CheapShow - Ep 370: A Good Old Rummage

Episode Date: February 9, 2024

Paul is SO close to finishing his (long in gestation) book this week, so wants to keep this week’s show simple. As a result, he is pulling out his big box of tat and inviting Eli to dive in and pull... out anything of value, of interest or of pure disgust. It’s another real time episode with 60 minutes on the clock to wade through years’ worth of lost and forgotten cheap trinkets. There are odd albums to quickly listen to, pretty far out of date snacks and candies to munch on, a cassette of cartoon tunes to remember, some army rations to mull over and a whole range of weird odds and ends! Chances are, if you sent something to CheapShow over the years, it’s finally time to see if Paul kept hold of it long enough for this episode. Hold on tight, this one is a mad rush to the finish line!

Starting point is 00:00:00 It's all about the number of files for you, isn't it? It's all about the number of files for me. Sometimes I go one, two, three. I'm clicking, I'm clicking. Sometimes I count to five. Five files. One file, it's got all my financial details in. Two, my medical file with all my grumbles and tumbles.
Starting point is 00:00:16 Number three, my love file where I mention all the ladies I have been with intimately and put my fingers in their cunny hole. Number four is my file on food. The food I can eat, the food I can't eat, the food I want to eat and haven't gotten round to yet. Leading on to, if you don't mind me saying so, Mr Silverman, on to my fifth file. My fifth file is all my emotional moments of turbulence.
Starting point is 00:00:38 All my sad moments, I jot them down. And my happy mood. And my happy mood, Mr Silverman. I've got five files, Mr. Silverman. Five files. Is that a better cold open for you, Mr. Silverman? It's weird. It's really weird.
Starting point is 00:00:51 I've got five files, Mr. Silverman. You've got it. You've dredged it from some other media, obviously. Have I? This is my new thing with you. Is it? So if I'm ever witty, you just think, where have I stolen that from? You are a magpie of comic snippets and modes.

Starting point is 00:01:41 They say they're not happy with the way you've been doing the line reading, and that's why you're not getting sent stuff. And they want me to cautiously ask you to step aside and bring someone else in who will fall in line with the Graxton Industries line of thinking and identity. They said all that just now to you? Yeah, in my ears. They said all of that just to you?
Starting point is 00:01:56 Ring, ring, and my phone in my ear. Fine. So I don't want that, though. Then they don't need those samples back, the ones I've got already. Let me ask them. They don't need those? Do you want the samples back? He's got dick mess all over them.

I'll interview next week's, I promise. I promise. Right, anyway, listen. Here's the plan for this week. It's going to be a real-time episode, one hour, and we don't have so much planned as in planned, but I thought we'd do a... Yes, you, with a hand up.
Starting point is 00:08:16 Tales from the dance floor. Yes, you can do it in a minute. Okay. Right, so I've got a box that's been sitting in my fucking flat for ages. Hello, we're in Harrow this week. We could describe it as a bargain bin, couldn't we, Paul? It's a bargain bin. It's a bargain bucket of things that have been left out of the show
Starting point is 00:08:29 because we didn't find a place for them. I lost the details. It didn't fit in with this, that, and the other. We're going to do a rummage episode. It's a rummage bucket. Get your hand. Oh, look, I've got my sleeves up already. He's got his sleeves up.
Starting point is 00:08:39 We're going to be getting our rummaging. I'm ready to get my hands fucking filthy. We're going to get rummaging this week. I'm going to get fucking writing. Writing. Right up and under. Up to our fucking filthy. We're going to get rummaging this week. I'm going to get fucking writing. Writing. Right up and under. Up to our fucking elbows. I'm fucking hell, man.
Starting point is 00:08:48 I can smell the rummage grease. Right, so we're going to rummage through this box and pull out things, and then we're going to put them into piles of nonsense. Oh, no, we're going to have two piles, everybody, at the end of this. Stuff that we're going to just dismiss, and then stuff we like. And then, right at the end... We'll go, oh, that was the best one. We will each pick our own favourite. We will. That's the plan this week ramage episode is a whole new format
Starting point is 00:09:09 everybody don't get out one week when paul is finishing his novel yeah it's the last time this is the last it'll be done this week i have heard that at least six or seven times before i know at least i am literally on the last chapter now why This is why I wanted to say to you, we all believe in you and hope that you finish your book. Everyone. Your publisher, your friend Eli. Right, so with that being said, let Eli now go to your mini Tales from the Dance Floor. Mini? Well, you said to me it was a small one.
Starting point is 00:09:39 I beg your pardon? I hope to, yeah. It's me. What's going on here? I've got a tiny knob oh I suck at the death wow
Starting point is 00:09:47 is he going to hang around all the episode no he was just waiting for his Uber he's had five minutes oh mate five minutes he said
Starting point is 00:09:56 oh mate he said five minutes I go fuck in the back of his car alright okay calm down mate right I'm DJing okay and then I'm doing
Starting point is 00:10:04 the second to last set of the night. And it's a bit of a struggle. Yeah. Just a vibe thing, Paul. There was just a low energy in the whole... Even though it was busy and people seemed to be enjoying themselves, cheering and the band music. It was all pretty...
Starting point is 00:10:17 It just felt just like a struggle. Sometimes it does. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And funnily enough, all of the bar staff were like, oh, it was taking forever for them as well. It wasn't a fun night. It's one of those nights. It was busy.
Starting point is 00:10:30 Busy. It's just that the clientele was so giving this vibe that was just this love. Tired. So that was sort of the background. Right. I was pleased to hear that the sound guy said that the bar staff weren't feeling the vibe. The vibe was off. It wasn't just me.
Starting point is 00:10:43 Fine. You know? Yeah. But I wasn't having a great night no but yeah I'm doing my second to last of four sets I do that's that
Starting point is 00:10:51 right yes do second it's his penultimate my penultimate so the band are about to come on for their last of three sets they do and then you come back on after that and wrap
Starting point is 00:10:58 the half hour but that's like an easy one because it's right at the end yeah you know the less pressure less pressure with about 15 minutes to go of this set yeah the crowd half them leave basically okay off the dance floor before the band thinking and i'm just my morale is already yeah yeah okay so you're in the middle of my set i
Starting point is 00:11:15 don't need this my morale's already kind of low yeah i'm thinking how people are leaving there's not as a dj there's nothing worse than people leaving who have no i agree whilst you're still playing tunes that's the. It's demoralising yes I understand. Really bad and then the band came up and I heard them talking and one of them said oh apparently everyone's leaving because the card machine went down 20 minutes ago
Starting point is 00:11:36 Oh right so no one could spend All the card no one could and that's why but so I thought ah. Don't they take cash? At least it wasn't me. No one has cash and they have to leave leave the venue and go across the street to get the cash out
Starting point is 00:11:48 oh god that's the worst thing that can happen in a pub innit finally enough it cheered me up because I thought at least it wasn't me
Starting point is 00:11:55 who turned them all out yeah no no you've done a good job there in having a passive part to play in that whole story what a long night
Starting point is 00:12:04 well what a I mean it's different from the usual, you know, derogatory. It was, wasn't it? Punching down kind of idea of your usual story. Okay, then what happened was they didn't get to me, the requesters, that time, because I was talking to Jimmy, the sound guy, and he said, because they were these kind of knuckle-dragging type of loud. Right, bruisers, yeah. Not bruisers, just...
Starting point is 00:12:27 Yeah, I'm not listening. They go over to him on the sound booth, and they go, and ask him for a request, because they think he's the DJ. Oh, right. And so they ask him for Amy Winehouse and what have you, and he kept saying, oh, the DJ's up there, point towards me. But they didn't get up.
Starting point is 00:12:40 Yeah, fuck them. They probably lost the motivation. Once the story got out that the card machines weren't working everyone's priority shifted you know anyway what a reasonably mediocre story but at least it was different i'm ready to rummage now paul right i'm gonna press the fucking goddamn clip button yes i'm gonna put a sound effect in and then after that it's a real-time episode so here we go. 3, 2, 1. Start the clock. We're off. Right, I'm getting my hand in.
Starting point is 00:13:12 We're off. Yeah. I mean, you can look. It's not like we have to do a surprise thing. I've got a ring. This is a little jewellery case. Oh, yeah. I know what that is. Do you? I think that was given to
Starting point is 00:13:26 That's actually from Digitizer I think I think it's a prop I stole Is it another mole embryo? No it's not a mole embryo So I've got a little one that might
Starting point is 00:13:35 Do you remember Chegwin? Yes What happened to Chegwin? He's still on my He's very shrivelled now compared to when I first I mean it must look like a raisin at this point
Starting point is 00:13:43 It's worse than that It's a micro toothyothy gnoll bump. You know, you can just flush it. You don't have to keep it. We're not flushing Chegwin. Fuck Chegwin. Fuck all Chegwins. He's dead.
Starting point is 00:13:54 The real Chegwin. Anyway, this is a white leatherette. This is a white leatherette. This is a white leatherette ring case. What leatherette? Fake leather. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 00:14:03 I thought... Okay. That a man in the 70s might present an engagement ring to. Yeah, yeah. Oh, fuck. Can I have this? It doesn't come out the box. It's a joke.
Starting point is 00:14:15 Oh, it's just that. So what it is, is it's a little... A little thing's mooning me. You open the lid, and there's a little bent-over figure pulling a moony. Actually, it could be a goat's egg, couldn't it? And also, what it used to do is when you opened it, it went... The little fart.
Starting point is 00:14:28 But that has long since gone to the land of death. So, the joke there is that you get down on one knee in front of the lady you love and you go, I wish to propose. And you open the box and you show that. And she laughs because she takes it really seriously. I don't understand the use, the case. No, there's no use.
Starting point is 00:14:48 The joke begins and ends with, ha ha ha, you thought you were getting engaged and now you're getting a fart in your face. Yeah, but then... What? Yeah, then what? If you were in that position with someone when they thought, you know, you might propose to them. Yeah, no, you're right.
Starting point is 00:15:01 Isn't it? It's horrible. It's a pointless shitty gag. It doesn't work as a gag. All right, but is it going in the pile? Oh, we need to come up with the name of the pile. Is it a pile of joy or a pile of... I see what you've done now with this.
Starting point is 00:15:14 No, I don't know. It's the bionification. The inshitification and bionification. Of the Cheap Show podcast. It is of the Cheap Show podcast. So is it a pile of shit or is it a pile of hit it's a pile of shit for me
Starting point is 00:15:28 it's a shit for me dog what if we disagree um we'll we'll tickle whoever laughs first wins
Starting point is 00:15:35 no we won't um jock off race I'll tell you what Paul yeah if one of us likes one thing
Starting point is 00:15:42 yeah and the other doesn't yeah that still goes in the pile of hit because we have to decide at the end. Okay, all right.
Starting point is 00:15:46 Personal favourites. All right, yeah, I'll go with that. But in this case, it's in the shit. It's a shit pile. We've started off on the shit note with the bumhole ring case. There's also an addendum. There's a bag here. Oh, addendum, addendum.
Starting point is 00:15:59 That's become your fucking poultice, that word. Addendum, addendum. We all need addendum. I'm going to reach in now. I got money, I spend them. Now play with my hairy addendum. Hairy addendum? Like an appendage.
Starting point is 00:16:13 Like your dick's got like a brush end to it. Like a hoover attachment. It's just got like a bristle at the end. It's got a bristle accessory. It fucking looks like a caveman's prop. It looks like a wired
Starting point is 00:16:23 washing up brush. Right, there's some vinyls here. I'm going to pull them out and see what we've got. We've got Making Whoopie, the Barrel House Mob featuring Tony Harrison and his magic piano. It's just a piano thing. Oh dear.
Starting point is 00:16:40 Look at that. You know what's funny? Because there's a painting illustrating the cover. There's also a photo of Tony Harrison, but he's wearing exactly the same thing. That's so weird. In the photo and the illustration behind it. The illustration makes it look like he looks like Steve. It's actually based on the same photo.
Starting point is 00:16:57 But the drawing looks like Stephen Fry with mumps. It's just terrible. Mate, I tell you what. Hang on. Stick it on the vinyl. We've got a vinyl here. Stick it on. Alright, I'll do it. Fine, you sit down.
Starting point is 00:17:12 And play it. Okay, I can operate that. We're going to capture the audio live, mate, in the podcast. This is the type of record you see in charity shops a hell of a lot, isn't it? It's sort of a party record. I presume this stuff has been sent to us, donated, PO box, all that kind of stuff. Slap it on the vinyl quick
Starting point is 00:17:28 and just drop the needle anywhere on it and see what we get. Well, I'm just looking at the song list here. What have we got? I'm just looking at what would be the most fun. So, side one. California, here I come, I'm sitting on top of the world.
Starting point is 00:17:39 Okay. Oh, it's a quick step. This is a dance record because they've got the type of... The foxtrot or whatever. The type of ballroom dance you would do. This will be a salsa in the two-step style. Well, there are...
Starting point is 00:17:49 There's a foxtrot, a rumba, a cha-cha, a samba, a tango, a gavotte. You don't hear that very much. I don't even know what a gavotte is. A two-step. Right. You heard of a two-step? Yeah. Two-step's also a sort of sub-genre of rare groove sort of soul.
Starting point is 00:18:05 Oh, okay. I'll take your word for it. Two Steps soul, they call it. Right. It's a great thing. It's a mid-tempo. All right. Slap it on quick.
Starting point is 00:18:13 Look. We've got Quick Step, Quick Step, Modern Waltz. Ooh. 55 minutes left. Modern Waltz. All right, that's it. What do you want? What song?
Starting point is 00:18:21 Modern Waltz. Modern Waltz. Sloop John B. That's a song that we all recognise, right? That's the Beach Boys, isn's it. What do you want? What song? Modern Waltz. Modern Waltz. Sloop John B. That's a song that we all recognise, right? That's the Beach Boys, isn't it? Get me to the church on time. Eli. Modern Waltz.
Starting point is 00:18:36 Modern Waltz. What am I meant to do? Modern Waltz. Get me to the church on time. What do I do? What do I do here? That's a great song, isn't it? David Bowie. See, I know songs. I know a song or two. What do I do? What do I do here? That's a great song, isn't it? David Bowie.
Starting point is 00:18:45 See, I know songs. I know a song or two. What's that song called? A Modern Love. Yes. It's where he begins with the talking bit. I can never remember. He goes,
Starting point is 00:18:53 I don't know what I love. I don't know what I want. He was great. I even love his tweet. Never heard of him. Never heard of him. Anyway, go on. Shall we have Sloop John B?
Starting point is 00:19:04 Yeah, stick it on. As I say, stick it on quick. It's pristine, this record. Yeah, go on. Shall we have Sloop John B? Yeah, stick it on. Just, as I say, stick it on quick. This is Christine, this record. Yeah, because no one's ever wanted or needed to play it. Maybe a gift that he gave. It's really quite creepy, the artwork of the photo. Look at it again. Oh, no, no. Put side five, track five of side two on. It's got
Starting point is 00:19:19 Oh, I do like to be beside the seaside when Johnny comes marching home. It's got all those ones. The day, the man who... What tracks do you want? Five, it says. Track five, side two. I don't know what Gavotte is, or Gavotte.
Starting point is 00:19:37 Featuring, I was delighted when David Marcus asked me to review the album, which is the latest from his ever-expanding collection of dancing records, which have the latest from his ever-expanding collection of dancing records which have become popular around the world. This is Carl Alan Award winner, oh no, Flora Miller.
Starting point is 00:19:53 Oh, because... Yeah. Right, go on, play it. Just... Ah, fuck it. No. Oh, it is on quite loud. Oh. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:20:09 It's very Bobby Crushy, isn't it? I quite like this. This is deep, easy listening. This is so lounge. This is so haunted. This is haunted Blackpool Pleasure Beach ballroom. Yeah. Wow.
Starting point is 00:20:27 It's not terrible. I kind of like it. For what it is. So cheesy. But it also sounds like the kind of stuff you hear in a mall in the 1980s. Yeah, it's Muzak. Is this it now? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:20:42 This is the track you requested. I want this. Really? What song is this supposed to be? No, this is Sloop John B you've put on. No, it isn't. It is, because you put Side 1 on. Yeah, it is.
Starting point is 00:21:00 This is Side 2. This is Side... Well, this... Hang on. Well, look, Side 2. No, but... Seaside. Side 1, Sloopy John Bob's. Yeah, it is. This is side two. Well, look, side two. See side.
Starting point is 00:21:07 Side one, Sloopy John Bob's. And on the sloop, John B. I think they put the labels on the wrong side. Because look, you can see that is side two that was playing. Yeah, you're not wrong. Oh, that's unusual. You don't often get that, do we, as a side effect. Okay, let's see if we can get this over with. I just want to get this over with.
Starting point is 00:21:22 Track five, yeah. Yeah, track five. Weird that the song I wanted was the wrong one on the opposite side. So we both got what we want, ladies and gentlemen. That worked out nice. One, two, three, four, five. Five. Here we go.
Starting point is 00:21:34 I just want to hear a little bit of that. Have they slowed it down? Or is this the end of the last track? I think it's the end of the last track. When Irish eyes are smiling, the rows of trolley are modern waltz. It's a modern waltz. So, one, two, three, one.
Starting point is 00:21:50 Modern waltz. I've got herpes. Modern waltz. Oh, fuck. Come on. I'm 51 minutes. He's called Tony Harrison. I just realised. It's very close to Tony Harris, isn't it? Yeah, it does.
Starting point is 00:22:05 Oh, mate, you've got to give this to Biffo. Yeah. You could put Tony Harris to cover with... Ted Danson records. Oh, dear. All together. Oh, I do like to be beside the seaside. Oh, I do like to be beside
Starting point is 00:22:26 the sea. Oh, I do like to stroll along the prom, prom, prom. I get me jobber up and give it a big throb on. Oh, I do like to wank upon
Starting point is 00:22:42 the seaside. Oh, I do like to wank upon the seaside. Oh, I do like to wank upon the sea. Oh, I do like to get my shaft and wiggle it about inside the seaside. My dirty seaman. You kept time quite well there. I'm very good at keeping... I've done the shit. I'm very good at keeping... Up-de-dup-de-dup. I've done the shit, I've wiped it in.
Starting point is 00:23:09 I've gone and done another. I've gone up there and I have cleaned the stairs of all the fragments. And I've got a... Sticky clout. Glory, glory, I have shat them. Nuggets! Glory, glory, I have shat them. Roll bops.
Starting point is 00:23:32 Glory, glory, I have shat them. But there ain't no bog roll left. There we go. Oh, stop. Anyway, does making whoopie go in the hit pile or the shit pile? Hit or shit? Shit. Oh, all right., does making Whoopi go in the hit pile or the shit pile? Hit or shit? Shit. Oh, all right.
Starting point is 00:23:47 You going to hit? I'm not all that bothered, so I'm going to go with you. The cover is really something. Yeah. Or pictures of the things we look at today on the Cheap Show podcast website, thecheapshow.co.uk. Mrs. Mills. Hang on.
Starting point is 00:24:06 Mrs. Mills. there's another record no party is ever complete without a sing-along accompanied preferably by a jingly jangly honky tonk piano their words
Starting point is 00:24:14 not mine well actually Alan J Butler's words this is on the Sound Superb Music for Pleasure music for pleasure were a cheap, very budget record label.
Starting point is 00:24:30 But they did do some Northern Soul comps, and there were interesting things. Isn't that Funny Bones compilation that we've got, with all those weird comedy songs on? Yeah, and I think Sound Superb is obviously a sub-label, or a series. Legitimate or something. Original label.
Starting point is 00:24:45 Well, no, because it's got Mrs. Mills on it, which is literally bottom of the organ barrel. Yes. Bottom of the organ barrel. The old piano organ barrel. As we talked about before, Mrs. Mills sold these albums, banged them out like nobody's business,
Starting point is 00:24:59 sold millions and millions and millions. You know, she was a household name throughout the 70s. Again, this is one of... Pristine. This is incredibly pristine vinyl. I'm thinking I could get quite a lot was a household maid throughout the 70s. Again, this is... Pristine. This is incredibly pristine vinyl. I'm thinking I could get quite a lot of money for that
Starting point is 00:25:08 on Discogs. No, you couldn't. I think I could. I think, very good, plus plus X. She must have put out more records than anybody else. This is, again,
Starting point is 00:25:16 another completely new to me Mrs Mills record. Yeah, I've never seen this one. There's been plenty where you see her, like, drawn in an animated style around a piano in a sing song or on the beach or they cut her head out and see her like drawn in an animated style around a piano in a sing-song or on
Starting point is 00:25:25 the beach or they cut her head out and put her on like animated drawn album covers don't they? Yeah. In that weird
Starting point is 00:25:32 carry-on style. But it's almost like one of those food mascots. Those sort of racist food mascots. What are they called?
Starting point is 00:25:41 Not mascots. No I know what you mean. Like Uncle Ben or something. Yeah that kind of thing. It's almost like she's a sort of trademark.
Starting point is 00:25:49 Like a brand. Yeah. I mean, yeah. Like a brand character. Non-stop honky-tonk party. 25 all-time favourites. I like the piano. They're all multi-keys. That's multi-coloured keys. It's just so generic what she does. And there's no sort of personality to her beyond the fact she's Mrs Mills and plays the piano.
Starting point is 00:26:05 But it's interesting I'm gathering without looking at the internet that she was probably just a woman who worked in a working man's club or something
Starting point is 00:26:14 and was seen by a record producer and went do you want to put some tracks down she was really popular hugely popular she put out 700 LP
Starting point is 00:26:22 I mean it's apocryphal isn't there a rumour that she actually sold more records than the Beatles all in? Yeah. Something like that. But I don't know any of these tracks. Oh, no, I know My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean. I'm just going to put on Sidewinder to see what it sounds like.
Starting point is 00:26:35 Just see what it sounds like. The other thing that's nice about this is the color of it. And also, look at the rainbow piano. I said that. Do you know what is interesting, mate? All titles arranged by Jeff Love. Jeff Love worked with Mrs Mills. Yeah, so Jeff Love also had a range of albums
Starting point is 00:26:52 where he did covers of movies and TV themes and shit, didn't he? I was talking about Jeff Love on... Your radio show on Solo. Yesterday, because I played the Batman theme. Oh, yeah, it's cool, that. The Batman theme is so funky. We'll save that for another episode, I reckon, because I would like to play that.
Starting point is 00:27:06 Astronaut House, Hounslow Road, Felton, Middlesex. That's not too far from here then, is it? Middlesex? Middlesex is the county in North London. Well, not in North London. It used to be... Yeah, it used to be separate. It was abolished.
Starting point is 00:27:19 It disappeared as a county because... They extended the thingamajig. Well, when they did the modern... Not interested. Put it on. The modern boroughs. Modern boroughs. Da-da-da-da.
Starting point is 00:27:31 Modern boroughs. Shut up. Get me to the church. Oh, here we go. Let it play for a bit. Really? This is side two. I've got a big fat arse
Starting point is 00:27:54 and when I walk in the doorway People just put this on when they had friends round and were having them. Or Halloween. Not Halloween. Like New Year's Eve party, I guess. I've got a great big willy I showed it to the dog
Starting point is 00:28:07 He bit it in the half And then it all dropped off And then it all dropped off And then I fed it to the cat And then I fed it to the cat And then I fed it to the cat And then the dog died It doesn't even make sense
Starting point is 00:28:21 The dog died Then I ate the dog And the dog died Then I ate the dog And then I dog died, then I ate the dog. And then I died and I burst out of the stomach of a broccoli stalk. Well, you've ruined it now, haven't you? I eat broccoli, it makes my shit turn green. And when I go to the movies, I look at the silver screen. Good stuff.
Starting point is 00:28:38 And then there's a man and he's got his toucher out. And he does nothing but gives it a big spunky spout The spout, the spout, the spout Stop this. Stop this. This is what it's like for me, Paul. I've got a knob on my I've got a knob on I've got a chub on
Starting point is 00:28:56 I've got a chub lock knob It's going in the shit pile. It certainly is. That's awful. Really annoying music. This is not an album, Eli. Look what it is. It's an addition of the board game Kensington. Yes, it's a Kensington board game. It's in our rummage box today.
Starting point is 00:29:14 Yeah, I've got a copy of this already. But we've mentioned this before, but yes, it's a board game. But every time I ever see it on sale, someone's put it in with the vinyl records. That's because it is designed like a gatefold lp yes same size same you can literally use this sleeve plastic sleeve for a gatefold you could you wouldn't want to though because this is that type of plastic that outgasses if sunlight hits it what's that mean and then you miss up your vinyl
Starting point is 00:29:41 oh right and that's bad because it wilts the paper or whatever. No, no. Actually, you know, have you ever had a vinyl that's misty? It's got the sort of, it's like it's got steam sort of on the surface. Oh, never. No, not really.
Starting point is 00:29:53 And can affect the sound. Right. But, and it's this stuff, this type of plastic, this sort of slightly more hard, you know. Yeah. 43 minutes left, mate.
Starting point is 00:30:02 That. And then they know it works because sometimes in the 60s, Beatles records, for example, would have like a smooth cover. Right. You know, like it's been laminated, like a plastic covering on there. But the back will just be plain cardboard. And then they'd be be a sleeve like this and then only the back
Starting point is 00:30:26 of the record where it's been sitting there the back gets misted up where it hasn't had the protection of that plastic on the back. So what's the best plastic sleeve to have then?
Starting point is 00:30:34 Just not this. Not PVC. Oh, is that PVC? I think so, yeah. Fine. But I guess it's... Polyurethane, which is like the plastic bag stuff.
Starting point is 00:30:41 See through that. Because you can see it's kind of warped a little bit as well, that plastic. It's not. I don't like it. No. I don't like it. No, I don't like it.
Starting point is 00:30:46 But it's fine for Kensington. All of them came in at Kensington. What is Kensington then? It was a game. Look at one. That's a very old school thing. The Design Centre London. I used to go there.
Starting point is 00:30:57 There's a little symbol for the Design Centre London. Why? Is it made by them? Or produced? Or sold there? It's that big place on the corner, isn't it? It's not there anymore. it that it's not there anymore oh it's not there anymore oh i think it's a very 80s whenever designer stuff you didn't
Starting point is 00:31:11 before the 80s nothing was described as a designer this or design it was a very 80s coinage say a designer part of that yuppie yeah absolutely part of that whole thing yeah um and this kind of came along with that they're sort of like hippies these two guys the story is on the back of how they created it and they got inspired
Starting point is 00:31:29 by an existing Indian game I think they were like travellers you know they did the
Starting point is 00:31:35 whole hippie trail and they found an Arabian or Indian game and they
Starting point is 00:31:41 were also influenced by carpets I think like the in general like the carpet the shape of the carpet oh the pattern of the carpet
Starting point is 00:31:51 or the rug or whatever the pattern of Arabic sort of art or yeah and they called it Kensington because they were staying there or something but you've got
Starting point is 00:31:58 I love the photo of the where is that is that the Albert that's the Albert Memorial in Kensington just out the front of the Royal Albert Hall that's right just Albert that's the Albert Memorial in Kensington just out the front of the Royal Albert Hall that's right
Starting point is 00:32:07 just across from the Royal Albert Hall in the park look at the beautiful sky back in the 80s so what kind of game is it like a chess kind of thing or like Go
Starting point is 00:32:15 or something it has things in common with both those but it's more like Go because there's no different all the pieces are exactly the same right
Starting point is 00:32:23 there's no pawns and kings so it looks kind of dull though tell me about it There's no different... All the pieces are exactly the same. Right. There's no pawns and kings. So it looks kind of dull, though. Have a look. It's fun. Kensington is a really fun, fascinating game offering a formidable and potentially victorious challenge to such classic rivals as chess.
Starting point is 00:32:41 Don't you fucking snatch! Backgammon, or even cards, excellent value. Absolutely no attribution to that quote. Yeah, so I don't think it really it didn't catch on as a sort of, what they wanted is for it to catch on as a
Starting point is 00:32:57 Yeah, a minute to learn, a lifetime to master, quick to pick up, slow to put down, capture small shapes to frustrate your opponent. Yes. Construct large shapes to defeat your opponent. Yeah. So that's it. You have to... I'll show you, Paul. Is the game in the game? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:33:14 Oh, yeah. It's all in. That's it. Basically, you can see that there are these... Grids. No, these shapes. What's that? A hexagon. Once you get basically your pieces around any of the white ones or your colour that you've won. You've won the game when you have a piece on each corner. Okay.
Starting point is 00:33:33 You see? So it's like, yeah. It's like Go like that. Okay, all right. Fine. Anyway, I had a different version. There was a luxury version of this, which was the board game on a piece of glass. Oh.
Starting point is 00:33:44 And it was bigger. I've never heard of the glass version of this, which was the board game on a piece of glass. Oh. And it was bigger. I've never heard of the glass version of that. The other thing to mention is I thought for years that that was John Lithgow. He's John Lithgow. The board is strange because on the actual board itself there were just faces. See, that's the glass one that they obviously have there that they took the photo on, on the inside cover. Imagine being that guy. I'd be pissed off.
Starting point is 00:34:01 I'd fucking pose for your photograph. That is a great big pink hexagon right over my face. Who's going to know what's in your fucking game? Anyway. Took a week off work for this. Talking of board games, Paul, did you hear that story about the Chinese chess champion? Uh, no.
Starting point is 00:34:15 Okay, there's this game called Chinese chess, yeah? Right. Which, again, I don't understand. But it's the biggest game in China, sort of. It's popular as chess in China sort of it's like as popular as chess in China give it to me I just don't care it's
Starting point is 00:34:30 going in the shit pile anyway it's not going it's going the good pile for me can I please no all right go on just tell your story about the Chinese champion he was he
Starting point is 00:34:41 was disqualified from a tournament oh no for this guy you caught wanking? No. Disgraceful behaviour or something. Yeah, he was in a hotel room and stuff. He shat in the bath. Yeah, shat in the bath.
Starting point is 00:34:53 But there was also an accusation that he cheated. This is after he won the big tournament. The World Championship or something. That he cheated with anal beads. Yeah, because they vibrated because the computer was doing... But that was also Magnus Magnusson. Yeah. Not Magnus Magnusson,
Starting point is 00:35:07 but Magnusson, who's the world chess champion, one of the best chess people, accused his opponent last year of doing the same thing with anal beads. Because what? There's a computer
Starting point is 00:35:19 running the program off and they're sending in like via an app to the love egg to vibrate to say what move to make next somehow. Yeah. He sits there and goes...
Starting point is 00:35:27 It's probably one. Like, it's Queen 6-4 or something. It wouldn't be exact moves. You'd have sort of, like, two or three prepared openings or responses to openings. I'll give you a prepared opening, yeah. I don't know how you cheat, actually.
Starting point is 00:35:41 There's loads of records in here. We're not going to go through. I mean, there's that one, the Platters, Flanagan and Allen. Can I have a look at them, please? My Fair Lady. No, we haven't got time to just do only records in this box. We're going to move on.

What a life. band had to put the suits on and be the Wombles on top of the pops. What a life. What a weird period as well for music where you can have the Wombles and the goodies in the same fucking charts that week. It's that era, isn't it?

Starting point is 00:46:02 on the blade bit. This is a multi-tool, in case anyone listening is wondering. Yeah, it goes in your wallet. It's flat like a credit card, but it's also a screwdriver. I don't carry a wallet. I know. But that has come in handy when I have mine in my wallet. It is a handy thing. I would say hit. Because it's practical and useful.

Yeah, because I always like having pads around for jotting thoughts and ideas down. It has a picture of what looks like Sherlock Holmes. It looks like Sherlock Holmes. But it says The History Buffet. What does that refer to? I don't understand.
Starting point is 00:46:53 Maybe it's a range of something. And on the back it has a newspaper boy. Oh, I'm Governor. Do you fancy a copy of The Evening Standard, Governor? No. Oh, they'll beat me. Take one. They'll beat me if I come back with any.

You want to come over here and use Piper Boy? Oh, I'll come over there, Standard. This is not Standard where I come from. Paul, you can't bring back... Actually, it's a bit smaller than Standard.

Starting point is 00:47:39 Oh, look. Inflatable vinyl cushion for men with the piles. Or anyone with the piles, I guess. Oh, look. This is like a donut-shaped cushion. It's a donut cushion. I've seen these before on the pages of Vids. Knobby Piles.
Starting point is 00:47:54 Knobby Piles. I know what you mean, but yeah. Is it called Knobby Piles? I don't know. Oh, it smells of that vinyl, doesn't it? Smell that. Smell the vinyl. Smell that.
Starting point is 00:48:03 That is musky vinyl smell. Smells like guttering. Smells like rancid guttering. It's that smell. It's a bit like the smell of those costume shops or the spirit Halloween shop. All those...
Starting point is 00:48:16 Oh, that's... He's put his mouth through the hole and he's putting his... He's making mouth noises. And it looks like... That looks quite freaky. Let me do it. Yeah. I should take a picture of you doing it. No, looks like that looks quite freaky. Let me do it.
Starting point is 00:48:26 Yeah. I should take a picture of you doing it. No, don't take a picture of me. I'm going to take a picture of you doing it. Put your mouth on it. Put my mouth on it.
Starting point is 00:48:33 Yeah, that's sexy. No. Take a picture. Do it again. I'm not fucking doing it. Take one of me. Take one of me. I'll do it.
Starting point is 00:48:40 Some of us, mate, know how to please our audience. He's doing it. Oh, the smell is on my face now. More tongue action. Stare coldly through. Turn your head more towards me. All right.
Starting point is 00:48:56 Yeah. Let's have a look at this. Now, I presume it will do the job fine. That cushion, but it smells... That's a weird picture of me. Yeah. It's weird, isn't it? What?
Starting point is 00:49:09 Oh, I've got cassettes. Loads more cassettes, Paul. Oh, yeah. That's out. The bum cushion's out. Oh, it's out. Over there. I have to take pictures of all this shit.
Starting point is 00:49:18 They're all video games, unfortunately. Oh, Sinclair bollocks. Fuck that. Yeah, they're all video games. Millionaire. Never heard of it. By incentive. I was going to give these to Octavius,
Starting point is 00:49:25 and I just keep forgetting to give them to him. Well, hang on to these then, because that wouldn't be of interest to me. You'd need a ZX Spectrum, would you? Well, some old computer, I'd imagine. Right, what have we else got in the box? But don't they degenerate? Are those going to be unplayable, you think?
Starting point is 00:49:40 Because the tape degenerates. Yeah. No, I mean, I don't know. They should be fine. What's in here? There's a big green bag big green bag oh look it's one of those noodles no look there's a bag of noodles oh we've done that one before because that was the do that that was the video gamer something noodle thing is it and it says energy so this might be a caffeinated one yeah but we've had that we've literally had that no i know but might be... The other one said energy as well.
Starting point is 00:50:06 It definitely did because we talked about it on the show. I remember us talking about it. I think it's just a different flavour of the same thing. No, no. What are you talking about? You don't know what you're talking about, do you? I'm just saying, that pot that you've got there, that particular noodle, the energy. We tried this and we said, why is this being marketed
Starting point is 00:50:22 like an energy drink with the silver? But now, since we've done the Nissin noodle, which have, and they said it's a whole category of energy noodles that they have in Japan, right? So this must be a caffeinated noodle and we didn't even realise it when we tasted it first. Do you see what I'm getting at now? No, exactly. Yes, I get it. But I still think at the time we had that discussion about the fact that was it an actual energy drink or not. I'm going to see if there's anything of interest in this pack of noodles.
Starting point is 00:50:48 Thanks for sending it in. What's he looking at? Oh, look, it's like little jelly. Oh, what the fuck is that? What is that? That costs 30p. What is that? It's little tin.
Starting point is 00:50:57 He's got two little tins. It's got corn oil, sesame oil. Oh, it's got... It's corn oil and sesame oil. What do you use that for? Frying. Have a look. It comes in like a tiny soda can.
Starting point is 00:51:08 It's a tiny soda can. And I don't know what you do with it. Is it for a hot pot or something? It's got corn oil in it. Sesame. I said that. That's the only two ingredients, isn't it? So that's all it is.
Starting point is 00:51:22 Is it like a broth? Is it like you pour it in and you dilute it? Oil is not broth. That's not how you make broth. Do you just drink it? So that's all it is. Is it like a broth? Is it like you pour it in and you dilute it? Oil is not broth. That's not how you make broth. Do you just drink it? No, I think you fry things in it. Crispy taro with tamarind.
Starting point is 00:51:33 Should we try these? I'm going to never... Oh, are they sweet snacks? Oh, yeah, okay. I thought that was a noodle. Yeah, if they're in date, again, we're not Stuart Ashen's channel.
Starting point is 00:51:42 We don't have to eat bad shit on this show. Best before... I bet that's going to be a while ago now, We don't have to eat bad shit on this show. Best before. I bet that's going to be a while ago now, mate. It has to be. Yeah, March of last year. Yeah, fuck it. We're not touching it.
Starting point is 00:51:50 I'm going to taste one. All right, well, you taste them then. You're so desperate for the... It's best before, isn't it? Yeah, but, I mean... Look, people deserve this. All right, you do what you want then. Oh, dear.
Starting point is 00:52:01 That's not a good face. Yeah, regretting it? Because I already know I hate tamarind, so I don't even need to go... Just have a niff-naff on that, mate. The staleness is unbelievable. God, it's like rot. It's on the in-pile for me, mate.
Starting point is 00:52:24 On the rot? That's on the in- for me mate On the rot That's on the in pile for me There's a strong rot to that I can't walk Oh they're little chippies 20 minutes left mate Let's not vomit Oh god don't even try

Starting point is 00:52:49 It only went off last year, and it's best before they're fine. I don't care. I don't like the idea of you eating them. They're actually quite nice. You want to tell the microphone that, or you just want to keep it to yourself? Try one. No. I know I don't like them, and also that smell is way too much to get past for me.
Starting point is 00:53:06 So you've got crispy taro on the outside. Yeah. And then like a tamarind paste on the inside, so they're like a... Well, it's going on the hit pile, because I hate it, but you like it. Like a custard cream. Yeah, okay.
Starting point is 00:53:16 But with taro. No, I'm not a fan. A little mini custard cream. They're very nice, quite jammy. No, I'm not a fan. I'm not interested. They're very crunchy as well, the taro bit. 20 minutes left.
Starting point is 00:53:24 Try one of these. No, I know I won't like it'm not interested. But they're very crunchy as well, the taro bit. 20 minutes left. Try one of these. No! No, I won't like it. It's got a coconut sort of flavour. What else is in that bag? Any other noodles? That might be my favourite thing all day. Really?

Starting point is 00:54:21 I'm not in the mood for this shit. Please, just try this. These are fine. These are pretzel pieces. Yeah, they're probably fine. They are overwhelmingly pickly. They do have a pickle, sort of almost like a dill.
Starting point is 00:54:36 Okay, that's fine. That doesn't taste off, actually. No, it doesn't. It doesn't even taste stale, does it? No, that's alright. It's hard for a pretzel piece to be stale, because they're hard. Yeah. They'd go soft. If they went soft, then you'd... Oh, Paul.
