Pod, pod, pod, pod. Rugby pod.

Ruppie pod. Hello everyone, happy new year. It's 2024 and we're back with appeal back with

a partner in crime.

And true, happy new year.

Happy new year, James, you sound very serious there.

Have you not had a good new year?

I've had a good new year.

I mean, it's certainly a few days in, but you know what I mean?

As in the whole process of new year and Christmas

and got a little holiday away just to start the new year I wanted to see the son Andrew I'm in

Scotland yeah it's three or four months until we see that big round orange-y ready thing again

But I am ready. I'm ready to hit the new year. I don't have New Year's resolutions

because I do it every year for the last 40 years and none of them ever happened so I basically come the end of the year I'm a

liar. Yeah do they last for about a week or something and then you just crack on with normal life?

The funny thing is is every time I go on holiday right I'll go into the book shop I'll have a look at all the different aisles if you call them that or whatever they're called all the different sections fiction non-fiction

autographies and I'll pick a book. Do you think it gets read?

On holiday, yes, that's my main reading time on holiday. I get through two or three books on holiday,

but at home, absolutely zero because I just flick my phone out on the toilet

instead of reading something but well that's the New Year's resolution yes I

did buy a book yeah it's on the shelf at the back it's Billy Connolly something to do

with him rambling or what actually read a few pages on the plane.

I just can't concentrate. You know when it's all the different noise and stuff like that I need
