A weekly jaundiced view of life, sometimes serious, sometimes risque always worth a listen. 

    Are you sick of work or sick off work?

    Are you sick of work or sick off work?

    We are a bit 'old school' regarding work and sickness. Whereas if you read certain papers now, more and more people are taking time off work due to stress. Now in no way are we saying that stress is good for you or that it does not exist, but there comes a time when overall we must start to question certain people's motives for using the term, as a way of getting time off work.

    As we discussed on the Podcast, at times we have all experienced problems/issues at or with work, however, see if you agree with us that there are likely two sides to the discussion.

    Whats constitutes Adultery

    Whats constitutes Adultery

    Ah yes, that made your ears prick up! 

    On this subject as long as that was the only thing that did, we should be alright.  On the show, we discussed an article that detailed how many different ways there are now where you could be classed as committing adultery. Being as we are three very wholesome 'luvved up'  passionate 'liars' it appealed to us. 

    Incidentally, we are only kidding about the above of course we aren't all 'luvved up' After all David & John have been married so long that they are awaiting their long service medals.

    Let us know what you think of this bite-sized show.

    Where on earth is my cravat?

    Where on earth is my cravat?

    Do yourself a favour take a look around and notice how people appear to be 'dressed down' rather than dressed up.  It seems that COVID-19 (such a long time ago now) took everyone's sense of style and decided that nowadays you don't need to spend time in front of a mirror before leaving home in the morning. It also appears that the fact that trainers are now called sports shoes, and cost the price of a small country's GDP, people are hoodwinked into thinking they look smart when worn with a suit or something other than sportswear.

    Well, we don't think they look the part and suggest we all start wearing a cravat and possibly a silk jacket or smoking jacket along with a nice pair of brogues.

    Join the Old Gits revolution and change the world for the better.

    Did we get an Oscar?

    Did we get an Oscar?

    Well, it seems if we did someone forgot to invite us to the ceremony.

    We most definitely deserve an award of sorts, although to be fair over the years we have been awarded lots of accolades. Mind you nothing is as highly regarded as an Oscar.  As we say here why or why do the so-called 'luvvies' have to thank everyone who they have ever met in their life for the award? 

    I mean David tells the story of appearing alongside an A-lister in a movie who politely told him to F off. It was in jest but did she mention it when she won an award, you are right no she didn't.

    Anyway, time for our medication whilst you listen to our ramblings. Nurse!!!

    What a shocker, oddly enough love is definitely in the air!

    What a shocker, oddly enough love is definitely in the air!

    It was always the cue for a song, but not at all.  Even we Old Brits have a bit of love in our veins (well one of us anyway).

    Yes at long last Chris has succumbed to John & David constantly reminding him of how wonderful married life 'really' is, (and if you believe that you will believe anything). Meaning of course he is on the verge of being made a truly happily married Old Brit to the lovely Steph, she always seemed such a sensible girl as well. There were more jibes like this as you will find out, although joking apart we as I am sure you do, wish them both the very best for their future together.

    Those wonderful TV journalists with nobody to speak to!

    Those wonderful TV journalists with nobody to speak to!

    Ah yes, that heading caught your attention, but what does it mean?

    We have all watched TV news programmes, when they run several different stories each usually covered by a 'professional journalist'.  Here is the query that we can never understand. Why oh why do the TV companies feel it's important to have the 'professional journalist' outside the respective premises for the story irrespective of whether or not they have someone to speak to? 

    Listen in and see if you agree with us.
