Bit blowy out, isn’t it? Ben’s specialist subject is boy bands, There’s a ladder safety quiz, we watch Camping, with Julia Davis, and say farewell to Mr Pickles.

We ponder mischief nights of yon VS trick or treat, winning a square badger at the fair, the expense of building a modern Christmas cake, and there's a quiz called Curse/Nut/Moped.

Rob steps into his first episode as my full-time booze review partner, and we enjoy beers from the mighty Marble of Manchester.

Back once again, with Ben.

I test him on his recent travels in a themed Malta quiz, wonder what's inside a Stormtrooper, and we hate every ape we see, from chimpan-A to chimpan-Z.

Yes they really made a monkey out of us.

Couple of choice beverages from Apple County Cider and Sired Craft Brew.

Sit down if you're staying.

Sound is a bit up and down with this one, so bear with us, kids.

Trust me, your ears will adjust quickly.

Ben’s away working on his tan, so I asked a couple of guests to help man the oars.

The brilliant Buckers, who you might know from Twitter is here to talk about why I’m finding my return to the world of jobseeking a bizarre, alien landscape, and my pal Robert John, who composed and performed our theme tune has stepped in to discuss six very different beers.

So a different animal, but it won’t go toilet on your carpets.

We’re both very old, very tired men this month, and Ben has a bit of Covid, but still we turn up at the coal face…

DANCE, MONKEYS, DANCE!

The big talk is all about technology, Ben is asked to take photos of his cat’s privates, I quiz him on his beloved Wolverhampton Wanderers, we go topical with a look at the local newspapers, and there are posh drinks from Windsor & Eton Brewery and Seidear.

Apologies for the bleppy sound…. SOMEONE forgot to put 20p in the internet box.
