Morning everybody, welcome along to your free podcast for today, and it's Friday, and it's

0:10.9

the 10th of July, and the weather's going to be nice. Actually, when I said the weather's going to be

0:15.3

nice, I omitted mentioning it on the programme properly, because I knew it was just going to feel

0:19.9

very warm this afternoon,

0:21.2

highs of 27 degrees, which is pushing it a little bit as far as I'm concerned. So feeling very

0:26.7

warm this afternoon, just when I'm sort of about to disappear off home, I should have brought

0:31.5

a hat. I don't know why I didn't bring a hat, but I should have done. Tonight, the cloud will

0:35.1

thicken and some patchy rain spreading eastwards.

0:39.3

I don't mind about that, actually. I've got a truly lazy weekend, because all I've got to do is come in here on Sunday.

0:46.0

I don't think I'll bother getting the car wash this weekend. Or perhaps I should, oh, I don't know?

0:49.5

You know, you always have sort of second thoughts about it, don't you think, do I want the car looking nice and clean? Yeah, should I hoover the inside of it? No, because I just take the rugs out and shake them out.

0:57.0

Yes, it's got rugs. Don't ask me why it's got rugs. They're quite nice, actually. I quite like rugs.

1:02.3

And so I've got that, and then I might, yeah, Broadmoor and did the Peaches Geldorf documentaries as well.

1:16.1

And he normally brings me up to date with what he's working on at this precise moment.

1:20.8

So I can sort of find it, it'll generally be something.

1:22.9

If it's a celebrity, you can guarantee I'll hate it.

1:25.3

I'm like that. You know, if he sort of said to me,

1:27.5

I'm going to do something on Lydia Dim, you'd be thinking, oh, please don't. Please don't. Anyway,

1:32.3

she goes to the ITV summer party and she has to drag along that, uh, that useless lump, uh,

1:37.8

that is poor Arge. They both look a bit remedial together. I think it kind of suits them actually. It's obviously good. Again, she's wearing a bizarre outfit. I don't know where she gets this stuff from. Her hair, she's a bit too coiffured, actually. It looks like it takes her too long to get ready. But he's obviously reasonably happy. He's obviously perhaps got his wallet hidden somewhere. And she's got an oversized bag, which I'm assuming has another outfit outfit in or at least perhaps another wig to stick on her head.

2:01.9
