Every Day a New Nadir

29 - Donkeys of the Ardennes


Listen Later

Welcome all to an episode delayed due to various life developments, including Pete once again moving to a new city for absolutely no reason. It's also a mash up special as Leigh partakes of the space pipes, leaving him totally unable to reign in the excesses of Pete's nonecdotes. 

Pete gives an early debrief on his life in Bristol, including the fact he seems to be having very little luck on the sex and romance front, given the locals have a far greater choice of prospective lovers. We also hear a lengthy tale of his travels (and travails) across the city at the brisk pace of 12mph via electric scooter. 

Pins and needles onanism, the 'prime of Aaron Bastani's life' and Pete's possible future as a dreadlocked amateur DJ, high on drugs living as part of a polycule are all discussed. 

The episode takes off (or reaches a new nadir, depending on one's view) as Pete waxes lyrical about his Belgian odyssey back in the winter of 2017. Tales of walking donkeys between villages, carting a child around in a wheelbarrow, stealing leaves from a municipality outside Bruges and a sensual fire-side interaction with a mum will astound and bemuse. 

We finish up on a long-awaited update on Flemish politics and the discovery that Japanese style 'love hotels' are becoming a thing in the UK.

Don't do drugs, kids.
