Morning everybody.

Welcome along to your first bank holiday podcast of this year.

I mean, I don't know how many more there's going to be, but it's all very exciting.

Thursday, June 2nd.

Do you know, they've been camping out on the

Mao, and it's not RuPaul's drag race, they've just been camping out on the mall. Some of them

been there for 48 hours now to make sure they've got a good position. Mad as fruitcakes. Mad as

fruitcakes. They're all dressed up. They've got their union flags and they've got everything. And

there was somebody looking like the queen and so she was

being interviewed and the reporters are basically just trying to fill as much television as they

can and it all kicks off today and it's going to be fantastic. The papers of course as you

heard earlier on are full of that dreary bunch of has-beens in Love Island. I mean, literally,

there is sort of almost full-page features on these poor old degenerates who can't even find

partners. They're obviously not trying... You need to come to London, loves. Stand in a bar within

five minutes, you've pulled. It could be home within ten if you play your cards, right?

I mean, it's ridiculous. Honestly, it's ridiculous. One of them goes oh you know I'm hoping to find

somebody my sort of lifelong partner so my parents be pleased with me and you think

you saddo you need to get a bloomin life. Definitely definitely mad. Lauren

Silverman kicks off today you know that she's she's cozing up to her fiancee it's lovely he's sort of waving at the other side of the window. You know that she's, uh, she's cozing up to her fiancé. It's lovely.
