Hello there, welcome to a brand new R-Splug R-Scast right here on R-Splug.com. How are you?

I hope you're well. We've had midweek Champions League action. The Champions League kicked off this week. We're preparing for more Premier League action this weekend. It has been results wise. All right, it's been grand, hasn't it?

Fairness. Performance is different thing. We might touch on those between now and the end of the podcast and what else? I don't know. We're here. If you hear any weird noises, I apologize. It's just that my neighbors up the road have decided that now is a good time to take the front of our house, got the insides. They've got like a kanga hammer, like going all the way. They've brought a digger through the back of the house, which is amazing because it's like a sort of a terrorist house. They've got no side entrance. Somehow they're managed to

get like a little teeny tiny digger. They're doing all that kind of stuff. I had to be honest, I'm a bit pissed off. It's a bit inconvenient for me. Why can't they just accept this house the way it was when they bought it and not seek to improve it or their living conditions? I think it's quite selfish. They didn't consult with me at all. They didn't say, hey, Andrew, would it be okay with you if we made noise during times when you might possibly be recording? We don't even know if you record or not.

But I think that's the kind of thing you should take into account before you start these kind of renovations. So look, if there are noises and bangings and things going on in the background, it's beyond my control, as the man used to say.

The other thing is that I had something really interesting and I'm using probably mind blowing would have improved your life in a very significant way.

And I thought about I said, I'll tell them, I'll tell them this at the start of the podcast because it could be an interesting way to open the podcast.

And then I had to go out of the house with a large furry beast, a German shepherd who required outdoor activity.

There were trees to be sniffed and urinated upon.

And he had to do his normal trick of, I don't know if your dog does this, but my dog does exactly this.

You know the way when you take them out for a walk, they're sniffing and they're going, I must find the exact right place to go for a plop.

Like they have to find the optimum place.

No, this one, no, not quite.

No, this one isn't quite the right place, but anyway, every single time, well, I want to every single time, but like 95% of the time, he does it right outside somebody's gate.

It's not to the side, it's not down the road.

It's not between two people's houses or the right in front of the gate.

And you know, most of the time that's absolutely fine.

You know, you got your plastic bag, you pick it up and you go on your way.

I don't know why I'm telling you this.

Oh, yeah, anyway, the where he plops is not really the story.

The story is that he had to go out and do that and I had to bring him and I did that and then I came home and now I can't remember what it was.

That was going to talk to you about the thing, the important, funny, amusing, mind blowing thing that would have been, you know, great for all of us to share this information, this story, whatever it might be.
