So I got a car recently. Ooh, I didn't buy a car. Someone drove me. Oh, yeah. That's what I meant. Yeah. Woo. And when I walked out, he said, the driver said to me, I'm supposed to give you a hug.

Oh, no. And I thought, well, they've taken a new policy in this company. They've gone to step to it. I said, I'm sorry, I'm unclear of your meaning. He said, well, I'm Emily's regular driver. Oh, no. Oh, was it Steve Driver? I call him Steve Driver.

I didn't ask his name. Let's face it. Steve Driver? And he said, oh, yes, I drive Emily to the show on Saturday mornings. Uh-huh. And he said, if I drive you, I should give you a hog. But we decided against him. I'm sorry to let you down.

Oh, I was thinking some breakback mountain thing. But, you know, I said, He said, oh, she's great, and she said, oh, yeah, she's such a laugh and all that. He said, she's very good on the roots, as well, he says. And I thought, surely she does those before she comes out. But he said, what, she's worked, she's worked out of route from her house to absolute, which have vines all speed bumps, so she can do her makeup in the back of the car. That's 100% right.

That is good. That is, that's really, that, eh, the pathfinder. Yeah. That's fantastic. Always putting the effort in, Frank. And I said, you know, because by now I'd, obviously I'd moved into banter mode. Yeah. I said, well, there's not many men seeing Emily without her makeup.

And then I thought, actually, they're probably awkward. Yes. I feel like that when, does not many women see me shave? Is that right? And that's deliberate. Because I do a sort of a shaving. face. Do you? When you sort of have to pull your

mouth and that into horrible... I know the position, yeah. Can I demonstrate? Like that. Like you on a webcam somewhere. I think if anyone saw that, they might it might cause some sort of fissure in our relationship.

I'm glad you saw Steve Friver, though. He seems a very nice chap. He is, and you know what I admire him for? His discretion. Well... Well, I don't know. He told me that. Until he fessed up about your speakbook room. You ever waited to wait for the other stuff, he told me about it.

I missed the show last week. Oh, we missed you. Did you? Didn't listen? I didn't listen. I was away. Emily was in the chair, as our regulars will know. That's something of a relief, Phil.

He doesn't know yet. Yes. And I haven't been caught urinated in public again. That's what happened last time I didn't do. Yeah, but you don't know what we did, Frank. No. I can't remember what we did. I'll tell you what we did.

Did we do something bad? I think Big Dad is going to be off in bed, Mr. Ellen. I might have instigated a bit of a selfie war with Joan Collins, I'm afraid. Oh, I forgot about that. I think I'd deleted that. Well, you know that Ellen took that selfie for the Oscars, 3.2 million retweets. Joan Collins did one, 341 retweets. Oh, okay.

Of her and who are the other people in it, Al? Pixie Lott and So Ben Kingsley So I decided to do one of us Just out of curiosity to see how many it would get I'm afraid we had a coloured photocopy of you Held up

It was all curling at the edges I'm happy with that Especially if it was a little bit too red I like that sort of singing detective look We got 676 retweets though That is... More than Sir Ben Kingsley. After one he's done for this country.

And India. Yeah, he did a lot for India, did it? This show is somewhere between, as you pointed out, Alan DeGeneres and Joan Collins then? Yeah. We can reveal. Oh, that's good to know. Okay.

Yeah, we'll keep working trying to finalise that position where we are on that scale. That spectrum, that degenere's Collins spectrum. You should have scratched a bit of stubble, though? I am scratching a bit of scubble. Listen, everyone. Yeah. Yeah.

Oh, I've got my whiskers. Don't worry about that. I'm not some sort of eunuch. I'm not you knock pal. That's what you mean. We don't often cross-promote on this show, but we've had a text from 546 saying, I was in the pub last night when I got a distressing text from my mate John

saying Frank Skinner on Last Leg, I'm glad to hear you on the radio this morning. I should point out the last leg is that television program. Do you see? Um, what, um, yes, last week, I was, I was, um, on holiday. I went away for a weekend with, um, with a lot of adults and children, is what I went away with. And at one point the holiday fell through. The, the company we were going away with dissolved. Oh. No. Yeah. To be fair, they were made of ice. Yeah. You know those ice companies that are so popular. An ice break. Yeah. And, um, no, it, it, it, it's sort of

disappeared the company. And so I thought, oh, we're not going away after all. So I found Daisy, the producer of the show. And I said, I guess what? I'm not, it was a fifth anniversary show, fifth anniversary of that. I said, guess what, I'm not, I'm not going away after all. Oh, what does she say? So I can do the show. What's she said? And she said, oh, well, the thing is, everyone's in place now. Is that what she said? Can you imagine how I felt. out my fifth anniversary show. Everyone's in place there.

Everyone's in place. I said, oh, well, I just thought, you know, it might be good if, and she said, well, it's up to you. Oh, can you imagine it? I think it's when she took that call, we were all in place. We were right here, ready to. Well, I felt. I can't tell you how I felt. Oh.

We can't tell you how we... I cried. And I'd seen I ate macpies the day before. Did you start it out then? Did you say, oh yeah, well, I didn't want it. But anyway... Hang on, you saw I eat magpies. Oh, yeah.

I saw eight magpies in a train. Is that a show in the West End? You know, I salute, if I see one magpie. I mention this before. I always, always salute. Yeah. Right. And I have that dilemma.

Actually, if anyone knows about this, I'd love to know. If any, there's any people who are sort of connoisseurs of superstition. What often happens to me is I see one magpie, a salute, and then another one comes. And I thought, well, I've diluted the one for sorrow, but. Have I also diluted? Do I not get the two-for-joy thing now because I've saluted? It's that broken the spell. Anyway, I saw eight mag pies in a tree,

and I had to go against my better judgment and Google to work out what that signify. More, more soon. I had to Google eight magpice. It's a wish. Is it? Oh, that's rubbish, isn't it? That's what you...

Well, no, it's great. If you know, at the time, you can have a wish, but obviously, you know, you can't wish retrospectively on these creatures. Well, how long did you Google take, surely? Well, I didn't want a smart phone in the street. You know, I frown on it. All right. You know, those people that just walk along,

thinking everyone else has to get out the way for them. I know. I'm one of them. Oh, okay. The joy of having a wish is that you can just do it. You don't even need to see eight, Mike, But I could have one now if I wanted. Go on there. I've just done one.

You don't want to know. Ah. The good news is I was very careful what I wish for, so that's what they're saying. Yeah, you have to be careful about that. Otherwise, if you get what you wish for, it might be something that's not actually good for you. That's right, yeah, that's the theory behind it.

I'm saying that quite carefully, because people might listen... You go wrong. You both sound absolutely plastered. But come on. That's exactly what it sounds like. Lovely. Hold it. When you wish, what I was saying?

When you wish. So, sober up. I went away for the weekend. Oh, how was it? And it was lovely, actually. So you got a new place. We got a new place. We were helped out by the kindness of others.

Buzz, my son had the best time. And he, one problem, he's really, really got into seesawing. Oh, lovely. The trouble is with seesawing is you don't want to be the only child who likes it. Yeah. You don't want Chris Begins the other end either. Well, there's nobody. You couldn't really put anyone the other end other than a child.

So there's a lot of him sitting on one end of the... That's not true, Frank. Me during Fashion Week, you could put me the other end. Yeah, but, you know, you weren't there. Yeah. But yeah, so it's like I... Look, it's why I've never really got into board games, because you have to have someone else all play with you.

Yeah. You don't want to sit there looking at a laid-out cludo. True. Yeah. And guess who? Oh, just sit in there, why it's open that somebody phones. Someone will come along to play. Yeah, and you got it.

That's awful. So, yeah, it was lovely, though. It was, I like being with a gang, because I never really with a gang. I'm quite lonely, it's the truth. Lonely. You are right? Just been away with a lot of people. I know.

It's when I come back that I really felt it. How was the gang? Were they okay? You didn't do any of the... It wasn't the ones I had a difficult time with. I was going to see... He can't see them anymore. He didn't do any of the previous trip antics, did you?

Like, oh, I must spend more time with normal people or everything. Oh, no, no. Physically ill when you tell you that story again. I didn't say that. I'm afraid we don't cook, that sort of stuff. You know, the... Oh, God. Now, that was a different group.

This group, I... It's nice. We did things. like I have a quiz. Oh, yeah, did you write it? Oh, I feel a bit stressed at the thought of you having a quiz, because you are quite competitive, Frank. Well, I did 15 to 1 this week, speaking of, uh, how did they go?

Quisies? Excellent. At least I knew what my chances of winning were from the off. Is it still William G. Stewart? No, no, no. Right? You know, this is the modern world. It was Adam Hills.

Oh, lovely. Oh, he's good. Yes. And I was, there was 15 of us, obviously. Question or nominate? Well, it was, I can't say it what happened, obviously. I can tell you a few. I was next to Hillary DeVay.

Oh. And she kept saying to me, I mean, who could know these? They're obscure, so obscure, these questions. They're the sort of questions. You know them, or you don't. I thought, well, that's a fair point. Fair point. There's one point.

the question about, it was some TV programme, and she turned to me again quite loud and said, it's no good asking me about television, because when the television was on, I was working in my dad's pub. And I wanted to say, well, it's still on. Do you know it's still on? We're on it. This is, we're on it now. This is television. But she seemed to think the television that something happened in 1968. Once. Yeah. That night, that night television was on. I didn't know that dad's put misty. I weren't there for that three hours. Frank, do you still, can you tell me a bit with the format? Because they used to,

your third light would go off. No spoiler alerts, but the third light would go off and then you'd have to sit there in the dark. You have to stand there now in the dark. Do you stand? Yeah, so people. I could give you a seat. I can't tell any names. But a well-known politician stood in the dark for I would say 17 minutes. Oh. Just stood in in the dark.

It was like the opening of the third man. Oh, yeah. I'll come back to this. So there was a bit where... This is 15 to 1. Yes. Again, I can't say what happened on it, you know. But I will tell you that there was a question that,

for some camera angle reason, Adam Hill's had to do twice. So he asked the question. And, you know, is it one thing about quizzes. You learn. That's one of the good things. So he asked a question about the head of the Olympic Committee or something of that nature, and the person didn't know it, and he told them the answer. And then they said, can you do that again? So he did it again, and I still didn't know the answer. No, that's not good, is it? I've often thought, if I watch Mastermind again

the next night, would I get all the specialist questions? But I wouldn't. I watched it once, and it was about the Aztecs. Oh, yeah. And I thought, I think if I guess every one of these, I'll get one. So it said, which king ruled Aztec Empire from 11? What would you say? Meccahu.

And what was the name of the ancient city? And I'd go, Meglip. And just do that. And I thought, I bet if I'd get one, I'd be such a thrill. Uh-huh. But, uh... No joy. Didn't work out?

No joy was my guest. No. Oh, I look forward to watching that 15. You should try that. I would encourage anyone when you're watching a mastermind. Have a crack at the year. Yeah. Yeah.

Just have a guess. You know, if it's something about, um, the enigma, um... You can do it with the Turkish language, to be honest. Can you? Sorry, what were you saying about the enigma can? Well, you know, you can say, which, which scientist, you can just say, no, Brian Ells. And wouldn't it be great if you got one? Charles Babbage sounds made up.

Yes. Yeah. Doesn't he? Yeah, who's that? He meant to the computer. Oh. Okay, I'm going to get one of them. Sorry, sorry, it's technology-based. I'm going to get one.

What, computer? Yeah, do it. Don't they get hot? I seem to remember they get hot. They do get hot. That have been a very... Tell you what? We had one at a factory I worked at.

That had been a frozen room. Do you know what? I think they take a long time to warm up as well. But they're very useful. Who do, finding out... For the computer. Oh. What to do in the eventuality that you see,

eight magpines. That's the best use for a computer that is. Yeah, it is. So, Frank, you were spotted this week. Okay. By Ian from Gravesend. Okay. I missed you the other week, Frank.

I think he's a friend to last week's show. Saw you walking the street. Sounds a bit... Yes. And thought what I could do to get your attention that wasn't shouting, Frank, you legend. So I think... with a bit of gravel at you. Not to hurt you, but it's the best I could think of that didn't

involve my shoe. Anyway, it missed you. And you didn't ever find out I existed, or that I'm funny, so I thought I would inform you. Yes. Alan and Emily asked me earlier while I was wearing an eye patch. No, no, I missed the gravel completely. But I mean, I'm happy for people to come and say hello rather than throw road surface at me. Probably a good rule. Yeah. Yeah. That's going to go. Have you ever done that when you go around someone's house like they do in the films and throw stones at the window to get them up?

Not since I was dating Saddam Hussein. Now then you would throw a shoe. A flip-flop I threw, yeah. No, I haven't done that. Is that... Do you remember when the statue come down, that man, it was a flip-flow. Oh, I love that. A disrespectful.

It's good. Did you not think that was right? I know he was a curate-egg, Saddam Hussein. But, you know, don't take it out on art. Is that your take on the Sudan that he was a curious? You know what? Me and my friends have adopted that. If we're angry, if you're angry with a man,

you just get a photo of him and bash it with your... Jimmy Choo? We actually do that. And does that work? Does that make it feel better? Yeah, it does. Oh, good. Jimmy Choo.

He was lucky to miss the rhyme and slang. Train, wasn't he? What, I could do the Jimmy Choo. It's cold friends, Kim, radio days. I don't mean days as a stupor. A mean days as a stupor. in the sounds of the week So this is

A take out A bloke We've taken all where radio shows It's done a bit of editing And tightening It's a walk down Morning Frank Comedy Northern Bloch and the Divine one

I'm not sure I'm happy with my handle there That's all right, isn't it? They're happy with mine It's got comedy in it I'll take it The Divine one is the winner, isn't it? Fashion and Sport question I'm taking my son five

to his first match Some of the names they give him now, are they named after the boy band. Or he's got four children already and he's just gone, Oh, like Charlie Chan, number one son. Call him five. Yeah. I think you should have done the Ian McMillan voice there, don't you? That's how he used.

Oh, yeah. There were different times. We didn't know, you see. Anyway. I might start calling him Buzz, number one son. That's a good idea. I'm taking my son five to his first match to see the Mighty Blades Crush Wool. who will be resplendent in footy kit, scarf, hat, etc.

I, at 46, will be in smart, non-badged casual. Does the team think that there should be a new rule, which men past a certain age, which men pass a certain age from wearing, ban men from wearing replica sports kit, I think. This is why he's not on the news. No, no, there's a word missing in the text. It ain't my bad.

I'm just doing my best with what I've got here. You have to amend as you go. That's how it works, reading out loud. Also, Trevor McDonald never says, ain't my bad. Although he should. But he did get an item for reading out loud. Miss M, please feel free to feel nauseous. John 106 from Sunny Cultural Sheffield.

So there? Well, I think he's correct. I like to wear a scarf. Just a scarf. No. Not just a scarf. What did he ask? I can't remember. Like when you wear just your pyjarm at top. If I went to the Qatar World Cup, I might wear just a scarf.

It's going to be steamy out there. Oh, I'm going to wear hot pants to that. I'm just going to wear a rainbow scarf to that. I might wear really high-cut denim cotters. Oh, my God. Like Daisy Duke. Oh, my God. I'm not sure that the text are in wanted what we were going to wear to the Qatar World Cup.

No, but they're getting it. That's what he's getting. Mine just for the record. I don't plan that far ahead. You don't. You just don't. Hot pants, but then a fleece up top just to confuse them in. Oh, I might wear a jeal.

Oh, yeah. Jimmy. Tim Sherwood's style. Body warm or old school. What was, anyway. No, I take his point. I mean, you do see lots of people. I mean, the thing is with football shows,

they are designed for professional athletes. Exactly, Frank. And somewhat unforgiving on. And I really, it's not so much that because, you know, people, most people look terrible anyway. But I like a. scarf. I do like to wear a scarf at a game. And the replica shirt has replaced the scarf, really. You're a sort of a Mancini kind of fan, aren't you? He wears one, don't he? Even though, even though he's got the job.

Yeah. Takes a trip to the club shop when he first starts, doesn't. I've always worn a scarf, though. Do you know what? People didn't wear replica shirts when I started going. You had one knitted by your mum, one of those, didn't you? I love that. Exactly. So, um, I... You wore a replica kit a lot during the 90s with Dibade. Yeah, but I wore it professionally. You did? But I think, I remember seeing a crowd shop at the 66 World Cup final. There was people with big rosettes and stuff like that. And then there was a guy there who was just like, you know,

a 60s groovy guy in a map and a little thin tie. And I thought, yeah, that's the way. That's the way to get to the World Cup final. Cool. No, not a hit, no badge, nothing. Yeah. Just, so yeah, I'm with Dad on this one. A sort of underground campaign to stop people wearing,

colours at games that you just go just go in your normal clothes because it would be good for pubs as well before I'd like to go in it because some of them say no football colours I'd go full length ball gown like young musician of the year that's how I go to any Huddersfield town game I always go in that and also you'd be defined sponsorship because the sponsors on the shirts

you'd be fighting commercialism in football because they're selling of the shirts are high prices and I think you've been making a statement that the surface supporting of a team what's on the outside is all about the players. They're on the inside, often just think about themselves. But with the football fans, the team colours are on the inside. They don't need to wear them on the outside. It's really... It's nearly a rant. And I ate a rant.

Frank doesn't like rants. No. However, the reader... I like Esther Ranson. Which case there's any misunderstanding about that. No, I don't. I remember when I went to do work experience and she was rude to me. Oh. What does she say, Daisy?

She said... I can't just look nice and know people You can't just look nice and know people Can't walk in here looking beautiful and just knowing people I see you've opted to beautiful Yeah You'd see a terror in your face when Daisy had reduced it to nice

I hate it Daisy's amends were awful The chap here that has texted in She's wrong of course Has said Feel free to feel nauseous Emily and that's stumbled upon something that's happened in my life quite a few times. Oh, you felt nausea?

No, recently. I feel nauseous. I've had a few people say, oh my God, that makes me feel sick about things recently. My manager was talking to me. He was boasting about how he's got a new money clip. I mean, what... It sounds to me like he's not busy enough. What was the nature of the money clip?

Sounds to me like he's doing all right for himself. He puts his money and his credit card and maybe a few receipts into a clip, and he said, I just have the... in my pockets. It's a bit canya, that. And I said, oh, I've just got a wallet and he went, oh, the thing I hate about a wallet is the unnecessary fold. Started talking about the unnecessary fold because they become all big. That's what I hate it by getting older.

I can't. Honestly, I went, oh, what, like on my wallet? And I got my wallet on it any minute. Oh, my God, that makes me feel sick. You said it makes him feel sick? It's not that bad. It's just a normal, I've got it here. Yeah, but yours, if I remember, it rightly, it is gross. Actually, it's disgusting. Oh, no, actually feel sick. I didn't know it's made out of human skin. I think there's so much human skin to go around.

I feel like we should use some of it. Do you know what? You can go very off-piece with small leather goods. Yeah. Yes. I'm always saying that to my friends in the S&M community. No, there is too much in your wallet. There is at the moment.

I've got too many receipts in there. and too many coins. It's an envelope. I thought it's for a brown envelope? There is, yeah. Got a brown envelope in your wallet. I think I might have put that in because I... But an envelope is a wallet.

That's true. That is true. It's so bulging. I'd use that as a footrest. That's a puff you've got there. Whatever you put that on your purse, then it's going to be unsightly. It's too much... My mate...

Maybe it's got double usage. And he came into a bar in jogging bottoms. I mean, that turned my stomach. Wandering about in a theatre bar in a pair of grey jogging bottles. I'm alright with that. The head of Absolute Radio did that once. He still denies it. He came in here once in jogging bottoms.

I hate on the wallet front is I can't cope nowadays with a wallet in a back pocket. Oh, no. Main or female, I want to see that. Even if, you know, a fat bloke, I still want to see the curvature of the buttock. And the worst thing is... Why? Why do you want to see it? I just do.

And when people are habitual wallet wearers in the back pocket, they get like a shape in the back pocket. At all. It might have taken a corner of the pocket out with its sharp walletless. No. I hate that. Yeah, nothing wrong yet. They are texting in, but mainly about whether or not it's appropriate to wear football shirts after a certain age. But that's an interesting point.

And we seem to have started a text as, where do you keep your wallet? What's your wallet like? Oh, it's a pickpockets guide. Yeah. We've had an email from Alex Mead saying, hi, Frank and Gang, I'm a back pocket wallet kind of guy. I just had the thought it would appease, would it appease, Frank, if I had two with even distribution between the two, one, the right pocket for cash, and in the left for sundries, brown envelopes, etc. A clip is just two camp, and where would you put your stamps?

No, I'm not, I'm not, I'm not back in the clip. I just think that the human, there's a reason that the human bottom is curved the way it is. It's so, you know, it has, even the ones we might think of got out of control still look pretty good. You know, like the mandrill. You know the mandrill ape? Yeah. His face looks like he's behind, so that he's always attractive back in front.

I just think, I notice it. I think it's... I think... It looks wrong in a back pocket. Yeah. I used to do it myself. I mean, I'm like John McVicca now. You know, I had a life of crime,

and now I've become a sociologist. But I just think it doesn't look great. I see people with the back phone and look. I see attractive. Active women, back phone in the pocket. Oh, no. And you're spoiling everything. What about iPhone in the front pocket?

Oh. I don't mind that. Obviously, it makes you infertile. But, hey, you know, if you're going to make an omelet, actually, you probably wouldn't make an omelet if you did that regularly. Sure, you know. 7-7-1. But, Frank, think of the poor trainee pickpockets.

If people didn't carry wallets in their back pockets, where would they start? Well, didn't they go for back? Because I'd have thought that it's quite hard to get one out of a back pocket. I suppose if you've been sitting there, that's another day in. you sitting down a long time, wouldn't you about a bit of numbness? Someone could just come and take the wallet straight out and you wouldn't know a damn thing?

Yeah. What about having one on wheels? That's the modern thing now, isn't it? Not a wallet. A drastic wallet on wheels. Perhaps people can't carry anything anymore. Okay. Lyndon Hughes has also...

Lyndon Hughes used to play midfield for West Promenage Alpia. Well, he says, Frank, on the subject of shirts, I was at the theatre last week and a lady in her 50s was wearing a replica shirt. This was wrong on so many levels. One, she was over 50. I thought she was going to say it's so many revels. The upper circle.

Storff. Two, it was an XXXXXL size. Wow. Three, it was a Chelsea shirt with Torres on it. Four, it was in Liverpool. Oh, dear. Blimey. I'd like to know what they'd gone to see.

Well, so would I. Lyndon text him. Yeah, Lyndon do. She'd just kept that, she'd kept that Torres. shirt maybe. Maybe. Can be bothered by a new one. I was once in my local bank and somebody was having an interview with the bank manager

in a man city shirt. I just thought, I'm not sure that's appropriate. They're big money clon. I saw someone pull up at the job centre in a black cab. I respected that person. I saw someone pull up at the supplementary benefit signing on place in a coal wagon. And he came... Is this 1902?

When I was signing on in the 70s, he came in, I mean, as black as, black with dust, with cold dust, clearly working. Couldn't be more clearly working. Left a big sotty foreprint on his signing on thing and then went. Oh, I don't know what's happened to this country. It's not one near as funny as it used to be. Anyway, but the fundamental point is the jury's out on the football shirts, but I agree. I think that does make people feel sick. Yeah, wallet football.

The trouble is I'm struggling now to tell people things like that because it's so easy, isn't it? You know, you think of yourself as straight talking. People get hurt. I've got a terrible example I'll share with you. Well, I don't think I did insult them, but they took it surprisingly badly. I feel ill already.

This is my second Daisy anecdote. the day. Oh, no. Daisy's working with me on another radio show at the moment for BBC Radio 4. If anyone is just flicking through the channels, I think, oh, that was BBC Radio 4. We've lost, what, one person? Not gained a few. Yeah.

Exactly. So I'm doing a, I've mentioned this before, I'm doing a history radio show. So, um... You did mention that in the past. Oh. Oh. Um, sorry, I think it was a problem with a microphone. With the Foxy historian?

Um, with a historian. Ever the last. So Daisy was talking, everyone was talking about history. Because when you're with an historian, you talk about history, that's what you do. And Daisy said, well, actually, I went to school, and one of the teachers was related to, uh, Florin. Nightingale.

And we said, oh, okay. And she said, yeah, no, it might have just been, you know, she might have been, she might have been making it up, I suppose. Or it might have been a myth. I said, it's hard because I'm thinking, I was thinking that you're making it up in order to join in with the history conversation in some way. What was wrong with you?

No, but it was, it wasn't, I wouldn't say it was a joke, but it was a sort of an experiment. I wouldn't say it was a joke either. No, it was a sort of an experiment, I suppose, in fact. Can't experiment on people like this. And I thought it was nothing compared to everyone's in place now. In the league table of terrible things to say to someone you work with. Where does it come in terms of, I don't think you've ever lied to me before, but now I think you have. But, I believe you said to me once.

Daisy went a bit, she went a slightly scary. Did she? What did she? Do you know, I remember there's just me girls at school who walked around, but with their arms folded while they were walking. Do you remember those girls? Yeah. I was that girl. Yeah, they look a bit scared.

And she went a bit, hand on hip, an angular. And she said, I should, I should walk out of here right now. Wow. And she said, out her. She said out her instead of, uh, she said, I, I should walk out of here right now. Oh, yeah. A bit London.

Yeah, it was very, it was like Bronwell High. If you remember that animated series that I don't know if it was ever broadcast. But anyway, yeah, it was. It was very, like, you know, baseball cap turned around the wrong way. Oh, yeah. I backed off, I'll be honest with you. Did you? Did she get all beef in your face?

She just, well, she was standing in a doorway, so she was silhouetti. Oh, no. I should walk out of here. out of you right now. Oh, Brian, it's very urban. It's too urban for me. I'm not saying I don't do urban, but I don't do it to that extent. No.

Well. Good to have a rule. I think you've got your just dessert. You know what I'm saying? I think it was deserved. And then I was leaving a London, a private club in London. This isn't another Daisy story. You've got mentioned I just with her.

It's not Daisy. And I opened the door for a woman, and she'd, just walked through. So I stood and I just stared at her in the face. And she said, uh, yes. And I said, I was waiting for you to say thank you. You did not say that. Yeah.

Good. And she said, she said, I've got a headache. Not the first time you heard that that week. Yeah. Did you say, I also think of things were going to go that far? I was just opening the door for you. I back, again, I backed off. I'm losing my.

nerve in social confrontations. No, I think that's one of the things that makes me sit when you all the door open for someone. And they don't say thank you. Sick rather than fed up, fed up to the back teeth. Furious and sick. Yeah, incandescent. I just think... Yeah, but it's not as bad as a gene hanging over a shoe and making contact with the earth. I worked with somebody the other night, had a button-down collar shirt, and they'd left the buttons undone, on the collar. Oh. Oh. Oh. Come on. just don't like a button down collar shirt. It's a bit...

What? It's a bit... They think it's all over. Do you think? Yeah. I don't like pretty much any man in a sock, other than Frank Skinner. In a sock? Yeah, I don't like men in socks. It's just a bit creepy. What do you mean? I don't like a bear sock. I like them to have bare feet or shoes. I don't like socks. Only Frank, he looks quite cute in them. Any other men would be creepy, yeah. Do you mean with shoes? No, they can have shoes. I don't like socks on their own. So if I kicked off my desert boots and started padding around this studio, you'd feel a bit sick.

I'd moment. Oh, yeah. I like it. I think it's... Yeah, but you're allowed. I've given you a pause. How can I put it? Cozy. One of my things as one is if people say, well, it's like everything, isn't he? I'll always pick up something like a biero and say, well, is it like that? It's a stranger. I mean, people I barely know. Oh, I am a bit. As someone once said in a text, I am a bit of a good.

show there's a little bit of editing and tightening it's a walk down memory lane I know because people find new things quite frightening
