Summary

Strap in folks, it’s time for some more Wordle chat! You thought we were done with it? No sir, we, well John, has only just got started. But luckily this is X-rated Wordle chat. Sexy content which really spices up the barrel-scraping etymological discussions.

In other happenings, can you explain the Richter scale to a child when at the football? There’s also a week of many wins and losses involving sobriety, aniseed and free coats. Plus, a listener nails this show like no one has before: self-hatred, mouse catching and brand avoidance.

Can you contribute to that powerful triumvirate of topics? Well get it over to [email protected] or 07974 293 022 on WhatsApp.

And remember, for you BBC Sounds consumers, there’s brand new Bureau available on Saturday morning.
