The Luke and Pete Show - Another Glass of Amniotic Fluid, Sir?

Episode Date: September 11, 2025

Today's show opens with the bombshell revelation that Peter has enjoyed breakfast with the Oliver twins, creators of the Dizzy franchise! But what did they eat? Eggs, presumably. The lads also find time to revisit one of their favourite talking points - exactly when did it become necessary to drink so much water? Peter thinks it's a waste of time; he got all the hydration he needed from the amniotic fluid in his mother's womb.Speaking of water, there's a new sewer being dug right outside Luke's house, courtesy of the good people at Thames Water, and before they go there's just enough time to discuss the government's phone alert test and your battery submissions.

And we're heading towards basically the Christmas period where I up my green ginger wine levels. Incredibly.

I have become a bit of a green ginger wine enthusiast, Lukie Moore, and I have been drinking it throughout the summer, and I will continue to do so through the winter months. And I'm looking forward to. Everyone's got their idea of their lovely lattes, walks through a park as the leaves fall from the trees. But I'm very much a, I like to drink a bottle of green ginger wine a week. I'm literally on the bill lower than green ginger wine on this show now. That's correct, yes.

I don't even get a chance to say hello until you talk about your green ginger wine. Sorry, I got excited. I wasn't really sure what to say about your week because sometimes we're recording and I say what we've been doing this week and sometimes you've got something, sometimes you haven't. So I felt like I thought I'll throw in the green ginger wine grenade. and then you don't have to think about anything. Weirdly enough, I was at a friend's house for dinner last weekend.

Yeah. And it was a beautiful dinner. I did a brisket of beef with some dough finnoisse potatoes, some vegetables. Oh, yes, please. And a little lemon posset afterwards, which was very welcome. I wasn't expecting the dessert, but it came out. A welcome lemon posset. Very nice.

And then I was offered a drink after dinner. I just finished my glass of wine. And somewhere other whiskey. the other one, someone else, pulled out of greens ginger wine. What are weird coincidence? What's the simulation trying to tell us? What's the chances of you have

a little green ginger wine with it? I'm not really sure what you're supposed to have with it. I think there might have been a little dram in there. A little bit of whiskey as well as green ginger wine. That makes sense. I think so. Oh, well, well done. Does that be good?

Yeah, I'd drink that, definitely. I drink that. It doesn't narrow it down, does it? Doesn't narrow it down, does it? I'd a lovely unfiltered beer. a little week while ago and I spoke about it on the show and I'm yet to find it

in your commoner garden supermarket so I'm a little bit of free with hello fresh didn't get it free with hello fresh no I'd like that sometimes you get a little can I've still got those they sometimes give you a tiny

can of side of some reason which I think is for cooking or last week we got a beer of Moretti with sea salt in which I saw off yeah I don't I can't even

listen stop inventing stuff stop inventing stuff there's no need to put salt a beer. You've already invented so much stuff that we don't get anyway. If you go to America and all of the tut and the pop and the cat that you get out of there we don't get. So I think we should

I had a sprite with tea, a spright tea if you will, a lemon tea from the good people of Coca-Cola this afternoon. I recommend it to Marcus. I don't think he's ever going to try it, but it might be the gateway drug that he needs to have caffeinated hot drinks. Well, yeah, I mean, so

it's basically presumably some kind of like Lipton iced tea type vibe, but with Sprite. Yeah. So it's basically like an Arnold Palmer. Pretty much, yeah. Massive hog. Massive hog.

Massive hog. I love. Those cans of Arnold Palmer you get from Arizona in the US. Yeah. As in the brand Arizona, not the state. They're delicious. I mean, it's just, it is an incredible amount of sugar. And I think for British people, you just don't get that much sugar in your drinks here.

No, you really, and when you sort of have, like, when people sort of say a sweet tea, what you're thinking, two, two spoonfuls, two teaspoons of sugar out there, a sweet tea, it's just like horrific. Yeah, and which is weird because they've got much better teeth than us. That's a good point. Yeah, it's a good point, actually, yeah. So how does that work? Maybe they're just more tactical with their brushing.

I don't know. Maybe they are. Maybe they are. But what's been floating your boat this week, Peter? I was in the beautiful market town of Trowbridge and Wiltshire last week. Was I in Wiltshire? Doing my rest is politics type thing. Oh, yeah, I've been to Trowbridge.

Where have I been? I went to Kings Cross, did a wrestling me live show? show over the weekend. Oh yeah, talk to me about that. Dressed as gangrel, the vampire. And we thought it was going to be,

because it was slap bang in the middle of, you know, like the three o'clock alarm, the three o'clock alarm that the government were thrown at us. Yeah. Oh, that's, I've got a little mini story about that, but you carry on. The three o'clock alarm that everyone's thrown at us.

We are, I thought it was going to be like a cacophony. And I, like, had a little sort of set pace that I was going to do while the 3 p.m. alarm was going off in the auditorium. You know, there's a couple hundred people in there and we were doing the show and at 3pm we thought this alarm was going to go off.

But it lasted for about half an hour. People's phones were going off. It's either an alert or it isn't. You know what I mean? Like half an hour is a long time. Who's getting prioritised there? Who's got a chance to prepare for that emergency and who isn't? Half an hour is a long time in the old,

in the life cycle of, I don't know, a volcano. If it's a volcano eruption or a tsunami, half an hour makes all the difference. Are you going to be that bloke caught at Pompey having a wank? Or are you going to be out of there? Could I have three wanks in that time. So what actually happened then?

You just had to wait for it to pass on this live show. Yeah, just went, well, no, not really. I thought it was going to be a big cacophony. But in the end, it was just like a, eh, you want to look at your phone. You don't have to do if you don't want to. That's kind of vibe. But it was lasting for like, you know, half an hour out of 45 minutes people's phones were going on. It was very strange.

So we were driving back from Trowbridge at the time. And Trobich, sorry, isn't a market town. It's the county town of Wilkshire. Right. What, I never know what a spa town is. I never know what a, Well, I think the clues in the name there, Peter, it has or at once did have a spar in it, I expect.

Yeah, but, yeah, but like, is that really the centrepiece of it? Are you going to build your whole thing around, like, yeah, is it kind of, a spars, like, was it a big deal back then? Is it a big deal now? Are the spa still operating? I'll tell you who are from Trowbridge, Peter. The Strokes. Yeah, the strokes, yeah.

They are, yeah. They used to go to the town, the St. James Parish Church, and that's what they met. No, the Oliver Twins Who created the Dizzy franchise Oh, they feel very Trowbridgey I've met them They're a curious

A couple of egg men They actually look like eggs Twin brothers Two and brothers The Oliver Twins Yeah they made Umpteen Eggs I went for like a

I went for like a boozy breakfast With them That's a bit weird Isn't it? Boozy breakfast with the Oliver twins They were very nice Did you have eggs? Well

Yes I think we did actually I think that was a whole Was there a joke made If not as an opportunity you missed A York made. There was a very much a, yeah, it was, it was deliberately done at a breakfast bar so that we could all have egg themed items. Was it really? Yeah, it was, yeah. They were re, they were re-cooking some fucking, what capacity, and what capacity were you attending? Um, as a member of the

press, yeah, Oliver twins were in a, in the breakfast, it's actually down the road from our new office, like a, uh, over the road from Wise Buddha. There was a, it was an enjoyable breakfast. It was nice. It was very, a bit egg heavy, but what was like, it was like, yeah, it was like, expecting, really. It was a free breakfast, I had a mimosa or two, and then met the Oliver twins. But they're notable eggs themselves now. Right. But they've still got like

the hair around their ears. Do you know what I mean? Like that kind of, yeah, that lovely kind of eggy, eggy, that's good, they're leaving the brand. Yeah, exactly. But they'll forever know being as the dizzy men who made dizzy. But it's interesting, isn't it? Because like if they say there was like a big

resurgence in the popularity of the dizzy franchise. Yeah. And then some big studio wanted to do a new version of the game. Presumably, in 2025, the Oliver twins have no skills. Yeah, that's what I always think. I always sort of think that when they get all developers in, it's like, oh, these guys made the, yeah, but they can't program anymore. They don't do it now, are they? They don't out of use shaders. They don't use 3D graphics. It was all, it was all sprites back then. Yeah, you do sort of think that, you know, things are past them by, and it's not going to be that which of a success. But yeah, I, yeah, I completely agree, actually.

Yeah, nobody wants to, nobody, get video games have changed so much since then. Nobody needs a new video game unless you have a younger team who kind of know how to program and have to create video games for the, um... You just have to sell the IP on and just oversee and just occasionally nod your head and go, yeah, that looks good, thanks. That looks definitely an egg. Let me have a look. Get your egg out your pocket, compare it to what's on the screen. Yeah, it's, it's funny because those back then video game developers would get, they'd be, they'd be like they were.

They would be like 15-year-olds, 16-year-olds make these video games. and they'd sell them to... It's kind of a bit of the Wild West about it, weren't there? Yeah, massively. And they'd sell them to the... They'd sell them to these companies. And the companies would be very much like...

The companies would give them like 15 grand, 20 grand, and they'd deliver it. And you'd never see them again, really. And obviously, the rights to the Disney franchise was probably with Codemasters, rest in peace, who I think have just hit the wall. I've certainly closed on... Surely if Codemasters are no longer with us,

it reverts to the great Oliver Twins themselves. No, someone will have that IP in their backpock. But like Codmasters have been quite successful for quite a long time. They did all of the rally video games and stuff. I think Colin McCray and stuff and Tauker and stuff. They were all codmaster joints. But yeah, their Lily has lost some of its guild these days. Yeah, the Oliver Twins did a lot of different games.

I was looking at on Wikipedia. They're the author of quite a lot of games from 1980. all the way through to 2018. But they're making NES games in 2018. That's weird. Oh, what? They're making new ones and stuff.

Yeah, that's quite interesting. I think it's like a Kickstarter-type project where you just get... Yes. Have you ever back to Kickstarter before? Don't think so, no. No. I think I've...

I have supported loads of them and I think I've... Out of the 10, I think I've supported. I think I've received about three. Three of them. What happens if it doesn't get the money? Does it just, the money just revert to you, did it? Um, no, no, they, no, because they take the money to develop the thing,

not they? Because it's kind of a bit of a punt. So you just basically go into eyes open, knowing that it might go by the wayside? Well, no, you go into it, hope it. I remember, yeah, I remember buying a guitar that was, like a kind of, an oil can guitar that I never received. That was a, that was a long six-month, trying to get the money back out of that. How much did you put into that? I was like $2.50, I think.

It was a nice little, nice little kids. You got more money than a sense, boy. I used to I used to I was I had I had a dream where I was

in the Smashing Pumpkins Luke that's disappointing isn't it I was And I What era though

Simon's dream If so No very much Very much playing a little gig in a pub So now Not now They're doing

They're just Didn't they just do A massive show In Chelmsford They're still Playing massive Massive places Yeah

I love that I love that when you See any interview Like Billy Corgan He makes a series Of outrageous his claims. I saw one recently where he was saying

that he had a beer or coffee or something with Butch Vig. Right. And then, oh, it just so happened. A couple of weeks later, he heard the first demos of an utero with Nirvana that Butch Vig was producing and they just

stolen his guitar sound. I was like, well, I don't think Nirvana really have stolen your guitar sound. He, fuck, he, there is You didn't invent guitar, like, you didn't invent distortion on guitar, Billy? You could power a village with the hatred that he has for one Kirk Cabin. It is absolutely... He claims, I saw him on Joe Rogan claiming that he still gets vitriol from Nirvana fans

or members of Nirvana's like road crew now. And I just like, you don't. You just don't. That's not the case. But like I do sort of think, like, he, I'm astounding about how... You got to remember, like, I guess back then, his music was, even in its kind of earlier form, his music was, it's quite grungy still, but very creative and, you know, we're more expansive than what Nirvana did.

Yeah, he would do a lot of layering guitar parts. He had a very specific way of doing things. And if you listen to stuff like melancholy, you can hear that. But I don't think it's, I just don't think it's that similar to Nirvana. But, yeah, and Nirvana is a much simpler, you know, punk rock band basically. in many ways and it's just funny that he can't believe

that he's getting away with doing what he's doing you know more than a feeling by journey or whatever doing that's not more than a feeling is by Boston

sorry Boston sorry not journey don't stop believing his journey don't stop believing his journey yeah okay I feel I'll do it there Pete when you will and you will continue

and and he's good looking and all the girls love him and Billy Corgan looks like an egg another egg and it's just funny Did you have practice with him? You've met him

presumably you've met Billy Corbyn, have you? Yeah, lots of times I've really got on with them I thought he was a good interview he was obviously he's in a

I'm sure I'm sure he's great I just think that if you're going to claim that you kind of invented layering of guitar sounds I mean you know Jimmy Page might have something to say about that

He absolutely Hits Kirkman Yeah Can I go back to the phone alarm and basically say that when that was supposed to happen we had quite a busy weekend and we're driving back from the aforementioned

beautiful county town of Wiltshire that is trope the Oliver Twins and disgraced former snooker player Stephen Lee lest we forget but that's another story Big fat guy got busted for cheating Oh cheating at Tanooga? Yeah, fixing.

Fixing. Oh, right, okay, yeah. Is that cheating or is that that that's That's kind of, I guess it is cheating in a way, but you're not cheating on... Agreeing to lose ahead of time. You're not cheating on the bears, are you? You're cheating, you're cheating yourself. You're cheating. Your own ability.

Yeah, your own integrity. I don't really, I mean, the thing is, like, I'm going to digress here. Stephen Lee, as far as I remember, I mean, he seemed like an absolute dickhead, and he was a big fat lad. But he was really good. I'm questioning. be really good at snooker and um he must have earned some decent money i'm just looking now he's won five ranking tournaments he was the fifth best player in the world in 2001 and 2004 he must have made some dough right how much money is he realistically getting for match

fixing this is what this is this is why i am super um like cynical about people talking about spot fixing in but football betting football games and stuff like i'll throw in here and booking there and stuff. Because you can't really lump on lords of money without it looking sauce. Do you know what I mean? You're never going to make it. And the markets just get suspended.

Yeah. Yeah. So anyway, the point I was going to make was that. We're driving back from Trowbridge and it was going to be the siren, the phone siren. But finally, about an hour before that, we'd finally got our son to sleep in the car. They needed a nap big time.

And I was thinking, As soon as our phones go off, that's it. And my phone was on the dash charging in the car, but we couldn't locate the Wi-5 access to his phone, but it was in the car somewhere. Oh, no. That's not ideal. And the clock was ticking, boy.

It was like the world's shittest, like, thriller. Did you manage to sort of get yourself in a little bit to spare? Right, okay, nice. Yeah, and we turned it off in time, and he slept all the way through, all the way home, So it was a happy ending. It was pretty stressful because I was quite clearly stating to the Wi-Fi of access to time and time again, I cannot find it, I'm quite simply driving the car down the motorway, you're going to need to find it. And by the way, it's your phone.

Yeah, I get a lot of stuff done that I shouldn't have to do, I would say, when I'm driving down the motorway. And I'm like, my hands are all over the place going, giving that and charging this and plugging this in. Yeah. Oh, the son I have access to, he's terrible for it. It's just me and him in the car. He'd be like, Dada, I want to hold your hand. It's like, you can't hold my hand out and driving the car. Dada, I want water.

Okay, there's water there. I want different water. No. Always water. I think it's these well hydrated children that seem to think that water is, it's just another thing, isn't it? No, I'd put money on the fact. You had water five minutes ago. You don't need more water.

I'd put money in the fact that for the first 15 years of my life, my parents never offered me any water. no never had it they were like look you had your amniotic fluid you flyed about in that you were in you were in the bath for nine months you don't need water now sunshine you had a bath on Sunday night yeah exactly yeah there was no there was no I don't remember a single water break at school with the only thing we had at school was like a horrendous fountain yeah the people used to spray each other with

that was it yeah I never once took a bottle of water to school with me No, never happened. And now it's just like your kids get in school and the water is the thing that they need all of it. They need access to water all of the time. Like they're weird plants. Like we're all right, aren't we? We're pretty relatively healthy.

What if these kids grow up and they're too wet? The amount of water in their body is too... But I think it means that you need more water. Do you know what I mean? Because the more you drink it, the more you need it. The more you think you need it, at least. It's like cocaine. It's to build your tolerance up.

if we carry on the way we're going you and I would have now three liters of water in one go exactly completely agree but I read also before that this is not meant as medical advice to anyone listening but I meant I read that um when that kind of this is how much water you should consume thing first came out a number of years ago it didn't take into account the idea that like you're also getting quite a lot of water from your food yes so for example if you had like I don't know an apple that's like 95% water yeah yeah so when you get getting a lot of water out of that as well. So there's a lot of different areas you can get it from.

Puddles. Anyway, let's take a break, Peter. When we come back, we've got batteries to do, boy. All right, then. Let's do some batteries next on the Luggan Beach Shop. Thank you for your patience. Your call is important. Can't take being on hold anymore.

We're back with some batteries, if that's all right with you. If you found a battery in your home or in your workplace, but you quite important need to have access to the battery. You need to basically be in your possession to send this to the Littlepicture. Hello, Lukepichot is the way to do it. Is the hello at Lukepichot.com. Sorry, rather. It's the email address. I'm in bits this afternoon. I tell you what. Zach has got in touch.

Hello again chaps to try and make amends for the absolute shame I feel of previously submitting the Commoner Garden TC Best We enjoyed it We enjoyed the TC Best I remember the TC Best The recent TC Best anyway

Sometimes you get a battery You don't see that often You know it's not a great good player A new player But it's just nice to get a mention You know Exactly completely agree Yes I've scoured every battery

Powered Alliance in my home And work in search of better potential new players However my illiter's findings Could prove controversial As I don't remember the battery daddy rules on rechargeable cells. I submit for your judgment. He thinks it's...

I mean, he thinks it's like three eyes, I think. But for me, it looks like the word life, kind of. Not really. Does it? It's no. It looks like HFE to me. Yeah, I think you're right. I think it is HFE.

Yeah. A 750 milliamp hour rechargeable. The name of this cell is open for debate. I can't really figure out myself. The submission was found inside a decibel meter. This guy's got a lot of fucking gadgets because exactly as the guy who messaged us before about the car paint thickness gauge.

Oh, nice, okay. Yeah, he's got all kinds of gadgets. Lovely. So he's got a... I mean, presumably he must be working in a garage, maybe. If he's got a car thickness... If he's spraying cars for a living and he's... Your dream job?

My dream job. And he's also making so much noise that it would require a decibel meter. I would very much like to know what Zach does So do you get into the sack And it's all confusing by the fact He's also got a German keyboard On his laptop as well

Which is interesting He's got the umlouts over some of the letters He's an absolute enigma Yeah, Zach I want to know more about your life But he has found one which we think is HFE So we're going to go for that Luke is there an HFE It's a moody sort of grey

I think this submission to the battery daddy but I think it's worth a crack personally I think we deserve to I think it deserves to be a new player I think we open it up to the floor for challenges and more of that in a minute but until we see a successful challenge we crown it as a new player

and give him his flowers because he's had a tough old role he tried TC best he's been down and out but he's picked himself up again I think he deserves the benefit of doubt so that's what I would say I've just googled HFE or HFE is correctly known

and it is coming up as HFE that logo that very confusing crap logo that looks like is built from built out of Domino's one of the things you do need it when it comes to a brand and a logo is it needs to be cleared

it does need to be clear and they've not they've fallen at the first hurdle there haven't they? Completely agree can you just read the PS as well because Zach's got some more information on the car paint thickness gauge because we talked about it before

about why he needed it and how it worked. Okay, dokey. Well, the car pinned thickness gauge from my previous email is a handy little tool I used to quickly establish whether a car has been previously

repainted anywhere due to accident damage. Useful information to know when dealing with high value in collector cars where originality is king, no OEM nonsense for Zach. Oh, so, okay, he's working. What an interesting dude?

I know, I know. He's, um, have you ever seen those, um, it's like a weird, like sort of little pen that's got a magnet on the end, I think, that is of a certain strength that you sort of stick to the car and pull it back and if it's not been painted it pulls that back really far because the metal

is, you know, the metal is attracting the magnet but if it's add filler, which is obviously not magnetic, it doesn't pull back all that much. Nice, nice idea. So it's a nice little touch there but yeah, I'd very much like one of those to test all of the cars in my area see if they've had paint or not.

People might have something to say about that. Yeah, exactly. But it's a new player for Zach anyway. New player, Zach. Well done, Zach. And interesting German keyboard there. Martin, it says, hello, a third-time email, a first-time battery submitter.

After your recent drought of submissions, I hope to get in on the action and enter the daddy. Enter the daddy. My hopeful but not confident nomination was found on the floor of my local Morrison supermarket. I hope you kept all of it, Martin, because that's the rules. Picture enclosed and the battery is Tekin.

He's ticking his time. He's entering a battery into the battery daddy, and we'll see whether it's a winner or not. Would you make it to the photo? He's actually taking the photo in the supermarket. In the supermarket. It's in a double set as well. I don't even know.

If you went to the supermarket, I don't think you'd even be able to buy those. They seem to have fallen out of something. They seem to have a barcode on them for sure. No, they really don't. But tech in digital power. They're in his hand. I'm having it.

They're a new player. They are a new player. player, lovely. Congratulations to you, Martin. That's on two new players in a row. I wasn't expecting a new battery to have such a clear and understandable word in its name. Do you know what I mean? I thought it would be a collection jumble of numbers and names and letters and stuff. Anyway, well done. Let's go for three out of three. Nick from Stockport, good afternoon, the link of the Pete. I listen to today's episode in September, 4th of September 25. I haven't done my absolute horror.

My previous new entry into the Battery Daddy, the Kerrector Heavy Duty, extra Heavy Duty, was scannessly declared as a new player again. My entry was actually read out in the episode from the 1st of September 2020 and included a jaunty little song from Pete to accompany it. I hope that this injustice will be corrected post-taste

to avoid any reputational damage such a storied and prestigious feature. Cheers, Nick from Stockport. And, yeah, so Nick from Stockport was originally a Care Rector-Evey extra heavy duty guy we were unable to find that email in the email box and so nick from stockport is the is the one who's who was the original one i guess yeah so dan heron who was the submiter of the k rector last week he's going to have his status revoked revoked yeah there is a 30 you know there's a 30 day cool and off period for the look at beach your battery daddy i mean

we don't choose the halls that are like at the back of the battery daddy it's very much at the front So you do get, as the months go on, you do move backwards. There's the administration error, Dan. You've been the victim of it. What can we say? We've run a pretty tight ship here, but errors do happen. So we're not saying that you can't resubmit a new battery. I'm sorry to be the bearer of quite cruel news.

But Nick from Stockport is the Nick Picker here, Nick Picker. He's the one who's got upset about it instantly. He's lodged the appeal, which has been upheld. And Dan, I'm afraid you miss out at this point But if you want to submit an appeal of your own You know where to do so Exactly, this could run and run I'm really excited actually

I like this too new players though Pete It's not bad Yeah No, it's not too bad at all Two new players and a bit of admin I don't mind it I don't mind it as sure's got Pretty good

Before we go Just a quick one from me Did I tell you that You know I've got this long running beef With Thames water Yes you hate them I say bees They don't know about it

no um one side of beef wet beef they've just closed my entire street oh that is gonna that's gonna upset you isn't it that's gonna get you got right outside our house is well it's a bit of a funny one because on one hand it is annoying all the obvious reasons yeah

on the other hand there is a digger permanently outside our house every day and my son's delighted so he just stands on the chair looking up the window oh lovely so what are they doing they replacing lead pipes, or they just trying to stop the water from coming out of the floor. An entire sewer pipe collapsed. Oh, God.

So it's just a, I mean, with a sewer pipe, I guess, it's underground in the soil. Can the soil just not be the pipe now? Do you know what I mean? Do you work for Thameswater? That's what that's kind of thing they say, isn't it? Yeah, I know. Can the pipe just not be the thing now? Because, like, all right, fine, the old ceramics have smashed.

But, I mean, please do. any sewage workers or water. I'd love to get a letter through from Thames water through the door, just post through the door saying, bad news, the sewer pipes collapsed. Good news, the soil is now the sewer. The soil is now the sewer. Apologies for the convenience, goodbye.

Yeah, I don't think it quite works like that. So they've done like a massive hole. And to be fair, I do mean massive. It's about 10 feet deep. Right. And it's so deep they've had to put those metal things around it to prop the structure up so it doesn't collapse in on itself. Oh my God, that's amazing.

And I just saw them earlier, lowering a new pipe thing in. It looked like it was kind of plastic, to be fair. No, they don't smash, do they? They're their UPBC now, I reckon. Yeah, it's good stuff. It's good stuff. Yeah, because the old ones are all kind of Victorian here, aren't they?

All hail the UPF. Can you imagine how much, how expensive it would be to, you know, re-replace all of the pipes that are smashed with, like, new kind of, you know, I don't know what you even use, like pot pipes. Yeah, they're all, like, they all seem like they're clay, like, but if you had to do just one street or half street of that which is not even a big street

it would just be horrendous I mean it would take forever but the scale of the job is massive you'd be quite annoyed if the UPVC pipes were coming in when were they coming in 40s 50 something like that well if they're the original pipes from when these houses were built

then they're like 1900 yeah so like they've never been replaced but it'd be funny if like you were the person who was installing these you know the last of the ceramic pipes. I'm not really sure what is it made? It's just ceramic. I think they're clay. I'm pretty sure they're clay.

Fired clear pipes and you do sort of go well, well all right, that's been put in and then next week we're not going to use these anymore and you have consigned you know an entire sewage system to die sooner than it would do if it was a UPVC pipe. Or maybe people who walk working

water they may think that they may come back at me. Hello, www.com and let me know that they're way more reliable than the plastic ones. You never know. It's like what you're talking about there is almost like a paradox, isn't it? You almost don't want to put

a pipe in that's right near the end of its kind of technological life span. If you know that really if you know that really much better modern stuff coming in in a year or two. Yeah, completely. It's almost like that paradox that

where say like you wanted to fly a spaceship to a star 30 light years away. So that's basically a light year is the distance that it takes light to travel for a year. So it's fucking a long way, right? Yeah, yeah. If you did that and you developed a spaceship that took, say, X amount of years to get there

and it was a long time, chances are by the time that it's going to get there, you probably could have developed another one that will get even faster and get there before the one that you already sent. So there was no point sending the one that you already sent. Do you understand what I mean?

Yeah, yeah, no, exactly. That would be upsetting. That kind of obsolescence just sort of really, really biting you on the bomb. Imagine being on the first one, and you just see the other one flying past you. Yeah, annoying. Not even good first one there.

It's like getting on the Essex loop to Fenchert Street. And also, isn't it slightly depressing when you contemplate those drills that drilled all the Elizabeth flying? They're just destined to stay at the bottom of those tunnels. aren't they? They can't bring them out again. You know that upsets me. It's like the dead balls.

Digging their own grave. Digging their own grave. You know, that sort of thing really, really gets me sad. It is sad. Oh, dear. Anyway, all right, let's go. Let's get out of here. We've been in Little Peach Show.
