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, I very welcome along to your free podcast for today, Tuesday, the 21st.

Do you know, I'd completely forgotten until yesterday that it's a bank holiday weekend coming up.

So it means we can go off and do exciting things.

I don't know what exciting things, but I'm trying to kill pigeons at the moment.

That's another story.

Anyway, the story that emanated from yesterday was Billy Connolly

and Michael Parkinson. Michael Parkinson said that he didn't recognise, that's Billy Connolly, his close friends.

Billy Connolly's wife, Pamela, has branded Michael Parkinson a daft old fart. And basically,

Billy Connolly said the same thing. Now, Billy is 75. Pamela is 68. Now, the feeling that Parky is, um, is about 80 something. I'm sure he is. But anyway, uh, she said, Pamela, that he was a daft old fart. Doesn't know what he's talking about. Billy's doing great and still funny as hell. So that's another relationship

gone to the wall, I suppose. Rita Aura, every time you open up the paper, there's another

dreary picture of the attention-seeking Rita Aura, very little action, just loads of different

outfits. They say the pop princess, no, just desperately sad. Made in Chelsea, Croatia,

Jamie flies Vegas Diana into Hever and lets her loose on Harry in front of

Melissa. Do you know, I don't understand any of that at all. That might as well have been speaking

gobbledy goo. Jamie is little, little Jamie Wapsett, you know, the one who supposedly air to nothing

at all. And now that the poor bloke's hair has all dropped out, he's had it shaved off,

which makes him look even worse than he did before.

Poor little soul.
