The Enthusiasts

Eurgh, pegs, who put this one in the pot (don't answer that, I know it was Lisa), I'm not sure how I can get Enthused about this... Oh hang on, wooden, plastic springy ones, colour co-ordination, I'm suddenly speaking with passion....

Yes, Wayne surprised himself here, and enjoyed talking Pegs with Lisa. Surprisingly we stay (mostly) on subject, with only slight wavering into flipflops and which celebrity Wayne was swimming with this week...

Well as usual we start off with the right subject, including how Neil's wife is the best parker on the planet (Top work Scoidy), but then we veer off rapidly into an important subject...

We're not joking though, the 'Avocado' story does end light-heartedly, but it's an important note to us all about checking ourself. Anyway, have a listen, but not if the phrase 'twisted testicle' causes you any issues....

Regular listeners will know how DELIGHTED Lisa was when this subject arose. She's an absolute genius at spelling, a whizz, you could say an Enthusiast for language....

Ok, sorry, regular listeners will know that's not true. So in our usual style, we say this episode is called 'Spelling' but you can expect the usual wanging, wittering and nonsense of all sorts of subject matter. Expect language FACTS (we have to use capitals here) and the appearance of a cardboard Sarlacc - you'll have to listen for more details there!

Eurgh. We don't have much enthusiasm for this, must have been one of Neil's suggestions, bloody Neil.... Oh, hang on... 80's retro gaming?

Not to be confused with cycling up (hills) a pursuit of the modern (wo)man and a staple activity of most contemporary classrooms. ‘self-initiated play anyone?’

We find our Enthusiasts divided on the subject and  a rare period of silence from Wayne.’ I have nothing to add’ he adds, before adding some great little stories about burning wood.

Neil, proves his upcycling creds by opening our conversation with a musical instrument made from lollipop sticks, then blows our minds with his fruit bowl made from an old washing machine.

YES – we talk 70’s avocado bath room suites, yes we talk bogie carts made out of wood and pram wheels.

We talk about fires, a lot, Wayne’s favoured style of upcycling.

Get listening for some tip top upcycling hacks….

Lisa was mysteriously absent for this one. She offered her apologies very quickly when she knew we were talking Gentleman's Grooming for this episode brought to you by Smooth My Balls (TM)

Topiary. Of your gentleman's garden. Have you heard of the Turf Chopper 3.0? Do you groom? Get some tips from celebrity Enthusiast Ian Wood (inappropriately, Woody, given the subject matter).  We'll also discuss Gentleman's Stiffner (again), and how does the gentleman about town keep his beard looked after

Are you a weirdo cyclist that shaves his legs? Or have you tried Veet Sensitive, on your sensitive bits?

Tune in for tips, and a surprisingly sensible episode, once we lost Neil....

Neil and Wayne talk butties this week as Lisa was off wanging about somewhere or summat (we didn't pay attention).

What's your favourite? What is THE ULTIMATE? What is the King of all Butties?

Toasted? What bread? All these questions answered, with our usual style. As always, we barely scratched the surface of sandwiches, so be prepared for another round (pun absolutely intended)
