Summary

Let's have another look at what's going on up there on Planet Porky as we join Mike Parry and Lesley-Ann Jones for another podcast.

They seem to be discussing: Porky returning to the pub, the technological challenges of booking ahead for a pint, people drinking themselves ill at home, toiletry habits in difficult public situations, lockdown hair and going grey, Prince Andrew's ego, the Duke of Edinburgh's funeral arrangements, Sarah Ferguson's crassness, working too much while heavily pregnant, Linda McCartney, Mick Jagger's solo career and why it never quite took off for him, David Cameron's distasteful business dealings, whether spelling is important in the modern day, grammar schools, vegan wine, Dame Helen Mirren, and female role models. It's Life on Planet Porky and it's beaming your way once again!

0:00.0	Okay, folks, you are listening to Life on Planet Porky, the latest chapter, the latest
0:27.0	edition, the latest set of adventures with myself, the Portmeister, and of course,
0:33.0	a rock chick, a writer, Extraordinaire, Ms. Leslie Ann Jones. Ms. Jones, how are you this fine day?
0:40.3	Rubbing a long, Mike, you know, it's...
0:42.3	I haven't actually been anywhere, done anything. I've... I know that you've been in the pub, for example. I have not.
0:51.5	So what was it like? It was utterly fantastic. I can't tell you. I do a lot
0:56.0	of walking round here across the North Downs and that sort of thing to keep the old ticker in shape.
1:01.1	And I headed over sort of inland, so to speak, up towards London to a place called Carrsholton.
1:07.6	And there's a pub I've used there over many, many years called The Greyhound. And it's next
1:12.1	to two ponds, which are full of ducks and geese and, you know, peacocks and all that kind of stuff,
1:18.6	you know. And it's a lovely, lovely setting. And I knew that-
1:21.7	Peacocks were in the pond. What was going on there then? They just live there, you know, living the trees there or something like that.
1:34.2	What in the middle? Yeah. Seriously? Yeah, yeah. You know, they just turn up and herons and things like that, you know. I like a heron. I have a soft spot for a heron. Yes, I do. I thought it was a cormorant.
1:40.4	When I first saw it, I took a picture and put it out and said to everybody, look, a cormorant's arrived.
1:44.7	And then I got like a million replies saying you're an idiot, Porky. It's a heron.
1:50.0	How dare they? How dare they call you an idiot? Exactly.
1:54.3	Go to the back. Yes, go to the back. That's right. But anyway, look, the point of my story is that I decided to stroll by this pub and see what was going on.
2:03.3	I know they've got a very big outside area.
2:05.5	They had a very big car park.
2:06.8	And I've closed half the car park off and put up a marquee.
2:09.9	And I thought, wow, isn't that wonderful?
2:11.8	So I sort of queued up, you know, because I thought I wouldn't get in because you have to make appointments all over the place, you know.
