Remember, just wear a t-shirt from an obscure punk band. Either that or dress up like a diseased Hobgoblin mascot.Email: [e-mail] or you can get in touch on X, Threads or Instagram.***Please take the time to rate and review us on Apple, Spotify or wherever you get your pods.

It's the Luke and Pete Show and you're quite welcome to it Pete Dawson with you. I'm joined by Mr. Lukey Moore. It is Monday the 9th of December. Take it, take it. I take it. You know what and and if you wait long enough you'll have another one. You'll have another one as well. Take it. It's like a little advent calendar with only four doors on December and just enjoy it that's what I say what happened on the December the 9th oh plane crash in Mexico in 2012 1987 the Israel-Palestinian conflict. Glad they sorted that one out in the end. Trey Cool's birthday. It's Trey Cool.

Trey Cool was born on that day. Yeah. He's not been counted, is he? No, he's all right, I think. Jumein Beckford, the English-Jamaican footballer, was born on this day, as was... Yeah, nobody else I know. So I'm glad we got that one. So I nailed down anyway. Trey Cool's personal life section on this Wikipedia, pleasingly short. That's what you

want to see. Yeah, well, that's how they did their songs, you know, just in out. I like the idea of being Trey Cool because A, got a cool name, B, he once got excited because I had a certain punk band's shirt on, which I wore specifically during an interview to Curry Fever. Oh did you, now you'll need to hear more about this. So you've interviewed Green Day, what were they like? Yeah Billy John's song was a bit, he's a bit floaty, bit of a space man to be honest, but that's how I got him anyway, But it was the same day that I did, it was actually Pepper's guy, Anthony Kiedis. And I was astounded at how he thinks he can get away with having, dying his mustache, but

not doing it every day. So you can clearly see his mustache is entirely grey. Not the worst thing he's done. Not the worst thing he's done. You know, you can, yeah. And you will have to keep that up if you're going out with a literal child. Not a literal child. Did you wear this, what punk band t-shirt was it? I think it might have been Propagandi. Propagandi like a vegetarian. And did you think to yourself, I'm interviewing Green Day today so I'm going to wear this t-shirt and see if they get it. Yeah.

And they got it? Yeah, yeah, yeah and they got it yeah yeah yeah they got it they were like cool cool shirt man and the interview went well and I was like it just that's all it takes sometimes did they say names three songs names three songs three songs I can't remember can't remember the ones the ones on the fat record compilations actually didn't might not even been on fat records might it might be on Kung Fu. Doesn't matter either way. But a little tip, if you are interviewing someone who's in the new Transformers film, consider dressing up like a lorry.

And they'll go, oh, oh, oh. Icebreaker. Yeah. This guy knows what he's talking about. This guy knows what he's talking about. There was once this woman who was interviewing Scarlett Johansson in, you know like those kind of interviews where you get like five minutes with them in a Soho hotel and you're sitting

in these little junket bollocks and you go in and apparently there was this woman who came in to see Scarlett Johansson and Scarlett Johansson had, was reputed, reported to be pregnant and so she'd secreted a load of like nappies around her body and got them out during the interview so that you could have to give to Scarlett Johansson so that they could get the shot of Scarlett Johansson handling some nappies. That's a bit weird. It is a bit weird and and really short-sighted because how those things work is they give you the recordings at the end on a SD card. You ain't getting them out. See, you aren't getting them out.

Just be like, well, don't give them that then. That's... Stop it, it happens. Yeah, revoked, revoked. Are you still doing all your interviews in the style of a medieval hobgoblin? Yeah, like, usually like, words like fossoops and stuff. Yeah, so when um, usually like, um, words like fossoops and stuff, yeah. Yeah, so when you walk into interviews, go out your hands and you go, um,

PRETTY WENCH! Pretty wench! And I'll stink! And I'll stink of old, of old onions. Stink of old bitches. And your teeth have fallen out. Yeah, teeth have fallen out and I've got lupus. Is lupus, lupus, is lupus old school?

Lupus isn't old school, is it? Nah. Smallpox, not a go with the pox, just say the pox Yeah, go with one of the poxers Cowpox, one of the ones they got rid of ages ago Cowpox, have you been milking my steeds? No, that's wrong, don't milk a steed Can you milk a steed?

You've gotta drink horse milk Not sure if you've got a view on that, but they don't I think they should though I think in some parts of the world they do It's a big shout from me, but I think they should though. I think in some parts of the world they do. It's a big shout from me but I think they might do you know. Probably do. I was at a breakfast meeting with your friend of mine Rick Edwards this morning. Has he ever drank horse milk? That's not what reminds me of it. I was just thinking that it was good because my son's been sleeping quite badly recently,

and I felt terrible. And genuinely, the thing that got me out of the house to fulfill the breakfast meeting was that knowing that Rick's also got a kid and a breakfast show, he'd be more tired than me. And so it made me feel better. But after you've done a show, you are like, hi, he's a kite, kind of like you are sort of operating at a level

where you sort of genuinely think to yourself, I don't need I don't need sleep again anymore because I've had about four hours sleep and I feel absolutely fine. Yes, I've had three mustard energy drinks. I think that shit might have sailed for here. Anyway, we did promise. I don't know if we promised the listeners, but we certainly promised each other that we would do an email special today, Peter, because at the time of recording,

we've still got 33 pages here to get through. They're just pining up. That's too many. So I'm going to start, if that's okay with you, and you can take the next one. This one is from our friend Matthew, and the title of the email is Fish and Chip Shops in New Zealand. Now, we talked quite a lot about fish and chips recently in the context of two things. One, how crazily expensive they become, but two, the phenomenon which seems to be located chiefly in Grimsby and Hull, as far as we know, the home fry, where you take your own fish in,

say, here you go, here you go, Governor. Fry that up for us for a quid. Thank you very much. Yeah. Matthew will take the story from here. So he says, Kiora, which is the traditional Maori greeting for hello, as I'm sure you know, that's what the squash is,

the cordial's named after Peter. Delicious, delicious cordial like that. Yeah. Long-term listener, et cetera. I live in a small town called Plymouthon on the Kapiti coast just outside of Wellington in New Zealand. I've lived here for 15 years, but I'm originally from Portchester, a shithole satellite town outside of Portsmouth that Luke will know for its high quota of grandads with quiffs and sovereign rings. So Portchester is one

of the sh... It's kind of become part of Portsmouth now, but it's basically a Portsmouth satellite town. It's not the shit satellite town I grew up in, but you can see it from there. So I very much know where he's playing, where he is. I've played football there many a time. I've had football kick-offs delayed because of broken glass and hypodermic needles on the pitches in Portisdun. So I totally get the vibe. Anyway, says Matthew, taking your fish to the local chippy is actually common over here in New Zealand. So there we go. My son and I

fish a lot on the coast here. Picture attached. He's attached a picture of what can only be described as a lovely handsome strapping son with a gigantic fish. Beautiful. And regularly take Snapper, Gernard and Tarakehi, which is a New Zealand fish, to our local chippy who batter and cook it for two to three dollars, brackets one pound fifty per fillet depending on size. I've had this done in various other chippies in New Zealand. Rationale behind it is you'll load up on chips, battered sausages etc. so they'll happily do it for you. A fillet of fish is usually a shark called rig or a deep sea fish called ribaldo and a chippy over here only costs around five or six

dollars anyway so it's not like they're losing out on much business. As a side note, Kiwis do think their fish and chips is amazing but it isn't. The chips are frozen, the batter is like rubber, and I'd happily pay the occasional UK price for a crispy piece of battered cod and proper hand-cut chips. And a decent curry sauce. Next really does make you proud to be, there's very few things that make me proud to be British, but I think the curry sauce and bits of fish in it from the fryer and some lovely chips just makes me go, go yeah that part we've got absolutely nailed down and nobody can come close to us but it is just chucking something

in some hot oil. What are the other two things that would make up the top three if you're being proud to be British? Ironically Keith Gillespie. Keith Gillespie when he used to just maraud up the wing, switch inside, switch outside, switch inside, switch outside, and just people could not handle it. And it makes you go, you know what? That was invented in the Premier League. That sort of thing. Beautiful. My, my two would probably be the beautiful wilds of Scotland and also people who will

not accept someone cutting into a queue. Yeah, OK, right. Other countries are not queued properly today. No, it's just an absolute mess. I don't know how they get anything done. It is very much survivor of it, it's over there, by which I mean everywhere else other than here. I would like to add in a cardboard policeman in Pound Shops. Yeah. At the door. On the queuing thing it does really if you were standing even you who you're very mild mannered and you don't want to be involved

in confrontation at all but even if you're standing in a queue and you saw someone cut in three or four ahead of you even if you didn't articulate it would emotionally affect you wouldn't it yeah i'd be like oh i don't i don't like this. This is very awkward. This is very awkward indeed. Does it make you angry? I don't like to be... No, it never makes me angry. I never understand why people get so worked up about stuff ever, but it's just, I just don't like it. I just don't like there being an air. Do you know what I mean? I don't like it being like just people just getting

a bit wound up and I'm not really involved but I just don't like being around it all. It just stresses me out and I'm like out. There's loads of things that make you proud to be a Londoner, I'll give you a quick few. Just off the top of my head. Bus drivers who drive a London bus like they have no interest whatsoever

that there are people on the bus. So an old person will get on and they're not even looking in the mirror which is expressly designed for that purpose, to wait for them to sit down before they just pull away as fast as they can. Absolutely. Yeah, yeah. The other one would be probably when someone in front of a Londoner deigns to use a paper ticket on the tube, which takes about half a second

longer than a tap, and so they get really fucking annoyed and start tutting. Yeah. Those extra wide tube gates that for some reason, every five seconds decide to not accept any cards for some reason. It's mental that. They've got red, green. It's like designed to be infuriating. I've no idea why it does that. I've no idea.

No, same. Does this have any earthly purpose? Is it... do you have to approach it with a lot of baggage so that the camera... there's a camera in there that seems to know that you're going through a large... no! It's just for some reason it just goes green, red, green, red. I mean somebody must work for TFL who listen... in the paltry amount of listeners we've got. Surely there must be somebody who works for TFL or who knows why these gates are really, really stupid

and the wider gates for people in chairs or whatever, they just seem to be, they just turn on for five seconds, turn off for five seconds, turn off for five seconds. What about the post office that's on my high street that is one of those like weird franchises ones that has a load of like stationary, a load of like, I don't know, rubber bands and stuff. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

And a fridge with drinks in. But you can only pay cash for that stuff. I bet you can. And and- Don't grot on them. But the post office, but the post office is, you know, everything there is, you know, your usual post office is you know everything there is you know your usual post office facilities and nobody really goes in there to buy anything like you know I don't know rolls of foil or an old cop but but but for some reason

they're cash only and if you want to buy anything there say if you go in and the the envelope isn't operating as you wish you kind of go and pick up an envelope but then you've got to kind of get cash back from the post office Then to go to another counter to pay for it's just Obscene Lee strange. I'm just I'm struggling to see How that how that all sort of pans out or why that works or what it's a front for yeah keep investigating though Yeah, I will I'll go in so I like I saw I saw a guy on the tube the other day I don't take the tube that often anymore because you know I'm a lime lad, but I was on the tube the other day. I don't take the tube that often anymore because as you know I'm a lime lad, but I was on the tube the other day because it was so cold and Someone was standing on the wrong side of the escalator

A guy who was clearly just going to work dressed quite smart look quite normal had his headphones in He just walked up behind the guy who was standing on the wrong side of the escalator I probably made a calculation the guy was here on holiday so maybe he didn't speak English and he just did a massively loud Tony Soprano, oh! Like that. And the guy just like turned around and then moved out of the way. It was good. I don't care where you are from but if you cannot be aware that you might not be doing it. It takes a certain amount of arrogance to sort of not go maybe I'm doing the wrong thing. Like I'm like I can't say I'm just scared

constantly I'm doing the wrong thing. I am scared of my own shadow and so there's no way anywhere in the world I would be caught on the wrong side of the fucking escalator because I'm too sort of like there's probably going to be somebody trying to get past me. Also everyone else is doing this. You don't need to be able to speak English to see the sign. Everyone else is doing this. Turn up. I'll tell you what really gets people flustered is like just the very fact of being in an airport sends people mental. They get really flustered. They don't know what's going on. They don't behave like Russians. Everyone calm down. Get yourself a hule. Get yourself a hule from the machine and let's just chill out shall we?

Sit outside and have a banana. Sit outside, get some potassium in you, buy yourself a little bag, buy yourself a little clutch and then get a banana, keep it in the clutch for a bit and then eat your banana and just calm down and have another go. I have never once knowingly packed a plug adapter in my luggage. I always buy a brand new one every single trip. I have genuinely considered when I've turned up at somewhere that I haven't bought a plug adapter for was something that my mate's dad who was a sparker used to do. He used to strip the wires on whatever he was trying to plug in, get another

plug that did fit it and just sort of mash them in, do you know what I mean? And use it like a kind of like a fork to fork the wires into the outlet and you've got to go that's going to go badly. Or on the other hand if anyone knows that that'll be okay, he probably does. Yeah, exactly. Well yeah, I don't think he was a very good one. I would say that what I like about Japan is that they are sticklers for rules and they're very like me, you know, very sort of repressed weirdos who are scared of their own shadow. But Tokyo, everywhere in Japan I think, Tokyo included, right hand side of the escalator.

Osaka, pretty much the second city, the other side for some reason. It's just confusing. For some reason they've just chosen a different side to everyone else and everyone just has to sort of get on with it. That is weird. It's like Birmingham just sort of going, nah, we're just going to do the other side baby. Or like the Savoy where they've got that little road that you drive on the right hand side of the road. I didn't know that. The one off the Strand?

Yeah, the Savoy is the only road in England that you drive on the right hand side of the road. And it's a public road as well. God damn it. And do you know, on the Norfolk Broads you go on the right of the rivers. Right, okay. Which is very confusing. Which is very confusing. That is very confusing. Anyway, I didn't know that about the stream. That's a great little bit of trivia.

Right, Pete, next email, Pilot Dave. Alright then. Alright, yeah, alright, let me... I said we're doing the special about 20 minutes ago. Get the email from me. Yeah, we'll keep you up on the show. Alright. Sorry to disappoint, says Pilot Dave.

Nothing flying related, I'm afraid afraid but fish and chip related instead. I decided to treat my mum and dad to a chippy tea, haven't had one for years and to compound my shock I'm originally from the north. I now live in Surrey and bought two small fish, three small chips and one gravy. I thought the lady originally said 26 quid which I thought was steep but no she actually said 45 quid. Two small fish, three small chips and one solitary pot of gravy. Now unless that gravy was the size of a bathtub that's insane. I asked for a receipt but tried to hide my shock whilst doing so to confirm I hadn't been done.

Asked you for a receipt in a fish and Chip shop, we know what you're up to. A small cod showing at around 14 pounds, maybe due to low stock levels in the North Sea. Anyway, I love the show and maybe my next contribution will be aviation related pilot Dave. Sounds like he's going to fly his bloody plane into the Fish and Chip shop. Bang! Have a bit of that. I think that makes sense sadly because I mean if he's in Surrey he won't be a million miles away from where I am in South London and like I say if you get in and out of the chip shop for under £50 it's decent. I remember, I remember

like the fish and chip shop was the place you used to go as a kid because you would get a load of stuff for basically next to nothing. Yeah, Joanna's Fish Bar, around the corner from me. Oh, lovely, Harley Poole's finest. Brilliant. I think they started sort of triple cooking the chips or something. They did something different. I think I spoke about it when we were down at Cornwall. I found this fish and chip shop that was using beef dripping. There should be a map of fish and chip shops that use beef dripping because it was like a transcendental fish and chip shops that use beef dripping because it was like a transcendental kind of like, oh my God, they're still using beef dripping. And it just, when you're being at school, you know, when you get, you need to get beef

dripping caught on your throat and you go, and it's caught in your throat. So, yeah, Michael Gladwell on his revisionist history podcast, which I haven't listened to for ages, but I used to really enjoy. He did an episode where he tried to basically find out why McDonald's... Basically, the story is, I think he was driving someone with his kids and they pulled over to go to McDonald's. They hadn't been there for years. And he thought, oh, this will be good. I'll go to McDonald's. Kids will want? So that's good. And he bought the fries and he said he was really disappointed with the fries because he said it bore absolutely no resemblance to what it was like for him as a kid eating McDonald's fries.

So he tried to work out whether that was because his nostalgia had overtaken it or he had just completely misremembered it or if something had changed. He did this deep dive into how one guy in the US who was like a public health guy who took it, who had like a heart attack or something, and they just decided that it was because he ate too many McDonald's fries, McDonald's kind of took up his cause and started to make the fries a lot healthier and stopped using beef tallow, like beef fat. Oh, come on. And changed the recipe entirely and that's why it tasted different to him.

So he was, in his case, glad well, he hadn't been in McDonald's for like 25 years, so he could really tell the difference. So he then went set about trying to make them as they used to be made, and I think the episode kind of culminates with him trying to make them as they were. But he was saying, you just reminded me of it,

because he was saying exactly the same thing about the beef dripping kind of cooking flavor. Oh, this is nothing, it's just nothing like it. It just reminds me of being at, just reminds me of being at school basically. It's just school was, there's a lot of beef beef dripping kicking around. Pete, let's have a break.

I forgot we had another break. It's Luke and Pete Show and if you want to get into the show hello.lukeandpeetshow.com is the way to do it. Luke have you got an email what you want to read out to favour and listen to?PeteShow.com is the way to do it. Luke, have you got an email what you want to read out to favour on to listen to? Yes, I have. The name of this email will become clear as part of the email. So he says, Evening Bossman, I unfortunately have to correspond again. Not for a meek battery dad's daddy submission, however, recently there has been an influx of correspondence from other Ian's.

Oh wow. One. Oh wow. Also using the Ian with the two I's tagline I used, leading to Luke commenting under the preference that there is only one Ian. I need to reiterate to the Luke and Pete family that I am in fact the OG Ian with two I's. The man who failed spectacularly at a Battle of the Daddy sacrifice, I will not stand for this identity theft.

Love from OG Ian with two eyes. So there's a battle fermenting there between two men, at least two men, who spell the name Ian with two eyes. Yeah, I mean, we could just, could we organise a little sort of fist fight on some worst ground? Ian versus Ian. I'd love that.

Losing the town.? I'd love that. Losing this town. I'd absolutely love that. Can I also do this one from Roberto, which I didn't get to last time and I really wanted to do it because it includes pictures and it's a really funny story. The email title is Nugget Power Hour. It says, hello, in a recent episode there was talk of how many McDonald's chicken nuggets have been eaten and other food challenges.

So the context for this is my brother-in-law I think did 50 something and said he stank of chicken McNuggets for like days afterwards. He couldn't get the stink off of him. He says, I present you with one of my proudest moments, the nugget power hour. I've actually got a master's degree as well, but this is where I peaked. The challenge is pretty simple. Now I'm interested in what you think about this Pete, because I think actually this might be one for you and I to do.

I think it could be interesting. The challenge is pretty simple. You must eat a chicken nugget every minute for an hour. Right, so part that for now. I'm just going to give you a little bit more info and then we'll come back to it. Right, okay. It says, now the concept of eating 60 nuggets isn't actually too bad. What kills you is the time in between. The time makes the food sit and it gets really heavy and by nugget

a minute 30, it is absolutely dreadful. Nugget 57 was the worst and almost ended my run. My friend tops out at 40, I made it to 60 and then had to take a five month hiatus from McDonald's afterwards. I wouldn't do it again but it was a good one to pass an afternoon. Attached us to before and after photos. They actually look quite pallid at the end. I mean have you noticed there's a Nalgene flask in the foreground as well. They're an algein men. Good to see Lifestyle, they got Arizona RST as well. So what do you think about that Peter? I think that's I think that perhaps I Think you need the you'd need maximum dip to get that down I would say and is it could you just keep the nuggets warm maybe?

Would that kind of improve things? Would that make it sort of metabolise quicker? I don't know. Do you think you could do it? If you had a rolling air fryer on the go, I reckon, I don't think I'd make 60. 60 seems, 60 seems a big ask. And I'd need some way of,

I'd need some kind of like charcoal pellets to vomit there, because there's no way I'm processing that. And my stomach is just go- You could use Pepto Bismol as a dip, couldn't you? Yes, he's lovely pink. Lovely, oh the lovely aniseed flavour of the, whatever the English version of Pepto Bismol is, that I recently discovered. For the longest time my dog now deceased Buckley had some sort of stomach medicine that I started taking because it's just human medicine. Oh God. You shouldn't have said that.

It had a delicious aniseed flavour and I was like, dogs probably don't have aniseed all that much so. Leftover Charlie's and dog medicine. Ha ha ha ha, yes! So, a slightly related note, I think I would probably struggle with eating a chicken nugget and then having to wait a whole minute for another one, that seems weird. Yeah, yeah. But I would-

Could you sort of, could you do three for two minutes and then just pick up? No, I think you've got to do it on the minute every minute because I'll tell you it's similar to something I used to do quite a lot as a kid which was the hundred shots of beer in a hundred minutes have you done that? Hundred shots of beer in a hundred minutes? That's too many minutes that by the end you're just you're pissed and you're just kind of like confused about what minute is which I presume. So it's about two and a half liters of beer in an hour and 40 minutes and it's quite the ceremony of it and the theatre of it's quite two and a half litres of beer in an hour and 40 minutes. The ceremony of it and the theatre of it is quite fun.

You've got a few mates doing it. I remember... Very spilly, I imagine. Can be. You've got to be quite disciplined. You've got to do the shot of beer, then you've got to pour the next one immediately and then you've got to have an alarm on every minute because otherwise after a few beers you just forget. But I remember when I

played football out in New Zealand, our games were on Saturdays and one Friday me and my two mates I was living with, we did the 100 shots a beer in 100 minutes the day before a game thinking, it's something we've never done it before at that point, and thinking it was only like two and a half litres of beer or whatever, it'd actually be fine. It was not fine. I remember waking up the next morning with my mate who I played in the same team with saying, the manager must not find out about this.

He must not find out about this. Because it's like a totally unnecessary thing to do and I feel fucking terrible now. But I've heard people doing it and then just going out for a night out and it all being fine but it's a drinking version of the Chicken McNuggets. I'd like to give the Chicken McNuggets thing a go. I think it would be probably awful. I think I'd feel terrible. I imagine there's so many chemicals in this ultra processed food that it's probably going

to do quite bad for you. Certainly very salty. And I think if you ever have some Chicken McNuggets and you've left some in the car, for example, and then you go and watch a gig or something and you come back for them after the gig, even just a couple of hours, it literally happened last week, I literally come back after them and you try one

and they're just like, whoa, that is cardboardy. I don't know what happens, it's weird. When it's not heated, it just sort of goes a bit cardboardy. So you've detected an algein bottle in the photos that Roberto included. They've not given any detail on how much you can drink and how much you can't. There's an Arizona iced tea in there as well, as I said. I mean, presumably you can drink as much as you want, but the good thing about the fact that they've had to literally buy so many nuggets is it's about

40 dips on the table they probably just delivered with them. is about 40 dips on the table they probably just delivered with him. Yeah, I mean I hope that house had two toilets after the absolute trough. Very much so. They've got a lovely picture, they've got a lovely kind of sort of like a surgeon diagram of the human body hanging up on one of the photographs which makes me think one of them's in the old fixing up bodies trade. In the old medical trade.

Well, it was the sore bones. Oh yeah, one that might be of the doctor, doctory persuasion. So even worse. I've said that though, Pinch, if I were to go and see a doctor and they said, I am of the doctory persuasion, I'd probably get a new doctor. I'm a bit doctory. I'm a bit doctory. I'm a bit doctory man. You've definitely got, you have actually got the air of someone who is a corrupted, like

kind of not qualified doctor. One of those ones who injects resin into dead bodies and goes, look at my creations. Come and see my creations. There was a case fairly recently of a woman who completely faked a CV and a load of experience and got a job in an urgent care department at a children's hospital and got found out. She got sent to jail for five years for that. If you manage to get through the first couple of months though, I think it's fine to crack on. You're learning on the job?

You're learning on the job. There's no better experience, is there? At what point do you come clean though? Oh sorry, terrible as textbooks. Well, when they find out. How do they find out? You come clean and you go, you know and I know that you need me. So be careful before you decide what you're going to do next. There is a brain drain, there is a healthcare crisis happening in this country. You want another one lopped off here? Do you want another one? And yeah, I beheaded a child, but you know, kids' heads fall off all the time. I've seen things.

Pete, there was a guy at Capital Radio when we were both there on the sales floor who got marched out the building because he got found out to have faked that he had a degree when he didn't and they didn't employ him and didn't have a degree. Which I mean, it was just a sales job. That is insane. He got fired. He got fired. Right. Is that defrauding? I suppose it's fraud, isn't it? Would they ask for your money

back? I mean, that would be a long drawn out stupid process. I don't think they'd ask for their money back, but I think it particularly annoying if like you went for the job and didn't get it or something Yeah, I mean I'm I mean bearing in mind that I never graduated. I've had loads of jobs for it that was required a degree Don't get me touching now though can I? No, not for now. I also I went for a promotion at, I've probably told you this before because it fucking pissed me off I went for a promotion at... I probably told you this before because it fucking pissed me off. I went for a promotion at Capital and I should have got it.

I didn't even get an interview and I was raging about it and I found out years later they fucking lost my application and no one told me. Right, okay. They thought it was easier to tell me that I was unsuccessful. And that is putting themselves before the company in many ways. Yes, this has been The Lookin' Pete Show.
