Morning boys.

Morning.

So, here is a thing, here is a thing.

If you all listen into this on Absolute Radio rather than on the podcast or on one of our

decade channels, I just played a song by Big Thief to open called Humans and I'd never

heard of Big Thief before this week and I went, I had to go to the opticians this week

and the receptionist was wearing a Big Thief t-shirt and I said, what is that?

What does that mean?

It's a really nice t-shirt and she said, oh it's a batten, they're really good and so I checked

them out and here we are, they're on the radio on my radio show.

It's a life of a god of war, don't you think?

You bet me on that.

Do you all opticians have a giant pair of plastic spectacles in the window?

Sadly, no.

But I'll tell you something that happened and I had to have the full eye test thing because

I've moved to a new opticians and I know it's a big moment and the story is it happened.

And I hate an eye test, so much built in failure, did anyone ever pass and read every tiny

line and say, you know, there's failure, you have to want, that's to look better than

the other, those dots, there's always one that's a bit glaring.
