You spent a million pounds and you're staying in a youth hostel in Barcelona.

Who are these people that are writing it to us?

Boy, you, you look like a poop emoji.

Hello and welcome to wanging on with Graham and Maria.

It's a podcast for myself, my good friend Maria McCurlin.

Attempt to solve your dilemmas with mixed results. Hello to Maria and your small friend. Yes, this is Rafi, the toy poodle. Thank you for joining us, Rafi. It doesn't seem that interested. No, he found he had nothing else on, so he thought he might as well. At a loose end, as twere. There's obviously a mouse over there or something. He'll dart off in a moment. Oh, Maria. Yes, darling. Is the summer over? No, please. Please don't say it's over. It's only September. The nights are drawing in. They are, but we do normally get in nice September. People have been saying that for the last few years, and it's not true. I think it's just to stave off the onset of winter. I mean, this is my least favorite, least favorite sort of season, even though we don't have seasons anymore. Autumn, really. We're going into autumn, aren't we? I like, do you not like putting out your sweaters? No. Your winter wardrobe? No. Long nights and, you know, cold days, no. Well, of course, and you live by the seaside, so it does become a bit duch. Drich? Yes, it does. Drach. Well, you don't notice this watch in London. I always say to people when they move down to the seaside, summer is lovely, and you'll think, why didn't I move here earlier?

And then once the winter comes, you look at the sea and on day four, you fill your

Wellington boots with stones and walk into the sea.

It's that sort of advice we'll be dishing out today. Don't you worry.

I always like to look on the bright side of things.

So I always tell people you must go back up to London to, you know, selfridges and other shops.

Selfridges and buy big boots. Just, you know, remember that it's not all sea. That's all.

Yeah, not all at sea. And I, isn't it funny, when I was a kid, I used to hate this time of year, but now I quite like it. I like getting back to work and things being busy and everyone being back in city again. You're weird. No, but it's good. Whereas when you're kid, you don't want the summer to end. Well, always, the school started again on the 5th of September. Really? Yeah. Always remember.

For me. I always remember that. And that was, you know, it's like Sunday nights multiplied by a hundred in

in terms of fear and horror. I bet you were popular at school. You were.

Popular. You were, weren't you? Gotta be popular. Yeah. I will, yes. Yes, thank you. That's enough of that. Thank you. We've established popular. I was be popular. Yes. Yes. That's enough of that. Thank you.

Yes.

We've established popular.

I was quite popular, but I was very naughty and disruptive.

Yes.

You?

No, I head down.
