So, lovely listeners, my darling deaflings, you know, I'm an old fuck now. We all know that. And

anyway, the thing is, my darlings, I've decided I have to say goodbye to this fantastic

podcast. And the reason is, listen, you know, I've loved this job so much.

But I said to Big God, Ollie, when he first asked me to do the gig, look, you'll probably

get about 20 episodes out of me.

And I've ended up doing over 100.

Now, there is proof that I have really fucking enjoyed myself.

I've loved meeting all the guests.

I've loved having my friends

in real life on the show. The live show was just fantastic, a great night we all had with the

marvellous Tom Davis. But I've been doing it for two years. I'm a gypsy, darling. I'm a gypsy at

heart. I need to do other things. I need to be creative and stop reading other people's fucking memoirs.

So if you don't mind, I'm just going to have a little break. Hopefully I might be back. Who knows, one day in the future.

But thank you all very, very much for welcoming me with open arms into the

podcast world. The show itself is going to continue because it is brilliant. You all love it.

There's going to be a brand new presenter, which will be extremely exciting. So I'm just going to say goodbye for now and maybe I'll

be back. And most importantly, I've really loved working with this team. Big God, Olly, goddess

Nya, goddess Charlie, goddess Katie, goddess Jemima and all the engineers and all the people behind the scenes,

they've really made this a very, very special job for me and one that I hold very close to my

fucked up old heart, although actually my heart isn't that fucked up because I was told by a consultant that I have got the arteries of somebody that has never smoked a cigarette in their life.

So if you want a fag kids, have a fucking fag.

But thank you all so much, you wonderful listeners, your brilliant emails, your wonderful messages
