Good evening and welcome to the Pompey Politics Podcast. I'm Ian Tini Morris. And I'm Simon Sandsbury.

Good evening and, well, we are focusing all our attention this week, much closer to right down into the centre of

Portsmouth and a guest we've been looking to get on the show for some time. Simon, who is

our guest this evening? So our esteemed guest this evening is Councillor Clare Oudy of Charles

Dickens. Welcome, Clare. Hello, hello, how are you?

Do you want me to tell you the story about how you finally got me on the podcast?

Feel free?

Well, we, we absolutely, because let's be honest, we've tried luring you in without success thus far.

So how did we, how did, what finally tipped the balance?

I was completely smashed at Butlins at an indie music weekend.

Excellent.

And Simon had emailed all counsellors about hustings on the podcast and then I mean being really drunk.

Messaged on Facebook. And I'm here. So what a story is you should always ask me to do something for you when I'm drunk and I'll probably say yes.

That's a that's a t-shirt worth wearing.

That's a hot.

That's a bold way to work.

After I work up with the worst hangover in Boggna,

I can't tell you how awful it was,

walking through Boggatow Center feeling like I was going to die the whole way to the train station.

But yeah, sure.

Yeah, who were the headliners?

Who made the impression musically?
