Welcome to the Luke and the Pete show. It's Monday, so of course we are in your ears.
We're not talking about your coronavirus. We're not talking about your COVID-19, 20
or any other derivatives. We are talking about living life to the fullest with our heads in collective boxes, recording each other's voices.
How can you live your life to the max while you can't leave your spare room?
Because all you do is make audio programs on your own,
talking to mostly other men down a microphone.
This is how I imagineill would have been uh operating affairs uh while
he was um while we were under under the threat of bombing actually no he didn't do it he used
to go up the roof didn't he show off so he's right off was our churchill so he did he used
to go obviously if you've been to the churchill war rooms he used to address the nation from there
um and yeah everything he needed down there i think but yeah apparently in fact
according to historians in fact according to a book i'm in the middle of reading right now
he used to go against advice and to the to the the detriment of all of his dearest and dearest
mental health he would go up onto the roof and watch the bombings as soon as the air raid siren
started so um weird but obviously he wanted to be a part of it.
Did he think he could probably wave his umbrella and knock a,
I don't know the name of any German, Messerschmitt?
Is that a German plane?
Yes, get in there.
He was going to knock one of them out of the sky.
With his umbrella?
Yeah, just throw his lit cigar into the gas tank.
Yeah.
That would happen in the Arnold Schwarzenegger movie, wouldn't it?
Definitely.
My granddad remembers seeing Spitfires and stuff flying overhead,
fighting against German planes as a nine-year-old boy.
He said it was tremendously exciting at the time.
Tremendously exciting.
Well, I guess it was to a certain extent.
If you're nine, you'd be loving it, wouldn't you? Your parents would probably just tell you everything will be fine.
I think his dad was at war.
Well, I think the word exciting, it's only ever used in one way,
like in a kind of like a gleeful way, but I don't think it should be.
I think it should be used.
I commented, and this comment wasn't taken,
certainly in the spirit it was intended as to kind of contribute,
that I said that being assaulted physically would be exciting,
sensorially.
Sensorially?
Yeah, I know what you mean.
You know, it would be exciting.
It would be awful, but it would also be exciting.
Are we allowed to use that?
I mean, we shouldn't use the word like that
because it's generally accepted that, yes, I'm excited.
But if you are getting attacked or being in a fight
it's exciting isn't it yeah but if i were to say to someone please excuse pete he's getting a little
bit overexcited that's not a good thing is it so it can be used in both ways yeah that's never a
good thing yeah that's never a good thing there are a load of um words that have been co-opted
to mean positive things when the traditional etymology of them wouldn't be like for example incredible normally means oh that was incredible but it can also mean that's not realistic or
or yes something else so but on the point about the uh the second world war and my granddad like
i mean i know that my granddad found it tremendously exciting because he was there
and he told me so yeah it's up to him isn't it really as a nine-year-old
boy you found it tremendously exciting and lots of people could get in touch and go well the thing is
a war is bad and people died i know that but i'm just telling you from a primary source that that
is what he thought as a nine-year-old boy because when you're a nine-year-old boy all you care about
is playing war games and cops and robbers and stuff anyway isn't't it? Yeah. So I guess, I mean, so they had dogfights above them,
explosions and downed planes and crazy stuff.
And we had boglins.
Yeah, not as good.
So another thing my granddad said to me was that he remembers
being encouraged to go out onto the street with the rest
of the residents that weren't away fighting the war.
And as German prisoners of war were being marched through the street,
shouting at them.
Right, okay.
What were they shouting?
Boo.
Yeah, like, ah, German bastards or whatever.
You think you're all special in Vaden, Jersey.
Yeah.
Picking on the little guys.
Unbelievable.
But that book I was referencing there is called
The Splendid and the Vile by Eric Larson.
I've probably mentioned it. But all the days sort of merge into one now.
So I can't remember what I've said and what I haven't, even more than usual.
But it's a very, very good book anyway.
How's your walking?
You do do a little bit of running around, don't you?
You like a little run around, don't you?
Yeah, I've been keeping my distance, but running.
I did a 10K on Saturday, which is good.
It's bloody warm though
I had a really good plan
to get up
about 7
half an hour
in the house
then hit the pavement
for an hour
so I'll be back by
half 8 or whatever
didn't know I'd do that
didn't wake up
until like quarter to 9
on Saturday
so I ended up going
the last
by the time I got myself going
the last sort of 10-15 minutes of my run were very warm
because it was very, very clement on Saturday, wasn't it?
It was very warm, yeah.
I did walk around.
I did the lap, went over to South Bank,
walked to Westminster and then back again,
had a cup of tea, just walking around with a cup of tea.
And I ended up in Leicester Square.
And they've got these new statues out. I think they're going to be there for the next year, I end up in Leicester Square, and they've got these new statues out.
I think they're going to be there for the next year, I think.
On top of the audience, they've got a big bronze, which is also, I guess, a brand, Batman.
Big Batman looking down on Leicester Square like a crime fighter.
You've got a Mary Poppins.
You've also got Mr. Bean is sitting on one of the benches,
which is quite cool.
And I enjoyed the fact that one of the cyclists that was sat next to Mr. Bean
had used Mr. Bean's head to put his helmet on while he ate a sandwich.
And that was a very humorous image for me.
I mean, the thing is, Pete, I mean, I've got a few things to come back on that.
I mean, Mr. Bean, fine.
Keep him away from the pandemic as much as possible.
He's hapless.
He's made of bronze.
Mary Poppins should be doing some kind of address the nation on TV to how to
look after kids better, how to
keep them occupied. And frankly, Bruce
Wayne should be putting his considerable resources
towards fighting this virus.
Yeah, you'd think he'd be in the
Batcave making some bat ventilators,
wouldn't you? Because there's nothing that...
I mean, to me, my problem with the Batman sort of story arc is that...
The Batman.
That's what Joker calls him, the Batman.
That might be what Big Commissioner Gordon calls him as well.
But anyway, all the stuff he's doing where he's sort of going out,
doing low-level street busts, that's just ego stuff for Batman.
He really needs to be focused at the very
top level on organized crime on stuff like um white collar crime the stuff the really big big
ones because he's got the resources he's got the resources and also he's a businessman so he can
follow paper trails he should be working on white collar fraud uh you know, take a more holistic approach to crime fighting.
Oh well.
Master Bruce.
Master Bruce.
Master Bruce.
Master Bruce.
Did you see one of the many things
that I peppered the cigar of WhatsApp with
last week was that pop-bitch story
about Mylon Klass.
I'm obsessed.
Speaking of Leicester Square.
I did see it.
I have a very, very slight piece of history of Mylin Class
in that she used to work in the same building as me
and I was found tremendously pleasant.
What's the beef?
There's no beef.
If no one's familiar with Pop Bitch or Mylin Class,
let's explain those two concepts, entities.
Which one do you want to do?
Mylene, I will do Pop Bitch.
Pop Bitch was a weekly newsletter
containing tittle-tattle and celebrity gossip,
not necessarily to the depths of TMZ,
but certainly would get a little bit spicy at times.
But they always did it with a wry smile and a respect
and a love for the celebrity, the naff celebrity, so to speak,
of British media.
Mile in Class, Luke, please.
Yes, Mile in Class first came to prominence in 2001
as part of the ITV show Popstars.
She won a place on the band and became a member of hearsay did a very
underrated uh single called pure and simple which i bloody enjoyed and i still spin very rarely
but occasionally now they didn't have much success they um they broke up but plot twist alert mining
class turned out to be a classically trained pianist and actually a very good presenter.
So she now does some presenting, I think, on Classic FM.
She does a bit of piano playing as well.
I think she might be a contracted model to Marks & Spencers as well, perhaps.
So good on her.
More power to her.
Unless she's done something unspeakable that I'm unaware of,
in which case I would distance myself from her instantly.
You would cancel her instantly.
Well, she's not done anything abhorrent.
But Popitch, the weekly mail-out, has kind of been doing,
in the lockdown, a daily digest of little bits of celebrity tittle-tattle
and consumer-slash-reader stories about when they'd met a celebrity.
But one of the stories that they made it clear is that she,
or her PR people, but let's face it, probably her,
points out basically lets photographers for the Daily Mail
and probably some other contributors as well,
some other vessels, organs,
lets them know when she's going to be walking into work.
She works in Leicester Square.
Global Radio is one of the few radio stations that don't have the facilities to record remotely,
even though they should really, to be honest,
because you wouldn't exactly say that playing Capital Radio bangers is really a key working situation.
But she clearly tips off paparazzi when she's walking into work
because if you've got the Daily Mail, type in Mylan Class, K-L-A-S-S,
you get what can only be described as a torrent of identical stories
served up every single day where Mylin Class is just walking
through Leicester Square, walking into work, and some poor,
and I am saying poor in this case, poor Daily Mail celebrity staffer
has to write a story about Mylin Class entering the building
in which she works every day to do her classic FM show.
It is amazing.
Type in Mylin Class to the Daily Mail sidebar of shame.
There is a story every single day where Mylene Klass is walking
into Global Radio, 29 Leicester Square, whatever it is,
and it is incredible that a photographer every single day
under lockdown has to go to Leicester Square to take a picture of Mylene Klass.
I mean, you say some poor Daily Mail celebrity staffer,
that's just a copy and paste job if it's the same every day.
It's the same every day, but they've got to vary it up, haven't they?
Otherwise people will notice the Klass clan will be all over it.
But somebody has to take a picture of bloody Mylene Klass every morning
or every afternoon
or whenever she does a show.
Incredible.
Is that what the Mylene Klaas fans call themselves?
The Klaas clan?
I don't know.
I'm thinking if I was going to make a group of followers, that's why I'd call them.
And that's why I'm unpalatable.
You know that a lot of pop stars have like their own um sort of gang don't they name gangs
so for example taylor swift taylor swift are called swifties uh carly ray jepson fans are
called jepsies um i am yeah uh lady gaga's fans are called little monsters uh there's loads of
them so maybe what would yours be donnie's duds donnie's duds donnie's duds yeah be? Donnie's Duds. Donnie's Duds. Donnie's Duds. Yeah.
No, no.
Donnie's Dudes.
Donnie's Dudes.
Yeah.
Hi, dude.
Donnie's Dudes.
So what's your beef here?
Is your beef with, is Mylene, so Mylene is essentially seeding this out and purporting this coverage.
Listen, it's either Mylene, it's Mylene's PR.
Either way, my beef is not with Mylene.
Mylene has a profile she needs to maintain.
I am just questioning why even someone who visits the Daily Mail website
every day needs to see a picture of Mylene clad in different clothes,
entering the same building every time.
I don't know.
Why don't they just do one day where they've got a dressy-up box
and she just gets changed and cut and
reappears with different clothes every time that's what instagrammers do isn't it what they just put
on what they just get so they'll go so they'll go for example so they'll go to for example said
the grand canyon that'll be one trip and what they'll do is they'll take photos at lots of
different angles lots of different spots within said canyon at different times of the day across maybe two or three days with different
weather and different clothes and then make out that it's just part of their lifestyle and they're
at the grand canyon all the time so then they can see those photos maybe five six seven times a year
well that's the hustle back at the old back C. I mean, yeah, that is completely different.
That's cancer.
I'll consider.
The grand cancer.
Got the old big cancer.
Oh, God.
Great news.
Oh, we had a lovely time at the big C.
Yeah.
Oh, it was brilliant.
Looking down into the abyss.
Brilliant.
Ah!
What was that?
I dropped the little F on the big T.
Oh, dear.
A big flask on the little toe.
Nice.
Peter, I concede in retrospect that the Grand Canyon in this was a poor example.
I should probably say something like,
on the terrace of a nice restaurant or something like that.
Thank you.
Better.
I'm having the starter.
I'm taking a photo of the starter.
I'm now popping to the bathroom to change into some new clothes.
Now I'm taking a photo of the main.
Now I'm going to go and change again.
It's that, but it's all the same meal.
That's the trick.
That's how they get you.
Right.
Okay.
I see.
So think about doing it yourself, mate, because I'll tell you what.
I've actually really hit a complete brick wall on my Instagram followers. that i i don't check it that often well this is the thing
i'm not someone who who um who looks at the amount of followers i've got on stuff too often but
we did an instagram live ramble meets with the lovely laura woods last week
and it absolutely exploded the um the of Football Rehabble Daily.
And I looked at my – and it just gave me cause to look at my own.
And I was like, God, I've been on that amount of followers for ages.
I just don't think unless you're very attractive,
I don't think you can really excel on that medium.
Yeah.
Yeah, I don't know what my followers are.
I don't post a lot.
I only post when I've been on holiday and I've taken some pictures and I've farted about with them on the computer.
But, yeah, I like watching people's stories, but, I mean, it's kind of –
Yeah, same.
At this point, under lockdown, and I said we weren't going to talk about lockdown that much,
but, like, it's very samey-samey, isn't it?
People are either just, you know, walking around their house.
An incredibly rich viewpoint from one half of the luke and pete show
there um it's a bit it's a bit so um on the on the um instagram vibe pete are you so so on the on
the photographs you mentioned there you alluded to the idea of some kind of post-production of
your photos is that fair right uh yeah so so there's a there's a tv show called master photographer master of photography
right yeah it's a european show um it's interesting my wife absolutely loves it it's like a favorite
show and i i fell out of love with it after the first season because i've got a huge amount of
beef in principle with the idea that half of the show is them touching up their photos at the end
and making them different changing the colors of things and the exposure what should happen in my humble opinion is they should be
given a film camera and that's it and get out there and do your thing and once you once you
get back to the studio afterwards say you get three reels of film your best shot is what you
go with because that's what photography should be in my opinion yeah well that's the great debate
in uh certainly most uh photographic
disciplines but then you would sort of argue that what if you want to use a leica camera what if you
want to use a sony camera what if you want to use it you know there's different lens um situations
there's different uh what's your policy on reflectors what's your policy on flash what's
your policy on you know there's a million different variables that can change from second to second.
So what exactly are you judging? There was one very, very good example of a, what do you call it?
A photograph competition where a man won a photograph competition.
It was a picture of some kind of like industrial equipment or just maybe just a building.
And the camera lens was pointing upwards
and it sort of made a very tidy sort of circle of sky.
And just at the moment that the guy pressed the shutter,
a big Boeing 747 happened to fly past.
So it was this beautifully framed photo
where this Boeing 747 just happened to be in the it was just beautifully framed photo where this boeing 747 just happened
to be in the hall uh that framed the picture the whole uh the whole thing and um and it turned out
uh and he after a while admitted it that he just put the boeing 747 in therefore it was just a
picture of a building and it was a pretty shitty picture of
a building at that and it was kind of like well yeah that is technically allowed but it's a big
you know that's bullshit man that's a slippery slope i'm not having that i'm not having it
so master photography the show itself is sponsored by canon it used to be sponsored by leica so yeah
look you have to i mean i know people are particular about their photography equipment and everything you have to use what you have to use everyone has
to agree at the start for me it feels like at the start of the show let's get a consensus about the
equipment we're using it's not perfect for everyone but you've got to use it and then you just take
the best photos you can because like that example there you've used to me it's completely ridiculous
I remember someone who used to take photos I used to use i i used to know somebody took photos all the time well into it and they
would be literally taking a photo of say like a forest and then just removing stuff out of the
photo they didn't like i mean that's not what photography is composition is a huge part of it
right so it shouldn't be i don't think it should be allowed you shouldn't you shouldn't be
photoshopping things out of it or coloring things in i mean you great i mean you're basically just grading vignetting uh adjusting the natural
warping of how the lens works because obviously every different every lens has a different warping
effect you know every lens has a different kind of way it processes the image are you using a full
frame camera are you using like a i i don't know anything about cameras at all but oh i've watched
a lot of youtube videos about them good lord i've watched a lot of YouTube videos about them.
Good Lord, I've watched a lot of YouTube videos about them. People taking cameras apart.
You're the man for that.
Never take your camera apart.
No, but you've watched videos of people doing it.
Oh, yeah, hugely.
But, yeah, it's very, very interesting.
But you can, there are certain forensic things you can do
to a camera file that can prove that a picture has been highly modified
or just slightly modified.
Oh, there you're talking.
Love that.
You should be allowed to reframe.
You should be allowed to adjust, not focal distance,
but the natural warping of whatever lens,
whatever camera you're using,
because everyone uses different uh different frames of different lenses but i i do find it very i do find it very therapeutic
uh but yes stupid people do take the absolute piss but it is regarded as if you've taken the
if you've if you've taken a picture you're allowed to do with it whatever you fucking want apparently
yeah i don't like that and on that note peter just give i don't like that i don't fucking like it give me a chance me... I don't like that. I don't fucking like it.
Give me a chance to compose myself.
We'll take a little break and when we come back,
we'll talk about some of the things that our listeners want to talk about.
And click.
We're back.
Every second of this podcast, a picture.
This is the Luke and Pete show and we're back
with your emails
are you going to kick off Luke with one of the dispatches
from the front line of the Luke and Pete show or laps laps laps
I am before I do that
specifically I will give the email
address which is hello at lukeandpeatshow.com
you're very welcome to
contact us there and before I get
into the emails proper I've got a tweet
for you, Peter.
Are you still there?
I've got a tweet for you.
Did you momentarily step outside the box?
I did step outside the box.
There was a...
It's a bit windy here,
and there was a brown paper bag rolling down the road,
and it looked like a dog doing forward rolls,
and I wanted to double-check that it wasn't that.
Excellent. Okay.
So on Twitter, Peter, which is at Luke and Pete show,
Nathan Gisby tweeted us earlier this weekend
and he said, I need your help.
My partner wants me to throw away my box of cables
that I haven't even looked at for two years.
Pete, how do I convince her I need them?
even looked at for two years.
Pete, how do I convince her I need them?
Maybe explain the history of some of the connectors,
how they could come back into fashion, for example.
Give you the example of the animated GIF.
Nobody thought that that would come back into vogue,
but it did, and possibly consider investing in a £60 a month big yellow box
storage solution. So you can either keep them in that, my dear, and spend £60 a month on
them, or we can keep them in the house where it's free.
Yeah, or would you be interested in giving them a good home, Peter?
I don't think I've got room. It ain't my first rodeo. I'm covered in the stuff.
I don't think that it's the right use of a
storage space,
is it? What do you mean?
60 quid a month, just chuck a lot of cables into
a fucking storage space. Honestly,
Mark Haynes, who doesn't live in the biggest
house in the world, because he does an iGate and
it's iGate, Mark Haynes does the
WrestleMe podcast. He
has got a storage facility mainly wrestling memorabilia. It's ridiculous. Yeah, butzer does the WrestleMe podcast. He has got a storage facility
mainly wrestling memorabilia.
It's ridiculous. Yeah, but that's what it's for to me.
That makes me feel fine.
I'm comfortable with that. I can pigeonhole that.
What do you mean? Because it's art.
Yeah, it's an interest. Cables are not an interest.
Cables are something
that facilitate something else.
Cables are not an interest.
No. And this is where the looking p
joins this will be the final show i like the way that you made an emotional you started that um
plan with an emotional appeal to this uh lady who you've never met by saying think about all
the different types of connectors yeah exactly we've uh again, we have never been more disparate.
We've never been more disconnected.
And if leads and wires and cables can teach us anything,
it's that we just need a bit more connectivity to each other right now.
The very fact that you would criticize wires and cables when this very morning or last night
we did a video call
where I connected your network cable
from your Mac to your router.
The very hypocrisy from LiveMirror today.
That's partly true.
The FaceTime call we had,
you definitely did help me with that
and it's very much appreciated.
And the other portion of the FaceTime call
was you watching one of my cats drink from the tap.
Was, yeah.
I mean, I didn't ask for that.
You offered that up.
It's great, though, isn't it?
I had things on.
Nothing will be more entertaining than that.
Don't cats just do that?
They like water?
I mean, they should have their own access to water.
Look, you're a terrible dad.
No, we've got a fountain.
Look at this cat!
Look at this cat eating fish!
Look at this cat eating food! Ha ha! look at this cat eating fish look at this cat eating
food ha ha look at this cat go through the bins he looks really hungry um all right let's do some
emails hello at luke and pete show.com i've got one here from the lovely joe he just says uh hi
luke and pete first time emailer not so long-term listener brackets i've always feared of what you two would
be like without marcus and jim's influence uh well now you know joe um he said i've been binged
listening today so i'm not sure if you've moved on from this topic but two of the worst things
i've done to impress a girl are as follows as a cocky 14 year old i tried to impress a group of
girls from my tutor group during a male PE lesson.
While running laps of the field as a warm-up, the group of boys noticed that a few girls from our year were watching from the adjacent computer rooms.
This is classic stuff.
As a hormonal teenager, I was desperate to impress and decided to 360 one of the large black bins which was scattered across the field as the group of us still running
approached the bin i sprinted forward and tried to jump and spin 360 degrees over it and continue
running towards the watching girls the spin worked rather well but to my eternal shame as my right
leg landed on the grass my left leg was caught inside the three feet bin and i felt ungraciously on my face
with the warm contents of a day's food waste surrounding me it's safe to say my mates were
extremely unhelpful and the group of lads all joined in with the girl's laughter crushing my
ideas of a celebratory makeout before next lesson that's number one um and i like this about joe
because he didn't learn his lesson like the best of us he has not learned his lesson like the guy a week or two ago who jumped off a cliff twice
um uh or jumped into some water to impress girls and hurt himself both times joe would like to
also tell us that as an even cockier 17 year old at a house party his mates and him he said we were
pretty far gone by this time spotted the new girl walking
into our mate's front room this girl had recently switched colleges and like the cliche teenagers we
were we all felt instantly in love with the new blonde girl and started competing against one
another again classic stuff as she walked into the room we were all in the garden and could see her
through a pair of full height french doors we instantly looked across at each other and the five to eight guys started running and pushing
each other to get inside and talk to her all very undignified unfortunately in an attempt to
overtake my rivals i sprinted around them and left towards the left hand window looking to land
confidently in the room and impress the new girl however what i hadn't
noticed or even remembered was that the left door was in fact closed and i sprint i sprinted into a
locked french door i cannot remember how much this hurt i assume the 10 cans of warm carlsberg had
numbed my senses but i do remember the noise which was enough to penetrate the loud music
and cause everyone in the room to stare at the crumpled idiot on the patio outside.
I never managed to even speak to the new girl,
and I withdrew myself from the imaginary competition in embarrassment.
I am still just as clumsy as I was as a teenager,
but I've thankfully matured slightly and now have a fiancé,
which saves me from any further humiliation in this particular field.
All the best, Joe. I would very much like to know how he uh gained a fiance if that's the idea of uh she's
probably the paramedic i mean never i mean on the first one with the tutor group uh girls
the tutor group should be out of bounds uh if we if to the younger listeners. Out of bounds.
They see you at your worst.
They see you every single morning.
So you can't put on a brave, decent face every single morning because there's going to be variables.
You're going to be, they're going to see you when you're at your worst,
when you're at your tiredest.
It's not worth, just don't try and get with anyone from your tutor group.
They're too familiar with your shit.
Yeah, I couldn't make any meaningful relationships with pretty with anyone from your tutor group. They're too familiar with your shit. Yeah, I couldn't go and make any meaningful relationships
with pretty much anyone in my tutor group
because I used to spend the morning in tutor group doing my homework.
Oh, yes, I remember doing that.
That was a race against time, wasn't it?
Yeah, exactly.
I've written the first page and the fifth page,
but where is the rest of the history homework, Mr. Lee?
I don't know.
I don't know, I said.
It must have gone missing somehow.
Aye, aye, aye.
Anything else?
Yeah, go on, Peter.
Go on, sir.
Alexander, Alexander Leonard, rubbery eggs.
Hi, lads.
Been connoisseurs of egg chat.
I thought you two were the right people to send this to.
The lockdown has come the undeniable rise in Zoom chats.
During one of these the other night,
a group of mates and I got on the topic of how to scramble eggs.
The consensus was largely that they should be fluffy and creamy,
in inverted commas.
However, one individual, a dear friend by the name of Paul,
claimed his scrambled eggs were very good
and even went as far as saying he had perfected the art of the egg scramble.
He sent through the attached picture.
Naturally, it sent a wave of disgust and outrage through the Zoom chat.
Essentially, Paul needs to know how bad his scrambled eggs are
and I feel he would listen to your opinion and potential advice on this matter.
We feel his current scrambled eggs look that bad.
They resemble rubbery chicken tikka.
Love the show as always, Alex.
And he has an attached picture.
You don't have access to this email.
I probably should have.
I have.
I'm looking at the picture right now.
Right, right.
I'm going with the Flintstones Fruity Pebble cereal,
the John Cena cereal.
So what he's also done, he's obscured it quite a lot by putting
quite a lot of hp sauce on it as well yeah exactly those those so-called fluffy i mean
it's not fluffy no they don't look like they've come from the same animal no uh each each individual
they look like the sort of thing that gets mined in outback opal hunters uh when they're trying to
find opals but they've just come run into
a lot of limestone so it looks like that remind me of they remind me of when i used to go on holiday
to somerset with my family you used to be able to get um a presentation jar of um confectionery
pebbles so they were made to look like pebbles but they're actually sweets and you get a yellow
colored one that was a lemon-flavored one.
And it looks like what he's done is he has put a load of those
over some poorly toasted wholemeal bread.
Let's be absolutely clear about that.
Covered it with HP sauce.
Put it on a fairly nice presentation plate.
It's a nice plate, yeah.
That looks like the kind of plate.
He's definitely paid more attention to the plate.
It looks like it's been taken straight out of um
one of those display cases that mums in the 80s used to be very fond of yeah it's not yeah
absolutely the kind of plate that your mum would buy that you were never allowed to use
yeah um yeah so i mean it's a poor effort but having said that i've not i mean for me scrambled
eggs are to one's own personal taste and the the slower you cook them, the creamier they are.
But I don't really like them that creamy.
I like to bash them out pretty quick, to be honest.
But I will take very good care to fold and to season and all that good stuff.
I certainly wouldn't overcook them to that extent.
So I'm very sorry of that guy's friend if Alex's friend feels like his scrambled eggs are great.
Maybe they're great for
him but i ain't going near them give me a bowl of cereal when i'm standing over at his house
any day of the week it looks like cereal it does a bit actually very much so thank you very much for
um letting alex um show us your eggs paul yeah i've got a quick email here to round off with peter
um um what have we got here oh yeah it's from jasper who says hi guys
i currently live in barcelona i've been in isolation slash lockdown for 20 days and counting
it is safe to say pete strap yourself in for this i wear jeans inside every day
uh okay did i have a policy on this i forget we both said that wearing jeans in the house was an
abomination didn't we i certainly think that oh yeah yeah needlessly uncomfortable i would say
yeah yeah exactly so yeah i'm back on board yeah good um i like it that sometimes you're so
forgetful you will forget your own sincerely held opinions um as i'm currently locked down by the
spanish government and we aren't even allowed to exercise like everyone back in the uk uh getting
showered and dressed as if i was going to the office every day is the only
way i can save my own sanity and not descend into a jack nicholson in the shining style madness as
i'm working from home every day with multiple video calls to my colleagues it's also nicer on
them that we don't sit in some form of pajamas anyway jeans indoors best jasper that is probably
an exceptional circumstance,
but generally speaking,
everyday life,
you shouldn't really
be sitting around
with jeans on
with the big light on.
That's poor.
It's the summertime.
Maybe think about
wearing linen.
Hmm.
I mean, it's not the summertime.
Caught your flask in,
did we?
You thought I was
going to speak for longer.
