November 21, 2022 Episode 9. "Stairs up to the Bedrooms"
Hello there Dearest Patrons, listeners and fellow gravity fighters.
It's time for the podcast that's about everything except weightlifting. Merely the backdrop to around an hour of entertaining waffle about topics such as...
Hair pomades, Insulation, Damp Proof Membranes, Homes under the hammer and Dion Dublin's classic "stairs up to the bedrooms" compilation. Rob's confusing relationships with tradesmen always feeling like the final scene of 'The Remains of the Day", the problems of overheating and thermal underwear. Ben Ottewell from the marvellous band Gomez, flannels and microfibre cloths and the first whiff of yuletide knobbiness appearing in comedy gigs to name but a few.
