We come to you from Nottingham this week, once again out exploring England, its pubs and hospitals. That doesn’t mean that we keep getting kicked in.

We found ourselves a friendly pub where we were well looked-after by staff and customers alike. Chris beat the landlord at darts, while Dave did card tricks and played guitar. It was a great night out, and it took us most of the next day to be ready to record podcasts.

Here’s Chris, feet well and truly under the table at the pub in Nottingham:

That aside, in this episode we discuss the crazy thing that is a goat, and give advice to people in prison, or hardware shops, or something. I can’t remember.

We’re also joined by Jason Jones and Toby Teatime, daytime TV astrologers.

Here’s a picture of a goat’s eye to save you the bother of looking them up when prompted.

We’ll be back next week with more chat and laughter.

Hello, hope you had a good week. We’re back once again with episode 51 of The Blueprint Podcast, right here in the UK with Chris and Dave.

This week, we get to the heart of the Dave Russell phenomenon by discovering a couple of things that really grind his gears.

We warm up first with some talk of spherical stimulating toys for babies, and an astonishing Chris Fact is revealed, closely followed by a Chris Lie.

Astrology is described by Wikipedia as “a group of systems, traditions, and beliefs in which knowledge of the apparent relative positions of celestial bodies and related details is held to be useful in understanding, interpreting, and organizing information about personality, human affairs, and other terrestrial matters”. It’s described by Dave as “nonsense”, and he pulls no punches with a scathing attack on the whole idea.

If you’re a firm believer in newspaper horoscopes, please have a quiet word with yourself.

Binoculars, or more specifically their misrepresentation in the cinema, are Dave’s second target, although Chris disagrees, and hilarity ensues.

It’s all happening.

We’ll be back with Episode 52 at 5pm (UK Time) on Friday, 31st October. See you then.
