Morning, everybody, welcome along to your free podcast for today.

0:09.2

And having sort of got over the shock of Phil Vickery not playing golf,

0:13.2

I'm sure I've seen a picture of him playing golf.

0:15.3

Perhaps he looks like Tony Jacqueline.

0:17.3

I think he looks a bit like Tony Jacqueline playing golf.

0:19.8

Perhaps that's why I thought that. Perhaps that's why I thought it.

0:22.3

Anyway, thank you for all of your texts and emails today. Very much appreciated. And I think we managed to put the caramac. Do you remember caramac? I just to love caramac.

0:33.5

Milky Bar as well. And chocolate tools, says Kevin the milkman. Do you remember? You should get the little box and

0:39.7

little hammer and all the rest of it. Actually, I got one at one show, which was chocolate, a chocolate hammer and things like that,

0:45.6

but really made so, and it was also coloured, so it looked as though it was metal. I gave him to my brother.

0:51.1

Tom thumb drops. Oh, they sound nice. What were Tom thumb drops?

0:55.1

Sherbert Pips, chewing nuts. Oh, chewing nuts. Nothing to do with nuts, but they were nice.

1:00.0

And I used to work for chicks, bubble gum factory. Oh, wow. Chicks. We used to get chicks in, oh, chicklets in Hong Kong. I remember that. And the fruit salads. Oh, Tracy. Stop it, stop it, stop it.

1:13.2

And John says your show always gives me great memories. I like to give people great memories.

1:18.1

I like to make sure that we jog your memory on occasions because I think it's healthy. I think

1:24.3

the healthier it is. And also, it gives you more to talk about in the course of the day. Because if you're one of these people that goes out and you want to talk to people and you haven't got any conversation, you can go, what was that sweet called? That's always a good old standby. But chicklets, which came in a, I can see it now. I can see it. Oh, dear, honestly, jogged my memory now. Anyway, so in the celebrity world, this is what this little bit of the programme looks at. This is your special free podcast. I try and be caring about people, but as you know, it doesn't always work. So consequently, new people who've come to me via another one of my radio friends have said, oh my God, it's so good, but by God, are you bitchy?

2:02.0

I've said, actually, I'm not bitchy. I'm just telling you the truth. I don't like to be bitchy. It probably sounds bitchy. But I promise you, I'm just being caring and sharing. Like, I did predict that Natasha Hamilton and Richie Neville would last about five minutes. They did go a little bit longer, but not much more. his career had disappeared completely.

2:00.1

He comes back.

2:00.8

He marries her.

2:02.1

I don't know how many fathers she's got for her children. I'm not sure if she's another four by four, but she's done another entry with OK magazine, which I always think is very, very sort of, you know, not the kind of thing you should do. You know, you need to keep certain things private in your life. And so she's spoken in detail about the split. I mean, you know, what would be the reason for talking about the split? So you went out with Richie Neville. You appeared on various shows and you flogged various stories. And now it's finished. How dumb do you both look? How dumb what he's going to do now? God alone. Of course, the next thing he'll be turning up with somebody, won't he? Somebody else on the red carpet or something. Like, you know, he was a force to be reckoned with, not really. Colleen Rooney enjoys a date night with husband Wayne. Unfortunately, he's on his phone, so he just leaves her wandering along like a pri a prized turkey at the back he's on his phone
