lockers left what yeah it's happened to me that doesn't happen in little wolfham stowe so everyone get down um see you there a little okay my next one you said a good thing in it yeah so should i say a good thing as well because that's sort of icky oh we can do we can go we can go to slicks all right um what's called slicks we're calling it slicks of 20 x x no i don't want to do it no more i'll do the other thing it and uh uh pics pics ah yeah pics oh pics self checkouts the more the merrier self checkouts everywhere has made life so easy but i do hate when they try to act up and then you've got a way and for the lady to come and help you. Oh, yeah. But I'm all for self-checkouts. I feel like such a nitty when I'm stood there like, this is my fucking cabbage tint scan. And it's like when you're trying to get their attention, you know they're busy.

Yeah. I don't know if you've ever been like a waitress and the most annoying thing is when you bring all your food over and then you're like, oh, actually, we've got something, something. Yeah. What am I even saying? I just don't even know. You were a waitress?

I'm talking shit. I don't know. So you weren't a waitress? I was a waitress. Cut that. Cut that. Cut that. Yeah, my next thing is actually a wing stop.

Is that an ick? No, my next pick of the year is wing stop. Really? I fucking love a wing stop. I'm sorry. That's an ick for me. I think the smell puts me off. Oh my God. god yeah like walking

past it i just i had it for the first time on a solo date it was like 11 p.m on saturday night and i was like i'm gonna trick myself what did you get drunk i said absolutely drunk i just got like these little chicken bites and chips and it was the best thing i've ever put in my mouth in the whole entire world was it like louisiana louisiana something along that sort yeah so my pick of the year food wise is wing stop no my pick of the year, food-wise, is Wingstop. No, my pick of the year, food-wise, has to be Vapiano's. I'm falling in love with Italian food.

Yeah. I mean, Vapiano's just the basics, you know, pasta, pizza. Yeah. In that buffet, you have to serve yourself, though. No, it's not a buffet. I wish it was. Oh.

Maybe if it was, then I'd probably be adding on more weight than i did this this year but but yeah yeah i feel like i've enjoyed i've enjoyed food this year actually that's nice yeah i've actually enjoyed food this year yeah one of my actually interesting one of my loves of the year is actually my body but not in the sense of like i'm sorry not there yet appreciating my body but i'm actually less allergic to things than i was the year before that's amazing i've grown up for like 27 years being deathly allergic of animals like i would i'd like stop breathing basically when i was around a cat with long hair yeah and let me just say i've been around a cat just now you wouldn't even know and you're fine

yeah and i went traveling and i feel like it's built up my immune system i'm telling you get out of the uk get out it's the best thing to do yeah the air in this in this london is an ick um and a pick is the air elsewhere leaving heathrow stansard gatwick luton yeah it's the best pick you've ever do this year i can't agree more christian well i'm doing well i love that for you thank you and with body as well I feel like where that is your pick, I've got an ick because I've realised, you know how we say that I'm allergic to mushrooms? I'm actually not.

I just don't like the way mushrooms look. But I've actually picked up a new allergy this year. And I'm actually allergic to coriander. Oh, you just don't like that. You're not allergic to it. I'm allergic to it. Fucking hell. Right.

Next on my list is, I loved the cinema. I loved the cinema this year. I loved Barbie. I loved Oppenheimer. I loved Killers of the Flower Moon. I loved Wonka. And I fucking loved Salt Burn.

I could die on a throne to that film. Really? What's that mean? So you spent a lot of time in the cinema this year? I love spending time in the cinema. Really? Yeah. Wow. You've probably never seen a single film there have you no i um okay i'm one of them i need to go to cinema in the morning because i am where in the morning where do you have to go to the cinema in the morning that's a massive ick 11 a.m screening

that's for mums and babies do you know why because I've got a tendency to sleep like I'll just sleep in there it's nice and dark and cosy you're paying Cineworld's fucking £12 ticket price to go have a nap

I'm actually not what when you've got friends that are working easy yeah that is a pick so that is a pick

but I don't really enjoy that experience because I just fall asleep that's so fair I tend not to go alright nice i'm gonna go a bit soppy with one of my picks of the year okay love i love love this year so you'll get that next year that can be in your 2020 yeah that's a big ick for me because men men have been horrible horrible the nice guys are not nice guys they have they actually have knives behind their

backs um yeah love for me right now is love for thyself and thyself only love um until somebody decides to come and change that for me but as of now fuck love fuck love okay well i like my new boyfriend no i'm sorry i love that odd because she's yeah guys she's shiny and she's glowing i love it yeah i think an ick for me which has literally i think ruined my um my year yeah would be um adulting the scam of adulting um cheating adulting adulting oh adult oh i thought you meant like adultery sorry no wait am i saying it right yeah no that's right adulting it's just the things that you've had to pay for um i got into a car accident this year and that honestly literally ruined my whole year. It kills the vibes, doesn't it?

It does, yeah. Oh, God. All that insurance shit. Yep. Okay. So that's been an ick for me. All right. I've got some more icks of mine.

Can I go through them? Let's go. What I've hated this year, Christy, is the vape epidemic. I'm sick. I'm sick and tired of seeing, especially young people, puffing on the fucking those

little fucking ombre things of plastic yeah it's like kids that didn't even have a addiction to smoking yeah just vaping i'm sorry to be that person i'm sorry i'm sorry but in years time it's going to come out all this research because they've had time to do it and it's going to show it's really bad for you do you know it kind of like throws me off because you'll be walking down the road right and somebody walks past you and then all of a sudden you're smelling strawberry oh yeah blueberries i'm thinking what the fuck is that it's like oh it's a vape i don't get it like i'd rather just have like a strawberry a strawberry jam sponge or something it's not puff on a usb stick of that flavor it's like a gel pen what other x um another oh my god let me hear it

north sea tiktok are you on it north sea yo ho yo fuck me it's all i hear it's all that's coming out my phone for about seven to nine p.m at night not me i've developed phobias that i didn't even know or care about before i saw this fucking side of tiktok yeah have you never seen it no it's basically like where the oil rigs and stuff things in the middle of the sea are and like they'll show videos of like all the water rushing into like this big shit oh or like someone cleaning barnacles i see that on youtube so it comes up on my youtube shorts more than it does my tiktok but i'm not gonna lie i kind of i'm quite interested in those type of really it's just the wonders of the world like

really yeah nature's that seems like something you don't want to mess with and i think that's my my fear if i get stuck in that i'm just gonna hear that fucking yo that's gonna be the last thing i hear before i die i think no no no but yeah i don't mind them videos sure i don't mind them at all nice any more x any more x i don't i think i've had a yeah i don't think my ex have that you know engraved this year no they're just little things that have i think the main one for me basically is the relationships right no luck in that industry um i'm 30 next year guys so hopefully a pick for next year will be engagement ring you know um whoever that person is um but i guess i'm just a pick for me is seeing the end of the year sure yeah that's a good way of

yeah and don't be sad that it's over no happy that it happens yeah i think everything's yeah everything's a learning curve and then we go again next year yeah i can't wait i can't wait to do this whole thing over again yeah well we want to hear your icks and picks please of 2023 um that was a pretty interesting wrap yeah not too bad in the grand scheme of things of course not and as always if you enjoyed this episode make sure you guys like share comment and subscribe
