Good morning. Calimera, I should say. Calimera, pedia. Di Cani-Semera. A little bit of Greek,

0:06.5

which perhaps gives you an indication of the direction in which the conversation may go

0:09.9

early doors this morning. I said, how many times does anyone keep count of this? Do you keep

0:16.8

count of this? Do you keep count of this? How many times do we actually dance around the same

0:20.0

question on the program at the moment, which is, what are they doing? Why have they done this thing?

0:25.9

Whether it's Suella Bavarman saying, let's confiscate tents from homeless people, or, I mean, you can,

0:32.3

where do you even begin with the list? But Rishi Sunak saying, we've got a nice meeting coming up with the Greek Prime Minister. Greek Prime Minister says those marbles that, for over 100 years, we've been calling for the return of. It'd be nice to get them returned. Oh, right, I'm canceling the meeting. He's like the kid, isn't he? He just is the kid who'd take his ball home if you didn't let him be sent a forward every day. that's it isn isn't it? We finally got there. It's not Will out of the in-betweeners, the briefcase boy. It's not trying to pin down exactly who Rishy Sinock is. He is the boy that would take his ball home if you didn't let him be sent to forward every single day. Oh, come on, mate, it's your turn to go in gold. Right, I'm taking my ball home.

1:28.9

You can, with his trousers, six inches too short or whatever. That's deliberate, by the way. I mean, say what you like about Rishishish's unit. He can afford a decent tailor. But he's the, he is the kid who takes his ball. He's the kid who takes his ball home. I can't do that.

1:33.2

It wouldn't be fair because it was 43 years ago.

1:47.1

But I have the name in my head right now of the boy that did precisely that, and worse, when we were at school. In fact, I'm seeing some lads tonight who I haven't seen since 1986. I've got a gig in Manchester tonight and some of the

1:51.8

some of the lads who've reunited on Facebook are coming along to see it. So I wonder if they

1:57.9

will remember the name. He ended up in the, can I say, is this fair? He ended up in the school team because his dad bought a minibus for the school. His dad bought a minibus. And the reason I still remember that is because I was the one for a while who got bumped out of the team and replaced with someone who was obviously... wasn't great I was obviously you know the 11th pick in the in the school in the first

2:20.5

11 or the second 11 it may have been I don't think it was even the first 11th pick

2:25.7

this lad's dad bought a minibus and he ended up nicking my place and he would genuinely

2:32.4

if he wasn't allowed to be sent to forward, he would take

2:34.8

his ball home in break. Five minutes after ten, that's who he... Good Lord, I don't love it when

2:41.6

that happens. When something just slots into place, what do we call it? It's a penny drop. He's,

2:47.2

he's the kid who'd take his ball home if you didn't let him be sent to forward. At least that's answer number one to the question that we will dedicate ourselves today.

2:54.7

So is anybody keeping count of the amount of times at the moment, we find ourselves looking at a member of government doing something we consider to be at the very least odd and at the very most utterly utterly inexplicable

3:10.1

and i come on air and i use lots of long words and i dance around like a peacock for 15 to 20

3:17.1
