Hello and welcome to Not Another One,

0:13.7

and welcome to our weekend edition, which we, I mean, I speak only for myself

0:18.6

because I would never dare to speak for these chaps.

0:21.2

I'm literally recording in my pyjamas, dear listeners.

0:25.0

But I'm joined by Ian Martin and Tim Montgomery.

1:59.1
