Welcome to Not Another One.

It's a very special weekend edition because it is the first anniversary of our podcast.

Not Another One is wonderful. it is the first anniversary of our podcast. Yay!

Not another one is one year old.

Isn't that adorable?

Makes me feel young again.

We're taking a few early steps.

We've mastered some language, just basic language.

But, you know, the signs are promising that we might be quite verbal, in fact, as we develop.

But yes, but do bear with us if our verbal capacities decline over the course of this episode,

because to celebrate the occasion I have brought us a nice bottle of very iced cold bubbly

so that we can chink thank you very much sound effects in the studio today will be provided by

tim montgomery i was doing the slurping i'm afraid very good i Ian Martin, our very own resident wine buff, actually.

So I hope it meets with your approval. You've had a sip. Yeah, it's okay. I couldn't get to the co-op, you see. We're betraying the co-op and we've gone with the house champagne from MNS, which is good. We've gone with an M&S because they need, as Tim said me earlier,

they need to be propped up after the terrible cyber attack.

So all loyal MNS customers must buy champagne from them immediately. And Steve, sadly, you cannot be with us today. But you're down in Cornwall. Do you have a glass of anything? I've got a cup of tea. I've always in this studio when you've got

cake, champagne, I kind of time my absences, very bad. But mind you, there was an episode.

You can all get drunk and I'll take over this episode. Thank you so much. If we become utterly

incoherent, will you just sort of take control of the microphone remotely that would be that would be super um

but there was one occasion steve when you joined us from uh from portugal and i think you had a lovely

chilled glass of yeah vina verde at the time and we we just had tea that afternoon so that it's true

that is true tony ben would approve wouldn't he would approve of you having a mug of tea while talking to us.
