Here is the news
In the 22nd Collings & Herrin Podcast, we bring perhaps the most important news story of the year to wider notice, unfathomably buried at the bottom of Page 6 in this week's Sun, and ignored by all the other papers. We also start a campaign to make necrophilia illegal and review the 1983 TV drama Reilly Ace Of Spies. You don't get reviews of 1983 TV dramas on the Cobra Pubcast with Danny Wallace and Dom Joly.And here is a nice picture that a person called Jonah very kindly made of me and a much less insulting and disrespectful comedy partner:

The duck looks rather trepidatious. I can see the fear in his eye, and the glee in yours.
Necrophilia IS illegal under the Sexual Offences Act 2003. Isn't it? LOVELY duck btw. It really suits you.
Anna
Thanks, Anna. I am now campaigning to keep it illegal.
oh, I bought That's me in the corner - partly because I wanted to, partly because I liked RH's ruse.
I'm going on holiday on Saturday, so it's perfect for that. However, I'm already on page 123, and at this rate will have finished it.
This is praise.
Loved the latest podcast. Please invite Richard round to your parent's house for sunday lunch so that you mum can punch him in the face. Make sure that you are recording it for the video podcast.
Sarah, Perth WA.

Necrophilia is illegal as is bestiality. However the former only applies to humans and the later to living animals. There's a loophole that needs closing!

Congratulations!
Richard greeting you in his flimsy dressing gown, means that you are now the Larry Sanders and David Duchovney of the podcast world.
PS: Did you see the excellent 2-hour documentary on The Qur'an this week on Channel 4?
Really well-researched and intelligent documentary, which makes you realise how rare such things are nowadays, outside of the great and noble BBC4.
It's available to watch now free on 4OD. Well worth a watch for a liberal intellectual type like yourself.
It should hopefully act like a brain-sorbet after all that bumming and necrophilia chatter.
Andrew,
I always wondered who contributed to these blogs.
Your lot seemed to be ok, from outside observation, but you have seen my first and last.
Cheers and bye forever.
SARAH.
Sarah, I have removed the offending post, which was a bit mean-spirited and petty. I hope my decisive if belated action will convince you to stick around.
Andrew, have you seen this story and attached footage?

Blast - I wish I had been quick enough on site to find out what so upset Sarah that she rushed straight back to Perth. Must have been good.
Sarah,
I hope it wasn't my post that upset you (the second one that Andrew has deleted). By pointing out the ridiculousness of the first post I was - albeit rather clumsily - trying to support you...
David, Liverpool
Andrew, you had another mention from Jon Gaunt on Friday on his radio show (although it was a 'guilty by association' one as he was primarily moaning about Richard Herring) You've touched a nerve there I think.
David in Liverpool, I removed your comment only because it referred directly back to the offending comment, so I took it out because it looked odd. Sorry about that. No, the offending comment was by DTaylor and it was simply a bald "correction" of two pieces of grammar in Sarah's original post. I published it in amongst a whole raft of other comments and of course, out of context, it didn't look "offensive." In fact, to be fair to DTaylor, it only became offensive once Sarah was offended by it, which is when I removed it. It's tough being the moderator! But a general rule is: no abuse to me, and no abuse to others. Even though I feel sure DTaylor didn't mean it as abuse (it may well have been an ironic post, as I do nitpick about spelling and grammar here, albeit not in others' posts), it upset Sarah, so it seemed only fair to take it out circulation. Especially as she's new. Sorry about the fallout.
Incidentally, no Paul I haven't seen The Qur'an yet, but I have it taped for a rainy day.
Thanks for the tip-off, Geoff. What a shame Gaunty doesn't work for a radio station modern enough to have Listen Again. (It's especially ironic, as we haven't mentioned him for weeks, having not recorded on a Friday for a long time.)
I am truly sorry that my post has caused so much upset. I've been feeling pretty bad about the response (so much so that I've considered a complete retreat from reading and posting things on here), but I thank you,Andrew, for your balanced stand on the matter and for rightly picking up on the ironic spirit in which my points were intended. Apologies to everyone who has been upset. If it's any consolation,I've lost sleep because of the negative response ("serves you right", some might say).
Hey, it's a love-in. No need for guilt, DT, as it's all cleared up now. Maybe Sarah from Perth will come back. (It's always a difficult line to tread in print, irony. I don't like them, or use them, but I guess that's what "emoticons" are for. The little wink at the end of a well-meant post!)
You're all swines. And I shan't lose any sleep over saying that. How d'you like THEM apples?
perhaps a prank call to gaunty on next weeks podcast wil do the trick.
Pity you're so busy, Andrew. I would have really enjoyed seeing your post on Celebrity Masterchef.
Seems to have turned into a Scouse lovie weepfest - me, a simple kid from Liverpool 8, on Masterchef etc.
Great TV as ever.
I was shocked to hear that you know so little about Goodnight Sweetheart. It's my tenth favourite sitcom of the 90s.
Also, had you or Richard really never heard of donkey punching before that film's release? What about bagpiping or teabagging?
Paul, thanks for reminding me and spurring me into action.
Phil, I have heard of teabagging but not bagpiping, which I suspect you've made up. I had honestly never heard of donkey punching until I read about the film of the same name. I lead a sheltered life. (Richard probably knew about it but pretended not to, to support his lovable yokel image.)
I've never to knowledge seen Goodnight Sweetheart. I might now buy all of the box sets.
I see you're now officially explicit according to iTunes, keep up the good work!
I just got some spam with the title "Snake caught swallowing horse" - and the other day got "Madonnas Former Home Destroyed By Jesus". Surely this, and Elton's recent shooting are portents of the end of days?
Rich
some funny ones in this morning;
Schwarzenegger admits to starting wild california wild fires
Bush and Putin agree to resume cold war during G8 summit
Obama to change name to Yo Mama
Finally spam has the ability to make me smaile and sometimes laugh out loud (perticularly at the recent Michael jackson ones!)
