have you pressed the button oh oh yeah yes i I have. Yes, I have pressed the button.

But our early start this evening, this evening, you see, I'm already tongue-tied. Our early start this morning is taking it out of me. When I got home, I went to bed until about 12 o'clock. And then I've done, recorded a couple of podcasts, including. You're lazy little bugger. I know, including a Euro eurovision nulpoise podcast which i know you'll be listening to well i'm in comfort aren't i for eurovision this

year yeah i finally enjoyed it i'll believe that when next year's comes around do you think i'm a

jacky come lately when it comes to your revision?

If this was a Wednesday podcast, I'd have a response to that.

But it isn't.

It's a Friday podcast, which people probably won't get until maybe Saturday or possibly even Sunday,

because Kat's off this week.

So the lovely Clive is editing, and he's just informed me he's out Friday evening,

carousing, no doubt. So we'll see when it comes. Are you, you're striking up a match again.

I am, I'm lighting a candle. I think, when I sit in my, my, my, my, I think it's Jackie,

the return of Jackie Spliff. I'm going to get, yeah, I'm going to get more and more incoherial, perhaps more coherent. You're right.

I've just, I've just lit up an enormous big doobie that I'm not going to smoke during the course of recording this podcast.

No, I'm not everybody. No. I've just got a new job. I can't be fired before I've even started. Well, indeed. I think that should we start off by talking about your new job? Did we talk about this last week? I don't think we did, did we? No, there was a question, but I couldn't say anything about it because it hadn't been announced. Hit Simon and Ilford had got the lowdown and I said to Jackie Should we talk about?

She said, well, I couldn't say anything about it because it hadn't been announced. Simon and Ilford had got the lowdown and I said to Jackie, should we talk about it?

She said, I can't.

But anyway, so what is the new, you're defecting from the West Midlands, aren't you?

Well, I'm not defecting.

I'm being, my contract has come to an end and I'm on a free transfer.

Because of good governance rules, there's a limit to how long you can serve as the chair of

a NHS board.
