Episode 73 – Hangovers in Barnsley

Posted on April 3rd, 2009 in Podcast Episodes by chris
 

We greet you this week from some nursing accommodation in a Barnsley hospital, the morning after one of those big nights out where the world becomes your friend and everyone wakes up wondering what day it is and where they are.

We pick our way through the previous evening, and along the way find time for the noble signwriting profession and how it would fit into life in the distant future.

We have to say a very special hello and thanks to John and Patrick, whose 40th birthday party we found ourselves attending in Barnsley. Thanks to you guys, and to your friends and family for making us feel so very welcome, and for letting us have loads of goes on the karaoke and buffet.

Here’s the hospital we recorded this podcast at.

Greetings from Barnsley, one friendly town.

As promised, photos will be uploaded here of the charity tash as it develops.

Many thanks to those who have so far donated or pledged donations by email, hope that you, reader, will sponsor my charity moustache too, and help terminally ill people and their loved ones to enjoy better quality of life.

Episode 63 – Nose Flutes

Bang! Episode 63 is here. In this episode, Dave laments the difficulty of finding musical instruments beginning with the letter N.

WIth the benefit of hindsight and Google, I’ve been able to find out that there are loads of them, albeit obscure ones or ones which may not count. The best one is “Nakers”, which is/are a sort of drum(s), but just might be pronounced “knackers” which would be fantastic.

The Vikings, starring Tony Curtis and Kirk Douglas. Made in 1958 and still as fresh as a daisy, by Odins beard.

We’ll be back again in but a week, so join us then for more Blueprintastic podcasting fun from the United Kingdom.

Episode 54 – Mind Your Language

The theme of Episode 54 is most certainly that of language, and it’s many uses. From Noel Coward’s special way of speaking, through to Ozzy Osbourne’s special way of singing, people certainly find their own ways to use language, and so do we.

Ever keen to embrace the wider world, we make attempts to contact a French podcaster (do you think he likes us?) and we hope to speak to him again soon.

To illustrate the success level of our French escapade, here’s the metaphorical street that we ended up in:

Rue Du Merde

Rue De Merde

We’ll be back next week with more such talk, and more “Who’s The Greatest” fun and frolics.
