Hello folks. We all three (me, Trev and Andrea) hope you all had lovely Christmases and are about to have lovely New Years. Happy New Year, and a big thank you to all who listen and leave comments either here or on Twitter or Facebook or Talkbolox. We truly appreciate it and we have great fun doing the bloody things.
Here’s number 11. It’s not too long you’ll be glad to know. It may be a bit rough and ready (how would we know?). We raced to a pub in Hammersmith (the Queen’s Head, pub boffins), sat at the back, drank, ate, talked. That’s how it goes. Andrea, our producer, apologises; the sound isn’t up to scratch, some microphone malfunction, but let’s not worry about that. Let’s just laugh in the face of the New Year and raise our glasses to one another.

The boys are too kind. I messed up the sound and ended up being closest to the mic, which is why I sound so bloody loud on this episode. As if I wasn’t loud enough already. Sorreeee!! And Happy New Year all. Thanks so much for listening. Andrea xxx

Thanks Dominic! The main problem on this one was the internal mic working, not the normal external one. Hence it went kind of nuts, levels-wise
. Normally it wouldn’t do that. But I’ll check out that software! A

Simon, I watched ‘Coco avec Chanel’ last night, and was shocked by the actor Benoit Poelvoorde’s likeness to yourself.
I’ve never seen you in a heather tweed suit, riding boots or twiddling a little moustache, but that could be a strong look for you.
