They said we’d never make it, but it’s HERE!
This week Napoleon and I cover of range a topics revolving around the much maligned world of advertising.
Advertising?
MAD-vertising more like it!
We delve into such varies issues as panty-liner reliability, racism in the Um Bongo universe, the joy in showing your Nan some boobs, suspiciously broad regional accents, the fun involved in drinking alcohol, how heroin is ace, the Proustian nostalgia rush involved when you get a whiff of white musk and last, but by no means least, the dubious pleasures of the Yorvik viking experience in York city centre!
It’s a right load of fun!
But don’t just listen here – go over to iTunes and subscribe. And if you’re feeling nice – leave us a comment or a rating there. We’ll send a chicken & mushroom Pot Noodle out to everyone who says something pleasant.*

Really pleasant that – putting Jackson’s recently bereaved daughter onstage shrieking for the cameras as she tries to talk about her dead Dad.
Sick and wrong.
And Simon Cowell got his filthy claws in, getting that singing child on the Jackson tribute.
The world’s gone mad! Or, more accurately, even more callous.
I knew I’d put my foot through the telly if I watched it, so I didn’t. I did catch a bit of the Ronaldo unveiling at Real Madrid, which I imagine was similar, albeit with one fewer dead people.
I didn’t watch it either – just caught some on BBC Breakfast. And they’re about to go on about it again.
I wonder if they did a song about how they all left him to his demons of self-mutilation and unhealthy obsession with childhood – or if they all glossed over the fact they never spoke to him any more, as Brooke Shields appears to be doing now.
G’day!
I didn’t know so many people did not have a loo.
OK…Thanks to the blair the ashes series is not on terrestial…oh and the greed of the ECB. Will have to listen on the radio.
Come on England, c’mon, c’mon,
Come on England come on!
(sung to the tune of “Aussie come on”).
Jill who?
DINLT: I have been hitting F5 on the Guardian OBO since about 7am. But they have now made it auto update!
Pub for a late lunch mind.
4* What do you reckon the team will be?
Bit quiet in ‘ere today, ain’t it?
Plinth..bush..trimming!?
DINLT: not sure if the 2 spinners was a bluff, but with the wet weather that could be worth a try. I’d still put Onions in ahead of Panesar though. Really like to see Bopara make a score too.
Could be a hark back to the times of Emburey and Edmonds.
The new one has got a lot of bubbles (plinth).
DINLT – This plinth thing is showing up the slack-jawed lack of imagination displayed by the average Briton.
We won the toss and we are going to bat!
2 Spinners..no Onions!
DINLT: Blimey! Strauss won toss and will bat. I know you ALWAYS bat but still, soggy Cardiff…
That said, it’s not like an uncovered gluepot is it.
They think it will be a benign pitch and take turn later on in the match. We will see. A good start would be making lunch with no loss.
Ponting was clearly disappointed not to be batting. His “Yeah, we think it might do a bit early on…” sounded somewhat half-hearted
It did didn’t it..!
But, that is what they will be relying on.
Where’s everybody gone
FS – Canada!
Ok I am going to work on my podcast later. I have an idea tell me what you think.
80’s wrestling! Not kidding. Hulk Hogan vs The Ultamate Warrior. The British Bulldog! and so on.
67-2.
Lunch 97-3. We need a century partnership. This is not good enough.
DINLT: Are you on Twitter?
Tea. Much better!
If we can get through to close of play without further loss, then that would be good.
