Hello there, welcome to another arsecast extra as always with James from Gunner Blood. Good morning to you. Good morning to you. How's it all going?

It's going fine. Yeah, not too bad. We've got a sunny weekend London. Yeah, we're having some not rain here too. It's great.

Amazing. You brought it back from Barcelona. Yeah, we got a bit of a barbecue yesterday evening. That was good. Was warm.

That is good, isn't it? It's rarely a barbecue. Doesn't improve things. That's very true. That's very true. Just a burger and some chicken, but it was nice to sit in the back garden and eat things and drink some nice cold wine.

That's what it's for. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. How's your new place? New place is fine. Yeah. It's very quiet at the moment. My flatmate's gone away and he said he'd be back last night, but he's not.

So are you are you worried that he might have fallen victim to some kind of serial killer? Well, he went to Liverpool, so I'd say the chances of that are quite high. Yes.

But I am a little concerned, but I'm also enjoying the solitude. So swings around about. Yes. Yes. There is a lot to be said for having time to contemplate one's own existence.

I'll just level with you by the way. Yeah. Don't really know what the phrase swings and roundabouts means. Well, do you? Yeah.

Is there something I throw into conversation, but I've got no idea how to explain what it means to anyone. Isn't it the case that it swings and roundabouts? It's sort of like, you know, you've got to accept some good with some bad and that kind of thing.

I don't know which is the good thing or the bad thing though. Swings. Yeah, that's it. I mean, I don't know which I prefer. Yeah. I'm probably more around about man because I had an accident on a swing as a child. Right.

Wait, I sort of went up and over the top, you know. Yeah. That's yeah, that could color one's opinion of swings. I mean, I am quite accident prone. People listen to the podcast. We'll pick that up over the years. Yes.

Swings and roundabouts. I'm just looking it up here to see what it means. Something you say to describe a situation in which there are as many advantages as there are problems.

Okay. So I did sort of use it correctly. Yeah. Is apples and oranges the same? Well, no, they're not the same because they're very different. Right. They're very not quite different indeed. Okay. Okay.

Just swinging around the map. Yeah. Well, of course. Of course. What's your preference apples or oranges? Apples make really? Yeah. Do you know? No oranges all the way. Have you seen them start making orange cider? What? Yeah. Sure. It's very definition. You know, that that couldn't work. Orange cider. Really? Yeah. First they started with the pairs. Then they moved on to berries.

Summer fruits. Exactly. Limes got involved. Finally, they've landed on orange. Damn. Damn what took them so long. Damn you copperberg. That's what I'm saying. Yeah. I presume it's them the crazy ones. You wouldn't have any of that nonsense down here. It'll be an island. Copperberg or record illegal. Some other unspellable brand. Yeah. People. Why can't you just stick with the apples? I don't know. Do it. You know. So I like an apple. You're not as keen. No, definitely.

No, definitely not. You know, I just find them to too much work. You know more than an orange. You got appeal in orange. Yeah. I know. But you could I like things with my hands. I'm tactile like that. You see. I don't want to show off with your two functioning hands. Yeah. Speaking of which? How did you get the cast off yet? That's tomorrow tomorrow cast gate. Although I have a regular blog this morning, which you speculators some you know, lead.

You know, length about whether I'm right. We've paired to injure myself. So we've got something to talk about on this show. Yeah. Now I'm nothing if not a team player. Okay. So I brought a number of implements with me.

And if it comes to it, we've got that in the locker. Right. Well, look, I have to say that I'm impressed. I mean, I've got a big knife. Right. I got a spoon. Don't know what I would do with that.

Could gouge out one of your eyes with a spoon. Potentially a cheese grater. Certainly that could be that could be used.

And then I've got just a set of keys. So again, that's for sort of minus stabbing injuries. Right. Well, look at you know, your commitment to to the art form is is on parallel.
