Okay, folks, you are listening to the latest episode, the latest chapter, the latest great adventure, on life on planet Porky, with myself the Portmeister, and of course, Ms. Leslie Ann Jones.

0:35.7

Leslie Ann, how are you this fine day? I'm swinging away here, Michael. It's

0:40.9

a other fine day indeed. You're not swinging from the chandeliers, Miss Jones. You know, it's a family

0:45.7

show. I've got any chandeliers. What do you want about? Oh, right. Okay. Or jumping off

0:51.1

of the wardrobe, whatever it is. Now then, yes, absolutely.

0:55.2

The mind boggles.

1:54.5

but thought we'd take a chance, and just strolled in and said, look, we haven't booked. Have you

1:59.1
