0:59
to this week's sponsor for the Tom and Jerry Show, Find the venue that
1:02
I do. You know what I'm going to tell you, Tom, But
1:03
I think there might be a future in this Tom and Jerry Show. I
1:07
think we might be actually very dedicated to it. Why I think that,
1:11
God, I'll tell you why I think that, Because ladies and gentlemen,
1:15
you're very welcome along to the Tom and Jerry Show. Me and Tom are
1:19
recording this on the Monday evening of a bank hall of the weekend. And
1:23
I'll tell you one thing. If you can get us in out of the
1:25
garden and away from our other pursuits to record this, I think I think
1:30
we might make it. Tom. I think this is the crest of the
1:32
wave, do you know? And you're one hundred percent right. I took
1:34
it very seriously. It was like, well, you know what right down
1:37
tools I was both at the house and I was, Oh, Jerry,
1:41
can I just show you up? Can I just show you something? This
1:42
is just please this is just a sample for the for the listeners. This
1:47
is just a sample. I just wanted to hear Jerry's reaction when I show
1:49
him this, and this is along with the plethora of things that I've been
1:53
heading a shopping in the basket online for about six months, but is now
1:57
necessary and purchased in your possession. What you got? Oh now, how
2:04
will I describe this to the people that are only listening on the podcast?
2:08
Do you know what? Do you know? Them rude shops you used to
2:12
go into in town and you'd have to knock on the door to get into
2:15
them. They'd have to buzzy in that have beads as well on the door.
2:21
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, No, that is
2:23
a beauty, Tom. That is a de Wault cordless it is, and
2:27
I've gotten a pleasure of other things to go with it, because Eric,
2:30
you're at nothing breaking around with the which I I have. I have mastered
2:36
breaking around with bad al yolks. And this is a time sensitive scenario,
2:42
so I cannot be fuck acting around, pardon the course, but I can't
2:46
be bollocking around with half arson, So I had to go full DeVault and
2:52
all the gear, and that just that just brings me to, uh,
2:55
to my point that we started off with that this is a bank holiday weekend
2:59
and Tom has a twenty four volte if I'm not mistaken, the wall cordless
3:05
hammer action drill, and he's in here podcasting. Yeah, that's exactly my
3:09
point. That's exactly my point. I got a new skill sell as well.
3:14
I was, and I properly had to do some Joyston and stuff like
3:15
that, and I just went, Jesus, I'd better run down to my
3:19
bride because we have our very very serious show. We have a packed show
3:23
for you here, ladies and gentlemen. What I further do? What do
3:24
you say? We get into it, Tom, Let's do it. Let's
3:27
do it. Let's do it. As you all know, we start to
3:30
show with a little chat about whatever was the big brew this week though,
3:32
the scuttle butt Tom, the Shenanigans, the weekly what have you? This
3:38
is a very complicated case, Mad, You know a lot of what have
3:42
you? And h a lot of SCRAMs to keep in my head man,
3:46
the weekly what have you? Well, I mean there's there's no choice to
3:50
delve into what the weekly was weekly one. This was kind of forced here,
3:53
I Will was. Yeah, we knew to his coming, and this
3:55
is this Will the hour serious we are. We knew to his common even
4:00
ahead of time we knew what was coming down the track and this and because
4:02
this is this is the live part of the podcast, and that it's the
4:06
week that's coming up or the week that's going around, but it's the swirling
4:10
around us at the minute. Is Eurovision. Eurovision is back again, jer
4:14
Eurovision is back around this week, Tom, it is being held, I
4:17
want to say in Sweden, Malmo, Malmo, Yes, indeed, Ireland,
4:24
it must be said, has to my mind, absolutely no chance in
4:29
hell, not a snowballs chance in hell of getting out of the semi finals,
4:31
let alone succeeding in the finals. And I'm gonna be honest with you,
4:34
Tom, We're not going to talk too much about this week's Eurovision.
4:38
You have a couple of acts that you might have seen there that might draw
4:41
the eye a little bit if nothing else. This is this is all I'm
4:43
looking for. And our representative here in Ireland is Bombi Tug, which you
4:47
know, like exactly she she They I should say they look exactly because they
4:54
identify as they and but they look exactly what you would hope though, the
4:59
only thing is like like I think you gotta be a mad gotta go wild,
5:03
and there's a couple that have they Oh, if you look up the
5:06
website of the participants, oh my god, they're exactly. There's a couple
5:11
of them there. You're like, come on, you're just trying to be
5:13
too clam But like Armenia has gone right back to. It's like we're talking
5:18
right back to. They're gonna have the owen in the back churn and milk
5:21
like it's it's it's it's very Eurovision. I will exactly Eurovision Azerbaijan look exactly.
5:30
Two lads, two lads with I can't say the question of mustaches,
5:35
but other people would say the question mustache is yeah, you don't have the
5:40
stones to throw there? The two lads in Finland, yeah, absolutely all
5:44
day long. There's a lot of other Bambi tog of course our one she
5:48
they are with a song called Doomsday Blue. By the way, I didn't
5:54
even know what the song was called. I've seen them, I've seen them
5:57
online. Here's the thing. Time I lost all he Eurovision. Now in
6:00
the last couple of years, I'll tell you what got it for me.
6:03
You know, there's a whole pile of reasons why people aren't watching this year's
6:06
Eurovision, and like you know, absolutely very valid reasons why people aren't watching
6:12
this year's Eurovision. But let's not to scant the fact that it is at
6:15
the back of it all shit oh to some load of shit. And I
6:18
think like once you kind of get in, once you embrace the shitness,
6:23
I think is what you need to get on board. But it's nearly like
6:26
watching you know, like watching the Donkey Derby. Yeah, you don't look
6:30
at it through the guys as somebody who goes to Cheltenham like you go to
6:33
Kentucky Derby. This is the Donkey Derby. You want somebody to come flopping
6:36
off roar or coming over the finishing line facing backwards holding onto the donkey's arse.
6:42
That's essentially what the youro vision is. I mean, I honestly go
6:46
ahead. In fact that Australia are in Eurovision tells you everything you need to
6:50
know about the legitimacy of this of this show. Well, I mean too
6:56
and a few other countries not from Yeah, yeah, here's the here's the
7:00
thing with Eurovision, tom Ah. What got me what it was when it
7:04
went from Leno you have to qualify in the semifinals to get into the finals.
7:08
I was like, I'm heating. This is running a year a year.
7:12
Yeah yeah, but not for nothing. I'm gonna tell you this much
7:14
now, for notting. It wasn't always this way. It wasn't. It
7:18
wasn't because in my head I still get surprised every year when I find out
7:21
what you mean, We're not just in it? What? So we what?
7:26
Why are we in this? Where do these semi finals come from?
7:29
But they do? They have these semi finals things. There's a couple more
7:31
I just want to point out before you jump into the watch. Mcallus.
7:34
I'm going to shut shut this down because these guys that draw my attention to
7:38
the guy keep the guy and guy up from the guy from Netherlands used to
7:41
climb. He has two knees sticking out of his shoulders. San Marino,
7:46
which I'll be honest with you, I didn't fully know. I thought it
7:47
was a holiday destination. San Marino as his own country. Apparently there that's
7:51
a band called Megra and they're wearing balaclavas. So need I say anymore?
7:56
There we say anymore? Apart from that, really they get a bit more
8:00
boringly looking. But does the mad jokes? I want to see Pyro coming
8:03
out of people's nostrils, out of their hole. Yeah. I want to
8:07
see someone like you know die, yeah and then just say well that was
8:09
their art. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, that's what I want to
8:11
see. I want to see Madie. I'm going to take them by.
8:13
I don't want to see anyone die at Eurovision. Don't die at Eurovision when
8:18
you could die in your hole at Eurovision. Easy to listen to me.
8:24
Here's what we are going to talk about for Eurovision. Tom, like say,
8:28
it wasn't always this way and I have no heat in this year's Eurovision.
8:31
If you want to watch it me o, God go with you.
8:33
But what we want to do with the Tom and Jerry show is for all
8:37
the people that we're asking, which is nobody. But heck, look,
8:39
you know what we gotta do. Tom. We've got to put on a
8:41
show, buddy. We got to answer our our listeners that did not did
8:46
not ask for this at all, To answer a question that nobody was asking.
8:50
Here's what you and I are going to do for this segment. We're
8:54
going to rank in order of preference, the seven Eurovision winning song is that
9:00
this country has produced Jesus Christ. When you when you were talking about I
9:03
was like seven, okay, right, we have seven. That's still not
9:07
a bad record. That's a good hold that that that is a that is
9:11
a record setting hall. We only got tied last year by Sweden. They
9:16
now have seven wins as well. Up until that point we were the where
9:20
the most Eurovision wins of any country and not nobody has ever won the Eurovision
9:26
in as close of a spread as we have. Like we won seven times
9:31
in thirty years. Sweden won seven times in sixty years, which means we're
9:35
due aborst which I don't know that comment this is this is on the got
9:39
sixty years. Oh yeah, Like this shouldn't like in all for all series.
9:45
They should have they should have never got out of the eighties time.
9:46
But look, no, we are like this the last presenter. This should
9:50
have been like you know, Richard O'Brien from the Crystal Maze, do you
9:52
know what I mean? That's where that should have finished. But here we
9:56
are. So I'm gonna I'm going to give you that. I'm going to
9:58
give you the seven winning entries from from Ireland with their years, and then
10:03
we're going to go through it and and you know, kill some time.
10:07
How's that said, well, I have my opinions. I have my opinions.
10:11
When I saw the sound, I went all right, okay, okay,
10:15
so here we go. Okay. So nineteen seventy Dan All Kinds of
10:18
Everything, nineteen eighty Johnny Logan, What's another year? Nineteen eighty seven,
10:20
The Man came Back? Would Hold Me Now? From Johnny Logan. Nineteen
10:22
ninety two Lynda Martin with y Me then nineteen ninety three, Naive Cavnet an
10:28
your Eyes, We're Unstoppable, ninety four Paul Harrington and Charlie mcgedigin with Rock
10:31
and Roll Kids, and then we skipped a year because we couldn't afford it,
10:33
and we were right back in nineteen ninety six with Imer Quinn's the Voice.
10:39
And we have not gotten a smell of Eurovision victory since. So there's
10:41
we don't get on the left side of the board. There are useful listeners
10:46
listening to this cone. What we used to win Eurovision? We did?
10:50
We did, I mean we were sick of winning it. Absolutely zero athletic
10:54
prowess to do it. So a lot of people probably don't take a lot
10:56
of pride in it, but we were pretty good for a while I mean
10:58
it was absolutely fleece in the country. It was before the boom hit.
11:01
I'll be honest with you, and I think Mill Street was down near at
11:05
breaking point street, Mill Street, the head of down Mill Street, down
11:09
a road in Mill Street like if ever, there was brown envelopes flying around
11:15
to get that down there. In my memory it was in the point.
11:20
But no, you're absolutely right. We're lucky it wasn't in the Dom and
11:22
Tralee. But here we are, so Tom, we've got seven uh entries
11:28
there. Someone has to be last, someone has to be the least favorite
11:31
on that. Can you give me your least favorite on that? And I'll
11:33
see who I can cor my good man like rip that off here, I'm
11:35
going to write this down. Who's your least favorite out of them? All
11:39
I know you're going to hold on is Danna from your neck of the woods.
11:45
Dana is a Northern Ireland lady. Is she from there? She going
11:50
to politics or something? She went into politics very fairmly on one side of
11:54
the coin down alright, alright, she's still light. Yeah, it hasn't
12:03
voted no in every referendum you care to mention, Tom, Yeah, Danna
12:13
to the best of my knowledge as well, is alive. If she is
12:16
not, someone will correct us in the comments. We're sorry for tear and
12:20
open your Dana wounds, but no, I believe she's alive. Like I
12:24
want to say, her name is Dana Rosemary Scanlon. Okay, okay,
12:28
I want to say, like, her name is Rosemary Scanlon brackets Dana Da.
12:33
I mean ironic that you'd be in any way, you know, against
12:37
referendums or against progress or liberal because it's done so all kinds of everything.
12:43
Yeah, yeah, all kinds of be famous for being in the competition that
12:48
is the most campest thing that has ever been created instead of San Francisco Pride
12:52
Month, Like, yeah, it doesn't. It doesn't, you know,
12:58
it doesn't doesn't line up. Yeah, it doesn't line up. So,
13:01
I mean, I don't know about you, Tom, I had I had
13:03
done it in Last paced you have done in last pace. Just because it's
13:05
a very old fashioned source, I'm happy to go with it because it is
13:09
an oldie timing song and I would give me a dose of shy to listen
13:11
to. But also, what's another year? It's a bit on the nose
13:16
there, Johnny Logan, What's another year? But I do. I will
13:20
say he took it very well. One night, I was a few on
13:24
and I was in Rook Cells in Dublin, and he was wearing a white
13:30
leather jacket, white T shirts and bold strategy and a white on a night
13:35
out in town like Guinness everyone and white jeans and white shoes. And I
13:39
said, Gizzy, Gizzy, go to the jacket, Johnny, and he
13:43
did. He let me wear the jacket. And then I asked him which
13:46
part of the building was he going painting? When I looked at him then
13:48
again because in all fairness he did look like a fellow who could do a
13:52
decent cut in you know, in the ceiling, like this is a real
13:54
story. You actually met Johnny Logan and Jenny was all dressed and white this
13:58
and we only got can't I close to him because it was post a demo
14:05
and Ivor show. When we were right, things were big and hot and
14:07
we were ontil lilies. After that, that goes them back in them helcyon
14:11
days of well, I only showed up for for eethering. To be honest
14:16
with you, that was that was it. He did, He'll wear his
14:18
jacket. I'll be honest with you. Tom If I was out for a
14:22
night out and all of a sudden I seen Johnny Logan come and walking towards
14:24
me, all drest and white, I would have thought that I'd gotten to
14:26
punch to the back of the head and I was bleeding out on the footpath.
14:31
I'm which which was angel in the form of Johnny that approached, approached
14:35
the archangel Johnny. So Angel, Johnny, it sounds like you're putting what's
14:39
another year in sixth? That's where it will go for me, because well,
14:46
you know he's the man, he's mister Eurovision. That song for me
14:50
was just like, Okay, what song doesn't do it for me? It
14:52
literally, what's what's another year? That's what's another year again? Do you
14:58
know? I gotta tell you it didn't didn't work for me all that much
15:00
either. I wouldn't have put it that though, But you know what we've
15:01
got, We've got a ways to go. So we are gonna put Johnny
15:05
Logan's What's another year in second to last place or sixth for people that are
15:09
doing it that way. Now that leaves us to number five. We're getting
15:13
into some good stuff here coming. Now here's what I want to just to
15:16
inform your decision a week. But don't think about the best song, think
15:20
about the best Eurovision song. Two very different things. Oh yeah, yeah,
15:24
that's fine. Yeah yeah, yeah, No, I know because I'm
15:26
and I don't by that, don't but I reckon that you're saying it should
15:30
be shy from because I don't know. I don't know. I get it,
15:33
I get it. Who who I was gonna? I was gonna put
15:37
rock and Roll Kids in number five because rock and Roll Kids is a good
15:41
song. Yeah, I don't know that. It's a very Eurovision song.
15:43
And to be honest, for those of you that aren't old enough to know
15:46
this, it came at in nineteen ninety four after we had won the damn
15:50
thing twice in a row, and everybody that heard it for the first time
15:54
all said the same thing. We're throwing the competition. Yeah, we cannot
15:58
afford to run it again. Yeah, I remember, right, because it's
16:03
moment where they we're just like right. But that's what the father Ted joke
16:07
was about. Yeah, that we're putting the worst song forward to try and
16:11
not and like, rock and Roll Kids is not a bad song, but
16:12
it's not for Eurovision. It's a chop on a guitar, on a chap
16:15
on the piano, and it's a slow paced, sort of Phil Colder kind
16:18
of a thing. A we won the damn thing again. We couldn't give
16:23
it away at this stage. I'm agreeing with you there it's too it's nearly
16:29
it's too. It's not a pop song, but if you know what I
16:32
mean, it was too pop culture, like Simon Garfunker could have signed that,
16:36
like do you know what I mean? Like exactly you know, don't
16:40
you know if you're listening to this thinking Jesus McBride hates rock and roll kids.
16:42
No, if it comes on the radio while turn it up. No,
16:45
you're right, it does come on the radio. Of all Eurovision songs
16:48
we've ever had, you're most likely to hear rock and roll kids on the
16:51
radio. Absolutely absolutely, like yeah, yeah, yeah, someone's someone's got
16:55
to be in fifth tom right, I'm happy because yeah it is no by
17:00
You're you're too good to be good if you know what I mean, like,
17:03
you're this is your choice. So it has to be a bit chimmy
17:06
and it's not chimay enough exactly. Let me cross a couple of bodies off
17:08
here now Tom. Yeah, ready with that. Okay, so we have
17:12
got four spacess Yeah, fort is right in the middlem Yeah, Forton is
17:18
right in the middle. What do you what ware you blowing with this one?
17:21
I'm sticking Linda Martin in there. You're gonna put in Linda Martin.
17:26
Yeah, she I know, I know what you're saying. But it was
17:30
a it's a bit. It is twee enough. It is twee enough.
17:33
Heral song? What was it? Wow? Look at you. I gotta
17:42
be honest with you, Tom, I I want to place it a little
17:45
bit higher, but I'm not gonna fight on this one. We tend not
17:47
to have rows in the Tom and Jerry Show until the closing segment, but
17:48
we're not gonna have a rye on this one. The reason why I would
17:52
be so high on why me, is because in nineteen ninety two, I
17:56
was eleven years of age. You would have been about the same and it
17:57
was a time when you did watch the revision. Yeah yeah, and damned
18:03
if we didn't win the thing, and that was that was. I won't
18:07
say it's the first time that I saw it won by Ireland, but it
18:10
was one of the first times where I was really yes, oh my lord,
18:12
we want it. The sting of Italian ninety was still yeah, get
18:18
knocked out in nineteen ninety two and we came back and we beat Europe and
18:21
we want it. So I was high on it. But with that being
18:22
said, we've got other songs to go after this, and Whimi is a
18:29
little screechy, it's a little yeah, yeah, I can I can see
18:33
why it would make a good Eurovision song, but because it's got that big
18:36
build up. But yeah, I think that's where it goes for me.
18:40
It goes in there for me. Well, then in third place, Tom,
18:42
I'm going to step in here and say that in third place is in
18:47
your Eyes by Neve Cavana. Now I would have swapped three and four there,
18:49
okay. I you know what, you wouldn't have to break my army
18:52
either on that one, because they're much muchness for me, like why me
18:56
in your eyes? It was like it's actually sounded like like if you actually,
19:00
if you put them into conversation, both those phrases, you know,
19:03
it both sounds like some sort of physical abuse, like why me? I
19:07
was like, why me? In me? In your eyes? That's where
19:11
I'm throwing this do you know, like there's a negative connotation to both of
19:14
those if you can look at it from my lens, like the of Cavana
19:22
is still singing away to that's what was in the Martin for all the hell
19:25
I know the last time. Remember she hit a round with a man on
19:30
the late later, I think that was right. Yeah, yeah, that
19:33
was all Yeah, it was That's what I was. I reckon, that
19:38
was all put on. But yeah, no, we're going to give in
19:41
your eyes. But Cavana in third place. I gotta tell you, this
19:44
is not sticking to the to the list that we know. It's not.
19:48
It's not, But I like how it's fallen. We're going to stab each
19:49
other's heart out over this one. Except maybe here for number two. Yeah,
19:55
I'm going to give you a number two, Tom. Number two is
19:59
the voice by em Or Quinn. Now that was the real sort of and
20:04
I believe the lady herself was ex Clanet, so it was a real sort
20:07
of planet ballad. It was real Irish. She was a gorgeous singer.
20:11
It was a very very Irish song. Again, it was sort of a
20:14
quarrel thing was in the right quarrel. Quarrel quarrel over a big, big
20:22
song, big song. Yeah, and then I mean the toss up between
20:26
the two is of course it. I mean'll get it. We'll get to
20:30
number one, now, we'll get the number four. Anybody that's been listening
20:32
will probably work it out by default. I want to tell you one thing,
20:34
but emor Quinn now and the voice not for nothing. She came along,
20:38
she wanted, that was brilliant, brought the trophy back home. That's
20:41
all very well and good. But here's the thing. She married a man
20:45
from Charack Macross and moved to character Across and they built and renovated the house
20:49
together out the road. And I was working in a builders provider at the
20:52
time, so she would come in all the time, right, So she
20:59
was absolutely gorgeous. Oh right, I thought you were gonna go. And
21:03
she was a wagon tom. You want to see the coming through the door
21:08
when she came. When she came walking through the door, it was like
21:11
glad Real walking through the forest. Right. And I'm here in a like
21:18
And you'd be dealer, staying down the front of your T shirt. Yeah
21:21
yeah, yeahs a hardware shop. It's builder providers. You'd be dealing all
21:25
day with working men all this kind of crack, and then this lady just
21:27
coasts in. I swear she didn't walk. And she come in and go
21:30
like where's door handles? And I look in formal sense, I'd be like,
21:34
you're there. She hands you a little leaf of lambus bread and could
21:38
go take that on your journey, and like I couldn't. I couldn't place
21:41
the lady to begin with, Like is this a pre Internet? You couldn't
21:44
just google what someone looked like. I was like, do I remember her
21:47
from like five years ago? You know what? And I mistakenly thought that
21:52
she was an Olympian. I was like, yeah, she's an olympian.
21:53
Didn't she went like something? No, but she won something and then lo
21:56
and behold it was like she signed the dock up one day EQ and I
22:00
was like, oh my god, that's Quinn Oscar winning the singer I was
22:04
that was popping off. I don't know who, but like, you know,
22:10
to that that might bump that song another couple of points up. But
22:14
the massive crush I had on Emoor Quinn when I was in my mid twenties
22:18
working in the builders Providers, and she would come in and ask me you
22:21
know how much is a bag of cement? Do you know what if free
22:25
they take all this cement in the place. This on me. I'm not
22:27
saying you're you're wrong, or maybe your eyes had rose to the the glasses
22:30
or something, but I tell you one thing. Working in the builders providers
22:33
all day long, and any woman foster the torture. Honestly, she can
22:40
go up a few points. She's probably coming in. She's come probably coming
22:44
in hot, like you know, like a fighter and taking steroids or something.
22:47
You're like, there's something, Jesus, I mean after looking at Gary
22:52
Urse is hanging out all day. Lad's been ignorant as pigs, rooting up
22:56
their nose, big out, fat fingers on them, leaning over the counter,
23:00
smell of fags off. And then all of a sudden, you know,
23:03
somebody who has been on the biggest stage in Europe knows how to carry
23:07
you through the door. And you're like, Jesus Christ so much. Look
23:11
look at this, there's oasis in this this desert. I'm looking at you.
23:18
Remind me of a story. Tom. Now, there was a roofer
23:23
that came to the shop. You've been at all They just just just a
23:26
dude, just roofs, But every now and then he'd ring in and get
23:30
them for whatever. He couldn't leave the side. But will you throw such
23:33
and such into the boot of the car if I send the wife? And
23:34
no problem. Yeah. But he came into me one day and he was
23:37
going to get this and he was going to get that in the other and
23:40
he didn't know whether he had it or not. He goes, tell me
23:41
this much. Now, did my wife get felt here this morning? I
23:45
don't know what you told you? How is your wife ever quit? And
23:48
she she she never sang in the Eurovision? No, yeah, did your
23:55
wife get did my wife get felt here? And I'm like, and he
23:57
came out to give me up to the manager over me. You can't travel
24:02
over that. He's a room? Is he not saying that all the time?
24:04
Hey, he gets a chance to get filter over here. He underappreciated
24:12
Tom. That's what I was in that shop. So listen. That leaves
24:15
us with number one Tom, which you know, not by default. This
24:21
guy I think was my number one all along. It's Johnny Logan making another
24:25
appearance here, but this time withhold me now, Tom nineteen eighty seven again
24:30
I remember him winning it. I remember the glass trophy he got, he
24:33
put it and they sing you get to sing again at the end, and
24:36
he put the trophy down at the edge of the stage and sung again,
24:38
and we seven year old he was watching that, going, he's going to
24:41
kick that over. He's going to kick that damn thing over. I remember
24:45
it so well as a core memory. And you know what, Tom,
24:48
not for nothing? A banger of a song. Yeah, yeah, and
24:52
it did. It worked out to you, whole Eurovision thing. I mean
24:55
I had we had one and two and two opposite places, that would have
24:57
been okay because the a kind of a mystical whistacle, whimsical kind of elf
25:04
like voice to to im er Quinn. But yeah, do you know what,
25:10
because he's one or twice he's mister Eurovision. He wears all white out
25:15
on a random Wednesday night, Thursday night in Dublin, head to toe painter's
25:19
gear and jeans and you know what you're going, Yeah, Johnny, not
25:25
not for not, Tom. I'm gonna tell you this much. Now hold
25:27
me, now, you or I if we had a skin full of pints
25:30
in us, we could do a fairly good rendition on absolutely would, absolutely
25:36
would. I don't think we could hold the microphone steady for the voice,
25:40
So I think that's fair to say. So let's just run through it here
25:42
again because I'm pretty sure there will be some listeners who will have thoughts on
25:45
the matter. That was at number seven or last place, it's all kinds
25:49
of everything. Number six, what's another year? Number five, rock and
25:52
Roll Kids, Number four Linda Martin with why I Mean? Number three in
25:56
your Eyes by a ned of Cavin, Number two The Voice but Lovely iMore
25:59
Quinn, and one with a boat is Johnny Logan will hold me now?
26:03
If you disagree, please let us know about it in comments, comments,
26:11
tell us about it, let us shut us on the street. Have you
26:14
seen us? What I'm most looking forward to is is Will Ferrell going ahead
26:18
and winning this year. He'll surely be out because his wife is I think
26:22
Swedish. That's where the whole Eurovision boss came on with his Movie's On,
26:26
which, by the way, is an underrated comedy. It is I won't
26:30
be watching, but if there are memes and gifts online, I am certain
26:34
to see them. Yeah, yeah, have you seen have you seen his
26:37
movie Your Vision? I did. I enjoyed it immensely. I don't know
26:41
why I watch it again. Yeah, I think yeah, the idea of
26:45
did did little elf people stabbing somebody with a tiny knife with just I don't
26:51
know why. It just got me excited when spoilers for those that haven't seen
26:56
your vision, it wasn't it won't ruin the whole thing. It's very very
27:00
funny. Listen, enough about those lads, Yeah, enough about those lads.
27:04
The time to move on to the next segment of the show. Because
27:07
every now and then there's somebody who really stands out in a week, don't
27:11
you know. It's someone that just does something that puts them one above everybody
27:15
else. And when you're talking about that kind of people, you don't say,
27:17
oh, by the way, have you seen this lad? No,
27:18
Tom, you say have you seen this lab? Now there's that guy.
27:26
I love it because if you imagine pointing your hand, do you know that
27:29
hand? That guy who does the he does the silent kind of tiktoks and
27:32
he just points at like are you joking me? Kind of He just does
27:34
this kind of thing, like when he holds his two hands out like and
27:37
that's exactly that's exactly what you do want to do? You want to go
27:40
ah, yeah, yeah, yeah. When somebody tells you a story and
27:41
you're not trying to out do them, but you want to just help them,
27:44
you know, make continue the conversation and you just go, yeah,
27:48
what have you seen this lad? And there's been a couple of them.
27:52
There's been a couple of them this week and this week. I love this
27:57
one has a special place in our heart, Tom, perhaps your heart in
28:02
this current situation. Tell everybody who've we got here? I love these moves.
28:06
So we haven't been able to nail down his name because there's been a
28:08
few people posting about this. And you know what's even cooler is that his
28:11
name isn't available to be gotten because this guy didn't do this to get famous
28:15
or anything. He was for reasons that will become clear. So essentially,
28:21
it's somewhere in the UK. This chap. He dug out a he owned
28:26
the field. He owned the field next to the canal, dougle the trench
28:29
out out of the canal into his field, creating a shall we say,
28:33
a mini lake inside there, dropped dropped in his barge or sailed his barge
28:37
uput and then filled the trench in behind him. So now he has a
28:41
it's sitting in a body of water and he lives in it. And the
28:45
whole idea was that he can avoid everything in the way of taxes, permission,
28:51
planning, everything. He got away with everything, and he he must
28:55
have worked us out to the fine art because I was reading down through comments
28:57
and stuff. But oh, they'll get him this way and they get him
29:00
that way. And this guy who I think he's actually he's in law,
29:06
commented on it and he was like, he's the guy did a ton of
29:10
research on it. So he didn't need plant informission at all for this at
29:12
all. He didn't need plan at all. You can do a whole planner
29:15
pformasion, right. Yeah, you are free to put a dock on your
29:19
land if it abuts a watercourse. This can be any sort of dock,
29:23
wet or drier, right, So I mean you need to just get the
29:27
clarification of what a dry one even is. So I mean, he's got
29:30
water, so he does need the boat to sit it and does not have
29:33
to be limited to the boundary of the water course itself, so long as
29:37
it is connected or capable of being connected to the water course. So all
29:41
you need to do is to come on and go oh yeah, yeah,
29:44
yeah, you go two seconds, LA's I can dig out that switch again,
29:47
and we're back at your impression of the British cops. There. That's
29:51
it. That's as good. He doesn't have to pay council tax as the
29:53
vessel is a float within his land and does not therefore conform to a fixed
30:00
boat. I mean, like, you know, this is this is the
30:03
kind of thing Tom, like what I would always say in a situation like
30:08
this, if this man can turn his skills to this mischief, imagine what
30:12
he could do if he was president, Like like, genius, genius,
30:19
this is, this is and we don't exactly know. This is just something
30:22
we felt. Nine times out of ten. There's the stuff we fall across
30:25
on Twitter or Instagram or some such. We're like, oh this lad.
30:29
So he's for clarity so that I can wrap my head around this time,
30:33
because I'm I'm I'm very sort of oh but why wouldn't you just kind of
30:37
why would you just pay the house bags? Some people are just not going
30:40
to pay them things. So he's got a barge. He's got a rosy
30:42
and gym barge down the old canal. Yeah, and I guess that like
30:47
if your dock on the canal itself, you got to pay charges and fe
30:49
rental. That was somebody claims to kind of have known of this case.
30:53
And the guy was getting absolutely rinsed. And it's out in the middle of
30:56
nowhere, but he was he had moored and was living in it, and
31:02
then he was getting absolutely fleeced for mooring fees. So his option was to
31:08
buy the field next to it. He owned the field. He owned,
31:12
or bought the field next to it. Now he could have built himself a
31:15
house tom and that left him subject to as you know, you're going through
31:18
yourself probably planningformations. Everybody that shows up on the property wants a tiresand euro
31:25
everybody that everybody wants to piece. He then wants to get the house up.
31:27
You're going to tax you, They're going to do everything. But all
31:30
this man wants is somewhere to live, damn it. And he's happy enough
31:32
living on his rosy and Jim barrs so what is a fellow to do.
31:34
Can't live on the canal, they're going to charge you. Can't build a
31:37
house, they're going to charger. So this man digs his own canal into
31:42
the canal. So he digs like if you can imagine like a mickey of
31:45
a canal coming out the side of the real canal. Yeah, yeah,
31:51
that's exactly. And then it floats, the boat floats the barage up into
31:53
it, yeah, and then seals the trench back up behind him. Yeah.
31:57
So the boat is just sitting in this little lake that's the size of
32:00
the boat. Yeah. Little land, that's what he's sitting in. No
32:04
more than a land bath. Yeah, it's sitting in the land. Bad
32:07
time. He owns it, so nobody can come at him. Friends,
32:12
He's living he's literally living rent free, not just rent free for life,
32:15
but rent free in the minds of the people that are trying to catch them.
32:20
This is the thing. So he doesn't have to pay any more in
32:22
birth and charges because he owns both the land and the docks. So he's
32:25
created a dock in there, so I mean, he ain't gonna charge himself,
32:30
right, So I mean maybe some way to make money. You know,
32:34
here's the thing. I'm gonna love the level the level of rebel freedom
32:37
in that there's just there's there's there's a touch of the rebel in that that
32:42
really talks to Tom and Jerry, famous for the Tom and Jerry Show.
32:45
Ah, here's I gotta, I gotta just a couple of things. Number
32:49
One, he is now in his land bath that is not flowing water.
32:54
That is just so that that thing's gonna be stinking fairly shortly, right Tom,
33:02
I would imagine unless it's a real soggy sort of a land, but
33:06
yeah, I would imagine it'll be stinking, stinking. But look, if
33:09
you wanted, you could always you could always lay a pipe, drop drop
33:15
one of the blue blue blocks that you drop into the system. But yeah,
33:23
standing water will go moldy after a while if it doesn't get to refreshed.
33:27
But then you know, I mean if it is sealed off, I
33:30
mean, heavy amounts of rain will will wash it out too, like you
33:32
know what I mean. It's okay, yeah, I mean like it's a
33:35
it's the it's the midlands of England. So we're not going to say it's
33:37
going to be hurting for for for fresh rain water. Okay. So Legionaire's
33:42
disease notwithstanding, they can't get this man right, No, he don't know
33:45
you can't. It would seem you can't touch him because what are you going
33:50
to hit him for on his land unless they change the law that state,
33:54
it would seem they have to actually change the law which there you know,
33:58
let's be honest, which capable of doing. I mean, like you know,
34:00
plan information and such like. Tom, it's one of these things that
34:02
you're like, oh, geez, we had to get plan of informationon here
34:06
for an extension of the house. And now I appreciate you can't just go
34:08
building whatever you want wherever you want. I appreciate that if you buy a
34:13
property and you want to turn it into ninety flats, but it's a listed
34:19
building and you can't knock it down. And if that building just happens to
34:22
go one fire, ones or the oops must have been kids worn it to
34:25
the ground, and now you can build your ninety apartment block of flats.
34:30
You know, I appreciate that. That's a thing that happens. Tom.
34:34
It de whether we would like it or not, like it's you know,
34:37
and if they can get away with it. I'm not saying anybody's borning then
34:40
these places just so they can build ninety apartments, Tam. But I'm just
34:44
saying that could happen if they can get away with something like that, then
34:47
I will say, let this man away with his little land bath. If
34:51
that. Yeah, but that's that's what that's what you say, Jerry.
34:53
You know you are right in what you're saying, and I have one hundred
34:57
percent agree with you. But the powers that be would not there want to
35:00
let a cheek of light open for your average rebel to even think about doing
35:06
something like that, because once you let that alce. For the want of
35:08
a better phrase, but it's actually not a bad phrase given what we're talking
35:12
about. If you let those flood gates open, there's going to be lads
35:15
building houses that look like chinchillas. Because you're allowed to live inside your pet.
35:21
They're going to do you know what I mean, There's going to be
35:22
all sorts. So they're going to come after him. Unfortunately, I think
35:25
they're going to come after him. You can't have a precedent for these things.
35:29
You can't because but like this is this is the kind of guy I
35:32
feel Tom that would like to me, this is not the only loophole this
35:37
man knows. Like to me, Yeah, to me, this is the
35:40
kind of guy that if he's asked to respond in writing, he'll buy a
35:45
little pair of clippers in legal and shave it into the side of a cow
35:49
and walk it into the courthouse you know what I mean, and say,
35:52
well, you didn't say it had to be on paper, and this is
35:55
legal standing. This cow shaved note. Yeah, you must accept this.
36:01
This is I genuinely want to do that. Now, that was an old
36:06
story. You can you know, I don't know whether it's a park of
36:08
or not. But you can write a check on anything. You don't you
36:12
don't write just a promissory note. That's all it is like. You can
36:15
write it on a brick. You can do whatever you want. And there
36:16
was a chat. I must actually find it and put it up in the
36:20
socials of a guy that shaved a check onto the side of the cow and
36:23
the guy had to accept it. Why am I in it? You know?
36:29
Are you gonna are you going to try to putting that through the old
36:31
machine? Now? Yeah, they cashed the check and then shaved the cow
36:37
so they couldn't be cashed again, shaved them. Fully, we're getting off
36:42
the subject of it here, Tom, But this is not the only this
36:44
house boat man, this houseboat hero, and not for not Tom. I
36:47
just want to say it now, might be a lady. We don't know.
36:50
That's how little we know about this person. There could be a gang
36:52
of lads that are this week's this lad, but they have gotten one over
36:59
on the man. I love. We hear the Tom and Jerry show.
37:00
Don't get mad at that kind of thing. No, no, no,
37:04
no, nothing else. If I if I pint a pint of beer here
37:09
here, here to that man or that person whoever did it, whosoever did
37:15
that, We're gonna if if you haven't seen this story, very little of
37:19
it exists online, as Tom says, bar a couple of tweets and a
37:21
couple of people going like, oh, this lad. So we're going to
37:23
find some of that and we're going to put it up to you. And
37:25
indeed, if you are part of the houseboat community and you're I don't know
37:30
if about anybody who lives in a house boat listening to Tom Jerry, but
37:32
you know what I've come to learn over the years, Tom, you never
37:36
know body who listens to this damn thing. You never know what's interesting too.
37:42
Jerry. We talked about it last week, about doing it, and
37:45
damn near you have to go hunting for this. It was in a couple
37:47
of It wasn't a couple of articles before boom God. I told you the
37:52
first time, the first time I seen this on Twitter, I said it
37:54
to you, go how about this lad for this lad? And when you
37:57
went to click into with the link, it disappeared because clearly you're and I
38:00
got take that down. Well it was. It was even reported in the
38:05
Guardian, and the Guardian deleted it. So you have to ask you question.
38:07
You don't want to be getting fellows like you and me riled up going.
38:10
I'll tell you what I'm gonna do. All right, Okay, you
38:14
know I'm going to have a battleship coming up there. But there you go.
38:16
That's this week's this lad, Tom, And you know what, I
38:21
reckon If we can get through a listing of our favorite Eurovision songs in order
38:27
one to seven without falling out, and I reckon, that's a pretty good
38:30
day. We can get out of this episode without having a route don't stop
38:38
stop you there, there, stop you there. The good weather's around.
38:43
I know we could have got we could have sailed off in our little little
38:46
Rosie and Jim, Tom and Jerry and we could have Yeah, we could
38:50
have saved one foot this way and then one foot that way, because that's
38:52
only the size of the land. But no, what what are we going
38:53
to start a route about? Now? I'm going to start a route about
38:57
shorts Irish men in short particularly because that's all I can really comment on them,
39:01
Like I mean, the Mediterranean people are the litting up people. More
39:06
power to you, but I this shorts phenomenon. We got to hit like
39:09
it got above fifteen degrees in the last two days and it's already everywhere there
39:15
are Varica's veins. The thing is, I don't need to see nice legs.
39:21
I'm just going what's the point, Like, what is the point in
39:23
showing off your eggs? We it goes to show the age of this tom
39:30
Okay, you know what I mean. We used to be in in a
39:31
community of people that the slightest raised sun it was t shirts off. Yeah,
39:36
sun's out guns a t shirts off one around And thankfully now we're in
39:38
our forties and I personally don't pronize with anybody that will just walk down the
39:45
street topless. You know, we're not twenty years of age anymore. We
39:49
tend not to do that. But on occasion when the sun is out we'll
39:51
get the sleeveless tops. That's okay. But we're of an age of people
39:54
at the minute the sun comes out, the shorts come out, okay,
39:59
And I am I don't know, Tom, I'm gonna come a couple of
40:01
ways on this to let you know what side I'm on, But I'm coming
40:06
round to the idea that shorts is a young man's game. I you know,
40:09
I've been out before I was ever young, do you know what I
40:12
mean? Like, I've always been ould and I know there is comfort to
40:15
be had. I know there is I know there's comfort to be had in
40:19
warm weather. But I'm of the staunch belief that there are certain things that
40:23
when you like, you're not a man at twenty six, do you know
40:27
what I mean? You only become a bloke, bloke once you'd turn over
40:31
that the twenty nine mark. I'm marking at about twenty nine, twenty eight
40:36
and a half. That's time to start, you know, buckling your skin,
40:39
getting yeah, getting your shit together somewhat. And I can't. I
40:45
have to live with some discomforts, you know. I look across sometimes I
40:47
look at these scooters, Jerry, and I think I'd like to go on
40:51
one of them. But I know full well because I'm a bloke, I
40:53
cannot ever, ever, ever step on one. It's just not allowed.
40:58
There are certain rules to just be in a blue and unfortunately a little bit
41:00
of discomfort. I e. Many is the time I've been on site and
41:04
I'm thinking maybe cargo shorts with the right idea. But every time I look
41:06
around I see some bloke wearing I'm like, no, you look like a
41:08
dude. Sorry, I gotta, I gotta, I gotta say, here's
41:12
where I'm going to come from. Right, Okay, I'm you're talking right
41:16
now to a former shorts dad. Oh, I know, short, I
41:21
know I am, And I'm amazed that you're actually starting to make out of
41:24
it. And up until recently, I was in shorts, particularly the year
41:30
of the pandemic, to say, twenty twenty into twenty twenty one, I
41:32
was wearing shorts tom exclusively from I was wearing shorts in December. What I
41:38
was wearing shorts rain or shine. Yeah, because if you remember, you
41:43
got to remember these times you were locked up in the house and you weren't
41:45
going anywhere. So I was just laying around the house in shorts and I
41:47
had no dog at the time, so I didn't have to walk the dog.
41:51
So you didn't have to go out for anything. If you went out
41:52
anywhere, you went out for like five minutes at a time. And I
41:57
was like, well, I'm not putting on long trousers. I'm just gonna
41:59
wear the shorts out. And then all of a sudden, you flash forward
42:00
fifteen months and it's like, I haven't worn long trousers in fifteen months.
42:05
But then the lockdowns are all lifting and life is returning to normal, and
42:09
you find yourself in the middle of Blanchestin shopping center wearing shorts in mid November,
42:15
and you say, just have yeah, okay, know this ain't it.
42:19
We got it. We gotta have a ward ourselves. We've got to
42:21
buy some long trousers here. I think I went through like a three week
42:24
period somewhere I don't even know where. I have some sort of I have
42:29
some sort of kneese on it, but I know definitely I went through some
42:32
sort of three two three week period where I thought I'll try the shorts thing.
42:37
I wasn't even the dead at the time, but I'm like, I'll
42:39
do the dead shorts thing for a while that's something just I mean, I
42:45
wore shorts for long enough when I played sports, but that was the time
42:46
and the place of it. Well you wear shit, yeah, I mean,
42:50
like you get more questions if you were wearing jeans on a rugby pitch
42:53
exactly. So for me, maybe I burnt out my I burnt out my
43:00
short's wearing by wearing them for so long during my youth. Maybe there is
43:06
no more start wearing left in the battery, if you know what I mean.
43:07
Like, I've used it all up, and I'm like, well,
43:09
I've been there, done that, and I don't need to show my legs
43:12
to nobody else. Do you know what's very possible here with me as well,
43:15
Tom, It's very possible that I am a shorts person in deep,
43:17
deep denial, like I reckon. You know those stories you hear of like
43:22
super Christian parents that send their kids off to like pray the gayway in some
43:28
conversion camp and the sun, you know, and the sun comes back and
43:34
he's like, yeah, no, I've done the rosary a bunch of times,
43:36
and I'm definitely not gay anymore. That job well done, but secretly
43:38
he's still very gay. I reckon, that's me. I reckon. I'm
43:42
like, oh yeah, no long trousers for me long And I'm just watching
43:45
people walking past the shorts on warm whether I'm like, oh god, now
43:50
you see someone rocking shorts in the public, like, oh god, that
43:52
guy has the right idea. The freedom of blow leg nakedness is low mean
43:59
nakedness. Am I some sort of fundamentalists? So where I'm actually just imparting
44:06
my views on you and you just feel pressurized. But it likes to me
44:10
and what my society has created in that you must like, I'll tell you
44:16
one thing. I'll tell you one thing. Okay, all right, here's
44:20
how I know that I had. While you're telling me, I tell figure
44:25
into it. What shorts these were? I mean, you weren't wearing who's
44:29
your daddy shorts? Now please go no, no, no, no,
44:34
no no, I'll be wearing like cargo shorts with load of not for nothing,
44:36
cargo shorts. Cargo shorts with a load of pockets are deadly because you
44:39
can keep all your things in them. But then if you wear cargo trousers,
44:42
is like what are we doing here? Where are you going that you
44:45
need all them pockets? But cargo shorts I think just fits better regardless of
44:47
which, right. I wore shorts for so long that in my local community
44:52
here, okay, they know me for wearing shorts rain or shine, that
44:57
I've become somewhat of a beacon of the weather or around here. I swear
45:00
I'll be it. And people have said to me, you know, it's
45:02
cold when you're wearing trousers. Jesus right, And I'll be like thanks about
45:07
having having more on shorts than two years. You know, that was that
45:10
was a long time ago. I'm not that guy anymore. And they're like,
45:13
yeah, yeah, that shorts guy. And I'm like, no,
45:15
please, no taking away. I'm not the shorts guy. What's that shorts?
45:17
Okay, yeah, maybe I'll put them on, but there you go.
45:21
Yeah. You know somebody is like addicted to sugar or whatever. They
45:23
wife some nights just hears you like rustling around. You're like, oh god,
45:28
you know anybody else in any other movie, it'd be just you sitting
45:30
in the kitchen floor and your pants just chocolate all over you. But instead
45:34
you'll be just rustling around your cupboard with just a pair of scissors, justers.
45:43
So yeah, So going forward, Tom, I will say this.
45:45
Okay, yeah I might. I might come back to being a shorts person.
45:49
Okay, but there's a couple of lads if you're out there, Okay,
45:52
just listen to us here, please. Okay. Not every outing is
45:57
an out into the beach, and not every outing isn't out into ga game.
46:00
So short accordingly, Okay, like your shorts, Tom, I'm just
46:05
gonna tell you now. They want to touch your knees. Yeah, I
46:08
don't care if it's above knee or below knee, but fabric must be touching
46:13
what you would call a knee basically, if you were having your if you
46:15
were having your cruiseiate limit ligament operated on and they put on that brown iodine
46:21
stuff. Okay, Yeah, the short needs to come to, roughly speaking,
46:25
where that would be applied. All right, that's the metric. Okay,
46:30
that's that's that's right. Okay, let's crack. We see a man
46:34
there, Paul Meskal or local actor because he's only he's a minute man.
46:37
Yeah, he's only up the canal. Maybe he has a boat on.
46:39
That's the only thing I'll say, you know what I mean, that's the
46:43
one thing that kind of wizard me about that TV show. But anyway.
46:45
But but here's the thing, Like you see him going out now and he's
46:47
wearing neels g shorts about the place and every yeah wine flash, yeah yeah,
46:53
and you can tip his flut hanging out the bag of it and it's
46:57
like fashion icon Paul Mescal and like the English press have never seen anything like
47:01
this. Oh my god, what are these shorts? Oh my god,
47:04
it's lads, lads, that's not you. No, no, it's not
47:08
here's the thing, it's not even Paul Mescal. It's not even Paul Meskell,
47:13
like he is throwing on the only clean clothes he has all over to
47:16
go down and get smokes and the paper. Right, that's not you.
47:22
You can't rock up wearing O'Neill's football shorts to a Christen All right, No
47:27
that's not it. There's like you said at the time and the place.
47:30
But you can't. You can't go rocking up and look, I let people
47:36
off with the whole shorts thing. I think it's just because I'm over the
47:38
country. That's all it is. I cannot country with it. That's country
47:44
with an oh for anybody. Yeah, I can't ever picture putting non wellies
47:49
in shorts. Like it's just you know what I mean, And maybe that's
47:52
where it's at. I can't go through I can't go through a high field.
47:55
You will, and you will, I promise you get the ticks stuck
47:59
to your you know what I mean. I can't go tearn through bucking shy
48:04
like you just there's they're so vulnerable. But of course when you live in
48:09
urban environments you can do that. But why you're so vulnerable letting off the
48:14
bottom half of your legs in any country shape maker form, something's going to
48:19
get busted. I wore I wore shorts for a while on building sites.
48:22
What did they get busted? Shins, cuts, like calves, everything off
48:25
concrete blocks. I mean to the point where I'm like, my own pain
48:30
and blood loss was telling me you need to wear full trousers. You work
48:36
on angle grinder with shorts on, and come back and talk to me.
48:38
There you go, There you go. I'll tell you that one from Ritter
48:40
experience. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I've singed off quite a
48:45
bit with angle grinders, and just I think therefore, therefore urban people who
48:51
won't end up bosting themselves. I just feel, And also there's time and
48:54
a place unless you're work in Abercrombia and Fitch. There's a time and a
49:00
place for you have to consider as a man, could I be the boss
49:04
of this place? You will never ever be the boss of this place if
49:07
you wear shorts. I'm sorry, I'm sorry, there's no. But you
49:14
know, on the flip side of that, I feel if you're if you're
49:16
in a senior management position where whatever the hell you want and get away with
49:21
it. It's true. But that's that's that's that's our that's our barometers for
49:24
short. Are you a successful person in your field of expertise? Or are
49:29
you Paul Meskal if not put trousers on? Yeah, yeah, I just
49:36
think you look more. You know you look are you nine years of age?
49:39
Is this the beano? Is this wartime Britain? Trousers? My four
49:46
year old asked me today. He goes, hey, what's the deed?
49:49
Can I start wearing shorts now? I'm like, okay, yeah, of
49:52
course you can. You wear shorts whenever you want. He was like,
49:53
but he genuinely, but you don't wear shorts? It no, son,
49:57
I don't want it was enough for him. Trousers It is that well,
50:02
we did not keep that short, but we did talk about shorts, and
50:06
I'm pretty sure if anybody has any opinions on that, Tom, they can
50:08
let us know. Oh I can think of at least I can think of
50:13
leads that have definitely have an issue what we said. They've got words to
50:16
say about that. So if you want to let us know, first thing
50:19
