This summer we're working with Beaver Town to bring you some of our favorite stories. You guys know the ones, the stories you can't wait to get out

when you're down in the pub sharing a pint with a couple of your friends. The weird and wonderful stories Luke, where you go through a rollercoaster of emotions just simply retelling them. I've got quite a few as you can imagine. Yeah, it's a rollercoaster for the other people in your town. It is, yeah. Sometimes there's stories on rollercoasters. They are, and it's now time to share them with our listeners over Peter, a cold pint of Beaver Town,

which is genuinely one of my favorite beers. Certainly is. Certainly one of my favorite breweries. Let's go. Oh, I can't wait. But not only that, we know you love a good story too and often send your musings and antics to helloatloungpeachshow.com. So we're also sharing some of our favorite listener stories. And you guys have not disappointed us to be quite frank.

That's right, Peter. And we put a call out for stories on our Instagram didn't we and with the promise of a crate of beautiful Beaver Town neck oil awarded to the best submission and we got some crackers I mean one of them coming up is remarkable Pete, it is remarkable. So what we're going to do on this episode is reflect on what we and you the listeners have been up to this summer. I mean it is, it has been a good summer in many ways. We've packed a lot in. We have, yeah, we've had music festivals, the Euros, we've got the Olympics on as well and I'm sure plenty of us have been away on holiday. Fertile ground I think, it's fair to say for some fantastic tales.

So what's been happening, Lucky Moor, in your life? Have you learned anything this summer? I learn every summer Peter, you know me, in your life? Have you learned anything this summer? I learn every summer, Peter. You know me, I'm always learning. Every summer's a summer camp for you. Very autodidactic, me. I'm always learning. I guess the big thing for me this summer is I went to Munich, didn't I? To see some friends. Munchen.

Yeah, Munchen, as they call it over there. Where they drive on Das Autobahn very fast. On the right hand side of the road. On the right side of the road, yeah. A friend of mine lives in Munich. He's actually, he's literally now just moving back now. But I thought I need to get over there because I haven't seen him and spent some time with him in Munich since he's been living there. So I thought, you know, friendship is important. Got to do these kind of things. Went over there. And I went over there at the very start of the summer, so the traditional Frühlingsfest season in Munich where they celebrate the start of summer. Yeah. Right?

Okay. And have a few beers in a big tent, hang out with your pals and all that good stuff. Was that the tent that got really sweaty? Oh, it does get sweaty. Oh, sweaty tent. Yeah, it does get sweaty in there. But no one cares. No. Because it's about good times baby.

It's about good times. Yeah don't... Listen whenever you ever let sweat get in the way of a good time. Tell me now honestly you never have have you? Sweat always improves a good time for me. It shows that I'm working hard to achieve the good times. Often when we're organising a social event your first question will be will there be sweat? Can I wear spandex? Can I sweat?

Will I need some merino wool that wicks the heat away from my body or can I just let me just stew my own juices? And you always walk into the venue to the sound of gonna make you sweat! Ding ding ding ding ding! Anyway so I was in Munich, Fruits Fest, lovely time, I think I told you a little bit about it already, but there was a fairground there. Okay.

There was a fairground there and all the kind of rides you'd expect Including the one that you sit on it. Yeah, and you've got the straps over your shoulder. Yeah That's like a kind of harness. What do you call it? Like thing you pull down over? It's like a hard harness hard hard, but it's the sort of hard It's the sort of hard harness I presume that like a flexible harness would probably be more comfortable for you, but you wouldn't feel quite as secure. I reckon the first roller coasters probably experimented with like sort of fabric harnesses, but people probably didn't feel so safe. As safe, yeah, feel as safe. These ones are hard, they lock into place. And so we worked on a few different bits and pieces. The guys I was with, a few guys, I think it was probably three guys and a girl.

They want to go on this one that takes you right up into the air, holds you there with your legs dangling and drops you down. Right. Like a tombstone. Yeah. I didn't fancy it. It's not my kind of thing. It's not my kind of thing. So I said that you guys go on it. I'll take your stuff. And that's going to become key later in the story. And I thought, you know what I'm going to do? I've had a nice time with my friends, drinking a few beers, celebrating all the culture that Munich's got to offer.

I'm going to go get some frites. Right, nice. I'm not only going to go get some frites, I've actually got some churros as well. But that's a, I'm getting that. That's two very similar yet different meals. Very carb-y. Very carb-y.

And then I went for a sleep under the Dodgams. They're not meals though are they? They're just kind of glorified snacks I'd say. So I'm getting involved with the Freaks and their lovely European style mayonnaise. That was chocolate dip. The mayonnaise in Europe is far better than this here. It is. Why is that though? Is it fresher? Is it less fresh? They make it more traditionally, don't they? It's got more flavour to it. It's got some freaks and they add some churros, but that's by the by.

So I go and get the food and I'll go over and watch them. And I'm standing in a kind of general, you know, general space where you can actually see them. And there's a sign in German, which I later found out says, secure your personal belongings or leave them on the ground. Right. Right. Yeah. So people-

And you're like, all I've got is churros and fries. Well, I'm on it. Right. I'm not going on the ride, am I? My friends are on it, right? I thought it was a general thing. I've got their phones in my pocket already. They've already given them to me.

Okay. Sensible. But I'm standing there and the guy who's working the ride is shouting something at me in German. I know what it is. And I've had a couple of beers, so I'm a bit more relaxed. And I'm eating my fries. About 15 seconds later, the guys on the ride were at the top, something flies out of the thing and basically explodes about three or four feet from my foot. What was it then? I say explodes, it was a hairbrush.

A Bavarian hairbrush, a Bavair brush. It didn't explode but it came very close to hitting me on the fucking head. And it was then that I realised that not everyone that goes on that road, on that road follows the signs. Or can read German. Or can read the signs. Yeah. And the guy was telling me to get back, get back, get back.

Cause something always falls down. But then a few other bits kept falling out. Right. People were basically losing their personal items going on this ride. Yeah. Because I think it was taking them up and dropping them down so quick. That it was the inertia was. Yeah. Carrying quick. That it was the Adersha was carrying them. Yeah.

Yeah. Making the peace float. So I guess I learned in that moment to, if you're going to go to Germany, don't stand under a ride. Learn German and don't stand under a ride. Because on the learn German thing, that day I also was accosted by quite an aggressive German woman working in a shop Who spoke no English at all because my friend actually lives outside of Munich Yeah in the place called Heimhausen, which is about it's just a bit northwest of Munich

Where Heim live? 20 minutes. It could be actually where Heim are from. Yeah, Heimhausen, Heim's house yeah, but 20 minutes northwest of Munich and to go to this fruitings fest thing I had to get some lederhosen, some shorts and a shirt and the socks and stuff. And so my friend who does speak German, I've got loads of stuff to do, could you guys just go, me and my mate who also doesn't speak any German, can you go there and get your shorts and get your stuff ready? So I'm in the shop, fast forward, I'm in the shop, quite an aggressive German woman working

in the shop, she spoke no English, I obviously speak no German and she kept coming into the changing room and trying to show me how to put on a pair of leather shorts. And she insisted on trying to guess my size by eye rather than get a tape measure. It's better than hand, I suppose, innit? She wasn't using hand, yeah. I had to, I ended up trying on about eight different pairs for two reasons. One, because all the sizes were in centimeters rather than inches. Now, I had no service on my phone and I couldn't convert it.

Right. So I had no idea what my size is in centimeters. Secondly, because my mate picked up on this and thought it was fucking brilliant. I just kept grabbing shorts and giving them to her. She kept giving to me and making me try on. So it was yeah, it was like. Is it two and a half centimeters to an inch? No. So I'm going to check. So I'm a 36 waist, right? So I is it two and a half centimeters to an inch? No. Yeah. So I'm going to check. So I'm a 36 waist. Right.

So I think my two and a half centimeters per inch, which is still quite hard to sort of figure out when you're so in a state of disrepair and disrobing. I should have been 91 centimeters as a way. Right. Okay. Why are you staring at me? Because you got like a weird badge underneath your right. Is that part of the clothing? I think it's a repair. It's a second hand shirt. It's a repair job. There's a little hole in the back there. There's no one down here. It's got a logo on it so it can't be, I think that's an affectation. I think someone just used any patch. No, it's definitely a second hand shirt. I got it from a second hand shop.

Yeah, I just thought it might be part of the design maybe. There's another one there. Interesting. Yeah, see there's a little rip there. Sorry, I thought you'd maybe be part of the design maybe. It's interesting. Yeah, see this little rip there. Anyway, sorry, I thought you'd been hit by a hairbrush. No, yeah. So I'd love to add a great time my pals. Beers were taken all good.

But I didn't speak any German. And I guess you kind of assume these days that people are going to adhere to your Englishness. Yeah, but I would say that it's like going into like going to all the timey kind of, you know, you're going to an all the timey shop really aren't you? And buying leather trousers. That's one thing I felt like as soon as you get out of the big cities in that part of the world, it's nowhere near as homogenised as it is here in America. It's not like strip malls with the same shops, like a lot of independent places, and this place was like there's no real reason for a

tourist to be there. If you were going to go to Frühlingsfest or Oktoberfest in Munich, generally speaking, you're going to buy in town and everyone speaks English there. It's like buying a kilt in Glasgow and Edinburgh. Exactly that. It's like in the town centre. But you get yourself up to Colbukie or Easdale. They do speak English because that's the spoken language, but it's not going to be as touristy. And I think that's the lesson I probably learned. But, but you

know, it was, it was great stuff. Great memories. Smashing. How about you? Well, I actually I'm spending my summer just doing little bits and bobs here and there, you know, just cleaving off a couple of days here, cleaving off a couple of days there. Is your social life so bad now that you couldn't come up with a story for this show? No, no, I can because I went to Bratislava at the weekend. Oh, you did? I went to Bratislava, Slovakia's capital city. And it was great and I love kind of little walkable cities that don't have too much

to offer in the way of tourist stuff. Does that make sense? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And I would say that like I mentioned that I was going to go to Bratislava on one of our other podcasts in finance. We are to YouTube and a YouTube commenter for the very first time gave me a bit of useful advice rather than the usual dogs abuse I get. Devon Castle in Bratslava. Let me look it up. It's a beautiful ruin, it really is, but it's basically right on one side of the Danube, the other side of the Danube. Well it looks amazing.

Being Austria of course. And it was it was just a really really beautiful castle and I felt really good about being there but more importantly we turned up and there was this massive sort of jousting competition going on. Whoa! With people dressed in like oldie timey clothes having a good old joust and stuff and like the horses were like whipping around and trying to on the end of your lances just trying to like grab a ring from like a high vantage point. Did you do medieval baron voice? I didn't do medieval baron voice.

But it was kind of that we turned up and the man just went, guys, he was so excited for us because he was like, this doesn't happen every day. You've turned up at 4pm, one hour after a lot of us got out of bed, I must admit, but we turned up at 4pm and we had a lovely time. He basically said, you've come a great time because there is a big jousting competition taking place. Was it hot there? It was very hot. Hotter if you're wearing chainmail, to be quite frank. But like the way that the horses were like whipping around, they were running so close to where us soft fleshy humans were and they were like trampling around, they could have trampled us at any moment.

Sounds like Game of Thrones. But the guy had such control of his horse, it was really good, apart from at the end where two of the horses just ran slap bang into a tent. Huh. Do you reckon that was orchestrated though? Oh well do you reckon like a great finish? Bit of excitement at the end, yeah. I'm just looking, this castle was built in 864. Oh, it's amazing. And Napoleon blew it up, but nobody knows why he did it. Right. Because

there was no active garrison in the area, but he just turned up, blew it up and then effed off. He's thinking I'm having a bit of that. I'm having a bit of that. I just look at it on Google now it says here the opening hours non-stop. Non-stop. I guess you can just walk up to it. I would say that well apparently in that really just got Napoleon film wasn't there like a bit where Napoleon just blew the top off a pyramid which wasn't true. I haven't seen Napoleon. I haven't either. It's one of those ones on your Netflix and Amazon's of this world, of this world,

that you just sort of go, Oh, that looks long. It's also, there's a category of film and you'll know it when you see it, everyone listening, where you go, if I don't catch that in the cinema, I'm cooked. I'm not watching it. Yeah, because I am watching it on my telly at home,

being interrupted by my one year old every 20 minutes. Yeah, I don't want to see a celebrated shot ass. I don't see, I don't want to see the reflection of my own face in that television screen. No, most, well, interestingly enough, you mentioned the podium. Comparisons will be drawn from my loved ones. My friend, my friend who was stitching me up with the lederhosen in the Munich clothing shop, he is a very, very well read person on Napoleon, amateur historian type. And he told me the film was enjoyable to watch, but it was not good.

Right. Okay. Yeah. I think I don't mind films like that, to be honest. I don't really know. Bad films that are pleasant to watch, I think. What I always say to people who thankfully, right. Thankfully for the majority of my friends, um, I still have, they don't work in the entertainment industry. Right. So when they always kind

of complained stuff to me about stuff, cause I'm the de facto representative. Yeah. Um, I always say guys, nothing on TV is real. Yeah. You've got occasional documentary makers where they really do work hard to make it as accurate as possible. Everything else is going to be manipulated for entertainment purposes. And if you come into it with that mindset, don't worry about it. Yes, it's a Napoleon film about Napoleon called Napoleon, but it's by Ridley Scott. Yeah. He's going to Ridley Scott it up. And he's going to need to sell tickets.

There's going to be alien eggs coming out of the place. So I don't think you can do a blockbuster movie of historical figure without lopping the top off an Egyptian pyramid. Because it's just conversations. Their lives basically just conversations. I mean, that's not really going to wash. You could probably get about five films out of a Napoleon biopic, couldn't you? And the only way you can go about doing a film or a TV series,

which is just to communicate, just conversations is basically succession. And that. Yeah. Good point. And the writing is so snappy. You've got just a conversation, it's basic succession isn't it? Yeah, good point actually. And the writing is so snappy. Yeah, you've got to be really snappy haven't you? So what did you learn about your trip? Well, I'll say...

Did you get some bonding with your friends and some summer bonding? It's nice, yeah, we're in between them talking about the NHS and DEFRA. That's where it works. That's where it works, well, yeah, to a nice extent. Because those people listening to us regularly will know you've only got two real friends. I've only got two real friends. One works for real friends. Works for Deaf, and the other one works for an you know, we like, we like getting out there and having food, lot of dumplings, lot of black pudding, lot of goulash. Oh man, just right up my street without being too cheesy, wet me in in pastry.

I'm there without being too cheesy. Wet me, wet me. But just before we get to our listener submissions, because we've picked out three stories here, which are brilliant. Yeah. Genuinely, one of the best things about the summer is having a bit of spare time, which I don't have that much anymore because I've got my son. I used to love meeting up some pals after work. Nice evening, light evening, having a few beers in the beer garden. Do you know what? Some of my best memories of being in

London are I used to work right on the river at Hammersmith. The river just makes everything better. Stand on the river as the sun goes down after work. South bank. With a beer. Looking across. And for the purposes of this show, it will be a Beaver Town neck oil.

Thank you very much. We went out for a few and it was loads of fun. I saw a man dancing to himself in the mirror. It was in a bar. Did you really see a man, yeah? Yeah. It was a man dancing to himself in the mirror. It was in a bar. Did you really see a man? Yeah. It was a man. What did he look like? He was, he didn't seem inebriated at all. He was just loving himself, loving life,

loving the tunes in this bar. And he danced for about five minutes, just looking at himself, his face pressed up to the mirror that he was in, he was having the best time. But more importantly, myself and Al from the innovations team at the NHS, he, me and him were invited to play some foosball on a foosball table by some locals. We turn up, they say, hey, guys, whoa, we're just having such a good time. We are, do you want to play some foosball with us? Right. And so we started playing foosball. Suddenly they're brilliant. They're brilliant. And you haven't got to be brilliant to beat you at foosball anyway. No, they're doing tricks with the, uh, with the ball passing it between their defenders

and stuff. Oh, nice. But this was after we declined to play for money. We nearly got hustled. Minnesota fat style. Both same reference, both different characters. We got hustled. Someone attempted to hustle us. They've got a stinker there because you don't need to do that to hustle you. Well, no, but I'm also not very competitive so I'm never going to take anyone's bartering to be honest. Robbish, innit? Absolutely, yeah. Alright, let's turn our attention now to our listener submissions.

We did ask for stories on our Instagram, which is at Luke and Pete Show. We picked three of our favourites here and one of those is going to win a crate of beer from Beaver Town. Peter, do you want to do the first one? I'd love to do the second one. Yeah. And then we can work it out the third one. Oogie doogie. Do the first one from Sam in London.

All right, we'll do. Sam, London, the final of the European Championships. Remember it will. I know. I felt like it was all set to be the greatest day of the summer. England, the final, the sun was shining and I was off around a mate's place for a barbecue before we all watched the match together. Textbook. Oh, it's just. Absolute textbook. You know, if you were going to like make it advertorial about the best summer ever, off around a mate's place for a barbecue before we all watch the match together. Textbook. It's just absolute text.

It's, you know, if you were going to like make an advertorial about the best summer ever, that's what would be there. Yeah. Yeah. Like steak, steak on the barbie as well. I, I, I'm not sure about that. Cause like a lot of bar, a lot of barbecues you attend, the sausages are out, the, the, whatever you cook else. And then they wait for the steak. Once everyone's full, they get the steaks out. No, I think that, no, you think that cause you're cynical. And then they wait for the steak. Once everyone's full, they get the steaks out. I know. I think that you think that because you're cynical. They're doing the steaks last because they cook the quickest. Right. I like it when you go to a barbecue and they're

something about the ornery on there. Fish. Yeah. You wrap up. What's that you got? Tuna. A lovely fish in an aluminium parcel. I've spiked an aubergine on a can. A can of tuna. No, not a can of tuna. But people, so you know what they do? Dolly mixtures. You know what they do in American barbecues? What? You'll love this. They make their own spicy baked beans. Oh, okay. And

they put them in a pot on the fire. I famously hate baked beans but spicy ones. But you know what I mean, it sounds a bit different. It's a bit different isn't it? Yeah, they make their own. Anyway, Sam goes on. Like any good guest I decided it would be rude not to turn up without a gift for the host so on the way over I popped into a local corner shop for a crate of beer. As I walked into the first aisle in the shop I could spot one of those yellow wet floor signs in the distance but as I clocked it my phone vibrated with some sort of notification so as I made my way down the aisle, engrossed in the message in my phone, I failed to tread carefully.

Now you may think the story ends up with me flat on my back, which it does, but it was so much more worse than that. As I lost my foot in my phone, went flying out one hand and with the other, I grabbed the closest thing I could touch to steady myself. That closest thing was the shelf of pasta sauces in front of me. Oh dear. Oh dear. Unfortunately, that shelf was not, as you might assume, drilled to the floor. It was freestanding and very much ready to move. Next thing I knew, I'm laying on the tile floor, covered in pasta sauce, broken glass and shame as a group of kids start to film my demise. So the most embarrassing thing in that story for me is then people were going to assume that you were going to buy a ready-made pasta sauce because making pasta sauce is really easy.

Or maybe he, yeah, I guess people in the supermarket might think that you were so excited by the idea of eating pasta sauce, you've covered yourself in pasta sauce. Yeah, it's not great, is it? No, it's not. I hope you weren't injured, Sam, because obviously being covered in glass is not a good thing. And these days, you know, you are never more than a few paces away from someone on the phone wanting to film you, which is not ideal. I've done...

I hope that he had the beers in his hand and he just like cracked one open, he's like, it's not going to be improved. I will pay for it, I'll scan it on the way out. I'll scan it on the way out, but I'm coming in your pasta sauce. Do you know parents do that in supermarkets? Their kids are desperate for snacks. So you get them a snack on the way around. And you have to open it up early. I'm fairly certain, I've watched a few lawyers talk this through, that it is, are you depriving someone of buying that because you've started eating it? Yes, you have, so it is technically a crime.

But I'm not going to approach a mum or a dad who's been dealing with a crying child and sort of tell you off because you're going to get a punch on the nose. I've seen so many things like that and I used to work in the supermarket for years. You used to eat in there? You used to eat the produce? You used to eat the produce? Well it's perk of the job. It is perk of the job. But I've seen so many people fall and slip on those floors.

Yeah. And it is properly worrying because it was an old person. So I remember once in the supermarket, an old lady sadly slipped on her thing. She was fine. She's actually fine. But it was like a big drama because you got to try to backflip. Yeah. So what were you worried about? So that is a terrible way to start the, um, the final of the European championships. But I would say, Sam, I think it could be a lot, it could be a lot worse for him. Wearing a Spain shirt of pasta sauce.

He sounds like he was unharmed. Yeah. He can get home, dust himself down, have a shower, go again, go again. Have a shower beer probably. One of the best beers. Alright, what about this one from Claire in Sunlight? I love this one. I had something rather unfortunate happen to me this summer, which I imagine I'll be telling people about down the pub for some time to come.

We recently moved house and paid decorators to paint the outside of our new place. We live on the street of Terrace houses and hadn't yet met the neighbors opposite us when this took place. We booked in the decorators and both went into the office on the day they were due to paint the front of the house. Before we get to the next bit, I should say it's been a bit of a frantic summer as we've been organizing a wedding as well as moving house, so I've been a bit more frazzled than usual. Anyway, I gave the decorators the wrong house number. I told them we were number seven, which is the number of our old house where we used to live, when actually we were number six.

To my horror, I got home from work to discover they had painted the wrong house, and the couple that lived there were on holiday. Another neighbor gave me their number, and phoning them up to introduce myself and explain what happened was truly one of the lowest moments of my life But it might be funny one day now Claire's not mentioned the color here if the color is a fairly neutral color

I'm Claire's neighbor. I'm happy with that. Oh, yes. I would fucking notice my house, but I'm happy with that Yeah, I because I obviously illegally paint in my neighbors Wall didn't know by accident by accident over the summer months. Another little summer adventure for me. I painted a... You painted a mural though. It wasn't a painting. Not like a political mural. It was a beautiful seaside scene. It was a seaside scene. It was a scene.

Blues were involved, yellows were involved, whites were involved, all right? Clouds, sea, everything in there. You made your consistent parts. But I think you're right actually, if they did a good job and you got a proper painter to do it, I mean it would be annoying to pay for it twice and the paint is certainly not in there. So if the paint was good and the nice colour and neutral colour and it made the house a real spruce up the house, I'd probably say in the spirit of neighbourly good relations, I'd say I'll pay half. Right, you'd pay half. I'll pay half!

You'd pay half? Yeah! For getting your house painted? Why have you couldn't afford it? Well, because getting the house painted, well fine, if I couldn't afford it, I couldn't afford it, but getting the house painted on the outside is the kind of dictionary definition job I would just never get done. Right, yeah.

If the universe has decided that it's been done without me knowing about it, you've got to make lemonade out of that. Someone do me pointing. You've got to make Beaver Town beer out of that. So I think the context is important. I would admit, I would definitely admit that on Claire's behalf, it's a fairly low percentage way to start your new neighbour relations. It's quite a high risk move.

It's a little bit like, I want to live in a nicer street, so I'm going to start painting other people's houses. It's passive aggressive. It is passive, yeah. But the, and I understand how it happens though, because it takes you ages to learn that kind of muscle memory thing about where you live, where your house is, what your number is, what your postcode is. Because I remember when I first, when I moved into my current house, a couple of times I

started to commute home to my current house, a couple of times I started the commute home to my old house. Yeah. It was a completely different part of London. And I also know for a fact that when my family moved from the family home into the house they're in now, my mom got as far as not working out why her key wouldn't fit in the front door of the old house to the owner of the house. The owner of the new owner of the old house was like, what are you doing? Luckily he recognized her from the moon so it does happen yeah these things do happen yeah so that's an incredible story though but do you want to finish off with this third one? Yeah I'll work out a bit before we chip off uh the most amazing thing happening to me this summer

this is Richard from Kent I found a shoe box full of two pound coins in the park kicked a ball at the bush it was just there. That's amazing! So it basically um it must have amounted to about £300 in total, says Richard. That's £152 coins. That certainly is, yeah. Look at the math. So two questions. What do I do?

Do I keep it or is this something I need to report? And secondly, when I do decide to keep it, what should I spend the money on? What will you guys spend the money on? Yeah, so you've already decided you're going to keep it. You're already going to keep it, yeah. Well, I think for me, I told you, no, fairly recently, I think it was on the election night, I found £10 note in the street and there was no one around. So I just kept it and I gave it to the big issue lady next day. There's a threshold here, isn't there? A shoe box

for two quid. That seems like, that seems deliberate. Someone's running an amusement arcade scam. A pachinko parlour. All I'm saying is we can all, you might have your own interpretation of the scale, but there is a scale here. If you were getting your football back from a bush and there was a plastic bag full of 50 grand and a load of other stuff. That seems like I'm going to get in trouble if I take this. I'm thinking more trouble than it's worth. I'm moving on.

Yeah. I don't care. I didn't say anything. No. But I think £300 in that, sorry, 300 pounds in that denomination. Yeah. Is it lucky day or is it, you know, someone's going to see, going to miss that. Going to the laundrette, going to wash my clothes, all of my clothes and my neighbor's clothes. Do you know what I'd do? I would do, all right, it was pretty well hidden.

I'm going to leave it. Yeah. I'm going to give it a week. Yeah. And if no one's going to spend a hidden. I'm gonna leave it. Yeah, I'm gonna give it a week Yeah, and if it's gonna lay the week. Yeah, I'm having it. I'm having them I'm just I'm not taking the shoebox for me sure that's gonna remain there. I'm just gonna spoon them into my trousers just use your pocket. She's your pockets. Yeah, but spook don't get spoon Big ladle bring a big money ladle. There's a guy in the park with loads of coins, right? Yeah He's using a spoon to spoon them into his trousers. What shall I do?

I think he's an artist. Do not approach. Do not approach. I would say if you are going to keep it Richard, I would say spend the money on something that's genuinely good way of using the money. Mm, yeah. I gave my £10 to the big issue lady, that's up to me. You know, we've got a bank holiday, an August bank holiday coming up.

Oh yeah, buy a couple of beers. Well, you know, we can get out there and dry a pint of neck oil, one of Beaver Town's faves, I think it's fair to say. And we can, I think we should be hanging out looking in bushes, I think. Sounds like it, we'd be doing it anyway. We'd be doing it anyway. Shall we pick our favourite emailer? Yeah.

Mark, I'll be honest with you right now, my firm favourite emailer is Clarence Underlin and the house painting. Yeah, because it's beautiful. It's Passag, it's awkward. You love a neighbourly dispute slash awkwardness because you can dominate them. I'm not going to come in on that. I'm not going to let you have that.

I'm not going to come in on that. I like sounds, man, because like just the ignominy of having just a lot of pasta sauce on you. I always find that when things are spilt in a public place, there's a massive weight of guilt that you're going to have to eat. However bad you offer to clean up, you're not going to get it. There's a public health issue there. You'd still be in there cleaning up now.

Yeah, exactly. So who's a hat on the glass? Yeah. Who's our favourite then? Well I think, alright I'll settle on our favourite being Claire from Sunlight. Great!
