The subject has me intrigued. Simply says tree surgeon. Is she the tree surgeon? Let's find out. Or is it a romantic interest? I think tree surgeon is like, I mean, we don't know what's coming in this letter, but in general, quite a fit job. Yeah. I think the term surgeon is, feels like it's overregging a little bit. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I don't think anyone should be called a surgeon if they're holding a chainsaw.

Yes, I think that's really true. I think it should be more like tree destroyer. That's it! Yeah, yeah, yeah. Destroyer of nature. Yes, or controller of it. Like it is, I did, I, yeah, like I did know a tree surgeon. And I think if you forget him, then there are, like, I think it is like a hot thing.

Alright, so neither of us have ever actually met a hot tree surgeon. No. But the idea of a man working in the woods. It's kind of having some swing from trees as well. Like that's a bit weird. Do they? Yeah, they do. Have you seen it?

No. Okay, maybe I'm making it up. In my head, they're swinging a bit. We've watched George of the Jungle. I think I'm thinking of your go ape bit where you're swinging a bit. I think it kind of does that a bit. Maybe I'm making it up. In my head, they're swinging a bit. We've watched George of the Jungle. I think I'm thinking of your Go Ape bit, where you're swinging a bit. I think it kind of does that a bit. Maybe I'm a tree surgeon. Maybe you should be a tree surgeon.

I would be the worst tree surgeon of all time. I think they swing a little bit like that, don't they? I really don't know. Or the reason I've immediately jumped in and said, that sounds hot, is I just pictured a man just stood in a wood, just stood in a wood. And I pictured a hot man, so I'm like, geez, engines are hot, aren't they? Because they get to be strong to hold their chains up. Strong, they're strong and they're working with their hands and they know about nature

and can probably identify plants and stuff and I think that's really cool. I think we've gone on a tangent here. Hello, me again, Amy Gledhill, but this time I'm with... Not Harriet Kemsley. Whoa! WT, fuck! What's going on? I'm with bloody Ian Smith. Off to Northern News podcast. Yes, a podcast. That's not about the news. Don't worry, single ladies.

No, it's not about the news. It's not about being single. No. It's about the North and all of our stories are about couples. That is not the truth Ian. No, not technically true. It's weird stuff, it's funny stuff that's going on up North that we're reporting back on. Things like, pure evil blackbird named Derek terrorising Yorkshire village and attacking children. Woman in tears after spotting spitting image of dead dog in Bathmat. And we've got special guests.

We're talking about people like Phil Wang, Jessica Knappett, Ed Campbell and Ross Noble who joined us in the studio. Woohoo! Yeah! So that's Northern News starting next Thursday, the 1st of May and then every Thursday after that. Join us.
