it rather unilaterally and prematurely, but with siblings Kenton and Elizabeth both planning alternative venues and a serious lack of communication between our two family members, that looming locomotive crash could be seen miles down the track. Well, just more fodder for Kenton's paranoid fantasies. The whole family is in on it now. So Angus is busy writing a prescription for Kenton's antipsychotic medication even as we speak. Angus doesn't have the best handwriting, what doggy doctor does, so I better go assist him. We The Spoon is now on Twitter, which is very nice and he sent us a picture of himself looking extremely stern in his dumpy dump t-shirt. And he said, as well, he said what you said, that you know, Brian having a go at Kate and Jennifer for once actually backing him up and saying, no, darling, your father's right. He said it's sort of restored hoping they're pairing two skills. Well, kind of, but it was their pairing two skills. I think that got her there in the first place. I really do think that. Well, we have to agree to disagree on this slightly, but if you bring up a child to believe that they're God's gift and you know, she's so creative. She's so talented. She's so independent. She's such a free spirit. I'm like, why, what is going, you know, how do you then get them to, to, to, you can't suddenly say, actually, you're not, you're just like everyone else. Now stop it. But I don't see and maybe other listeners can tell me that I'm wrong here, but I can't see how they've actually treated Kate differently, if I were to treat any of their children. You know, I know when Debbie left home, she was somewhat older than Kate, but Debbie's gone. No, you're right. I suppose it's gone off. I can't imagine if Adam had done anything as bad as the things that Kate has done. Kate is just incredibly self-centred and always has been, you know, and there's no level of- She's not even the youngest, is she? It's normally the youngest. No, exactly. You know, Alice is, is an arch-tortery compared to her. Yeah. You know, she's absolutely a conformist. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yep. You're right. Oh, I don't know. I give up. I just blow some, my own theory, haven't I like playing battleships? Ah! Hi there, Dom Todomo. This is JoJo Sexy Heels here, and I've just thought I'd ring in with my musings on the week ahead or the week behind on Kate. Kate really is turning into a DNA from Abfab. She's getting nuttier and nuttier with every single moment. I absolutely loved Brian's rants when he told her exactly what he thought of her. I thought it was absolutely fantastic. I really feel that, you know, we've got our saffi with Phoebe. She's obviously well fed up with her mother. And now, of course, every adena has to have a patsy, and in the wings, we have Lillian. She hasn't got a man in her life. She does have the love of the gin and tonic, and she seems to be the one that is giving the support to Kate in her wanderings through the world, leaving destruction everywhere she goes. Yes, JoJo Sexy Heels says that Kate is now adena from Abfab. A few people have said that on the Twitter channel. Yeah, and when Phoebe just said, "No, I'm coming back with you," to Brian, when she set the affiral arm off, and Kate said, "No, but darling, you're staying," and she said, "No, I'm not," and that's it. But there's almost an element of Phoebe that is gloring in this look how awful she is. Even if Kate did do something nice now, Phoebe would say, "No, we don't believe it. She's doing something for us." It's not even if Kate had come back and she'd have been sweetness and light, and a model mother, Phoebe understandably would have, what, 17 years, 16 years worth of understandable resentment. Yeah. Well, especially after what happened when she went out there. Exactly. You know, she caught a mother having an affair in South Africa. She has been abandoned by a mother, you know, she flouched his back whenever she wants and pretends that everything's fine, and that's, so, yeah, you know. She had it coming whichever way, but from Phoebe. Yeah. This week has taught me that the archers is true to life. I went to a meetup on my cousin's husband's family farm in Deepest Suffolk to find that her husband's farming parents are called David and Ruth, and have recently been getting quotes for robotic milkers. Not only that, but David recently took a kicking from one of the cows. Okay, not Tony, but I think, given my now vast agricultural experience, that the script writers are spot on with their depiction of farming life. The cows went moo and the sheep bar, so that was right as well. Another accurate aspect this week was the way both Kate and Kenton blamed other people for their predicaments, without any self-awareness that their own actions may have something to do with the sticky situations they find themselves in. It was a bit much of Kenton to have a go at his 84-year-old mother that it would be her thought if the bull fails due to the relocation of the summer fate. Nothing to do with him splashing the cash that he didn't actually have. Kate had a whole list of people who were the cause of her problems, Lucas and his parents, the tutor, Roy and Haley, I love her annoying, self-entitled ways and can't get enough of her winching. My own self-awareness came in this week when I realized how much of a warrior I am. When Harrison put on the showing of Chicago at the bull for Fallon's birthday, my first thought was not, "How lovely, what a wonderful boyfriend." But, as he thought this through and got the correct license for playing a DVD in a public place, given the dire warnings on them of civil and criminal penalties for doing so. If not, could he lose his job over such a misdemeanor? Will Rob find out and use it as leverage next time he is interrogated for some foul deed by PC Burns, as he will then have some dirt on him, worries, worries. On a different tack, I thought I'd developed a foolproof system for telling Rex and Toby apart and was just about to patent it, ended up more confused than ever. I thought simple enough, just remember that Rex is a dog and Toby a Toby jug. But then the system fell down, is Rex a good dog that everyone likes, or a bad dog that goes around biting people, and is Toby a Toby jug full of beer, so a jolly chap of good cheer, or is he the bad lad who's had a few too many and gets into bar fights, Rex good Toby bad. Rex good Toby bad, I'll just repeat this 400 times a day and I'm sure soon enough I remember who is who. Paul room, he's actually been to a farm owned by somebody called David and Ruth where someone got kicked by a cow, who says it's not true, he doesn't say whether or not it was flooded and he ended up in a tent with Elizabeth. But he is worried, what did you think of that bloody, sorry I'm swearing my head off today, that secret cinema thing. I thought it was quite sweet, but there is something a bit naff about Harrison with Fallon, naff in that it's a little bit too saccharin, and I can't quite put my finger on it, but it completely took me back to a Valentine's Day, God 20 years ago now, when I, have you ever seen the film Cinema Paradiso, absolutely gorgeous film and the story is, is that there is projectionist in this town and he's been showing films for about 20, 30 years and he has to cut out all of the scenes of romance of kissing because of the village censor who is the priest and kind of on his deathbed, he gives this film to his junior projectionist who becomes this kind of big film director, movie director and it's the scenes of all these famous films with people getting a smooch and many, many, many years ago I thought that's quite a nice idea that is, and I, for my girlfriend at the time, Valentine's Day, spent a week going through old classic movies, this is before the internet, we could just download stuff and just chop it, so it really was an effort, putting them all together and I put some background music to it and it was 10 minutes of, you know, like Lauren and Bekal or, you know, Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton, you know, kind of kissing in the most kind of dramatic and kind of essential ways and she just went, "Hmm, you not got me a present then?" "Was it Kate? Were you going out of Kate?" I tell you what, Elizabeth, I was crestfallen, I'd spent so long, and she was, and Claire was such a lovely girl, but she just did, she had no idea the amount of work that they kind of got into it because she wasn't mean spirited at all, but she just went, "Hmm, oh, so you didn't get me a present then? Oh, that's fine." But I thought, "Oh my God, is it just this?" And I say that as a weak tangential link to the movie thing, in that he went to a lot of work, you know, and he has thought about it deeply, he had asked around, I know she didn't want any fuss in inverted commas, but, you know, I thought it was kind of quite sweet, but there's something, and a little bit stagely naff about their relationship. She has taken her edge away. Well, her edge has been taken away from quite some time, you know, it really has. You know, she's gone, she used to be quite, not hard, she used to be a bit bollocksy, she used to be a bit alternative, you know, now she's bloody tea sets and furniture restoring, and the most annoying thing for me is, and I know you're going to go, "Yeah, but we're going to go." But she said, "I don't want you to do anything," and he thought, "No, you don't," and went and did it anyway. No, no, no, no. I agree with you. I agree with you. The reason why I agree with you is because he went and asked Jolene, and Jolene said she doesn't like any fuss. Yeah. So, you know, arguably. Oh, is that? No, I know better. I know better. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But anyway. Yep, not a fan, anyway. Where are we going with this? Oh, yes. Pull room. Yes, well, I wish he would arrest himself. I wish somebody, the thing that worries me about Fallon is that she's going to default into a relationship, into a proper, you know, long-term marriage or whatever, with harassment. And then, somebody really bad, as in, exciting bad, is going to come to PODCASTER. The PODCASTER. Yeah. This PODCASTER. Brummy PODCASTER is going to turn up in Ambridge, and she's going to be off like a shot. And then she's going to have all that guilt and everything else. You know, because she's just settled. Because she slept, walked into it, because everyone said, "Oh, he's so lovely, so lovely, isn't he?" And she kind of just gone along with it, and I don't know, "No, no, no, no, no." She deserves better. But I always think, people just say- Well, I think I have to be careful here, because I'm kind of linking this back to our conversation a couple of PODCASTER go about romantic love. And listening back to that, I think we both oscillated between, you know, you very clearly started off saying romantic love is a construct, which is some 500 years old, which, you know, I don't kind of quite agree with. But then we talked about love, and was love real. And that isn't where we kind of started the whole kind of conversation. But I think that if we are, we have to be careful what we're saying here about, specifically what you've just said there, in terms of settling for somebody. Because there's nothing wrong with Harrison, he's an absolute rock. If you're looking for an easy workout, you're in the wrong place.

Somebody who is obviously into you prepared to have your back, in case of all don't settle for them. What do we want? She needs to go off around the world, that's what she needs. Well she won't go in that camper van around Britain, didn't she? She'd love it in Austin, South by Southwest. That'd be perfect for it really, because she's a singer. Yeah, I don't know, she's just, I don't want her to just waste away and become just another ambridge woman, you know what I mean? But I don't think she's going to waste away because there are obviously queuing her up for quite a meaty future in that she's developing her own business. The one thing about Fallon, she's always been searching for a career, hasn't she? She's behind the bar, but she was also a little bit frustrated about that, even though she's good at it. She's good at managing, but she was like, oh, I think I want more out a lot, that's actually her things, there's something else, but I'm not sure what it is, music and whatever, and now she's found it and she's going to be good. So whether she becomes, I don't know, some incredibly big and successful business woman, I don't know, but they are setting her up for success in inverted comments, they are. I reckon Fallon and Harassment will have to buy the bull off Jolene and Kenton. Oh, it's a bit soon though, isn't it? I really like that as an idea, but I think it's just a bit soon. A bit soon? Oh, what? As for them as a couple? Well, because he threw in some money for her business. I've just had a horrible thought. Go on. You know, Lillian was saying to Fallon, was saying to Kate, we're going to find a plan, what if, what if, because Lillian's got money in the bull, what if she just likes to put Kate in there? We're going to find a plan to, you know, amaze the village. Oh, God, I hope not. No, it can't be, you know, because she's got absolutely no to be here. Because Lillian's not, you know, Lillian's a canny business woman. She wouldn't be so stupid. I felt really disappointed with Lillian this week. No, she's a, it's a niece, it's her niece. I know, but she's still- It is her job to put an arm around her and say- But she did, she filled her with more of the cock-eyed nonsense that got her in this mess in the first place. Because Lillian sees part of herself in Kate. That's the thing. The failure, yeah. Well, not the failure, just the, you know, we see the world differently. You know, Lillian is a bit of a head in this too. That's the reason why she's, you know, she's had a treatment and, and, and, and whatever. And as with the spoon says, she's, she's a narcissist. Just like Kate. However, she's not to the extreme of Kate. That's the thing. Yeah. You know, she has her own dysfunctional relationship with, oh god, what's a dreadful son called now? His name, I forget. James. Marr. Hello, Marr. James Bellamy. Mm. That's, I did for, sorry for it when she said sometimes, you know, it's easier to do with her credential when they're a nice long way away. And I thought, yes, that'd be bloody easy to do with James with a nice long way away. I'm glad that story line's gone quiet because he was rather be mad him and let his, whatever she's called. Lillianly. Hello, Roy Field. Hello, Lucy. It's Ms. Margles here from Brighton, of all places, but more of that later. I did email in with a prediction a couple of weeks ago, but you didn't mention it. So maybe you didn't get it or I don't know. Maybe it wasn't sufficiently interesting. Anyway, I'm now contacting you with it because I don't think anyone has suggested this prediction yet and I can't get it out of my head. So here we go. There have been various burglaries in the village and obviously not sold because Harrison carpet burns is too busy on other matters, which may be proposing to Fallon soon, I think. But anyway, that's not the prediction. My prediction is that the burglar who's been going around and looting the cottages is, in fact, Alistair. He's got himself into huge gambling debt now and he doesn't know what to do, which is why he's been quite distant and vague as his mind is on all the debts. And he knew that Auntie Cardboard wasn't in her house because she was in his house. So I wonder if he's been going around to the houses of people who are away because of the flood and he's been stealing things and selling them because the heavies are after him because of his gambling debts. That's my prediction. Don't know if that sounds likely. My last prediction was something about Tina and Rob and that was rubbish, so perhaps this one will be too. Anyway, got a dash because it's a sunny day in Brighton and we're all going out, friend of ours, Toby is coming down. Last time Toby was here, you would not believe it. In fact, let me tell you, oh, no, sorry, I can't tell you what happens in Brighton stays in Brighton. Bye, you two. Still loving the podcast. Bye. Thank you. That was stretch incredulity for me, that one. Yeah, no, he's not, well, organised enough to be a burglar in the house. He's run out of the house, leave it all behind. Yes, no, I can't see that. I can't see that. But she's committed to it as a theory. Well, we like people who are committed to theory, so if you're committed to a theory, please call in next week. Stick with it. However, outlandish. Yes. We don't care. Hello, it's Mrs. Bentos here. This week I've been mainly following the Lillian Guide to making it through life, not attempting to do a thing until I've drunk a vat of coffee and wandering at the incredible healing powers of gin, infinitely preferable to Susan's dirty banana or whatever hideous cocktails she was serving at her party. So talking of that party, the leading party, I've spent much of the week shouting, don't go muyck at the radio. I'm really sad that the tuckers are leaving. I think we'll really miss them, such a shame that we're not going to get to see Bethany growing up, and there were some brilliant stories, I'm sure, that could have been told there. It's very sad, I think, that mics disappearing into the sunset with Vicki, who apparently is the woman that is unable to recognise a tree despite living in the country for several years. I thought the scenes where they were saying goodbye to the house with Brenda and Roy were really sweet, and kind of brought back memories of Betty dying, and I can remember howling at the radio when that happened. But one bit of good news from my point of view was that, I think, Haney may be coming back as Mike was telling Roy not to give up on her, I think most of us were probably presuming that that was the last routine of her, but that's a silver lining to the tucker cloud, if she does come back, I'm wondering who might be moving into Willow Farm, I don't know if this means more new characters, or surely it's not the sheepdogs that will be moving into there, because I'm actually a bit confused, I don't know where their kennel is situated at the moment, but it seems a bit of a poor swap to me, the tuckers for the sheepdogs, so I have to wait and see. Rather than that, the other shock of this week was really P.C. Burns' idea of a romantic birthday surprise of Fallon, which she seemed quite pleased with, I'd have been a bit cheesed off, frankly, I don't think a single longer Chicago with a load of sort of half cut regulars from the pub is my idea of a beautiful romantic surprise, but she seemed okay about it. I just want to know if Kenton and Carpet Burns roughed their knees and rolled their stockings down for the occasion, perhaps I shouldn't really have asked that question, it's not the best mental image to portray is it, thanks very much, still loving the show, keep up the good work. And Ms Bentos said she had a little cry when the tuckers left, when Mike and Vicky left. Oh, the tree was moving, yeah, was it windy, I know it's on the website, but it did, that bit did really make me cry when I think about Betty and him trying to get dressed for the funeral and saying, I wanted to ask Betty what tie I should wear, and I thought I was just so moving. It's such a beautiful way of describing the loss of somebody that's been part of your life, practically all your life, and then you actually need the one person you need to help get through their losses, it's not there because it's them, you know, and it's very, it was beautifully written and such a sad scene. And I think this is one of the, we're so spoiled by how much continuity that actually is in our favourite ducky drama, and that was it, it was absolutely was a case in point. There was a little bit of a fuss made about, you know, the ashes and the tree when Betty died, but I'd forgotten, and I'm sure, it was because Vicky wanted to build something on it, didn't she, or she wanted to build the, and you know, she is, I love Vicky, but she is kind of self-centred, it is about her and I think that's a little bit harsh, I think she's a little bit of a blunderbuss, but actually when you, when things get pointed out to her, she gets it, but in that moment, you know, she just, she's just a blunderbuss, but you know, she's not, you know, not at all self-centred in the way that Kate Aldridge is, you can actually reason with her, but I just thought it's just another example of the kind of the continuity that, you know, go throughout the show, in that, you know, Betty wasn't forgotten, and even just the fact that Brenda came back, you know, that that's very much real life, you know, all, you know, whether you watch EastEnders or Coronating Street when actors leave, it's as if to say they never had any backstories or any families before, nobody ever comes back, and I just thought that in itself was just a lovely touch. I did, I, I was greatly relieved that it was the same bloody Brenda, but also, when she came back, I kind of thought, oh, you're here, are you, yeah, where have you been, can't remember, who were you with, done on that either, it was sort of like, let's just pick up from where, and it's like when you meet, when you haven't seen someone for ages, and you've actually, you feel guilty because you should have, you should have been paying attention to what happened to them and where, and you sort of say, so are you still doing that thing you were doing before you left, and are you still with that thing, either, you know, the, the man slash woman you were with before you let you know, it's sort of, and I felt a bit like that, I felt incredibly guilty that I clearly hadn't paid attention to it, the boyfriend's called Adrian, isn't he, and they're not getting married, and he's some web person, but I don't know where they are, where are they, are they London, aren't they London, after she was with the Russian crook millionaire billionaire, I did like the little scenes with her and Tom, yes, you know, the little kind of hesitancy in, in new Tom's voice, you know, and it was, oh hello, the type of thing, and the fact that they'd messed up two relationships, yeah, but anyway, I thought that was interesting that he'd now reflected on that and realised that he'd actually bugged that one up as well, that he was now seeing both of them as a, as a failure, sort of his failure, yeah, his failure, yeah. We've had an email, well, we've had several emails about our, you know, and you and I were getting very muddled up about sheep shagging their children and then ending up with a little little, well, a proper person has emailed a proper person who knows what she is talking about, Jackie Dale, hello Jackie, not all of the lambs are sold for roast dinners in pedigree flocks and some commercial flocks are best will be kept for breeding, but farmers are always careful to make sure that inbreeding is avoided, so the u-lamps would be kept in a different flock, i.e. different field, and run with a different ram. It is quite usual for a u-lamp to have her own lamb at one year old, though sometimes they're lamb'd at two. In cattle, a similar policy will apply. If heifers are kept for breeding, the bull will be sold before his daughters join the herd. In dairy cattle, most are visited by the bull in the bull hat, which is the word for the AI man. Though a bull might be kept also depending on the system, heifers are ideally mated at about 15 months, meaning that they carve at 24 months or thereabouts. This is the optimum time to enable a cow to be the most profitable oozanite barro farm. I hope that makes sense. I grew up on a sheep and beef farm, an arrow and a dairy farm with my husband. I love the line on the dumpty dumb sponsored by easy fry oven chips for days when cows are more important. There are a lot of days like that in our house, she says. Yes, thank you very much, Jackie, that is very helpful. Thank you, Jackie. And she says, if we need to know anything else in the future, then she will be our dairy correspondent, which is great. Elizabeth Church says she grew up on a dairy farm. When I was about nine, my mother decided to show me a bull serving a cow. I asked if it was the same in humans. My mother said it was. And I said, but I've never seen daddy jump on your back. And um, oh, my mum has emailed in to say, I am amazed that you thought this is to me, not you. I am amazed that you thought that farmers carted bulls around from farm to farm like goat people take billy goats around. Have you not heard of artificial insemination? Sorry, mother. Yes. She said, and she was in North Yorkshire. And she said she saw bulls in family groups, but a lot of bulls are kept in concrete pens with bars around them and they're only come out to service the cows. That is a very sad life. And Adam heads on country file has old breeds and Highland pedigree cattle. So he owns at least one Highland bull, she says. And then she goes on to have a go at me because I apparently gave a good plug to the WY, but then the podcast went dead. What happened? Love Mar. So there we go. Mar like James Bellamy. Um, Cosmo said, you know, we were talking about who I thought it was Louise that made up anti cardboard. He says, as far as I'm aware, this originated on a long time ago to reflect her cardboard style of acting. But somebody else and I think it was dusty substances said that Amanda White had made up anti cardboard on the mustard land message board. So we don't know. Is the upshot and outcome. We do not know a bit like the origin of the expression. Okay. Yes, we're never actually never going to know. There's probably a Wikipedia page of about 40,000 pages long on anti cardboard. We don't know. Scarlett Sparrow. She says, we are right. There will be a pregnancy soon, but it will be Kate who gets knocked up and maybe intentionally as she has nothing else to do. Watch out men of Ambridge, who will be the daddy? Also Royfield, where are the yoga maps? I need you are blocking my chakras mat on the other side. It could say time to go smudging. Keep going of the podcast. She says, thank you very much. Um, here's the thing. And I did address this a little bit last week, but cafe press, which is the facility, the platform that we use, they withdrawn a whole load of products. And I don't even know if yoga maps were actually one of them, which we could actually put our logos on. A whole load of things have gone. And they used to be tea towels many, many, many moons ago. And now they're on. So again, he's a challenge. If somebody can find me, find us a link for a company that allows us to put logos on yoga mats, we will do that and we'll get them sent out to you. All right. Yes, yes, yes. Yes, that's it. The end of the call is good. Good. Um, that's very, very, very quickly. Uh, how a commercial break. Hello, I'm Sarah Smith, proud sponsor of Dumpty Dum.

I'm in Hope House as a client. Um, I have had addiction issues. Um, I hope as, um, I was a inclusion in eating disorders, heroin, alcohol, addiction, methadone. I'm here because it got really bad. Hope House started off as an eight-bed unit in Maydavale and, um, we're in all women units. I've read an article about Hope House some months before and when I read about it, what I read or what I took away from the article was that this was a place where women worked to help other women. Coming soon to iTunes, one thousand and one conversations a new podcast from Royfield Brown. Good day, everyone. Millie Bell here. It's the night before the shortest night of the year and it's absent freezing here for cold for us. Twelve degrees. Big week in the arches and on the book of face, Paul McAnulty in Ambridge adexes. Now, I have replayed this several times as I thought I'd heard it wrong. But what was Elizabeth suggesting? Chris. It's Ruth's birthday tomorrow, isn't it? Elizabeth. Yes. And David's driving up to prod her. It's all a bit carry on farming. Sarah Holt in The Archer's Anonymous. How many times will spilt little Kenton chuck his toys out of the pram before someone gives him a good slap? Man up. Jen Ali agrees in Ambridge adexes and says Kenton's gone too far now. Blaming the safely Jill. How despicable. P.J. Hayes' scripts in Ambridge adexes said that he's never, I've never really seen the point of avocado. No wonder Ed will never get on in life. And Paul Tobin back to Kenton says I used to like Kenton but now I'd happily give him a right hander. We're all getting quite antsy, aren't we? Nikki Smith in Archer's appreciation says the clumsy carrot picker is her new favourite carrot car. Carol King in Upstairs at the Ball said that Rick Christine moving in with Peggy and Ben, Peggy said they would have a proper agreement in case Peggy pegged it but she has left the house to hell and then Rob so will the agreement be that she stays in it till she shuffles off too. That would not go down very well would it? Or see trouble. I must admit I did think that was all very vague and if someone said to me that we're having all written out I want to know what those details were. Adam Frankenburg in Archer's presentation said tonight's episode actually made me feel sorry for Kate and I cannot really believe I've just typed that sentence. Now look at I Adam. Janice Frost in Ambridge at it says if Kenton got a click up the arse like Kate got from Brian I for one would be delighted. Oh Camisto in Ambridge at it said good ol' Lillian. She was a nightmare Jenny, printing Jenny down to earth. That was a brilliant moment wasn't it? Peter Johnson in The Archer's Anonymous said my god I'd forgotten about the vacancy for tree walking. How remiss of me? How are you Cindy? Crazy The cooking arches appreciation says bit selfish of them not to have those leaving drinks in the ball. All functions should now happen in the ball. Weddings, wetting the baby's head, wakes, Kate leaving Ambridge. Well no one think of Kenton. Peter Johnson in The Archer's Anonymous said with just one ever said to go this week it has to be said what a pleasure the arches has been to listen to these last few days. Well written scripts with due consideration given to the way the characters portrayed would have behaved naturally. It has all felt normal and totally believable. No trips to flights of fancy with little or no heat paid to credulity. I've said before credit where credit is due and in this case it is well overdue. Thank you script writers. That is really lovely thank you Peter Johnson. I agree. And all Martin agrees and says well done to Carol Harrington for some really well written episodes this week whether it was the reminiscing between the departing Mike and Neil or Vicki blathering on about missing the cows in country life or Brian and Jenny finally giving the feckless nearly 40 year old Kate Walport they will see Rand writing. Let's hope that the writers keep it up. Tim Porter up in upstairs of the ball said 10 minutes. I don't care to hear you boasting Harrison. And then we had a couple of questions that we asked you and we asked you did you enjoy our homage to this islandist at the end of the show and should we bring this back as a semi regular feature. And generally the agreement was yes that was great fun. In fact people really enjoyed it. So you never know we could get lucky bro. If I had any time. And then we this week show Lucy asked what I would play in the bath. I thought she was having a Brian moment. This was obviously a question from Row Eifield. What piece of music would you choose? Diane Tovall said I was in the podcast nowadays but classical it would be Rhapsody in Blue. Peter Barlow said A Sea Symphony by Ralph Bourn-Williams. Pete Barlow also suggested Handles Water Music and Nicholas Barnes got to be sailing by by Ronald Binge. Peter Barlow also then suggested the theme from Captain Pub Wash. Did you see what he did there? And Jan A Mitchell said River by Joni Mitchell and Ollie Blake said I don't think Brian was listening to Aida in the bath. He was washing the opening titles to the original House of Cards. Great week again everybody. Keep talking on the book of eyes. You amuse the hell out of me and I'll see you next week. So now we're back from our commercial break and from talking to Miss Millie Bell. I just thought it'd be apropos of me just to squeeze in before we go to Lucy's hashtag #TheArtistry to the week. A little note from Sue Hopkinson on the book of Face who said she also too did enjoy listening to songs from the bathtub. But it took her a little while to realise that the water sounds were in the podcast and she hadn't had a leaking pipe. Sorry about that Sue on any kind of panic. Anyway, Lucy, hit us with your hashtag #TheArtistry's tweets of the last seven days please. Okay, these are actually quite a lot of these are actually kind of about what people do while they listen to the archers and they just made me laugh or what they do while they're listening to us. Loma Lindy 12 said I can do guests for about one day. Then the charm wears off and I want to be listening to the archers without my bra on. Woman after my own heart. Um, Marianne, I think I've pronounced that wrongly, but it's Gaelic so I'm sorry. Um, said drowning Kenton in the culvert will be good for village morale. It's very true. Yes, maybe we should do that. Excellent. Mr Spheona just sort of chipped in with, Oh, I've been cleaning while listening to Dum de Dum. I found my toenail scissors. Oh, and the noise at the end of the music is like having a wee, she said. So that was another person. So you had one person who thought it was a leaky pipe and the other person who thought she'd developed incontinence. Um, John O'Shea about talking about Kate said, you know, she said she was going to find herself. She said, can we hide herself really well? So it takes a long time for Kate to find herself. Um, Sam Mary Dee said this was nasty but funny, uh, when, uh, Mike and, um, Mike and Roy and Brenda were all talking. How did we manage to afford this house? No idea. And tweet of the week. Was Zoro P freely who said, you know, Kate said, I can't remember the last time I drank gin. Said Lillian can't remember the last time she drank gin either. And it was yesterday. They were good. They were good this week. Um, shall we start to wrap things up? Yeah. All right. And well, um, first it's, uh, Lucy's favourite section because I know you'd like to, you know, you'd like the in-depth kind of profiles that we have are people who purchase things from us. Yeah. All right. It's sharp news. Uh, right. Now the first person that bought some at this week is also the last person that bought some at this week. Who were they Lucy? It was Andy Bent of Greater Manchester who bought some splash of gin in that darling mugs. And you two folks can buy stuff by going to dumpydump.com/shop. But I just want to say big massive respect to all the dumpy dumplings yesterday who posted photos of themselves on the Twitter's in their swag. Uh, with a spoon who looked frankly scary in his goddess diva who is packing her t-shirt for Glastonbury and Paul Douglas who showed us his t-shirt and mug combo. Do you know what? I went to a meeting with Paul for something that I help out at locally and he does too. And, uh, in fact, I shall say because it's what I should say. There's no reason to be to be covert or culvert about it. Um, we are both on the board of our local credit union, which helps local people to take out loans and, uh, to avoid them having to go to horrible payday loan shark. It's, um, so it's a way of sort of, you know, you, you, you invested it. And then when you need it, people that need the money can, can get cheap loans from it can get cost effective loans. So we both help out there and he turned up a win. Ah, when he arrived because he was wearing his dumpy dump t-shirt, I forgot now it's going to be there. It's very strange. He said, I'd be wearing this all day. I didn't realise I was going to see you anyway. Well, he looked rather splendid. He did. Rather fetching. There's something about that black t-shirt with the white logo. I actually think that's my, my favourite kind of colour combination. The men look manly in them. They do. For manly men, dumpy dump. Put fairs on your chest. Uh, now it's reviews, news, news reviews. And we are getting ever closer to a goal of 200 reviews in the UK store. Now, these lovely scrumptious people have helped us to inch ever closer. Oh, sorry. Sam the gate. What? Sam the gate? God's Barrow one. Uh, Drift 51. And from the colony that got away. Lone Rock God sent this review. Uh, it's very kind of you. Five stars. A must for arches fans. I very much enjoy the meandering dialogue and consideration of all things average. I think I'm one of many expat listeners who appreciate the light-hearted parochial banter and humorous diversions. One quibble. Please dial back the innuendo level from crypto pornographic to cringe-worthy lysilacious. No one has ever called me crypto pornographic quite like that. Could you endorse me for crypto pornography on LinkedIn? I will, but you need to put it as one of your skills. Okay. All right. I for one Lucy. Yeah. Think that Lone Rock God is absolutely right. And you know what Lucy, there's a new sheriff in town and I'm going to clean up this podcast. You're not going to use a clean up. Some Sarah Smith wipes, boom, boom. So please head over to iTunes.

I tell you what's nice about that Sarah Smith. What malarkey is that people are starting to when they see pictures of Sarah Smith at goods, they kind of tweeting them now and there's pictures of them with their partial washer white. It's very good. Very good. You know when Harriet does the voice over and she does for the partial washer. Don't you think she sounds like Samantha Bond? Who's that? Miss Moneypenny from the last, the Daniel Craig James Bond films and she was in. But she sounds very good. She does. She sounds ace. Who is this amount for Bond? I just told you. Other than that. What else she done? She's done home fires. What's that? The thing that was on ITV at nine o'clock on Sundays and isn't on anywhere. It was the last one last week. You watch ITV. No I had to for the work thing. I know. You snob. No I didn't have to. Yeah but that's the only reason why you work because you're such a snob it's like. ITV is really great on washed. Please please please folks keep those reviews coming because we're so so so close to 200 in the UK iTunes store because we want to be top of the podcast charts before Kenton owes more money than Greece. Ooh that's a good one. I had a bit of a conversation with old Maisha about debt and countries and IMF and you know what it's rather complex. Yeah did you, did you, were you not waving good drowning you kind of get a surgery you think I wish we'd never started about this. Would you like to do the facts of life instead of economics because it was you know you know it's very easy for me to go out for tangents and especially it's very easy for me to talk about things which I don't really have any real knowledge of talking about them as well but boy you know boy did I tie myself up in knots with that one but it's all it is a complex business isn't it. I like it when their expression changes from vaguely interested to sort of pitting when they realize that you've you know you've gone way out of your depth the water is now closing over your head and you end up saying look just google it google it and then come back and tell me what it says because I don't know. Yeah I will do and I'm remembering that you still haven't arranged a time to have a drink with me but you know I'm not going to you know ask you again because it's obviously something you just don't want to do. I do want to. Well then you'd like come up with a date. I will. Oh did you like the tunes from my bath? Yeah I don't think I did I don't think I got but I heard the Sebastian Telier was that more after that? Yes you're numpy. Oops I don't think I've finished this thing now. Yeah you also got bored.
