Underground, over ground, The Wombling free The Wambles of Wimbledon, common, are we? Oh, I'm seven minutes into your podcast this morning. I've had to pull over. I was laughing so much. Your wit this morning, you are on it, and Mark is not in the mood.

disease. The Kate Bush comment had me in hysterics and then I knew what was coming when you said about Wimbledon. Absolutely hysterical. You have absolutely made my morning. Thank you. There was something else I was going to say and I can't remember. Oh yeah. Try skin so soft from Avon for Mozzes. It's really nice on the skin and it does. It doesn't always work but most of the time it works. I'm a football mum so I'm always out with the Mozzes basically. So give it a go. Anyway, I will carry on listening and have a good day. Take care. Lots of love. Bye.

Thank you, Caroline. I hope everyone is having a fantastic summer holiday. Kids are off school. Are you loving it? Are you wishing September the 4th was here or the 5th? Welcome to Life of Nat. Welcome to Scraping the Barrel. You're right, sweetheart?

I think so, yeah. Caroline was loving a pod of... I mean, it's a late message, but because we had the... It's a bit late. Wimbledon. What's this for 20206? Oh, it's because we had the scraping the ice cream barrel. Yeah.

And that was sort of a spesh. Okay. So I don't like to miss. Surely it should have been scraping the ice cream tub. Miss the trick there, didn't you? Well, it's not scraping the tub. Sorry? Our pod is not called scraping the tub.

No, I know. But because it was about ice cream. No. One might use some artistic licence and call it. it's scraping the ice cream tub, which I think actually, to be honest, for a spur of a moment idea, isn't a bad one? I've had worse. You have had worse. A lot worse. Are you a little bit kicking yourself? You've not done that now? No, not really. You sure? Because I like scraping the barrel and I like to put things into the barrel. Okay, I might take a demo anyway.

I'll go for it. Yeah. So anyway, I don't like to miss out on great voice notes and that was a great one. So thank you, Caroline. Yeah, thanks, Caroline. I'll cheer up It's been cheer up What is your problem? I've not got a problem It may be another one of those Caroline by the sounds of it

But it Warns me up when the When the listeners say Oh he sounds really miserable And really Whatever it is Well you're doing a cracking job today Well it's put me in a base

Actually like a self-fulfilling prophecy Because it put me in a bad mood So yeah I am in a bad mood actually legitimately for this one. I wasn't in a bad mood for that one. I just never heard of Kate Bush. How can you not know Kate Bush? Kate Bush sounds like Brendan's mum.

I beg your pardon? Cheryl, Brendan's mum, used to sound like Kate Bush. What, she sang? She sang? No, they've got a very similar voice. If Cheryl was to sing, he would sound like Kate Bush. Are you telling me that Cheryl sounds like Kate Bush?

When she's talking. Yes. Oh, and I need to meet this woman. You met Brendan's mum? I know, but briefly, I feel like I need to be in a room with her for a couple of hours. There are certain songs that Kate Bush has done, and you think that could be Brendan's mum singing. Are you saying she's...

Now, you're doing a really bad impersonation. And you're now suggesting that's a caricature of Cheryl, but it's not, that's not fair. Fair enough. Talking of music Wimbledon was about two months ago Well I'll tell you what was a month ago Yeah Oasis But I haven't had a chance to talk about it

How brilliant was Oasis That was right For two miserable scousers I mean they could have smiled Oh my God But they barely spoke I mean they wandered on Miserable as sin

I can't believe you're saying this One bloke What's his name Which is the one that kept going off? Kept wandering off. One bloke. Liam? Liam kept wandering off halfway through

because Noel's singing something or it's Noel's song. So Liam just walked off the stage. Yeah. Disappears off for about half an hour. Absolutely. Wonders back. Sorry.

It's not, the effort was appalling. You do not mean that. I just think if people are paying a lot of money to go to that. What I'm going to tell you is you are going to be ridiculed because you actually went and that's what you're saying

No, no, no, I'm being honest It's crazy I am being honest So seriously It's probably the best gig I've ever been to Oh fuck me Don't swear

Again, no need to do that You've just completely Is it? Because he's a legend No, no no no No, no no The guy's a legend No listen

The music's amazing Nothing wrong with that the whole thing's quite sort of iconic it touches everyone's heart because it reminds them of a period of time in their life wasn't it incredible the people around us

it was fantastic amazing atmosphere it was absolutely brilliant all I'm saying is the two of them is theatre all of this I don't speak to him I don't do it

so you and I have said for years they'll get back together and do a comeback tour We've all said it. Everyone knows it. It's not rocket science. It's all pretty much planned.

It's a bit like a TV series being rested, isn't it? You have a really popular series, and then they stop it, and then it comes back five years later, and everyone wants to watch it. No, I disagree with you. It's the same thing. I have to say that I think there has been a family feud that has been repaired through this, and they are, you can tell by... Well, they didn't look very happy,

because they only patted each other for about two seconds at the end of it. The bloke doesn't even stand. and support his brother when he's singing his own song goes off. What's he going to do when he's singing his own song? What did he used to do when he was... I think he went off. It doesn't need to be there. He doesn't play an instrument. He's a singer.

So if he's not a singer, he goes off. He plays a tambourine. And at the same time, he's got quite a weird thing going on with a tambourine, balancing it on the microphone. And he puts it on his head. Great. Very odd, babe, yeah. I loved it. I loved every single millisecond of it.

It was a brilliant. gig. It was a brilliant. And they are brilliant. They're not miserable. For anyone going to see the concert who's looking forward to it somewhere else, it'll be the best night of your life.

And those two are, as we all say in Oasis Land, biblical. All I ask is one thing. Very easy to take the side of Natalie, generally speaking, it's fair enough. People listen to this podcast because it's your podcast. They're on your side.

Yeah. So very often, I will get messages or you get messages in their side of you. Yeah. There will be people listening to this who are big Oasis fans, who have been to the concerts. Not as big as me. And all I ask is if you genuinely are a big Oasis fan, I've got one question for you. Take in the whole thing. I bet you had a best time.

I bet you thought it was the best atmosphere. It was a brilliant gig, which it was. I think it was. And I'm not even their biggest fans, but it was fantastic. It was brilliant night out. But please, be honest with yourselves. Do you think that they, not the band, not the production value?

Not talking about anything to do with that. That was all absolutely brilliant. But could the two of them have put in a little bit more, effort and been a little bit happier to have been there. No. That is my honest question and I think you should answer it honestly. That's fair enough, but no. Well, you're going to say that because you're obsessed to him.

They're Liam. They do what they do. And it is amazing. But there you go. Two views, O-7-8, 2019-19. Those tickets, I know I've said it before, but thank you, Jen. Jen, I can't repay you. I've text you, I've voiced you, I've sent you videos, I've spoke to you about it. But that is possibly the best present I've ever had in my life.

Incredible. Just absolutely amazing. But I loved it. And if anybody's going in any other part of the world or has got tickets for September, for their gig in September, you are going to have the night of your life, the time of your life. And the nostalgia it brought to me. And I think that's a big, big thing.

Well, that was the word I was looking for, nostalgia. You stand there. And for me, I just went, I can't believe. that I'm here again since when, since their last concert and all that time has passed

and I still know every word to every song I still love them as much but I'm a grown adult now and times moved on and just for those hours you're just in that moment again and it's just incredible. I've got a question for you.

Yeah. If they hadn't broken up Yeah And they'd continued Yeah Would you have gone to that concert? Yes I would have continued to see them

You'd gone regularly You'd have regularly gone to see them Yeah absolutely Okay Definitely But there you go Going on holiday tomorrow Aren't we

Yeah we are yeah And literally Just this minute Sort of finished Getting everything ready It's quite tedious I can't wait though We've got to be up at 4.15

latest And it's 10 o'clock I mean it's early for a pod for us Early Yeah But I did want to be doing this an hour ago Yeah Well it's fine

It doesn't matter It doesn't matter of being tired in the morning Does it? But you also want to be a bit tired in the morning But you sort of want to snooze in the cab It's 4 o'clock in the morning I don't really want to wake up thinking Right

I've got I'm going to put Oasis on full blast The whole way to Heathrow Okay, well I'll put my headphones in Yeah No problem At 4 o'clock in the morning Yeah

Elio might mind Loves it Okay, yeah Isn't it lovely Also when you've got a good cab driver Like I'm being serious about that Because taxis can be so Stressful

When you're getting cabs And they don't know where you live They can't find it Well he hasn't turned up yet Or they're late Yeah but he's always on time any great find from earlier yeah it makes life a lot easier does i'm really looking forward to going on holiday despite the fact i've sort of rushed about today getting packed and then i had a

little reality check and thought you're going on holiday don't moan you did also have two hours in the garden on the railway i did yeah so it wasn't too much rushing about i'd done my packing by then all the whole it was done i'm not having a go no i'm just saying that it's lovely that you've You've had a day off and you've done your bits. Tried to. You went shopping as well. Yes, we went shopping twice. I said that.

You've been quite impressive, actually. I said... Yeah, why did you not get stuck? You were in Brookfield yesterday. What it was was I did say to you, I need to pack, and then go shopping. And yesterday I thought, oh, sorry, I'll just go shopping. So I went shopping, thought I knew what I wanted, went to pack today, stuff I didn't have, some T-shirts don't fit me.

I know, but not great. I have to say, the idea of it. of packing before you go shopping is the maddest thing I've ever heard because you pack when you've got everything

babe I know but I didn't know what I was missing but you just looked through the wardrobe a couple of weeks ago no no chance

so and I had to try everything on today so of course when I was packing I was in my boxes just trying on the trousers shorts shirts

make sure it all fits That was quite a show sorry what was that quite a what show Sorry, the announcement I didn't quite understand

It was quite a show Oh yeah Brilliant So I enjoyed it Okay It's weird You weren't even in there Yeah, I was

Were you watching Was on the bed So yeah So I went to call St Joanie And then that turned into Joni wanting a pair of sandals A pair of flip-flops She wanted a dress

I couldn't believe it I couldn't believe When you came home And you bought all stuff Her bags packed Zipped up Yeah well she had Stuff she wanted

It's quite cute You're a soft touch Well, don't she really, no, she said to me, when we were driving there, she said, I just need some shoes that will slip on and off, because all of the things I've got, I can't get out of the pool and put on something. And I said, well, have you got some crocs? No, I don't like crooks. She doesn't like the bit of the bottom. Fair enough. So she said, yeah, I need some stuff that slipped. I thought, if you haven't got anything, because your mum hasn't bought them for you, fine. Oh, well, I'll buy them for you. I, um, bought her some swim sort of shoes. Right. The ones that are quite close fit. beach she's also got a nice pair of sandals and a pair of trainers which I felt sufficient I didn't want to

buy her any flip flops because she breaks her arm every five minutes so I look forward to that as I was buying them I thought to herself I bet you haven't bought it I actually thought that I don't like her having them oh give over honestly the anxiety that I've experienced over the last two weeks

leading up to our holiday yeah and the relief I've got that she's in bed with no broken bones and that we're going to get on a flight and she's okay. I can't expect, I've got PTSD from last year. But it was quite stressful. It was so stressful that, no, honestly, it's really affected me this year. To the point, listeners, let me tell you, is this really bad?

Joni was actually booked in today to a summer club, 10 till 2, down the road and I've paid for it and I've wasted my 22 pounds which is terrible wasted it because I was so frightened that she'd go to the summer club and hurt herself

and I messaged the lady that run it and I said oh we're just packing and we're really busy and then I thought no don't lie and I messaged her and said actually I'm so frightened that she's going to hurt herself that's why she's not coming

and she completely understand But do you think that's over the top? Should I have let her go to date? I mean, she was fine because she was so excited and we did actually, the day flew by. By the time the hairdresser came and they all had a little trim. I do like a nice trim, a nice hair cut before holiday for the girls. I enjoy that.

So Becky came around, done that, baths, hair wash, packing the cases. So it would have actually been... You've got your rollers in. I have got my roll. You actually look like the photo for the podcast. The one I was going to use and never did. because I look like Grace Dent. Oh, yeah.

Do you know what? I don't even realise that. Yeah. Never used it. Well, you look like that photo? Yes. It's a very strange look. I mean, why have you got rollers in?

I don't even understand what they're for. I like rollers. Do you know what? I haven't had rollers. Becky hasn't been around for a long time. No. And it's lovely to have a blow dry and have your rollers in in the morning.

Pull them all out. Elliot does that. It's brilliant. And Maria. They just wander about if rollers in. But I would actually wear rollers as a hairstyle if I could. I love it. What's really odd is the purpose of the rollers is to make your hair look really good.

Yeah. Which lasts for about what, a day? Yeah, not long. Okay. So in order to achieve that, you spend a whole day wandering about, looking like that. Yeah, but I enjoy the rollers in, though. Okay. I think I suit the rollers.

I wish that the roller, if I could get, I might get some brown rollers. No, but genuinely, I would wear my hair, I would go out like this. I enjoy my, it's almost kind of a, the old curl, you know, in the olden days. It looks like you've got rollers in. Well, I know it does at the moment. It's not a style, is it? Yeah, but if I could do a style like this, I would have it. What, incorporating rollers?

No, even not, even large pin curls, maybe. Not that you know where they are. I've got to say, I find it very odd. Well, that's fun. know, they're each to their own. It's a little treat. You're going to sleep with those? I am.

Don't sleep very well in them, though. Well, I wonder why that is. Is it because you can't move your head? Well, they are called sleep rollers, but it's bullshit. Pardon? Sleep rollers? Yeah, they're sleep ones because they're soft. Oh, give over.

Yeah, I know. But when, again, when you're going away, it's actually quite good to be a bit uncomfortable. Because when the alarm does go off at 4.15, you want to get up. Because you've had enough of them. All right, okay So I will have hair that's nice for the airport Brilliant

On the plane Yeah And then by that time By the time you woken up on the plane And your head's been all over the place And you've I'd say no in the cab I'd say get into the villa

And then when I'd jump in the pool It's over Well that was well worth the effort Wasn't it? A day There you go A day's worth of prep And a night

Sorry no more than that Like a day and night of prep So when does this podcast go out This goes out on the 11th of August Which I would like to say happy birthday to Sharon Sharon's birthday That is a big Tony's wife Sharon

Tony who you know Tony talks sexy voice and all that His lovely wife It's her birthday today And you almost had her age then Yep Very good is it

No Can't do that 21 again And in five days time, it's Joni's birthday. I know. Wow. Nine. Yeah, it's getting old now.

He's almost in double digits. It's a bit crazy that. Yeah. Should we have another baby? No, trance. No. Absolutely. But does it ever run through your head?

No. No, be honest. Absolutely not. No, you picked up James the other day and took him upstairs. Right. And you were having a little play with him and stuff. Right. And I thought, hmm, wonder if you're thinking about it.

No. definitely not absolutely no chance no I'm the same as you right genuinely I'm babies come around I love them to pieces

yeah well you've got about a million of them so you don't need your own one do you no but Joni getting older is hard isn't it well they do tend to do it don't they well grow

yeah I know shame isn't it I would have liked to have frozen her about two years ago what cry cry genetically to sort of bring her up

again in the future you can't have another you cannot have another child no no I couldn't I couldn't it's impossible like your mum

yes it would be like my mum but I just don't think I've got the strength I don't know how she did it I haven't I'm not tired all the time already I've got no patience

no tolerance she must have been a superhero I just think it's a lot I think it's a lot as you get older brilliant brilliant to people who want to do it who can

do it. That's the time they want to do it. Fantastic. But I don't think I could do it. I couldn't do it well. I could do it, but I wouldn't be a good mother at this age. I'd be too tired, too grumpy. And we need our own time as they grow up. Oh yeah, we've got loads of that. No, we haven't, and we're not going to have it for ages, but imagine having another one. Well, exactly. It's like 10 years wasted. That's horrible. 10 years grace what's that mean

oh god 10 years grace never heard it grace as in 10 years of me not being with you why does it now look like you're doing charades with your hands I don't know because I'm thinking

oh dear there you go I can't wait to be on a beach be by the pool tomorrow Be so good I'm going forward to that I'm a bit worried about my book choices I don't think I've chosen the best

Are you reading the flat share? No Why not? Why have you new join the book club I've got enough books to read, thank you It's a shame It's a real shame That you're not joining Nat's niece's bookworms

Bookworms? Is that your name now? Nat's niece is bookworms Brilliant That's a group No, I'm not in it, no. No, shame. I've got two minutes.

I've got some titles you could read. You mean recommendations? Loads of recommendations, yeah. Go on then. I'll pop them on our group. Okay, great railway disasters. Yep. I've taken out on holiday.

Okay. Adela of a Life. It's another David Jason book. I think it's his 17th book. I think he's written in the last two years. Good luck to him. I've got quite a few. got a lovely book by Henry Greenlee

on building miniature locomotives it's written in the 40s original edition in 1940 something 48 I think it was written I think I'd quite like that but I'm not sure the listeners would I don't know if Elliot would like it

Maria would I think it would be hard to get hold of for people might be quite a lot of money so we're trying to go for paperbacks you know things that are waterstones on off Amazon that's a very good point I hadn't thought of that

Yeah, it's quite a lot for people to source. Why don't you do like, you could do a magazine as well? You could rate a magazine, couldn't you? Like, I don't know, Garden Rail or Heritage Railway or Railway Monthly. Yeah, you carry on with that, love. No? No. Garden Rail's good.

No, I like it. I see you flicking through it in bed and I quite like the look of it. But again, it's not for the pod. It's really not for the pod. OS knock Pardon OS knock Who?

Knock knock who No no O'S knock who? No no O S knock who He wrote the Railway disaster book Just remembered Oh sorry I thought you

Anyone who's interested If anyone's interested Talking of railways Yeah I got a nice Instagram message From Alison Yeah

Who Hello Alison And Alison Listen to the podcast. Yeah. And she saw a photo I put on my at camera underscore mark Instagram account of me. Plugging himself again. Me driving my steam engine.

And Alison said that basically saying that her son adores trains and wanting to visit the railway. And it turns out that Alison, Alison's son, sorry, lives exactly where. where we used to live. So I was able to give her loads of recommendations of places her son might like to visit. And we've had a nice little exchange on there. But she was very complimentary about the podcast. Well, that's very kind of you too.

And I've given her like a full list of, because there's many, if you think about it, places she could go. Oh, yeah. Including that little railway club that was like a two-minute walk from where we lived. Oh, Broxbourne. And I said, oh, well, you're probably aware of this one.

Oh, lovely. Was she? She was, yeah. Oh, good. And we've got a message from Chloe that I'd like to read to you since the ice cream frenzy. Chloe said, please can you bring this up as a discussion sometime, please? Where the bloody hell do I find an Arctic role? I have searched everywhere and I cannot find them anywhere.

Please can you put a plea out to your listeners urgently searching for an Arctic role? also what is your favourite classic frozen dessert I think we know that Chloe for markets of Vianetta for me it is a little bit up market and a bit Ponzi I'm really sorry but I used to go to the Ivy quite a lot

and they do a dish maybe they still do it and I'm in the Ivy not the chain now but the one in West Street which was sort of the big sort of Ponzi Ivy if you like and they did frozen berries with hot white chocolate poured over the top and for me that's my favourite I suppose it ain't really a frozen dessert though is it I would have to go for some sort of M&S collection

cherry gatto at Christmas can't beat it I love anything with a cherry and a bit of dark chocolate they are quite hard to come by the Arctic rolls Mark's done a little bit of research But BBC good food Yeah No no no she don't want to make one

She doesn't want to make one They're really easy to make one She wants to buy one She said it in capital letters She's searching for an Arctic role Okay In capitals Make it

Go on BBC good food It's easy She doesn't A bit of ice cream But she might not want to do that She wants to buy one Okay But no you're right

Tesco used to do them Tesco have stopped selling them Great shout at I'll do you all It's a great, it's a great dessert It's no maxi jog But, you know I don't like any of your ice creams

At all What do you mean any of my ice cream? I'm just not an ice cream person Especially not a biscuit on the bottom Any of them Maxi Bonds Maxi Chops choppy bonds You like a sorbet

That's not an ice cream it's a sorbate and it was fantastic. I'm just not an ice cream fan. What are we going to do about those ice creams? Because we need to somehow get more of them. I need them available, like in the freezer. What am I going to do? We need to get new forest ice creams.

I've had to think about it. Yeah. I'm going to talk to Blue Diamond. Yes. Who own Van Hakes. Yeah. And they need to do something where they stock them. Well, they own Harlow Garden Centre.

Well, it's the perfect place, isn't it? Not a bad shout that. That's what I'm going to get onto it. Yeah. I was thinking about, I could start selling them, become like an agent for them or something. You're going to be an ice cream seller. Only to eat them, but I mean, I could do it as a sideline.

I cannot wait for Naomi's picture of you selling these. She's already done it. I was in the back of an ice cream van. No, this is going to be better. I can't wait. Or she'll just change the text on the ice cream. Except the challenge. Except the challenge, Neo.

Jesus Christ. An ice cream seller now. On that, I'm frigman I thought I was a couple of weeks behind you I thought you were on about June this year July this year No, I'm a whole year late

I can't believe I'm a whole year late I'm absolutely devastated I just don't know I want to be up with you now I want to know what's going on now and be able to participate in your pod now bloody hell man why have I only just found you

I'm fringman through men This is how much of talking to a best friend you make people feel because I don't think I've ever told you my name and where I'm from. So my name is Andrea. I'm from South Wales,

Martha Gidville in South Wales. I'm leaving your voice thoughts as if you're one of my mates. Like, you got a girl, you got it. It's just so natural. Love it. Love it anyway, even if I have got a year to catch up on. Isn't it lovely when you hear someone's found

it. That's really nice. And she's absolute character. Thank you, Andrea. We worked out, didn't we? When we did our 100th episode, sorry. Was it the 100th episode or was it the year?

The year, I think, yeah. We did the year. We worked out, oh, sorry. Emma worked out how long it would take to listen to it all. Remember, we worked out and you could walk to John O'Grote and walk back again or something, didn't?

Something like that, yeah. So to be fair, you could have a wander up to London, couldn't you? Go for a stroll. he'd be up to speed just do a day of you fancy that Andrew

go for it I mean what are you talking today are you tired a little bit it's unbelievable sorry who did someone else was speak then what was that

what was that noise it was just a sort of thing that is very strange sorry I really love it when I hear

that someone's found the pod but it must be quite annoying to be so behind I was like that with Chatterbix But you couldn't possibly listen to a Mormon country No I sort of dipped in to a few canals

Yeah you couldn't do that You can now work somewhere of you But it is hard It's hard to keep up Oh go Harvey Yeah Just message me on Instagram Saying you love it really

And your ones are the best Oh I've got a fan That's nice Amazing I've packed my fan in my bag Laura Conway give it the rest you love it really

that's another one she's seen through it a little bit sorry you were saying your fan you've packed your fan you said fans have you got a fan no but you've pat one I'm it's nervous energy I'm shaking on my chair don't point and look at me with you I can hear it it's like for a dog in the room

there's a bit of an exaggeration you do love it really I do enjoy it I'm not sure about tonight though I Because, you know, it's been quite a busy day Something else I think we should have a quick chat about Which is very exciting

Is it an ice cream? By the time this comes out There would have been two Cooking with the Stars episodes On the telly Have you been voted out yet? Would that have happened? No Right

Still in it then I am Very good That was fun now I quite enjoyed going to meet you at a hotel. It was good fun, wasn't it, darling? Sitting of all the chefs. We had a really good time, didn't we?

Yeah, it was nice that. Oh, yeah. I mean, we did have a good time. No, when you came? For about an hour, yeah. But when you came up, we did enjoy it, didn't we? Yeah, it was good. I'm so happy that everyone's enjoying it so much.

Everyone seems very excited for the show. And by now, I know you'll all be enjoying it, and I hope that you're our team, Nat and Tony. Honestly, that man is an absolute legend. We had such good times and I cannot wait to tell you more about the experience over the next few weeks because honestly it's a dream come true doing it. A lot of people are messaging me. Yeah.

Vicky, Susan. Yeah. Go ahead. Oh, you love doing it really. Yeah, because I... It's all about this Instagram post I did. Yeah. Because you've said, not being rude, roped into this nonsense again.

I mean, it's the same message from lots of different people. Very interesting. Like the same, you love it really. It's like 20 people have gone off. They all send the same message. No, no, it's just they're right. It's because you do love it. Well, oh.

What are you most looking forward to about a holiday? Not working. But we haven't been working too much anyway. say working, that involves my volunteer job. Yes. That involves, which is a lot of admin. Doing loads at home. A lot.

My two volunteer jobs. Yeah. My actual job is nice to, well, it's been quiet anyway, but, you know, it's like, just nice, just nice being of all three of you, as long as there's no arguments. There's already been an argument about the aeroplane. Who's sitting in? What happened with that? I lost it

They both want to sit next to me on the plane I mean what's wrong with me They're both quite Certain they don't want to sit next to you on the plane That's because I fall asleep and snore for four hours Don't think they were the reasons That wasn't the primary reason given When they were pleading with me

What was the primary reason? I let you ask them I'm not going to No go on I'm not going to tell you No, come on what was it? No What was it?

No I'm saying I'm very happy sitting on my own thanks the plane does something to me anyway as soon as I get on the the weight my head goes so heavy and I'm just asleep anyway

so I'm no fun they should sit together sorry that's the plane is it that does that yes immediately so what happens when you hit the sofa the same thing

the sofa takes off it's at 10,000 V oh no it's where I don't And as soon as I sit down, I'm tired. There was a very interesting thing on Instagram that I saw that said women do sleep more. And what are you doing with your foot? Nothing.

Are you trying to wind me up? No. Why are you fiddling with that? Fiddling with what? Stop it. Just stop fiddling. For the listener, I'm fiddling with the table and nothing else, all right? Because it did sound a bit strange.

Just stop it. I'll put it away now. On Instagram it said that women are much more tired because they have a lot more going on in their brains. That laughs, is it all really? Who wrote that? I'm just saying.

No, seriously. It said research shows. I don't know. By whom? Research by whom? By a man with a great big penis. But we do have a lot more on our heads. Clearly.

You've got 20 more things on your head. I don't know what I've got. But we do. There's a lot more going on. Oh, yeah. Oh, dear. Oh, it's all good fun, isn't it? Oh, yeah.

Really good fun. We have a laugh, don't we? Yeah. What are you most looking forward to on holiday? I am most looking forward to the hammock bed, shown in the pictures of our villa. I'm quite looking forward to laying on a hammock bed. I've never laid on a,

so it's got sort of four strings. It's not a hammock, but it's sort of a floating mattress, shall we say, outside. I think Chris and Christy have got one of Odes in their garden. Well, we haven't, and I've never been on one, and I'm looking forward to reading my book on that bed. All right, okay.

With no disturbances. The kids are going to love it when you're in that. I'm going to be it shoved off. You are going to get... Can you imagine? Yes. Not on minutes piece? No.

I'm quite looking forward to trying to tire the girls out. Yeah. Get them to bed. Yeah. Play a little ballgame, get those to bed. And then sit with you. in the hot tub I don't think there is a hot tub

in the bathroom there's a hot tub right so we can sit in the hot tab yeah I mean that would be lovely when it's 42 degrees in the hot tub darling why does everybody keep saying where we're going

is going to be extreme heat because it says it on the weather forecast no it doesn't it doesn't say that all right okay it's perfect at 30 I will remind you of that in 24 hours time when all I'm hearing about is how hot it is.

Yeah, well, I know. Okay, I'll remind you of that going... I've got some lovely, flowy dresses. Right. I've got a pair of flip-flops, loads of dresses. As has Joanie. I'm not going to do my hair when I'm away. Hair is going to have a conditioning mask on it in a bun

because it'll be too hot. And I've succumbed to that. So it'll be fine. By the way, whilst we're away, what happens with our bin collection? what a what a conversation it's really important guys i'm being serious for everyone listening we've got a bit of a problem the bins are changing where we live that doesn't happen while we're away though it doesn't no but the bins are changing and it's it's giving me quite a lot

of anxiety it's really simple right i'll describe it to go on because i still don't know the days of the week darling i'm really at the moment i'll explain to explain that at the moment what have we Got. Okay. It's really simple. Week one, non-recyclable waste. Yep. Week two, recycling waste and the green bin. Garden. Garden bin.

Yep. And then that alternate weeks, that rinse and repeat, track the entire year. Thursday, Thursday, Thursday. So the new setup, it's reasonably straightforward. Okay. Okay. So our black bin is our non-

Non-recyclable bin. Correct. Okay. As of two weeks' time, the black bin becomes the mixed recycling bin. So I can put in there bottles, glass, cardboard, paper. Correct. That goes out on a Tuesday. I don't think you're correct though, darling.

Because there's one bin that doesn't have glass in it as well. Isn't it just cardboard? No. That's our blue one. bin, which becomes the cardboard waste. So, yeah, I was correct. That goes out on a Tuesday. So there is a blue bin just for cardboard and paper.

I can't believe we're doing this as an actual... Is that correct? Correct. And then our purple bin... Yeah. ...becomes the general waste bin. What goes in there? General waste.

Non-recyclable. So food and all of that? Yeah, yeah. But they made it really easy. So, for example, I thought we had a caddy for the food. There is also a caddy which we haven't yet been supplied with. So what we've gone from is what I first described, the new arrangement is this. First week, black-lidded bin mixed recycling.

What does that? Second week, blue-lid, cardboard waste only, on a Tuesday. Third week, purple-lid, general non-recyclable waste. on a Tuesday, and on the Thursday, the garden waste goes out. So there are three different weeks, and I don't even ask me when the food caddy goes out. If you go out, and if you have to go away, we're fucked. All the rubbish is going to stay there. The whole thing is a joke.

How are we ever going to know what bins put out? We're going to just have to follow them. It's mental. None of them know. They've all said. This is madness. Three bins plus a food. A food caddy.

When does the food caddy go out? I've met people in the street. They've been on the phone to the council. No, no. It's people going mad. It's mad. You want to see the Facebook group. It's mad, Randy.

Madness. I mean, it's got a bit much. However, all I'm going to say is all they're trying to do is make people recycle more. So there you go. Nothing wrong with that. That's all they're trying to do. Nothing with that. But I'll remind you of that when our non-recyclable waste has been sitting there for three weeks.

It's terrible. That is really bad. and the council tax bill... When Elya comes around and drops one of James's nappies in and the bin's just been collected, three weeks that thing's going to be stewing in there. Oh! That can't be happening.

Madness. And let's not even go there on the fact we still haven't got our purple-lid bin. Oh, I know. What is going on? Everyone up the road's got it. They've just missed us. It's madness.

They've missed us. Oh, dear. But that was an exciting little segment of a podcast for you. I think people will be really interested because bins are a big thing in people's lives. Well, they are on yours, as parodied in Morgana. Just putting the bin's hair, ain't I? Right, on that note, it's 50 minutes-ish, and we need to get up at 4 o'clock in the morning, my love. By the time Emma's finished with it, she might just scrape 12 minutes together, yeah.
