0:00.0	I'm I'm Richard Porter and this is Smith and Sniff a podcast in which two friends talk about cars and many other things.
0:09.0	Normally before this podcast I pour myself a really quite serious coffee
0:18.8	filter coffee yes yes and it's by my right side as we record. Today I've traded this for a new toilet roll and a very
0:30.1	thick gloopy lem sip possibly stage three I was going to say I'm going to say this is
0:37.2	stage three lem sip because it says max everything right so that's got to be stage three, hasn't it? And yes, I would say so. I don't know if you simply has to be.
0:50.0	Before taking the stage three lamps, if you had to take measures to strengthen your head.

1:49.7	rest of it wasn't in the station so they couldn't open the doors to let people on it off.
1:55.1	And he sat there and a very hassled man went steaming up and down the, you know, the carriage who worked for the train company,
2:06.1	and someone further down went, what's going on? And he went, I'm looking for the train manager,
2:10.5	and this bloke went, what's that it's this guy went it's the person who's in
