Evening

Without warning, we did Collings & Herrin Podcast 32 last night. But not in a pub in Kings Cross, nor to members of the Socialist Worker party. It should be up this morning. In our 32nd, unedited podcast, back in the teetotal, audience-free safety of Richard's attic (except with darkness falling), we solve the credit crunch, dream of a Utopian future where there is no racism, berate Sharon Stone, deify Bruce Parry, mock a three-year-old boy for having a permanent tattoo of Bart Simpson and alight, once again, upon Richard's Jigsaw fantasy (see: hard evidence of story in the accompanying pic). We have both been working very hard this week, on various separate projects it would be inappropriate to detail at this stage, and it was nice, as ever, to break away and do some voluntary work.

Ooh, Jigsaw! That takes me back. My memory may be playing games with me here, but I think I may actually have written off to the show when I was a nipper and received a pack of Jigsaw stickers in return.
I look forward to listening to the podcast on my way home, particularly to find out if Richard's Jigsaw fantasy involves Janet Ellis, like the rest of ours does!
I trust you're both sober in this one? :-)
Cheers

Doug

You could have made loads of money for charity if Herrin had been sponsored for every time he said "Stalin".

The song about "Coffee coulered people" is Melting Pot by Blue Mink.

And for my first post to this blog I lose the ability to spell. Oh well.

Sober as judges, Doug.

I've met a couple of judges in my life, never met one who was sober though. Even in the morning.
Although for legal reasons, I'd like to state that I am sure that this applies only to the judges I have met, and should not reflect badly on all judges.
Think I may have covered my back there.

Richard Herring's hair is awesome. Not being sarcastic; his hair looks great.

"In our 32nd, unedited podcast" Unedited, you say? So what happened last week then when a scurrilous extract from the live podcast was cut? Was that editing? Or did the laptop temporarily crash in sympathy with the fear of lawyers?

The laptop played up at the beginning, accidentally cutting out Richard's best material, then I cut out the bit that was libellous after the event, earning myself the epithet "Stalin", which I'm almost proud of.

re: Jigsaw

Surely when a man doesn't find the word 'Noseybonk' funny he has finally put away childish things.

Back to the attic, and another classic.

And, agreeing with Phil above, Richard has massive hair!

You were on my mind this morning Andrew (not in that way, not that there's anything wrong with that) when I was in a library today with my two year old. Whilst we were walking through the biography section she grabbed 'The Mitford Sisters' by Mary S. Lovell and asked me what it was. I laughed that this was the book she went for, having heard so much about them from you over the last > 30 weeks.

I laughed again when I saw the book next to this on the shelf was Piers Morgan's 'Don't you know who I am?' (It's quite a small library and there aren't that many books in it.)

Enjoyed the podcast. You both seemed to feel that last week's wasn't up to scratch. It may have felt like it to you on the night, but I enjoyed it as a listener. The Edinburgh one was better for sure, but last weeks was good.

Can't believe Richard knows a song that Andrew doesn't! That's got to be a first!! Neil B.

Ah, Noseybonk. Scarred my childhood, he did. Tell me there's nothing sinister about this -
