Had a postman called Pat on the show yesterday & completely failed to clock it. For shame. On the other hand, spotted that rascal @realdomjoly.bsky.social roaming the corridors & got him in the studio to confirm/claim that he was not the crazy farmer from a couple of weeks ago… - ThreadSky

Ohhh
Not this #earworm

Postman Pat....

wiltonspinach.bsky.social•165 days ago

It's all in Jesst I'm sure

garryhoniball.bsky.social•165 days ago

I live in SA and have no stake in British goings on, but I enjoy your show a lot. Follow on YouTube and socials.

petarcucuz.bsky.social•165 days ago

Still not convinced that it wasn’t Dom - did you hook him up to a polygraph machine ?

mjw2.bsky.social•164 days ago

Was this the farmer in question?I heard the call and can only hope for the sake of the poor man and his family that it was a prank.

dannyboy333.bsky.social•165 days ago

Charlie was too much to be a sketch... unless ant and dec are doing the rounds again?

celticpostie.bsky.social•164 days ago

I'm the only postman Who has worked FULL TIME for Royal Mail & USPS my claim to fame.

celticpostie.bsky.social•164 days ago

James, as a postman(mail carrier) over in USA I listen to you on catchup everyday, although I save Friday to listen on Saturday(as only one of us works 6 days a week 10 mile walk a day.

markyarn.bsky.social•165 days ago

Love owt like this

barlowstreet.bsky.social•165 days ago

We've all done it James - missed that opportunity or thought of the smart answer when the in interview is finished.
Pick yourself up and keep entertaining us and bringing us the truth. Don't beat yourself up.
Have a brew and a good natter with someone you know.
Works for me.

roysaunders.bsky.social•165 days ago

I heard the crazy so called Farmer. He may have been from an area, which I won't mention, in Weymouth, where they have six fingers on each hand.

ben1908.bsky.social•165 days ago

we'll all have six fingers one day.

voiceofjeff.bsky.social•165 days ago

Did he have a cat with him? A black and white cat? 🐈

duplodog.bsky.social•165 days ago

It was such a good mystery hour yesterday

brodles.bsky.social•165 days ago

Oh no @mrjamesob.bsky.social that was a very real person! He was apoplectic ☺️
How wonderful ❤️🥰

thecodecutter.bsky.social•165 days ago

James: Was it you Dom?
Dom: No
James: Fair enough.

Brilliant detective work from @mrjamesob.bsky.social 😜

davidofnottingham.bsky.social•164 days ago

A 5 second pause would have improved audience anticipation 🤣

thebluesislove.bsky.social•165 days ago

I was a postie. Worked with a fellow postie called Pat. Lovely bloke, never did get to see his cat though.

multihullgirl.bsky.social•165 days ago

Having listened a few times I suspect Caleb from C****sons Farm…

d-ablow.bsky.social•164 days ago

I may be stupid but was it actually Dom or not he denied it and seemed genuine but I'm not so sure now🤔🤣

stevie55.bsky.social•164 days ago

A few years ago he’d have been on the breakfast show…………………..unless it was the day’s 2nd post, Christ I’m old remembering the 2nd post👨‍🦳

tofuratitomgood.bsky.social•165 days ago

@realdomjoly.bsky.social is your son home / safe? I recall you saying to @alexisconran.bsky.social a few weeks ago that he was in Lebanon on an internship?

smokeandwax.bsky.social•165 days ago

My father was called Pat. He was a firefighter in London and for some time drove small van around with canisters and bottles used to fight fire. Guess his nickname?

0jazz0.bsky.social•163 days ago

Speaking of farmers, I watched Countryfile this morning. It covered the issue of Farmers/inheritance tax etc. Even this show doesn't agree with the protest. It confirmed to me that this is more about attacking Labour. Again. So fed up of it. Journos & "politicians" do a big disservice to the public.

cky.me.uk•165 days ago

You talking about Andrew? god I loved that segment 🤣

rottertron.bsky.social•165 days ago

Look out next week, for the guy claiming to be a Miller called Windy.

ben1908.bsky.social•165 days ago

I thought he might be Jonathan from Harrow for a while (shoutout to fellow Nick Abbot listeners!), but I've ruled that out now.

whap.bsky.social•165 days ago

Keep up the good work sir!🇨🇦

tristramc.bsky.social•165 days ago

That call cried out for a 'love to the family'

number452.bsky.social•165 days ago

Have you considered Bob Mortimer - he has history of prank calls to radio phone-ins.

rmcmurphy.bsky.social•165 days ago

Better than Farmer Twatt

theleebo.bsky.social•165 days ago

You should have that as the second segment for your last show, first people ring in where there names match their town, followed by famous profession names - Fireman Sam, postman pat, American soldier called Joe, Dr Foster, gentle Ben the bear tamer, Boris the buffoon etc…

lossieseadog.bsky.social•165 days ago

Ask Ian Lee about the prank calls by Bob Mortimer? Has anyone thought of voice analysis using machine learning to check whether it is Dom Joly? I’m happy to do it unless it would be a spoiler to find out? 😆

quadroplunder.bsky.social•165 days ago

It was radio gold! I was there (with my headphones on at work)

dangelos.bsky.social•164 days ago

the crazy farmer sounded like Jonathan Pie no?

rad71.bsky.social•165 days ago

So you didn’t like Charlie…but you are happy to mock him on 🦋; that place of peace you don’t want to turn into the other place….

the-librarian.bsky.social•165 days ago

And some of the best live radio ever, of course I’m referring to Kier Starmer thanking you personally for mystery hour and your french letter postal joke.

Should be some award due.

IMO.

mogtheconfessor.bsky.social•165 days ago

It must have been so refreshing for him not to have it brought up, though.

ant-w.bsky.social•165 days ago

aralski.bsky.social•165 days ago

I'm a Patrick and had a Christmas job at the post office a long time ago (they gave me a bicycle and everything) when I got home my mum and younger brothers would start singing the Postman Pat theme. Dad would start up as soon as he got back from work too 🙄

man-of-steel.bsky.social•165 days ago

He’s another one living in liberal elite world of London 😂

onebefore.bsky.social•165 days ago

He's doing one of those country dancers Petrina

craiggrannell.bsky.social•165 days ago

Given that he’s probably heard the joke a million times, I imagine we can now say that

🎶 Pat feels he’s a very happy man 🎵

stevebasnett.bsky.social•165 days ago

I don't know why, but for the last few minutes I've had this line in my head and I can't shake it:

Peter Ian Staker just called. He said the swan's escaped.

stevebasnett.bsky.social•165 days ago

But there's only one guy delivering every day on the radio. Am I right? Am I?

russ-hughes.com•164 days ago

Sounded like Caleb from Clarkson's Farm to me

davidofnottingham.bsky.social•164 days ago

Surely the black and white cat purring in the background must have sounded a warning bell? 😼

prlzx.bsky.social•165 days ago

It's not easy to spot them all because before long your phone-ins will include a farmer called John or Giles, a baker called Tom, a market trader or importer called Derek …

barlowstreet.bsky.social•165 days ago

Or a Mr Hunt called Mike.
I can see them coming a mile off after having been court out from my announcer days.

macerg.bsky.social•165 days ago

*Caught

bicycle-fat-bloke.bsky.social•165 days ago

Did he have a black & white cat.
