Summary

For many of us the pub is a place where friendships are created and strengthened, with the humble pint serving as the perfect canvas for a conversation about all manner of topics. But what if those conversations lead to something a bit more, and a kiss ends up being on the cards? Well, in the past one thing might have led to another and you might end up with a snog... but when was the last time anyone snogged?! It's a travesty, and this week's guest on a campaign to 'Bring Back Snogging'. It's stand-up comedian and writer Alexandra Haddow!

Alexandra (@alexandrahaddow) is one of the hottest prospects in UK comedy, has toured up and down the country, and hosts Dulwich Hamlet Comedy every month as well as Alex vs. Men at Vauxhall Comedy Club every Monday. She's also been running her own indie music night since 2008 (check out @indie.amnesty). But like a select few guests we've had at The Moon Under Water she's also spent many a moon working behind bars, and knows what it's like dealing with the inner workings of the pub. We cannot wait to hear what her dream pub will look like!

0:00.0	See there the shadows cast by hilltop roof and spire,
0:15.0	lengthening in the waning day, traversed by the stooping figure, bent towards the glow blazing from the moon underwater. Thank you. I'm sorry. I'm Oh, Robin. Have you seen what the correct realm has been doing this evening?
1:05.0	No. I mean, what the swirling stuff.
1:07.8	Yeah, because it's obviously in a playful mood.
1:10.9	You know those, I think it's quite an American thing,
1:13.9	but those, like, those things that are outside sort of car dealerships,
1:18.4	the wobbly men.
1:19.8	Oh, the wobbly men, yeah.
1:21.0	It's like there's a sunset, but it's sort of shaped like those,
1:25.0	but in a very, in quite a beautiful way, it's actually quite moving.
1:28.6	Yeah, it's a bit like, it's got that Edvard Monk quality. I suppose the scream was a kind of
1:33.7	a wobbly man. It was almost as if the scream were advertising, you know, naught percent finance
1:39.1	over a, you know, 36-month car lease. I'm surprised no one's done that, a big wobbly man of the scream.
1:45.9	Well, he probably couldn't get the bloody copyright these days, could you?
1:48.4	No, I suppose you're right, actually. Or someone'd be throwing soup at it.
1:51.4	Yes. But actually, I think the copyright's probably expired on the scream, hasn't it?
1:59.7	I read somewhere that he's not screaming.
2:01.7	He's covering his ears to protect his ears from screams,
2:04.6	but that sounds like rubbish.
2:06.3	Well, it's like the front cover of the Frank Zapparald and Chunga's revenge.
2:09.8	He's actually yawning.
2:11.3	Oh, yeah.
