You'll find it at your podcast app. You'll find it on YouTube as well. Two weeks to Christmas, Michael Normanson, this time in two weeks. What are you going to be doing?

Well.

A sleep in front of the turkey?

I'm going to be ruining the fact that I didn't get my 15% off lasting powers of attorney, wills and conveyancing. Because the offer is on until Christmas Eve, the 24th, isn't it, this one? Exactly, yeah. What, an increased 15% discount,

wills, conveyance in lasting powers of attorney,

that's off your legal fees,

10% discount on your legal fees on everything else,

such as Chris Love's licensing. Chris Love, he's always talking about it, isn't he? I mean, there's forms of negligence that you can... Professional, deal with, medical, amateur. Is that one of them? Semi-pro. Yeah, 10% of that stuff.

Yeah, good, good, good.

Full details in terms are on the website. Levi'slisters.com.com. U.K. forward slash the square ball. Yeah, a reminder that increased 10 years of sponsoring us discount. That's why they've done it. They've bumped it up by an extra 5% to celebrate 10 years of advertising with us. And actually there's a mug you can find as well, which is knocking around on our website.

The big two, if you want to commemorate your favorite podcast and your favorite solicitors with that money going to charity via that mug. Yeah, Dan, Michael and Chris Mack, just rounding things up for the week. And the big news from the week is the FA Cup draw against Derby County away. Are we getting used to us again? I thought we'd escaped all this. I distinctly remember wanting Derby to go down last year to put extra space between us and John Eustick. If we don't go up, we'll have to play him again next year, or if they don't go down. So as a safety measure, I wanted that full division of buffer, and now we're playing him anyway. I did have a look at the FA Cup draw, because usually the third round, there's like a little bit of romance on it, but it is an absolutely loveless set of fixtures. Right. There's nothing in it that they make to go, ooh, that'll be fun. Do you know what? I haven't seen any of it apart from our fixture. Yeah. That's quite remiss of me, isn't it?

There's some games in there that you can think, oh, that might be a fun-ish trip. Like Barnesley going to Liverpool, for example. They might now fancy that a bit. Liverpool lost to Plymouth last year, didn't they? So it were terrible. It's more that the small-ish, the smallest clubs didn't really get anyone fun, didn't it?

I mean, D Derby did. Sorry, I've done it now. Well, that's in four weeks anyway. Should it? Have you ever seen a John Eustace? Should it? Have you ever seen a John Eustace game? Well, I mean, in the sense that we should get the full 15% allocation, which would take somewhere between 4,000 and 5,000 tickets, depending on segregation and whether the police stick the beaks in and all that.

We've previously had reduced allocations at Derby for persistent standing.

Right, for being naughty boys.

But I think everyone seems to have decided that's fine now.

Yeah.

Why don't be Neil instead?

Right.

Good option. Oh, what we're proposing, is it? Good option. Yeah. Why don't be kneel instead? Right. Good option.

Oh, what we're proposing, is it?

Good option. Yeah, it's... It falls squarely into that. This is a bit of an inconvenience draw, isn't it? You can't think, oh, well, well, it's a little team at home. We should just go past that. That we should, you know, we'll never get there. we'll worry about the fourth round after that,
