I saw footage of the guy leading a marathon take a drink for himself and then knock over all the rest of the cups as he ran past them. Elite shithousery!

This has saved me reading several very long Max Hastings books I’ve bought from charity shops over the years

I had an old plastic bin that I’d owned since 1999 when me and my wife bought our first house together. Last year she threatened me with divorce if I didn’t finally take it to the dump

I have huge job envy 😀
If you’d have asked me at 14 what I’d want to do it would have been work at Your Sinclair!

Ah, that’s interesting thanks for the reply
I remember I found it in an arcade at a holiday park in Cornwall it somewhere. There was a weird bug in it that let me just keep on playing without putting more money in it. The next day they’d fixed it though 😬

Yes! I thought the same thing too, a weird moral compass he has

That’s a really good point, I hadn’t thought about that at all. Jimmy Carr said on the radio once that Hillsborough was the only joke he felt was off limits. I wonder if he still thinks that?

Sounds terrible, the sort of thing Ricky Gervais and Jimmy Carr fans would lap up 🤢

Adolescence with Grenn as a solicitor and The Waif as a police officer was equally weird

If they delist as a public company when Big Jim takes full control like you say on the pod, does that affect your access to financial information etc?

I’d be happy with that otherwise it’s just New Zealand getting there all the while

I think 48 is a perfect number, my only gripe is I’d give Oceania two places

That’s good, honestly your pod is so good. After I found the first one I binged through the next 20 or so to catch up and they’re all excellent 😀

EHCP process is a nightmare! The admin, incompetence, apathy and gaslighting I’m sure is done on purpose to either save money, wear people down into accepting less or just put them off entirely

Well I’m sorry but it was their own fault, they weren’t very good at all. If it helps Argentina lost to the USA

Back in the room! Still Portugal 3-0 Uruguay and 77 minutes have gone
USA beat Argentina 2-0 earlier on and top Group A with five points, currently Portugal will go second with four points

That’s a shame, it was the name that drew me to you! I’ll still keep listening (it’d be weird if I didn’t just because of the name change) but the content will still be the same?

Ten minutes into the second half and Portugal are really comfy here. They’re quick into the press and look happy on the ball. Nothing really for the Portuguese keeper to do so far

Half time and it’s Uruguay 🇺🇾 0-3 Portugal 🇵🇹
Uruguay had some half chances early on but Portugal were clinical in their finishing
