Podcast 82 show notes
Added 2021-11-08 10:05:21 +0000 UTCSorry these notes are late. We were knackered after the weekend's live show adventures. Anyway, here we are now. In pictures we have prime Madchester era Happy Mondays (shoes sadly not visible), David Bowie doing a big jump in a long coat, the kind of 1960s clad chimney Jonny would like to have, the infamous Hulme crescents, the Cumbernauld shopping centre, the Hollywood sign in 1978 when it was totally knackered, Richard against the backdrop of Manchester during the pod recording, that Citroen-style hotel table foot, and Jonny with his digital watches. Now for some linky links...

Comments
Apropos of nothing, but (Johnny will know), I have started a petition for Smith(y) to be considered as a voice talent for the Forza Horizon motor-spowtz(ah) simulator game series off the back of an instagram story he posted earlier today. Please vote! https://chng.it/2tRcWkJP5r

2021-11-11 13:58:51 +0000 UTCWatching Megan made made me mad. Then musicless dancing made me happy again :). This was clearly a calculated move by Brundle to let the pony look like the jackass she is.

2021-11-10 12:56:18 +0000 UTCThe below picture is from a short cruise with three DeLoreans and a Bricklin SV-1 (for some reason, all the Bricklin owners around here also have DMC-12s). DeLoreans drive just fine if you fix a few things, and you'd have to be in a Countach to get more attention. We drove in convoy for a bit and every onlooker absolutely lost their minds, otsot. https://i.imgur.com/2CuYdJg.jpg

2021-11-09 22:46:42 +0000 UTCOn the Brutalist architecture side of things, I picked this book up from a shop in London a few years back. https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/099319110X/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_G7VBHJN1EM354RBWWQJR Amazed/surprised to see there is a volume 2!

2021-11-09 21:56:20 +0000 UTCI seriously need to stop listening to this show while I walk my dog at lunch. My neighbors must think I'm insane, visibly giggling to myself as I walk by. What they don't know is the hilarity of hearing the nude exercising bit 😂 Never thought I'd hear the phrase "flesh accordion", but here we are!

2021-11-09 18:26:05 +0000 UTCProperly funny episode of the pod chaps, nearly left the M5 prematurely due to the burpee content!
Richard Adams
2021-11-09 17:27:26 +0000 UTCLove the silent Daddy Cool too... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yTZzfdDfsuQ

2021-11-09 14:05:48 +0000 UTCJagger never could dance.
Peter Heamon
2021-11-09 13:34:26 +0000 UTCThanks for another excellent episode, listened to whilst on my daily walk in very quiet rural France, the ducks where flying away at the volume of my laughter! Looking forward to the Mrs Smith and Mrs Porter edition!
Steve Morton
2021-11-09 12:29:59 +0000 UTCMe too, although not in Somerset

2021-11-08 20:21:39 +0000 UTC90's footwear- had to be Rockports. Or as we hilariously renamed them, Stockports.
Miles Berry
2021-11-08 18:16:46 +0000 UTCIt's the Hilton behind the GMEX. In that big and weirdly narrow tower.

2021-11-08 17:21:31 +0000 UTCInteresting hypermileing race here between BA and Virgin starting right now - https://imgur.com/a/FOdBsWP - “BA and Virgin Atlantic have synchronised flights out of Heathrow to mark the end of a US travel ban. Shai Weiss, Virgin Atlantic CEO says the race to JFK is not about who arrives first but rather about arriving with the most efficient use of fuel.”

2021-11-08 15:44:50 +0000 UTC“Mitch Pubecannon” Thank you
Richard Major
2021-11-08 15:44:18 +0000 UTCIt is. There’s the occasional sad tweet that you see reflecting on its better days.
Ant Brown
2021-11-08 15:21:14 +0000 UTCSpeaking of brutalist concrete buildings - Is the tower (which used to be a restaurant from memory) at Forton Services still there?
Martin Mees
2021-11-08 14:05:54 +0000 UTCThanks chaps. I nearly crashed my car into a rural Somerset hedge on my way home from work due to crying with laughter about the middle-aged bagpipes-out exercises.
Martin Mees
2021-11-08 14:03:56 +0000 UTCI was thinking the Macdonald - stayed there once and had a lovely view of the trains at Piccadilly
Ed Storer
2021-11-08 12:09:39 +0000 UTCThanks for suggesting that. There is some absolute gold there.
Ben Fitch
2021-11-08 11:53:38 +0000 UTCIdeal timing as I'm part way through my Monday re-listen. Seeing those old concrete buildings being power washed and brought back to their original glory (if you think they ever looked good) is pretty satisfying.

2021-11-08 11:19:51 +0000 UTCMy other half’s Nan lives in a very 60s house. Also fitted with the period correct coloured bathroom. 😂😂
Sam Holland
2021-11-08 10:43:44 +0000 UTCthat's not Hotel Indigo is it? The windows are vey familiar!
Helen Morris
2021-11-08 10:35:51 +0000 UTCI just had a look, and you're right - it certainly didn't disappoint!
James Dilkes
2021-11-08 10:25:34 +0000 UTCThe comments section under that DJ Khaled guitar massacre are a delight, thoroughly recommend a flick through.
Stu Morris
2021-11-08 10:16:59 +0000 UTCWhy is that bloke sniffing his fingers 🤔🤢
Rup (FastAsFunk)
2021-11-08 10:09:24 +0000 UTCI thought the Casio with the snapped strap would be a W86! Those straps are rubbish. I have a W86 on a grey/black striped NATO from WatchObsession that I'm very pleased with.
