| 0:00.0 | Hello Judith. Well, I know, we're lucky to be talking to each other, aren't we? We're lucky. |
| 0:06.6 | Are we? Are we? Yes, I'm just, yes, we are, in many senses the word, the fact that we are here alive on this day and have been, and have managed to connect with only one difficulty today. Wasn't too bad at all, was it? And I was expecting worse. There was one hurdle, one hurdle that I had to leap over. But Daisy held my hand and it was all right. We got there. Now, I've had a holiday, Judith, which is unlikely. You've had a holiday. I know you have. Tell us all. Well, there's not much to tell because it's only two nights. On the way there, I don't know what we did. I'm just going to, I can't blame Jeff entirely, which is difficult, as you know. It's difficult not to be able to blame them entirely. But we plugged in the address of where we were going. By the way, I will feel that. You plugged it in? You plugged it in? Yeah, well, you know what I mean. That's such a boomer way of putting it, is there? We plumbed it in. Have you plugged it in? Have you plugged it in? I'm going to tell the listeners, the hotel we stayed in. I'm not giving it away on Instagram or any social medias because any Johnny come lately can look at those but Jeff and I had |
| 1:14.9 | booked the Montague Arms which was our second trip and it's in a village called Buley in the |
| 1:20.5 | new forest. Okay you can look it up for yourselves you can decide whether it's right for you. |
| 1:24.9 | I cannot guide you because what people want from hotels is very different. I was going to say I think this is a very bold thing to do. I mean, you know, recommending holidays and hotels, particularly hotels, is very, very different. I'm not recommending. I'm just saying we had a fucking great time. Okay. But you're giving privileged access, I see. I am giving privilege, but only to the hours. |
| 1:45.7 | Get you. |
| 1:46.7 | People who... |
| 1:47.3 | Big of you? |
| 1:47.7 | Charts. |
| 1:48.7 | I get big of you. |
| 1:50.7 | Well, yeah, I know, I know. |
| 1:52.6 | And we paid entirely for the holidays. |
| 1:55.2 | There's no, you know... |
| 1:56.7 | There's no transaction. |
| 1:57.5 | It's not transactional. |
| 1:58.5 | No, there's nothing. |
| 1:59.3 | There's no influencer gut going on here. I'm not freshly back from Dubai and struggling. It is a country, it's like a coaching in really with a pub attached, which is where kids can eat. And it's got a pretty garden. And we were in the garden suites with big rooms big bathrooms anyway on |
| 2:18.1 | the way we've plumbed in the address of where we're going back to why you would have blamed |
| 2:22.2 | jeff for yeah well it took us three hours to get from south london to fleet services |
| 2:27.9 | well and how uh oh yeah it's about 40 miles away or something ridiculous i don't know i don't know |
| 2:34.0 | but i just couldn't believe we were only there and the car had started to have what I would call palpitations, like little arrhythmia of the heart. It was just sort of missing. That's what Jeff said. He said it's missing. It's missing. So, yeah, I do. I understand. I do. Yeah, it's missing. I've got it's missing so yeah I yeah I get I don't I do I do |
