Greetings listener dear, it's Matthew here from Pappies, formerly Pappies Fun Club, now Pappies.

It's been that way for a little while, I think we changed our name in 2009 so welcome to the

podcast this is this is house meeting it's a house meeting recorded a little while

ago now what's going on at the moment and the reason you're only

hearing my voice is that Tom and Ben are off on their summer jaunts their summer

constitutionals.

Clarky is all the way over in Australia.

He's enjoying Australia with his, in fact he's out on a holiday with his in-laws for a month so yeah

pray for Clarky it's that you know his in-laws I've met them all

they're a wonderful bunch but I think you know like they say you can't

choose your family you can choose your friends but you really can't choose your

in-laws.

Like, that's just the way it goes, isn't it?

You just, you suddenly find yourself in a situation where you've got this whole other family,

who are also your family.

And I think I'd find it hard enough going the holiday with my own family for a month

let alone somebody else's parents so yeah good luck to Clarky who's's out in Australia for the rest of the month.

We've recorded a bunch of house meetings.

This is one of them.

Parry is also off with his family.

He's just been to the fringe for a week getting the shows that he's working on up and running.

I'll mention them now because I'm sure he'd be appreciative of that. He's looking after Flo and Joan. He helped to direct that show, or he directed that show I should say,
