Chase us
Collings & Herrin Podcast 68 is upon us [or will be soon] - and still sponsored by Bedford's Rhythm Festival. I had come hotfoot from reviewing the newspapers on Nick Ferrari's breakfast show on London's LBC, a non-stop commercial talk station ("London's Big Conversation"), and thus I had read all of the newspapers, cover to cover, that's all of them, including the "X-rated" Daily Star. For once, it's all news, and no nonsense or housekeeping or catchphrases or plugs for things we are doing or Richard complaining about being tired: the redacted MPs' expenses, the Wheelie Bin Revolution, the difference between Alesha Dixon and Arlene Philips, Sir Fred Goodwin's chimney-sweeping pennance, the "Tarmaccing community", Jordan's "X-rated" romp, the allure of nappies to the urban fox, and the great fluoridation debate. The one question we don't answer is, "Who is Virgilio Anderson?"

RE: Richard's Re-interpretation of Alesha Dixon's song, Chris Moyles did almost exactly the same thing a few months ago:

Another great podcast!
I am amazed that anyone could read all of the newspapers cover to cover in a day little own a morning hats off to you and condolances as I imagine that would be boring and depressing reading. did you read every single word? I am a very slow reader.
Hey Andrew,
Really enjoyed the podcast as ever - I agree that some ticket inspectors in london are a bit OTT and stubborn, however we are not all the same and don't all have power trips. In my role I try to hel[ people as much as possible, but the problem is while many people whp have tickets that no longer swipe are genuine, there are a lot of people who approach us at the gates who are just being lazy and refuse to take their tickets out of their plastic folder out of principle, which males our job more difficult and cannot help out genuine people who actually have a legitimate problem with their pass.
it is interesting though that there is a culture in society now that if we even if we check a ticket it is seen as bad customer service and people remark to us that we are on a power trip or even worse Nazis, which I think is interesting image of the minority. your experience did sound strange though!
Best Wishes,
James Wilkins
Really enjoy the podcast, having only started listening in the past couple of months, despite following your respective careers for the best part of 15 years.
Unfortunately, the people of Brisbane, Australia now think that I'm a little mental, as I spend my train journey into the city violently shuddering, whilst trying to suppress my laughter.

The song Richard was singing at the start of the podcast is "I Am The Beat" by The Look, the biggest band to ever come out of Ely! An impressively pathetic claim to fame: a friend of mine owns the piano it was written on.
I hear on the podcast that you are now at the "I'm going to fucking Glastonbury" stage of apprehension. Chin up Andrew! It will be great. Just you wait and see.
The fake catchphrase you mentioned "Gods will be dragged screaming from the ether" I actually recognised and is from Steve Aylett's book Lint. I think The Caterer might of said it.
I thought it was a good podcast this week.

Andrew,
Nick Ferrari may not be Jon Gaunt but he is still a right wing dickhead. Did you not notice how he almost cried when when you criticized the Daily Mail's wheelie bin campaign? It was nice to hear your voice but I don't think I'll be downloading another of Ferrari's show for the Ipod in the near future. It was pretty torturous.

@Nigel,
"little own" ! - That's excellent. I believe that's what Adam and Joe commonly refer to as an egg-corn :)
(Assuming you did actually mean 'let alone' and I'm not making a fool of myself!)
Collings looks like a boglin in the picture for podcast 68. A kind of Mark Steel-inspired boglin.

@Nigel yes it seems it was an eegcorn for 20 years Ive been saying little own little did I know it was supposed to be let alone. Although neither really make sanse. I couldnt even understand that little own/let alone understand quantum mechanichs
@ James: Yes he does look like a boglin doesn't he? Very much like one.
Maybe this could be conveyed in the toilets at the British Library at some point? Just an idea a very good idea.

Hi Andrew,
Just to let you know: it is possible to have an ``anonymous'' oyster card. You can get a card from a tube station ticket office without having to reveal who you are or where you live.
Of course, TfL still collects all the journey data from the card. They just don't know the particular individual who is making them.
This might put an end to your ticket inspector woes.
Adam
