| 0:00.0 | Play the funky music. Oh dude, just ruined that song for ever now, haven't you? And I think what you've managed to do with that, dude, if this has ruined our theme tunes. It's why you've done the doubler. Jesus God, I don't know whether I can continue. That was so... I was quite cheerful and you just burst my bubble. I've just popped it. I've burst you. Great big chewing gum bubble and it's gone all |
| 0:22.4 | over your face. I'm very sorry. Well, shall we just... |
| 0:27.2 | Shall we be very, very predictable? Talk about the weather. Shall we? It's quite hard not to there, |
| 0:35.4 | is. I mean, it is hot. But yesterday, there was a breeze and it was delicious yesterday. Did you have a delicious day yesterday? It was, wow, I'd say it's more breezy today. It's actually very pleasant here, but it's 10 o'clock in the morning and it is getting hotter. Yes, but it's going to cloud over. I find that combination the most difficult, muggy and cloudy. Apparently in London, you might not mugging cloudy or I don't want mugging cloudy, well, no, I'd swap it. I've always put, but look, we shouldn't complain. It's gorgeous to see the sun, isn't it? It's gorgeous to see the sun, but I can't go out in it. I can't go out. Well, I agree. This is what I've realised. I've absolutely, it took me ages. I've realised. I've been indoors. And that's not like you, Judith, because you are much more hardy and you're much more sun-loving than I am because you have a better skin |
| 1:27.9 | tone a faked hand up by the way before the bank holiday weekend I got myself I've did it really |
| 1:34.3 | badly obviously you know half a foot bright orange the other half deathly white um but I faked |
| 1:40.2 | hand up the season has started I shall now be arms let arms neck face the whole |
| 1:46.0 | part from the bits I can't reach the back because I'm too fat and then you know it's a |
| 1:50.4 | it ends very abruptly around the fat back yeah but you can't see that that's all right I |
| 1:55.8 | can't see that I couldn't give a shit no you know what I mean um so that, it's not a good time for my local swimming pool to have fallen, the balcony to have fallen into the swimming pool. That's a bugger, isn't it? It's going to be close for a while, Jenny. Oh, don't you know what? I didn't want to hear that, Judith. You've done two things to upset me already. You've ruined our theme tune. You've told me like that. I went on, I've been, I go up the, I go up the elephant. |
| 2:18.7 | It only takes me 20 minutes on, 25 minutes on the bus. It is a bit irritating. But at least |
| 2:23.5 | you've got somewhere to go. I've got three other places I can go. Okay, good. Well, |
| 2:29.5 | stop learning about it then. Yeah. But I want to go to my one. |
| 2:34.7 | Like me saying, you know your lake, it's got some, it's got a sewage downpipe. |
| 2:41.0 | I'm really sorry, Judith, but your special lake that you love and you go to every morning and it saves your life. |
| 2:48.1 | Oh, they've been pumping shit into it. |
| 2:50.4 | What an absolute shame. Never mind, there are three other lakes. It's just a bit more inconvenient. Yeah, I get it. I do get it. I mean, there was a time when I watched, obviously, dirty business on Channel 4 and all the rivers around here have affected really badly by sewage from Thames water when I thought right bloody hell well |
| 3:09.7 | that's it then I'm going to have to cross the lake off oh there was a lot of lot of eam a lot of |
| 3:14.4 | WhatsApp messages on the on the group there was a bet some of your women were down there with jam jars |
| 3:19.6 | sampling the water sending them off for analysis There's been a lot of that. |
| 3:24.6 | But I think we're okay, lucky. |
| 3:25.9 | I mean, it has, oh, I mean, gosh, I mean, it's so lucky. You did once get really ill from swimming. You did once get really ill from wild swimming. You did. Yes, you did.
