Three minutes after ten, we will begin with an apology. I'm told that the correct verb is huff.

You huff. I think someone told me this before. You huff noz. Is it pronounced noz or nos? Noz? Noss? You huff it. You certainly don't chug it. I said chug because it's a vernacular for, you know, necking a pint. You chug a pint. You huff nitrous oxide, I'm told.

And we may turn our attention to that story later in the program,

but the PMQs is back. You chug a pint. You huff nitrous oxide, I'm told.

And we may turn our attention to that story later in the program.

But the PMQ's is back today.

Let Joy be unconfined.

Unbelievable.

What a hole it has left in our lives.

But that will cover that.

And then I've got Rory Stewart dropping by to talk about his new autobiography

and I've got the inimitable Mick Heron author of well many many superb novels but perhaps most

notably the the Slough House series of course recently televised starring Gary Oldman he's got a brilliant

new one out he's dropping by to tell's a little about that and other things.

So it's quite an interesting show, first time for everything, I hear you say. I give you a

heads up on what I might do at 11 because I'm going to need your help. I don't ring in about it yet,

but I don't think I'm naive. I can't really play that anymore. I think

naivety becomes unforgivable once you reach a certain age. It's like youthful idealism.

You can't really use youthful idealism as a defense as you reach your 50s. I'm not sure you

should really be doing it as you reach your 30s. But you know that kind of notion that, oh, you know, I just like to see the best in people.

I think this is ignorance on my part, not naivety.

So I look that one square in the eye.
