Pubcast 1: MiningSeason 2 is gone, as is the old name, ‘Episodes’ is no more… welcome to ‘A Breath of Fresh Beans’. We kick off the rebrand with a short season of ‘specials’ starting with Pubcast 1: Mining.
In this alcohol fuelled episode, recorded in the pub, we discuss:
Goodbye Metal HorseToday is a sad day, its the day we’ve had to say goodbye to the Metal Horse™.
Episode 20: The Face of…In this, the final episode of Series 2, we talk about the things we’d be the face of. In the process we discuss:
Calendar ConversionWay back at the start of the year, when we all excitedly built our, now legendary, lego pouring beans calendars, we all deiscovered the small but important flaw that not all the pages actually fit inside.
At the time I shoved in all those that fit, and the rest went in the luxurious golden box it was delivered in. (Which incidentally, still smells of whatever magic they put into laser printers to make colours stick to paper).
Well at the start of the month, the time came when that initial tranche of pages ran out. Giddy, I opened the gold box and wanged in the rest of the year, only to discover it was too baggy and they all fell out every time I moved the thing.
Modifications were needed, and modifications were made…
The holey-bit was trimmed down by removing two layers of the thin bits, and thus a perfect fit was once again achieved.
Don’t worry though, this being Lego, all the spare bits are safely stored on the back.
They’re all ready to be re-fitted when next years calendar refill-block duly arrives from Chris at Christmas.
Birthdingtons lunchToday I became 36.
Today I had the day off work, and we actually went out! We went out for lunch, do you remember that? I barely do. Being able to go out for lunch.
Well we had to drive all the way to Harrogate to do it because we fancied going to Wagamamas and that was the nearest one that was open, but it was almost, almost, like the before-times.
That, and all the waitresses were dressed as surgeons, and there were screens on the tables, but it was almost like the before-times.
Oh, and you had to pay by using your phone via a website because despite bringing us drinks and food for an hour or so, holding the card machine for us to beep would be just too risky, but it was kind of like the before-times.
Aaaand they only had a limited menu, because… reasons, but it was a bit like the before-times.
OK so it was nothing like the before times, but we had a child free lunch out in a nice restaurant with nice food and the weather was nice.
Today I had a nice day.
Episode 19: Kitchen GadgetsIn a podcast recorded at a point in time when we all clearly had pretty sore throats, we discuss the useless kitchen gadgets we all have in the back of that awkward corner cupboard.
The key points this month are:
Episode 18: Body PartsIan starts us off this month with a cracking question, which we quickly ignore and answer a question a bit like it. We discuss:
