Hello, I'm currently out of office.

An article I read recently said we're more relaxed and more productive after a good break.

So, I've gone to Barbados for a month for science. Yours, Toby. Take your holiday as seriously as British

Airways holidays take your holiday. Atul protected. This is a download from LBC. Steve Allen's

Little Bit Extra. Morning everybody. Welcome along to your free podcast for today. Thursday, the 15th of October.

I'm going to have to race through today because I really do think I've picked up a cold.

And you know me, if I get a cold, I'm as miserable as sin.

My friend Chris thinks he might have something too.

He's not too sure about the cold.

And so we're all suffering with it.

Because once one person in this building gets it, then it does the cold. And so, uh, we're all suffering with it. Because once one person in this building

gets it, then it does the rounds. Anyway, perhaps the celebrity gossip will put a smile on my

face this morning. Hopefully a smile on your face too, because we like you to be happy. We like you

to be, uh, in tune with what's going on. I can't wait to actually get home and watch me

drain the Titanic thing from Bermansy Bill.

Very excited about that.

So the apprentice started last night.

I didn't bother because I don't watch it.

I can't be bothered to listen to these people trotting out their silly lines.

So we've got rid of Dan Callaghan.

So failure number one.

You know, let's face it, if you're the first one kicked out, you're really not much cop. But they all stand there and they sit there. They all hate each other.
