Loremen Podcast - ANNOUNCEMENT: Loremen LIVE AGAIN

Episode Date: October 5, 2022

https://www.cheerfulearful.co.uk/ Come see us LIVE AGAIN! Friday 7th October at 7pm in London's Shepherds Bush region. Don't worry there'll still be a proper episode out tomorrow...

Guys, this is a super secret, swift, broadly advert for our appearance at the Cheerful Earful Podcast Festival on Friday, the 7th of October, 2022. Keep it under your hats. Yes. Although, do tell people and come. Buy tickets and come. Yeah, tell people, tell people. But then keep it on the QT. Yeah, you QT.

What does that mean, QT? Because I've always just thought of it as quiet. Quiet. Quiet, QT. Quiet time. Quiet time? Keeping on the quiet time. That's not grammatical.

Is it like Q-tips? Maybe it's talking about Q-tips. Could be. That's Q-tip. The little cotton buds on a stick. Keep it on a Q-tip. Yeah, because everyone knows you're not supposed to stick them in your ears. Oh, well, we do.

But everyone does. Everyone does. But they just keep it on. But they don't talk about it. They keep it on the Q-tip. You keep it on the download. On the download, which comes from the time when pretty much the only things you could download were illegal. Yeah.

So anything you downloaded would be a secret. Yes, that makes sense. That also makes sense. Wow. We don't really need to do any research. We can just work things out from first principles. Yeah. Once you've eliminated the improbable, everything that I haven't thought of, the only thing that's left,

the one thing that I have thought of, is the truth. I think that, to be honest, I think a lot of people think like that nowadays. Yep, yep. I think Abraham Lincoln said that. Then he did. As far as he knows.

Then he may as well have. Shall I tell the listener a little bit about what inspired the subject that I'm going to talk about? Oh, yeah. On Friday. What, the topic of the live on Friday in London's Shepherd's Bush at 7pm? In London's Shepherd's Bush. If you haven't been, it doesn't look like the name sounds.

No. There's one park and it's very barren. I don't think there's any bushes. There's no shepherds. And there's no sheep, more importantly, I suppose. Crucially, it's utterly sheep free. Yeah. Well, I was in quite a different part of the world this last weekend.

I was in Aberystwyth for the Aberystwyth Comedy Festival. Lots of sheep, lots of shepherds, lots of bushes. Oh, yes. And I also did a gig in Aberystwyth Uni and I made an embarrassing error. Oh, no. In my head. Oh, yes. And I also did a gig in Aberystwyth Uni, and I made an embarrassing error. Oh, no. In my head. Oh, okay. But I'm now going to tell you.

Oh. So, you know the Welsh word for welcome? No. So, the Welsh word for welcome is croeso. Croeso. Croeso. Something like that. Right.

Apologies to the Welsh. It's spelt C-R-O-E-s-o croeso so naturally it's all over the place in wales i went to alberis with uni where they've got a big sign um and some uh outside the building big sign it says croeso then underneath it says welcome that makes perfect sense what i've just described yeah but they've used a very very curly cursive handwriting font oh so like the r is looped up to the o is looped up to the e is looped up to the s is looped up to the o yeah so so i walked into Aberystwyth Uni thinking, why do they have a massive sign that says cheese welcome?

Or is it cheese welcome? Because there was a previous edict that banned cheese. They used to be very intolerant of lactose. Yeah. Now they just want to make it clear that cheese is welcome cheese is welcome come on that's the sort of stuff we should do at the live

so Aberystwyth is a seaside town and I got a the trains were all off so I got a lift back with friend of the show friend of me of the show Chris Cantrell

he drove he drove oh you want to be careful we went through a have you seen the birds all right okay no we went down we went down some posh guy's road that was just so full of pheasants oh really just they were just and they would they were running into in front of the car. It was horrible. We managed not to hit it. Chris was like, that one's got a bad leg.

And he was swerving towards it. Yeah, he was like, I think we can get that off. No, it was awful. He's a real rotter. But I think he tried to bring an alibi in for this on the extras for our podcast. Yes, I've heard that, absolutely. No, so it's true.

He's a master of roadkill we didn't kill anything thankfully and he mentioned that he really likes you oh I thought I'd tell you that he said that because I don't think he would say it to you he would but he'd say it sarcastically it made me think

I was being undermined he said I really like James he said he said I really liked James. He said, he said he really liked you. Oh, that's nice. I, I,

I, I, you know, say a lot of things about him. Yeah, you do. You do say a lot of things about him. Was he saying that?

Was he trying? No, he was just being honest. He just said that he liked him. Was he doing it to sort of, is he sort of pass-agging you and not? Driving a wedge between the lawmen, you think? Did he say like, oh yeah, the pucker's good.

I like James. Oh, yeah, maybe. Maybe I just didn't spot it. I think he's trying to drive a wedge against us. Wedge between us. It's just the flat side of a wedge just pushing it into us. How do you use this wedge? Cheese welcome.

Cheese welcome. If you can get it in go in with the thin bit of the cheese first that's how they did it that's how they did it at Aberystwyth Uni so I think hopefully

the listener can see where I'm going with this we've got a seaside resort and we've got a horrible little man yes yes I'm going to talk

about Mr Punch yeah yeah see how i made that link yeah i'm going to talk about um the traditions of the punch and judy show punch and if you've never heard of punch and judy give it a cursory google but possible yeah i can't tell you and also it's so uh there's just it's like a trigger warning in puppet yeah everything about it is completely inappropriate for everyone i mean i'm i'm surprised it's not racist twist i've got wonderful news for you james yes it it's very racist oh my god okay i think by the time i was seeing punch Punch and Judy in the mid to late 80s, they'd maybe excised some of the racism, but they left in a lot of the other stuff.

They did indeed. So join us on Friday the 7th to hear about that. Oh, I look forward to it. Well, I hope you've enjoyed this quite rambling and oh alienating adverts yeah that's the thing i think it's failing as an advert and it's failing as an episode of a podcast but if you've made it all this what far to this end tell you what actually you know what you can have a discount code off your ticket if you've made it this far. Oh, yeah. If you enter the word Lawfolk at the checkout

from that place that we didn't really give you the address for earlier, Cheerful Earful Podcast Festival, yeah, pop the word Lawfolk in, capital L, capital F, you'll get two quid off. There you go. Well done. You made it.

That's one in the ear for the snore folk. And James, we can't let Chris win. We can't let a wedge be driven between us. No. Otherwise he wins. Ah. How do you protect against wedges?

I'm going to get a big sign that says cheese unopened. No cheese, please.
