| 0:03.0 | It's time now for the chipping forecast, issued by Folding Pocket on behalf of Andrew Cotter, Eddie Pepperall and special guest Ian Carter. |
| 0:32.9 | Hello there again and welcome to the chipping forecast, the forecast of the sheeping. |
| 0:34.2 | A little bit later than ideally we like, but again it's due to the travel of two of our tramvirate, the Globe Trotters. Eddie Pet is back on tour this week and has flown out to Kenya. Eddie, Eddie looks like he's in some sort of, well, I mean, it does look post-colonial bedroom. Lots of rich mahogany there. You have many leatherbound books. |
| 0:55.8 | I fit right in, yeah. |
| 0:57.4 | No, it's fine. |
| 0:59.6 | Okay, good. |
| 1:00.5 | Eddie's review on TripAdvisor. |
| 1:02.3 | It's fine. |
| 1:03.4 | Is that your review for Budapest, Ian, our special guest back from Budapest. |
| 1:07.2 | How was Budapest for you? |

| 1:51.0 | Is it one of those continental baths where clothes are not recommended and you bounded in? |
| 1:57.9 | Well, you wear, you wear swimwear. Oh, right, okay, that's perfectly acceptable then. Yes, no, I enjoyed it. I enjoyed Budapest until the COVID struck.

And I mean, you must have had a great time that until you got COVID. It's impossible not to have a good time there, I think. |
| 2:22.9 | It is possible not to have a good time. If you are as miserable and grumpy as I am, apparently, it's not, no, it's as beautiful. It is everything you describe. It's an amazing city, both Buddha and pest. |
