The Bugle, audio newspaper for a visual world.

Hello, Bee Euglers! And welcome to issue 4,028 of the Bugle audio newspaper for a visual world with me and ex-Oltman Live in London, City of Roads and Buildings, like most cities, and joining me from Mumbai, a city of even more roads and even more buildings, and suburban trains that have more people in the single carriage than living the whole of New Zealand, it is Anu Vab Pal. Hello Andy, welcome back from Australia. Yeah, I'm back in the correct hemisphere. I mean, you know, just sheer numbers can't be wrong.

I don't know how many more billion people live in the Northern Hemisphere, but we've got a surely take a clue from that. And all as for all the land that has gravitated to North of the equator over time, while there's got to be a reason for that. Watch and learn Australia and New Zealand. Watch and learn. We're definitely in the better hemisphere. And the, in fact, I sometimes wonder whether New Zealand

wasn't Australia's Brexit, you know, whether it didn't break off at some point in time in history and said, hell with it, it's already a shit hemisphere. I don't want to be with you. Well, I guess we'll just have to leave that to the geologists to prove one way or the other. This is bugle 4,028. Coincidentally, the number at which, if you count to it from zero, your chances of winning a game of Heiden's Seek as the Seeker fall below 0.1%. This is also the Bugle for the week beginning Monday, the 15th of May on this day, in the year 908, the three-year-old Constantine VII, son of Emperor Leo VI, the wise, was crowned as co-emperor

of the Byzantine Empire. And it just proves that if you're good enough, you're old enough. I mean, you've just, you've got to give the youngsters their chance at the top level of running a Byzantine Empire. By the standards of the modern world, though, Anuweb, I think a three-year-old emperor would actually be considered unusually grown-up and emotionally advanced for a world leader by 2017 standards. Imperial, Andy. Imperial. He would have gravitas, we've all gravitas than anyone leading the world currently, right?

And the three-year-old would not watch Fox News. The three-year-old would watch all those baby shows that you have in your country and would learn more about global geopolitics, I think. Well, I think the average children's cartoon channel has a higher degree of journalistic integrity than some so-called news channels. Anyway, we are recording on the 12th of May, Friday the 12th and May happy 197th birthday to the one the only Nefertiti of nursing, the Marilyn Monroe of medicine, the Aphrodite of Aftercare, Florence Nightingale. Oh yeah, to mark this occasion.

Oh God, we are offering all bugle listeners the chance to win a hot date with Florence herself by which I mean, you can take your own and you're smooth as chat up lines to the church graveyard at East Wellow in Hampshire, where she's been buried for the last 106 years. And just see what happens, that's all I'm saying, see what happens. As always a section of the bugle is going straight in the bin. This week the Eurovision Song Contest, which is taking place this weekend, yes it's that time of year when the universe's most pointless event comes round again like a pig swimming upstream to mate with a filing cabinet. I just don't know why it happens.

But anyway, the absolute cream of European music, it's amazing this title has never been won in the past by the likes of the Rolling Stones. The small faces Belgian songwiz Jack Braille, the Berliners symphonic orchestra, Vladimir Vysotsky, the Russian Bob Dylan, or more simply, Biob Dylian. Or indeed Elvis Presley, who of course competed for Portugal in 1983 in controversial and highly secretive circumstances. But we review some of the top songs from this year's Eurovision, including Italy's entry from the songstress Salta in Boccia, Boccalonciancini, Ding Dong Dolcei Latte, a cheese-infused pop anthem to a lost youth, followed up to last year's bronze medal-winning

Tuo Prociutto, Mio Amore, Johann Mio Lov, a moving tale of blossoming romance at an undercated picnic. From the hosts, the Ukraine, Bogdania, Klopp Kacchenko, is singing the tunes for the home country with Crimea River, a political take on the classic post-Soviet timber like hit. Switzerland, the Canton cantatas representing

them, Usutruv Lattax, Party C. Mashery, that is officially sanctioned by the Swiss government in its efforts to spread the word about Switzerland's favourable tax and bill and status for external investors. And Britain represented this year by Herbert the Codger, novelty old man who won the popular votes in the competition to be Britain's representative. With his controversial Alzheimer's Care Home Grunge pop hit, where's Doris? Whose Doris brackets are you sure I have a wife?

There is, of course, a new system of voting at Eurovision this year using special cameras in people's televisions with the winner based on the highest percentage of viewers who end their song with a fixed glazed look in their eyes staring into the middle distance thinking, is this truly what we have become? That Eurovision section in the bin. Top story this week, Donald Trump apparently he's a president, he's the president of the United States, which apparently is still a nation.

And the head of the internal security agency of the United States, the Federal Bureau of Investigation had some changes. And apparently Andy, its leader, James Comi, was fired. It appears, if you remember Andy, that during the elections, Comi had come out and said he was investigating Hillary Clinton. It turns out that Trump came out and fired him. And indeed, it appears that while he was investigating Hillary Clinton, Trump was investigating him eight months down the line,

the result is a firing, a firing apparently by a letter handed over from Trump's body guard to the head of the federal Bureau of Investigation. That is awesome. And I think it's a good thing. Yeah, it's all good. Like if you are going to fire the head of the FBI, you better send your bodyguard because everyone in the FBI is a bodyguard. So I think it's about speaking the right language. So I just wanted to know, Andy, how do you feel about this? Does it have any personal impact on you?

Were you indeed being investigated by the comedy division of the FBI? I'm not sure, Antolle, though, you know, I have been secretly listening to many of Donald Trump's press conferences. I do have freely admit that. So maybe they should be investigating me. I mean, it is quite a complicated story, and it's sort of like a box set TV series,

which I've missed a few of the episodes, because I've been busy, and I now just cannot keep up with the f**k plot. It seems almost too clever for its own goods and all kinds of completely unfeasible nonsense seems to be going on. Now, on the bugle, we have not covered this Trump Russia story quite as exhaustively as we might. And as a podcast of historical record as we are, we do need now to rectify this oversight. So, I'll just give you a quick background to the whole Trump Russia story. It all began back in 1776 when America declared independence from Britain for reasons that still don't really stack up to this day. This set them on a path to becoming the world's most powerful nation. Eventually the Russian monarchy was overthrown in 1917.

Shortly afterwards, an insurgent movement known as Little Lennon in the Looney lefties took a pound. The aftermath of the second of these World Wars saw Europe effectively karate chopped in two, like one of Bruce Lee's birthday cakes, with a Soviet Union taking control of these. A prolonged political standoff punctuated by occasional outbreaks of chess and rocky four. But, unfortunately, he was then replaced by Mr Poochan, a black belt at Megalomania, and someone who apparently has a tattoo of Joseph Stalin looking in miringly at a parade of tanks on the inside of his eyelids to constantly remind him of his life's goals. American democracy entering its silliest ever phase, the Russians thought it might be a good

time to dust off their old pantomime cold war spy uniforms and get back down to business. So they go, that brings us pretty much up to date, sorry if that took a bit long, rich editing in the Christian this week, just maybe a few bits help. Trump has dismissed the probe into him. As a charade, the acting FBI director Andrew McCabe who's replaced the fired Comey

said it was a highly significant investigation. As always, when imagines the truth lies between the two, albeit as a Trump skeptic, I believe it lies about one millimeter away from Mr. McKaype and around about 26,000 miles away from Mr. Trump. Andy, one of the things,

or one of the quotes that came from the administration was that James Gourmet had committed atrocities. And what I wanted to know from you is in the in the great line of global atrocities, you know, in the lineage of Paul Pot, Chenghis Khan, the great Mongol Marauder Hugu Loo, and Joseph Stalin, where would you put James Coney?

Well, I mean, he's got to be right up there surely. I mean, he didn't technically result in the unnecessary deaths of millions and millions of innocent people. But apart from that, it's right up there. In terms of the greatest atrocities ever committed, it's, I mean, somewhat even say it's an almost bond jovy level of atrocity. That is correct, Andy. That is correct. And the administration has done a really good job of being transparent with the American public. And I want to know what you thought of

this recent quote from one of the spokespeople because Sean Spicer, he's apparently gone missing, he's been hiding in the box, he hasn't come out. But his replacement said the other day, which I'm sure will go down as one of the great quotes of all time up there with things George Washington has said and Adam Smith have said, she said, look, if a president fires someone, he fires someone. And I thought, never in the great, annals of human resources has there been a more logical statement. And I just wanted your view on how the human resources side of this was carried out. Well, I mean, that's, there's always, you know, hidden human resources, casualties in these things.

I mean, I imagine, I mean, Trump, presumably when he took office in January, just thought, now as president of America, there are effectively 350 million people he can sack. I think that's basically how he sees it as the boss of America. And I'm just, I mean, he's already got through a few. But I imagine by, you know, by four years' time

he'll be just going around primary school saying, you, you, you, you're fired. This is, I think you've really figured out, you know, what the Trump agenda is. I think you've really finally out what the Trump agenda is. I think you've really finally figured it out. For him, I think severance is not too much salary, but literally severing you in the way that a mad dictator would. Some other notable words said Trump himself described Comey as being a show boater and a

grandstander, a show boater and a grand, from a man who is to all intents and purposes, an overpriced luxury yacht on display in the seats above half-way line in a large stadium. Does that quite make sense? Who cares? The world doesn't make sense anymore, and I'm a product of my times.

But coming from Trump and who have, surely being called a show boater and a grandstander, is the highest of all possible personal compliments. Equivalent to Roger Federer shouting, that's my friend is an elegant backhand at you whilst you're playing tennis. And if it is not a compliment, then being accused of being a showboater and a grandstander by Trump is like being slammed by Hannibal Lecter for eating unethically sourced meat.

Or it's like Lucy, the Australopithecus afferences hominin skeleton dated to 3.2 million years ago, giving you stick for being more than averagely dead. Or it's like being taken to task by Mount Vesuvius for having buried too many Roman towns in 79 AD. What is the well-coming to, Adevab? Trump has denied that he intimidated Comey, someone suggested this that he intimidated Comey, an issue to statement stating that the horse's head on Mr Comey's pillow was, quote, a traditional American cure for sleep apnea. Apparently, Mr Trump said the fume-sumly future-facting nag-noggin open-ear waves, quote, just as effectively as old-school

smelling salts or a set of medical forceps plunkped up your conquer. The president added that a horse head on the pillow is as effective at helping people spring out of bed in the morning as an octupal espresso. You don't need to be malon, brando or rocket scientist, Mr Trump, to know that when someone wakes up next to a severed horsey-bond, they tend to sit up rather abruptly and get on with their day. I think that what you're looking at here is a case of professional rivalry, right? Yep. Now, a person who has a bedroom made of gold with gold plated mirrors under which he sleeps.

Now, when he calls a man, you know, a grandstander, I want to now see James Gomes bedroom. I really want to know what's going on there for this architectural rivalry to be going on. I want to know, is there a diamond-studded mannequin of Andrew Jackson that also lights up in neon? I'll give a local example. A lot of people who come to the Taj Mahal in India, look at it and they say it's beautiful,

it's lovely, there's nothing like it, but some also say it's a bit much. It's a bit much. If you had a residence like that, it would be slightly over the top, no much, slightly. The President of the United States is the sort of man who said,

it's too subtle. So he decided to build one in New Jersey, but make it even more louder and made of gold and jewels. And if the Mughal Empire was alive and around, they would look at that and think, yes, yes, this is what we were really thinking. It took 400 years for it to get built and they finally realized our vision, but we had the screenplay, he made the film. But the Taj Mahal was essentially, that was a token of love,

and it was basically an elaborate bunch of flowers from a guy to his current squeeze. That is correct, Andy. And I feel like I don't know which of Mr. Trump's marriages he was in at the time, but he could have built it for the same purpose. I think we all know that if Donald Trump builds a Tar-to-Mahal, there is only one person in the relationship that that is addressed to,

and that is Donald Trump himself. Of course, I mean, it's very hard to know the truth of this story. It may be that it doesn't really come out for decades and decades, but I find it hard to believe Trump. He's not so much the boy who cried wolf. As the 70-year-old half-boy half-f**k who screamed, hey everyone, there's a huge armada of wolves coming

whilst renting a load of drama students to dress up as wolves and bark. I think you're just described Fox News. It is not easy to take a man at his word whose name looks like someone hastily tried to change the words, don't trust, and only got a half way through before they were called Redhanded, a man whose every utterance sets off even a sympathetically calibrated bullshit alarm.

British election news now, and it is under a month until we bridge skip to our polling stations to weep our salt exes into the little boxes on our ballot papers. I mean, this is not the most eagerly anticipated election in British history, Anuva, as the Bugles British election correspondents in India, how how's the British election flying in the in the Asian continent? There's something going on in your elections, Andy, that I don't understand. Seen some YouTube clips, and there seems to be something going on this year

where your Prime Minister, Theresa May, and various other people, including ex-Primes to David Cameron, are walking into the streets, that they're going house by house and talking to the public. They're speaking to members of the public, and there are YouTube clips of people saying, no, thank you very much, we don't want to speak to you.

There are people just harassing some of your leaders, saying, your shit and your rubbish and so on. And this is, I think, one of the concerns in the democracy when you go out and meet members of the public. I think one of yours, Winston Churchill, had said, the biggest argument against democracy is a two-minute conversation with the average voter.

And I think there's something that they can learn from India, which is that when Indian leaders pass voters, they do it in a bulletproof Jeep. And often times, you know, they only throw used plastic bottles of mineral water at weaving adoring fans. They have realized that once you get elected, you are allowed in a democracy to be elevated to the level of monarchy. But this is clearly a message that is not going through

because there's some tendency among your leaders to want to figure out what the people want. What insanity is that? Well, to be honest, it's not wanting to figure out what the people want. It's wanting to be seen, appearing to give a shit about what people want. And as you say, they've been knocking on doors,

and there seem to be an awful lot of voters who have basically just been hiding behind their sofas to avoid having to come face to face with an actual politician. But the way the polls are going, it does look like it's going to be a massive victory for Theresa May. She could spend the next 26 days just standing outside 10 Downing Street, eyeballing straight

down the camera whilst biting the heads off puppies and feeding their bodies into a giant smoothie maker, squeezing rats milk into it directly out of a rat's ratwap, then whizzing it all up and pouring the results to dog rat shake over her head and do that over and over and over again for 26 days and she would probably still win with a stonking majority because I think fundamentally Britain has made its mind up about Jeremy Corbyn to a large extent Britain has had its mind made up for it by a media that has not really warmed to Corbyn over the years and has sounded the full linen alert when he's opened his mouth. We will have more on this next week

with this Kumar, our British-based British election correspondent. Corbin had his manifesto leaked this week, a manifesto that had such terrifying ideas as re-nationalising the railways and building houses in, which apparently is communism gone mad and is going to drag Britain back to somewhere around about the year 1340 or something. But it was interesting that when he put leaked manifesto, Corbyn leaked manifesto into Google, the top report things are the differently. From the independent newspaper on the left, or the certainly more to the left of the spectrum, British voters overwhelmingly back Labour's manifesto policies, poll finds, and the telegraph, unashamedly on the right,

Labour MPs reject Corbyn's manifesto. So, these are tough times to be a democracy fan generally in the world, and I think the next four weeks in Britain are going to be... I'm going to be hard to stomach to be honest, but we will report them in full here on the bugle, the exclusive podcast of democratic record for the planet Earth. I did just one question that I had a very quick question about Jeremy Corbyn because it not much is known about him in other parts of the world, which is why today's Times

of India, which carries a very large story about your upcoming election, had photographs of the two people and it said Theresa May, Prime Minister of Britain, and had a photograph of James Corbyn and it just said person. Is it safe to say that the words dashing, the words sexy, the words dynamic, the words Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, aren't often associated with James Corbyn. Is that a fair analysis? Well, sitting here just between hemisphere's, I'm not sure. Yes, well, I think you've been calling him, were you calling him James? He's, you know, I mean, that just shows. I mean, actually, that might spice him up a bit, you know,

calling him James, giving him a side bond feel. Yes, I think, I mean, India could well learn about Jeremy Corbyn over the next three or four weeks. They will then be able to instantly forget him because it does look like he's heading towards electoral arm again. In other democracy news, France, last weekend, elected Emmanuel Macron, the 3D printer of a political void as discussed on the vehicle last week, ahead of Marine Le Pen, who is a harrowing look back into Europe's past, and we now have a selection of media reactions from the rest of the world. Phew!

Oh god, thank God for that. Phew! Phew! Oh, that is God for that. Phew! Phew! Oh, that is a bullet dodged for now. There you go, so that's pretty much how the world responded to Macron's election. Who knows how it all pan out? But thank f*** it hasn't paned out, how it might have paned out for now. for now. Indian news now and ANOVA as always, as always when you're on this programme, there are some

truly unbelievable stories emanating from India as there are, basically, a daily basis. This is correct. And I think the specific thing you're referring to is that this last week in India, we have found a mad judge. Now that may sound like that's a term for something, a movie, or some sort of euphemism for some, it isn't, it's just as it reads, we have in India now a pro-mad judge.

One of our justices of the high court, this has never happened in Indian history. One of the justices of the high court, this has never happened in Indian history, one of the justices of the high court decided that he was going to pass some judgments against judgments passed on him. He was a judge about the retire from the high court, which is, as the name suggests, one of our higher courts, and the Supreme Court in India,

which is the only court higher than that, passed a judgment telling this judge basically, basically not to say crazy things. And in the history of Supreme Court judgment, this is the first judgment that reads, please convince Justice Ganan not to say completely crazy things, or the need to pass a judgment that says

he has to have his head examined. Now this is where I properly value a democracy. You have systems of government, you have the executive, you have a judiciary, but sometimes we've known that the executive is mad, as we can see by presidents in America, various other places. Now, this is the first time that you realize that the checks and balances thing, the judiciary can also be mad, proper man. So the judge in response to being told that he needs to have his head examined by the

Chief Justice of India decided not to leave his house and from his home which he declared his own court, his home court, he passed a judgment sentencing a bunch of junior judges to death sentencing the Chief Justice of India and a bunch of junior judges to death. Sentencing the Chief Justice of India at a bunch of other judges to five years of rigorous imprisonment from his home court and his house that then turned it over to a court. At which point the Chief Justice of India insensible Latin, you know, because which is the language widely understood in India declared in Latin that this man was mad and he should be promptly arrested. After which when the police arrived, this man went into hiding and from hiding today and he I report this. His lawyer, while this judge at Heidi gave a press conference say we would like to reply to

the fact that this judge has been declared mad. His lawyer has filed an apology in the Supreme Court of India, but it could not be filed in time because the registrar with whom you file apologies had left for the day. I mean, India is the nation that as a fan of crazy news, crazy politics and crazy court rulings, just it never stops giving Anuab. It does not, Andy, it does not. In fact, just to add, the only thing we have a billion of apart from people are court cases pending in Indian courts. We have a near billion cases pending in our courts. We have a near billion cases pending in our courts. So it just matches

birth to court case is about a fair match. Well, there was another case that you alerted me to which relates to a property dispute between a landlord and a tenant that has now gone on for 20 years. And the themichal Pradesh High Court issued a judgment that was so confusingly worded that the country's supreme court has issued this statement saying, one cannot understand this, which to be fair, it might just have been referring to India as a whole, which is a nation of utter incomprehensibility in almost every single way. But this course judgment had some truly spectacular language

in it, if I may quote from some of this ruling, as I said, a 20-year case between a landlord and a tenant, Included the phrases, wherewithin the opposite unfoldments, qua his resistance to the execution of the decree, stood discountonanced by a learned executing court. However, the learned council cannot derive the fullest sucker from the aforesaid acquiescence, given its sinew suffering partial dissipation

from an in-minent display, occurring in the impunjunge pronouncement here at, where within unravelments are held, qua the rendition recorded by the learning rent controller. Min that, that is language. I think it's like sport, Anuva. We in Britain, we invented many sports. We gave them around the world and other countries,

took them, expanded them, played them far more creatively than we could ever do. And this has now happened with the English language in India. You are doing things with it. That, frankly, we would not even dreamed of doing. But without those words, to me, they sound like a passage from my forthcoming erotic novel.

LAUGHTER He dreamed of being where within her opposite unfoldments. He quired his resistance to this execution. His decree stood discountonanced, fully discountonanced by her learned executing of his court. Her learned council derived the fulless succour from his aforesaid acquiescence, evidently, not Jewish if he's aforesaid. His sinew suffered a partial dissipation from her oh so imminent display. He was occurring in her impunge pronouncement.

Here at, where within? Unravelments? No, do you mind unraveling where without? I don't want to take any chances. Held, qua! The rendition was recorded by the rent controller. What the fuck is the rent controller doing here? He said. This is now getting into a real estate 3-Sermandy,

this erratic novel. A Victorian novel setter. But the point you raise is very valid. You know, the words, you know, where for under, where for so ever, here for under, are used quite regularly in Indian courts, Indian courts in the country where I'd say about 20%

of the population speaking English. In fact, the language is sometimes so convoluted that if you sentence a murderer to death, it takes him about 10 days to figure out he's actually been sentenced to death. Ha ha ha ha. A recent corruption trial in Tamil Nadu passed a guilty verdict and lamented how corruption has quotes an octopoid stranglehold on Indian life.

And that is an extremely impressive wrestling maneuver if you can pull it off. The verdict also said, the common day experiences, indeed, do introduce one with unfailing regularity, the variegated cancerous concoctions of corruption with fearless impunity knowing into the frame and fabric of this nation email from Jeremy Corbyn, the leader of the Labour Party, which is a circular email, I assume, from the Labour Party, but to whoever signed the Bugle Podcast email up to receive your email from the Labour Party and signed us up under the name of Dick Wads. Congratulations, because I mean it is undeniably funny to receive an email

in your inbox from Jeremy Corbyn saying, Dick Wads, strongly the ship is standing up for the many not the few. You know, if you just started referring to the public as Dick Wads, I think in some ways, people would respect him a little bit more. Question one, the big one, Dick Wads, will he be voting on the eighth of June? Let's stand up for a fairer Britain. Yes, certainly, certainly on behalf of all Dick Wads

Jeremy. Yes, let's stand up for a fairer Britain. And this comes in from the wilds of Alaska from a Mr. Rich Stromburg. I was disappointed to hear Andy's weak ass pun run of Australian capitals. Is he feeling well? Fuck you, Rich. Fuck you, Mr. Rich Stromburg of Alaska. At least I can walk outside my house in the winter without dying within a second.

It did, however, remind me of my third grade teacher he continues, Miss Matic. She was from Australia. I remember her showing us coins from Australia and from all the countries in the world, where she'd travelled on her way to the US. In fact, all the students knew Miss Matic as the coin lady. She was such an inspiring teacher that when she died,

all her past students formed an organisation in her remembrance, called the American New Miss Matic Society. And that is a joke for coin collectors, the world over. B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B- The Last and Re Festival still has a, quote, a big secret to announce in its lineup. Well, I can confirm it is not me, but on the flip side to that, attention London. I am doing shows in London, imminently. Do you like my comedy? If yes, proceed to the next sentence. If no, what are you doing at this end of the podcast?

If you want to see me perform live, then get out your jetpacks and fly your sorry asses to one or more of the following shows. The 18th of May at the underbelly on the South Bank. I'm doing satirist for high, sending your request to satirize this at satiristforhard.com. 25th, 29th of May and the 3rd of June. I'm doing political animal with guests at the Soho Theatre. 30th of May is the Bugle Live at Soho with Nishkumar and the live Google at the underbellies on the 23rd of July

And if you've got any shows you'd like to alert people to? Yeah, there are a couple of interesting things. The Amazon Prime Video special will finally be available in the UK, but I can happily announce that I do not know when, still.

But I will the next time we speak Andy, so I like being specific to the listeners, so that's why I wanted to mention this. Incompetent and vague is what this show is built on. Thank you, Adi. Thank you. Here within and here after I would like to accept that as a compliment. And I'd also like to mention that there are some shows planned for the UK, specifically London. They're saying maybe September again, I have no specific tips as of yet, but I will at some point. Watch this audio space. Thank you for listening, Buuglers. Until next week when I will be joined by Mr. Nish Kumar. Goodbye. you
