Stone Clearing with Richard Herring
Go, go, go, go, go, come here, come here
Oh, digger, right!
I think it's Chapter 75 today
It's the, er, what are we on?
Let's have a look
It's quite early
I've been up since about 3, it's the 17th of September
It's 7.30pmam
Ante-Maridian, not Potion-Maridian
And we're heading out onto the Spotion
Will, the farmer, have harvested his crop of beets this week
I mean, I don't think so, I was here last night
And, er, it seems I'm likely to have done it overnight
So, I don't want to spoil the, er, the wonderful jet we got on time
What a time to start talking
I've been up since, with my sentence, about 5.45pm
So, we'll get a little dog walk out of the way before school
But, you know, there's something else that goes on when we do the dog walk
Isn't there that no one else knows about, except you and me
It's our secret, don't tell anyone
It's own clearing, hooray!
Wolfie's been away right by the after a long way again
Which, er, I'm not sure the gods will appreciate
Let's get them an offering
Wolfie, come here, I'll let you off, you dick
You fucking dick
It's hard to find stones around here, there's so much weedage
But there's someone
How it goes
Just a tiny offering has to be done
Ye alpha and omega gods must be appeased
Give them a stone when you arrive and you leave
For if you do not, your day foul be cursed
And everyone else will see you in a hearse
That is the medieval Roman Russians
I'm surprised they had hearses back in those days
Thought they just chucked you in a pit
But there you go, you learn something from studying the ancient texts
And the ancient wisdoms
I've done a live stone clear this week
If you want to go to YouTube or Twitch to watch that video
During the most weeks
But I think most of you will find it a bit prosaic
And a bit pedestrian
There's some good clearing going on here
Wolfie's doing a poo out in the field
Just far out enough that it's no longer my concern
I cannot trespass into that stotion
And I never would
Wink wink, hassle off
David, hassle off if you're listening
Little bit of code there in case the farmers have done a poo
Or is that weed high, it's a good poo
And just have a look at it
And pick up a stone very near it
That can come off
Like Wolfie was letting me know
There was a stone there
That'll just get churned up and mix in with the beets
And they're finally harvested
And when you eat your beets
You'll be having a mouthful of Wolfie's feces
And that's why you're buying beets
And I know you won't be disappointed
So it's a lovely morning
The sky is very blue
There's some haze over to my left
Which I think is which direction is that
I should know very soon
Sort of southwards
The sun's coming up from the area
The sun's coming up
If you know where that is
That's that direction
The sun is good
I'd say six inches above the hillside
As I look at it
I just hold up my finger
I mean four inches if I may
Sort of the breadth of my hand
Above the lands now
Playing this flying right towards the sun
I don't know if you've seen it
Fucking idiot
It's gonna kid everyone on board
So really it's a waiting game at the moment
This is the worst time to be a stone clearer
But very soon it'll be the best time
Or one of the best times to be a stone clearer
We've had Stone Easter
The Stone Harvest Festival
Is possibly even a bigger deal
Just because of the long periods of time
It will have been since you've been
Properly able to get in and pick up some stones
So just go have a nice one there
Can I pry that out of my work
I'm prized it out with my fingers
In like the olden days
There's lots of different ways to clear stones
If you are back in the Kickstarter
You will soon be getting a booklet
Explaining
Cognites and history
All sorts of things
It's amazing what you can pack into
16 pages
If you're interested in snooker
Or even if you're not
Then there is a new Kickstarter
at us at code.uk
That's Kickstarter
Which is an amazing reward
All the profits of which are going to help live comedy
If we hit our target
Which we had a very good start
And it always does
It would be nice to well exceed the target
As the money is not coming to us for once
I don't know
It would be nice to well exceed the target
As the money is coming to us for once
But it's for
It's to help live comedy clubs
Keep going
And we'll do what we can
With whatever we make
And we'll cost a little bit
To make the rewards and stuff
So it's not all going to
What the hell are you doing? Come here
Silly little cheeky monkey
Trying to go through someone's gate
But I want to move on
We're on chapter 75
Strum bones
And
I think
I hope we are
Otherwise I'm going to look an idiot
And
Can the corner feel
It's a little stone there
There aren't many stones down here
Visible
There's a lot of grass down here
And it's hard to find anything
That's been redacted
I think it's time to move on
To some
A bit more serious stone clearing techniques
I think most of you
Have probably picked up the basics by now
Because you can see some grass
Just the real secrets
That take you from
Apprentice
To the present
In the United States
In stone clearing
Which I very much view myself as
I've been doing this for two years now
Which is a lifetime
And it's gone clear for eight years
Not many of us
Get to
Clear for that long
Before we were caught
By the proponent for party
There was a very exciting action
With the lady and the mobility scooter
On the video
You might want to watch
Just for that
I had to hide in the wood
A lot of people complaining about the video quality
Don't get so many of those
About the audio anymore
We did out those
Cricks
He demands the audio
Sounds good
In the wind
No one around
We're a bit early
I think for most of the
Inhabitants
This particular shire
Speaking of the cobblestones
Just
Probably a meter inside
Filled
Just picking up the scurry
And that is a word for curry
Of course in ancient times
It would have been called
It all has to go
And it is this exciting point
Of the terrifying point really
It's bewildering time of year
When you're aware that
The ground is soon going to get churned up
The stones that are on top of the ground
You should have cleared this year
Should have cleared the lot this year
I'm really in the anticipation of the next lot
But they're going to be largely buried again
So there's a responsibility to get as many
Of these stones out as you can before
They come hidden once again
And
It's slightly annoying
A lot of the beaks have been
Knocked over falling out of the ground
And look like stones
And you waste your time picking up a beat
And
That could have been a stone you cleared there
But
Luckily
Getting quite good at seeing the difference
Between a green beat
And
Usually brown
Like cold stone
But sometimes there
Is a bit of crossover
Look out for that
If you're clearing a field of beaks
Not all of you will be
First time I've had to do it
I'll walk as excited about this stone
Going up down
You're never going to get it
Throw it into the bush
And the bird flew away
If I can throw that stone
To make
The rook fly
Then your day
Shall go
And you shall cross the sky
And then
He shall clear
Off the tone
If you scare a rook
He will never be alone
That's an ancient
I've been studying the ancient texts
Partly for the
For the booklet
Just trying to get as much wisdom in there as possible
Wobby, come here
Come on
Dog
There you are
Pink
Glad, stone clearer
So it's Stone Starzy
Woman
Sprightly Middle-aged lady
Maybe about my age
Maybe a bit older
Crossing the field at a pace
I didn't see her
Even though she was wearing pink
This is how they get you
A hedgerow be ye friend
For the phone clearer
Can hide
So many things inside
That's another one I saw this week
A lot of them feel like quite imprised in nature
A lot of these
But I'm sure the ancient
That's a bit like the watcher's finger
Which is Nicodonics goodness
That's going into the metals
I think they have to rework these texts
Had to work fast
But it's amazing when you consider
That they were clearing stones
They had maybe a week of life expectancy
And they were managing to get this stuff
Orally transmitted
There was a lot of oral
Transmission going on in those days
Seeing ring and tree
Having a few problems with my dog leads
For some reason
Throwing a stone at the seeing ring and tree
Nothing has happened
Let's go watch her
Sprightly lady has not
What's happened to this?
I think they're back to normal
Right
You know, given that
A lot of those rhymes were
I guess all the bad ones didn't make it through the years
But given the improvisational nature of them
It's pretty amazing how good they are
These for done clearer
Does not have time to think
They must
Just
Clear
No time to eat or drink
No time to write
Ye poetry
Stone clearing
Is all we have to be
That's a pretty good one
Acknowledging the difficulty
Of writing these rhymes
On the hook
That's definitely what you think
It's a fascinating thing if you do start to study
You see the way they used to do things
differently
Naked mainly
Is the main difference
Some things you want to take on board
Some things you think, well, that's a bit much
No wonder you're getting caught
If you're running around naked
It looks hanging out
Or bosoms
Or both
Another stone starts in the distance
I think heading away from my field
Maybe he's policing the next door field
Which is central, I walked past that hall
He actually went on a run this day in my life
Ran this field a little bit
Did you know how well I knew it
But we ran into the next field
And my god, I wish I'd chosen that field
That will be the next one when I've played this one
Unless someone else is clearing it
I don't think they are
It's just the bounty there is unbelievable
There are some people just
A little part of this idea
They're being sneaky very sometimes
Unfortunately their dogs have started
Fighting, so
They've given their position away
Who knows what they've heard
Definitely they're just rambling on
They might mistake me for
A mad person
It's a good technique if you are
Caught in flagrente, as they say
To
Actually see the dog nest like a wolfie
To just pretend you're mad
Wolfie, stay here, good girl
So that's going to slightly scuffle
My
So I was going to transgress all the rules
And clear a few stones from the next field
But that's not going to be possible
We will head across
The diagonal
That guy is coming this way
Interesting, he's just going to play
From the stone starsy
Come on
But he's too far away I think
And they've got difference
Yes it is indeed
The rapid pink lady
Weirdly not gone
Quite as fast as she could have done
Which makes me
Pretty convinced she is a
Stone starzy
But she's on the wrong way now
And while her back's turned
Well that is patch of
I mean where this field is just mainly stone
And clearing off a few
Before the guy comes down the other way
They played pretty well there
Not as well as they did yesterday
Another day before on the
Video shoot where I was really
That was a bad throw
That was a putter throw
One more
That was better
One bouncing into the
Strawberry, almost
Right we're on the diagonal let's see what happens here
Oh another, they are
Popping at the woodwork today
There's another one coming on the top of the field
A bit later I think
But you can see everything I'm doing
I'll have to be careful
Just gather a couple of stones now
Just in case that's my only opportunity
There's all the scree here
A lot of scree
Oh drop one of course remember
If you pick a stone up and drop one
You are obliged
By the rules of stone clearing
If you pick a stone up and less
There is a stone starting to come
You're like a dump wire horde
To save your life
But I can't really
It would be a brave lawyer
Who would argue that
That man in the puffer jacket
Had seen what happened there
Was in any way endangering my life
Endangering more stones along this path than ever
Being across here
Probably six or seven hundred times
Maybe more
In the last two years
And yet still
Even this pathway is not clear to the stones here
Left alone the thirty five acres of land
What's around it
If you can start to lose hope
You can start to think
Will I ever get this done
But you can't think right now
That you have to just think once
If I don't complete my work
Someone else will
One kilometer walked
You're interested
I've probably cleared
Something like twenty stones in that time
Which is not bad going
There's five in my two hands
Right now they're all quite small ones
But they all count
And there's literally no one around now
Don't feel you're right in that
Second corner
That he's behind me heading in a different direction
He's not a worry
But equally
Just the path is visible
Very thick
Beat leaves
Covering nearly everything
I picked up a couple more stones
I've got five in one hand now
That's the maximum any human can have
Any size stone
If you see anyone carrying more than five stones
In a hand if you've seen a photo of that
On the internet that is a doctor's photo
Not possible
My hand is full of these fives
And a little
Little stones on my hands
I have this perfectly normal size
For a grown adult male
So we've all
Got some bounce off it into a little gully
Where I think it will become one day fine
The coke bottle being knocked around there
Hopefully that will be buried soon
We'll manage to hit the actual telegraph pole
From a distance there
That was quite exciting
Good practice for the stone pole later
Of course the telegraph pole is
Bigger target
Divergent pass
I could head straight to the stone pole
For the upcoming memorial
The choice is mine
I'm going to get
Five stones together
For the throw straighter one two three four
So I'm ready to go
In case
There's our scooter lady
Or anyone else
Man is to
Get inside my head
I'm not trying to pick up a couple of those walkies inside
They're not coming, they're going on the pole
Oops, they're not for you
I'm going to try to pick up a couple
For the dominant coming's memorial
One hand full of those five little stones
The other hand free to pick up
More 10 stones in total
I'm trying to carry a
Dog lead with me as well they remember
And another stone star
If he's not going, oh and a guy
I didn't think he was so well colourful
I didn't even see him, he looked right at me
Like a Sasquatch would
That could have been
He's like a chameleon
He's like a chameleon man
Whatever he's passing
He's basically the colour of
The same and I only saw him right
At the last second
He stopped me under a tree
And I believe he's moving on again
Realising I've seen him
Chameleon man
That's a new one
Won't make it into the brochure
Too late for the brochure
So you see a new thing
Every stone clear I can't wait
To list everything I've seen out here
Some people call them hallucinations
Some call them visions
I'm just making the whole thing up
But I can promise you everything I see
I've been perceived by the human eye
Now is that trustworthy
The camera never lies
But what of the human eye
Does it lie
Does it lie
The trousers are falling down a little bit
Maybe they're running at it yesterday
I've done some good
Ran for 50 minutes
Only 6 kilometres
Not fast
But
We're building our way back up again
Four or five years ago I was running
Six or seven miles in that time
So
My fitness has declined
But
I can't pull my trousers up
Because I've got stones in both hands
I want to use my thighs
Pushing out just to keep them up
It's again another problem I've encountered
About that human fear
I'm going to make the
Stone poles
I'm going to dump my five
Stones on the bottom of the can
Man, just pull that
That trousers up a little bit
Here we come, stone pole
Doing a very poor
Hit rate of late
Managed two out of six on the video
I'm going to have to put an extra sneaky one in
And hopefully get halfway
Right, take your time Richard
Wolfie's in the way
Well in the way as well, not out of one
Not out of two, oh it bounced back nearly
But Wolfie tried to grab it out of the air
Not out of three
This is terrible, Wolfie really
Playing goalkeeper here though
Not out of four, this is terrible
And just the last one hits
One out of five
If you can contribute to the Kickstarter
Right now
Or link your Amazon Prime and Twitch Prime accounts
Or gaming, Amazon gaming accounts
And give me your subscription
Or become a monthly badger
Go to site.com or such badgers
You can assuage some of the bad luck
With that one out of five, it's going to give us all
Just money in an envelope
Loaded through my door
Anything will help you
It has to be of monetary value to me
I don't make the rules, I don't like it
I don't agree with it
But that's just the way it is
Heading out to have a little
Hustle of
Just to give you some excitement
I was forced out to do the other day
By a dog and saw some good stones
So
Just going to take a couple off
Those are nice
There's a fair amount of
All smalls really
These are small, medium, medium
I'd say these two
Along the fence they go
Little counts
Everything counts in a small amount
So I'm just going to get mostly on the leading case
There's a stone, there's one coming up behind
They've played very well today
But just slightly
Mis-timed everything I would say
But often that can be a tactic
Lull you into a false sense of security
Bang
Let's take a photo of this
Lovely
Beautiful
Taking a photo of this lovely bearded
Vithal
I think I just stopped
The recording there, I hope so
We haven't lost out on anything
I don't think we have enough
The time is here about right
So that's okay
Come on
I'm paranoid when I put it in my pocket
I stopped it
You never get over that kind of paranoia though right
Because you have to keep putting it back in your pocket
The old stone
Kicked along the path
Saying Rich, come on
Pick me up and chuck me off
And I did
I did exactly what he wanted, they speak to you
Listen to them
Listen to them for terms
It's all in the song that he did right
The one that was to come
Right, no, there's nothing here
Wolves, you can go run free, do a wee
Do a little extra poo if you like
Treat yourself, have a treat
I can't get enough
There you go
So heading down
Down the hill
Another success from Stone Clear
I felt that's a leaf
But I was kicking a stone off the path
But it was a leaf
And it's happened to us all, I think it's a bit of a
Stone clearing observational comedy there
It's not all work, work, work
How he helped, and another
Stone Starzy
Blended in
They're doing very well or he's just appeared out of a gate
I don't know what he's done
Which way is he coming, he is coming this way
Come here, what's over there, got a dog
Look at this, it's quite lumbering
Intimidating figure, this could be it
This could be it, I did predict it would be
Something from the Stone Starzy
This guy looks like Cylon from
Doctor Who, something like that
Where's the puffin' jacket guy from
Before, he doesn't even know a dog
Crazy, he's very, very tall
Just getting a bit out of his hand
Because I thought it was like a rope or something
He was getting out of doing this
Hey girl
Come on down, figure
Just back normal if you
Just normal
Hi
Look to me as if saying
Just back normal to a dog
Was a strange thing to say
But I think I got away with it
And I think that's just the man
Walking around the field on his own without a dog
And that is weird
I hope he's not casing to become
A Stone Clearer for this particular field
Just going to observe him
See if he's stealing anything
If you do see someone else
Casing stones from the field
Obviously
He can't report them to the Stone Starzy
Get rid of the competition
Use the Stone Starzy to your advantage
That's the ditch that welcomes migrants
Two more migrants welcomed there by
Little Richie, I'm just doing my bit
Just doing my bit
Can't call me a hero
I've stopped Brexit
Got Dominic Cummings attacked
Before he was sadly died
And several migrants
Are welcomed
What are you doing?
Nothing
What are you doing to help this country?
Nothing
I've just picked up loads of little stones
Six stones
I've almost had them in one hand
You can only have five in one hand
So put the other in the other hand
Alright, well time for the emails
Thanks for watching
See you next time
Oh
When the mobility scooter lady
Just on the horizon
Everything just slightly out of sync for them today
Thrown by my
My early arrival
Her pink hair
Is glinting in the morning sun
She looks beautiful
Good luck to her
I say she's got wing mirrors to spot
Stone clearers
So let's have a look
Twiggy
Bramble
Twiggy Bramble
I think you may have
I know Twiggy's been in touch before
I'm not sure we've had a Twiggy Bramble before
Nice to
First time
Long time listener
First time emailer
Twiggy
I was wondering Richard
What were you wondering Twiggy
You can't reply it's an email
Could just read it
Find out what you're wondering
Twiggy says
Is it ever okay to eat the stones if you're very hungry
I know the medieval times
People didn't have time to eat or drink
Could they eat the stones
Twiggy
We haven't had many good questions
Recently a lot of the questions
Have recently seemed to have been
People thinking they had to email
And just say whatever came off the top of their head
Which is a great way to write
Aphorisms and wise things
But not a great way to write emails
It is okay to eat the stones
You may be surprised to hear me say that
But there are some conditions obviously
Try not to eat the very sharp ones
Try not to eat the very big ones
But if there's stones
Of cherry size
If they're nice and round
Yeah sure get them down in your tummy
But you must not leave the field
Until you have excreted them
Onto a can
So gobble them up
They will fill your tummy quite nicely
If you are starving hungry
Gobble them down
And then poop them out
You could have one can
Especially that he uses as a toilet
Or you could just poop them on any can
The poo will
I mean if you eat the stones
There won't be much actual fecal matter
That's
If you are having a few leaves
It doesn't matter because that can be washed away
The rain
And eaten by the insects
But the stones cannot be affected
By your digestive tract
It's good to finally have had a proper question
Who would have thought Twiggy Bramble would be the one
Right well we're home now
And I see my family out shit
I'm doing the mechanism of the gate
Still at the table so I'm going to have to go
There we mustn't know what's going on
I will wish you a good year
And
We'll see you on the other side
Let's get this dog some kibble
Basil
Kibble has actually been in touch
Hello darling
To say
Hi
Don't have a question
Nice for you to email in but it's wasting some time
That's it good bye
See you next time
Hi there you all right everyone
And
And
And
And
And
And
And
And
And
And
And
And
And
And
My friend
My pine
You have been listening to Stone Clearer
With me, Rich Turingon and Wolfby the Dog
Plus the chameleon man
The Charity Scooter Lady
That very tall rival Stone Clearer
Lots of people today, it was amazing wasn't it
The music is by Mike Kovgrave
The voice of the betronz is Michael Faheen
him.
Listen to the throats, and they, in turn, file liver
To ye, my friend, my fine friend
