Paul 0:28

Welcome to the Post Pavilion Podcast. Two mates, a couple of microphones, and absolutely no plan. We chat everyday life, how we became friends, and things that amuse us far more than anything probably should. And tell you what, there's a lot of pointless guff on the way. Listen back to previous episodes to find out what the true meaning of guff is. Welcome to the Post Pavilion Podcast.

Playing all the biggest shower anthems from power ballads to guilty pleasures. Shower FM, making every bathroom a sold-out concert. Welcome to the Post Pavilion Podcast with me, Chris Morley. And me, Paul Gilbert. Well, welcome to a very special episode.

Paul 1:21

Yes, we're doing a whole episode of what gets on your touch. We are. Why are we doing this, by the way?

Chris 1:27

Do you know what? We've had quite a few in recently. And do you know what? It's so much easier if we just do a, I don't know, do a little collaboration of some of uh some of the ones that have been sent in, because we've got lots to get through. Because we only do one or two during a normal episode.

Paul 1:42

Yeah, and also it is our favourite uh part of our podcast. Yes. And we are actually, if you listen to the last episode, we're recording this straight after the last one we just did, because you're going away on holidays.

Chris 1:54

Because we're we're on holidays. So and also this is a good episode for those that fancy having a little bit of a moan as well, isn't it?

Paul 2:00

We all love moaning. So this is what gets on your touch. Touch. Oh what gets on your touch? Let me try that again. Go on. This is what gets on your touch, the special.

Post Pavillion Podcast Theme Tune 2:12

Post pavilion podcast.

Paul 2:39

Still one of my favourite jingles.

Chris 2:40

Still a good jingle. I do like it. I like it too.

Paul 2:43

Anyway, should we crack on with what gets on your tucks? What people have sent in.

Chris 2:47

Uh right then. First up, uh good morning.

Paul 2:50

I was gonna say good morning. Good morning. We can do, they might be listening to it in the morning.

Chris 2:53

Good afternoon, good evening.

Paul 2:55

Good night.

Chris 2:55

Uh high goes to Simon. He says, uh, people who don't use the tongs at Little Bakery, they just use their ping fingers to pick stuff up with. Right, that's from that. I I'm sort of w right, there's two things on this. I'm sort of on the fence here because not like you to be on the fence. No, I mean to be on the fence. Now, the tongs uh are there for a reason. They're to pick up the items to stick in the bag. Granted, it's not very easy to pick up the uh the bakery items with those tongs, is it, sometimes?

Paul 3:27

Right, but I okay, I'll let you finish and then I'll throw my 10 pen as well.

Chris 3:30

So uh I I and also it's a bit of a it's quite difficult to try and get the items into the paper bag itself. So you end up sort of flapping the paper bag, yeah, trying to hold the donut in the other and trying to put it in the small bag. Right. So and I'm thinking, well, actually, it is my item, so what's the issue with picking the item up and putting it in my bag? Because there's been loads of people that have put their hands on the tongs. So that do you know what? Those are my thoughts exactly.

Paul 4:02

I I I'm not sounding like a snob here, but I don't really shop in little. It's very nice, actually. I should do, because there is one in my home time. Do you know what I do like the middle aisle, but um I when I've been to other places, that's my thing with the tongues. So if I let's say I was trying to pick up a jam donut, yeah, but someone has taken them tongs and picked up a pepperoni pizza slice and then put the tongs back, then I've got Ah, but this is a good thing about Lidl is that the tongs are for the items because they're on a little pulley thing.

Chris 4:35

Oh, so they're chains. So they they're chains. You can't pick up you can pick a couple of items up, but they're normally in the cake section anyway.

Paul 4:42

Right. I'm think I feel like I'm trying to find the positive of this. Um I don't see an issue. And I actually, when you're talking about oh, so his point is even though the tongs are chained, people are not using the tongs to do that. Exactly. They're just using their grubby hands to pick up the. But if I'm just picking up a jam donut, I can literally just pick it up and put it in my bag.

Chris 5:03

Which is for yourself. Now, if I'm in a bit of a rush, I will do that because I spend about five minutes trying to get the tongs and pick up a baguette at the same time. It's impossible.

Paul 5:12

Right, okay. Well then I I I'm gonna say in this instance, I I can see how that would be annoying. Yeah. Uh I'm with Simon on that. But thank you, Simon, for getting in touch. I do like that. Anyway, on the we're we're stepping it up. We're getting it, we're getting an angle on um uh technology. Yes. And we've actually got people that have voice noted us. We have their tuts.

Chris 5:37

Exactly. So uh so thank you for those that have sent in via voice notes. Oh nice. First up, we have Amy. This is her tut.

Guest 5:47

Hello, it's Amy, and today, this week, has really annoyed me when people are saying how hot they are, but they're wearing jeans. Love the podcast. Bye.

Chris 5:55

Thanks, Amy. Thanks, Amy. As uh I'm I do know what I'm with her. I'm with her on this. Yeah.

Paul 6:01

Right, people are moaning too much about heat waves. We spoke about that on our last episode. Don't like it, go abroad. Yeah, like stop moaning. Like, I've done nothing but wear shorts and white socks the entire time.

Chris 6:12

I I like it.

Paul 6:13

I can't remember the last time I wore a pair of trousers.

Chris 6:15

For fast forward, in about six months, we will be complaining it's freezing.

Paul 6:19

Here's a question for you. Do you what is your favourite season?

Chris 6:23

Uh probably spring. I think it's because things are starting to happen, aren't they? The leaves are growing on the trees, it's starting to get a bit lighter at night, um, a bit warmer. I love it. Oh, okay. I'm an autumn kind of thing. Oh, yeah. You want to do?

Paul 6:38

It's like in the middle of cold and warm. It's like, you know, yeah, I'm not too cold, I'm not too warm, but I could just walk around in a hoodie.

Chris 6:46

And it's a nice little run up to Christmas.

Paul 6:49

Yeah.

Chris 6:50

But January's bleak. I've got quite a bit.

Paul 6:53

You say January's bleak. No, it is, isn't it? I my birthday's in January, and I always feel depressed about my birthday because no one cares about it. Because my birthday's on January. No, you do care about it, but you feel like at times you just go, it's my birthday, it's in the winter, we've had Christmas, we've had New Year, and then no one cares.

Chris 7:12

Well, the thing is, it's so close to New Year, so a lot of people have sort of probably hung over from New Year, aren't they?

Paul 7:17

Yeah, exactly. So, but I like the autumn because I can wear a nice pair of chinos, uh, a hoodie, and I'm just just right. Spring sometimes can be a bit warm, summer, a bit warm. But I do love the sp summer though. I don't know. Whoever's wearing jeans in this time of year, in this massive heat wave we're having, yeah, like go go to a mirror, have a good look at yourself, and then go jump off a cliff. Take your jeans off.

Chris 7:46

I saw somebody with a coat on, and I was like, it's 29 degrees, man. Take it off.

Paul 7:52

Take your jacket off. I I two things here. One, I can't remember the last time I wore a pair of trousers, and the last time I wore a coat, and the last time I put a hoodie on. Oh, it's nice feeling, it's nice, innit? It's made touring packing really easy. Because literally, three pairs of shorts, four t-shirts, four pants.

Chris 8:08

And this is me, this is me being old. It's easy with the washing, innit? Things things dry clo um cheap.

Paul 8:15

You literally are turning into a grumpy old man. I'm not being grumpy, I'm just saying. No, you've just got yeah, it's helping me when we're cleaning. Like washing your clothes is such a negative.

Chris 8:24

Uh no, I've got one. This is from uh when I've been watching the football over the World Cup. Uh people who clap at the TV when watching the footy, and then I was in a room full of Scottish and Irish people. Um, this is when you're on the cruise ship and you watch the England game, yeah. And uh and there was a lot of people booing England. And I'm like, I know I get it that Scotland are not in the World Cup anymore, but we didn't boo Scotland. We were cheering them on.

Paul 8:50

That's that's circumstantial, mate. But I was Right, the circumstances behind that is the fact that Scotland were in the World Cup, but then they got knocked out at Group Stage. Yes. So they're no longer in the World Cup. Yes. England are still in there. But I don't get why you're so offended by it.

Chris 9:07

Look, if they were from say, for example, uh, I think the match I was watching was against Norway. If you were Norwegian and you were booing England, I completely get it. Right. But you're not you don't support Norway. You only support Norway because England are playing them.

Paul 9:21

Yeah.

Chris 9:21

And we'd never boo your country. But we would. Would we? Yes. If you saw Scotland in the final, would you boo them?

Paul 9:28

Pro in the final is probably a different ball game. Well, there you go. I think in the finals. I've answered my own question. But no, you haven't, because I think that this is what I think about um football in general. If you care about the World Cup, you care about the World Cup. But like, like it's the whole point of the game.

Chris 9:46

Yeah, I know, but just like don't watch it. If you're gonna boo it, yeah, but go home.

Paul 9:51

But this only ever happens if you're in a room that's dominated by Scottish and Irish. So I can imagine when you were on the cruise ship watching the game, you were a minority of English fans against Scottish and Irish.

Chris 10:05

I imagine it's a bit like going to watch uh a Man United game.

Paul 10:09

Right.

Chris 10:10

You support Liverpool, but you're you're hoping that and they're playing against Arsenal and you're cheering on Arsenal to beat Man United.

Paul 10:18

Yeah, of course you are, it's the same thing. But that's the joys of sport. As long as people don't take it too far and suddenly start rioting and fighting and stuff, then I'm all for it. But I'm all for a bit of banter.

Chris 10:28

I know, but it's I still. That's like me.

Paul 10:31

So I'm a Derby County fan. If I'm gonna go and let's say Nottingham Forest are in the final against Birmingham City, yeah, on that day, because I hate Nottingham Forest, I will be supporting Birmingham City.

Chris 10:42

I don't mind you support, but just don't make you don't need to know. Yeah, but you get so offended by it for no reason.

Paul 10:49

We're not aiming it at you, Chris Morley.

Chris 10:50

I know, but we're having a good time, like the atmosphere.

Paul 10:52

Yeah, but so are they? Let them boot it, all adds to it. Because at the end of the day, we did win that game. We did. So then you stood up and cheered, and all the Scottish Yaries show up. They did actually, to be fair. Yeah, actually.

Chris 11:03

Laughed in their face, joke was on them.

Paul 11:04

Yeah, he you laugh lasts laughed longest. That's right. I don't know, but it sounds good. Yeah, I like it. Right, so yeah, I'm I'm with you on that. Um anything else, what we got? Uh oh yes, we've got one from Tim who's messaging from Verwood. Uh, people clapping when the plane lands. I mean, I don't clap when the train driver gets to every station. He's got such a good point.

Chris 11:27

Now I think this is just an English thing, isn't it?

Paul 11:30

Uh yes.

Chris 11:31

It's good uh we were talking about this when I was flying back because I had to fly long story short, I had to fly from Italy to Germany.

Paul 11:39

Right.

Chris 11:40

And I have to say it was probably the oldest plane I've ever been on. Not much really? Yeah, it was like you know Was it a two and a two or was it? No, it's a three and a three, but the seats were very close in front of you. So no extra leg room. No extra leg room. Oh god. And you know, um when you walk onto the plane, yeah, they had old school knobs.

Paul 11:59

Not so nowhere to talk about the cabin creep.

Chris 12:01

But you know, like like the buttons of like you're thinking they were probably why you get your trade table out.

Paul 12:06

Yeah, yeah. Okay, yeah.

Chris 12:08

And also just like I you know when you can you can tell if you're in a newer plane, can't you? Because it's all the lights are really nice.

Paul 12:15

Basically, but you were flying a short flight.

Chris 12:19

Short flight, it must have been years old, this old plane.

Paul 12:22

Well, actually, no, did you know planes are actually governed by miles? So once they hit a certain amount of miles, they get taken to the plane graveyard, which is why people then buy planes and convert them into Airbnbs. Oh Did you know you can stay in an in an aeroplane that's been converted into an apartment? Can you? Yeah. Google it when you can. Listeners, Google that. Can I stay in a plane? It's not Airbnb.

Chris 12:46

Well that's quite extras.

Paul 12:50

I don't fancy that. But back to Tim's original point, yes, I get it. We don't it's like clapping your taxi driver when he's got you to his destination.

Chris 12:59

Yeah, we like so when uh so when I was going to so I was going to basically Italy to Germany, yeah, nobody said anything really. Oh, yeah. Because it was all full of Germans, I think. Right. Um and uh but then on the way back, you could tell we were with Brits. It was the way they were going back to Gatwick. Going back to Gatwick, bit rude at times. Do you think as a nation we are rude? No, not everyone. Some people some people just the way they talk to people.

Paul 13:27

Um just society in general.

Chris 13:30

Anyway, they'll go slightly off topic there, but um but somebody did clap, and I just went, Oh come on, mate, it's his job.

Paul 13:37

Yeah, but also everybody in every job at times it goes wrong.

Chris 13:43

Yeah, I get it. If so if it was a bit of a bit of a scary.

Paul 13:53

That they made it to the other end and there was no issues or turbulence, and it was just uh thank you so much. Yeah, I got here, amazing. So I think sometimes it can be circumstantial, but I still let for me if one person claps, it's like it may be a relief thing. Maybe. But if I'm on a plane and three-quarters of the plane clap, then I'm like get out. Shut up. He's not done, he's not sang, he's not just like played Mozart's fifth segment on the piano, just stop. So, yes, thanks Tim, I am in on that. And I encourage everybody to when you next get a taxi, when you get out of the taxi, he pulls up, just clap him and see what he does. It'll look at you very odd. Yeah, but just do it.

Chris 14:37

You know, you know taxis, just side side note. Yeah. Do you sit in the front or the back?

Paul 14:42

Oh. If I'm on my own, yeah, I'll sit in the back. If I'm with one person, then we both sit in the back. Yeah. If I'm with three people, you sit in the front. I sit in the back.

Chris 14:55

Oh, you sit in the back? Yeah, I don't like the back. You never go in the front.

Paul 14:57

Do you know why? Because I'm not the kind of guy that likes to make small talk with random people. That's really awkward. You can talk to a wall and be there for ages, where I don't like talking to people at times.

Chris 15:07

It does feel awkward being a passenger in in a car, you've the person you don't know, isn't it?

Paul 15:13

Yeah, it's like when do you know sometimes if you go to a family event and then like your someone a friend of a friend will say, Oh, I need to go to the train station, and they go, It's alright, I'll get John to drop you. Yes. Don't get John to drop me. I'm alright, I don't know who John is. Don't need that. I'll get a taxi. But then you go, but is that not the same thing? Yeah, I can't do that. Do you know what I mean?

Chris 15:35

Yeah, it's the it's the small talk, isn't it? Yeah, it's the awkwardness.

Paul 15:38

It's like when in taxi when you go, you've been busy. Time do you finish?

Chris 15:42

And I bet, I bet if there's taxi drivers listening to this, that is that'll be their time.

Paul 15:46

Yeah, they're just shut up, don't say anything. Just say say hello. Just say hello, where do you want to go? Get out, get out, get lost.

Chris 15:52

Go from there.

Paul 15:53

Yeah, so cool. Next one.

Chris 15:55

Uh this is from somebody that doesn't want to give their name. Okay, so it's anonymous. Right?

Paul 16:00

Oh, it's anonymous. Yes. Okay, go for it.

Chris 16:02

Uh people making the most stupid comments like when in character, you must be hot in there.

Paul 16:09

I get why they've stayed anonymous, because that's one of the rules of being doing costume work that all the characters are real.

Chris 16:17

Yes.

Paul 16:17

Okay, so I get why they've stayed anonymous.

Chris 16:19

So if there's any if any kids listening, it's probably a good time to turn the volume down slightly.

Paul 16:24

I just if you watch Mass Singer, it's the same thing. Same thing. Um, yeah, I get that. I've been in costume. Do you ever do costume work?

Chris 16:33

Uh not very good at it. I've did I've I worked alongside uh Well done, he's he's remembered his training. I remember my training. Yeah. He worked alongside Fireman Sam. Take that as you will.

Paul 16:43

Alright, okay.

Chris 16:44

Uh and uh if I'm honest, I ended up walking into uh into a post, into a wall. I walk completely the wrong way. Yeah. And the person that was helping Fireman Sam was go, go to the left, go to the right.

Paul 16:57

So back to the comment is when someone says to the character, you must be hot in there. Yes. That to me is someone that you go, if you've got kids or whatever, shut up and make it as magical as possible. So it's like, don't even think about the person in there. So I get why that would be annoying. That do you know what I would do? I'd literally like get close to their face and blow through the brief hole, the breath hole. Yeah. And just go, go away. Yeah. Do you know what I mean?

Chris 17:24

And it's obvious, isn't it?

Paul 17:26

Do you know what I used to do in costume when I did costume work? Yeah. When I worked alongside Pyman Sam, Bob the Builder, Professor Potty, Barney the Dinosaur, uh what else did I do? I did loads. Um smiled for pictures.

Chris 17:39

Yeah, I did that.

Paul 17:40

That's weird, isn't it?

Chris 17:41

It is weird because nobody can see you smiling.

Paul 17:43

But when somebody you're going, Po for a picture, I smile on the inside.

Chris 17:48

Do other do other people do that? But naturally you would do because if somebody was taking a photo of you without anything on, uh, I meant in terms of costume, yeah, you'd still smile, wouldn't you? Would you? Well, yeah, you still smile at the camera.

Paul 18:02

Yeah, you are, but sometimes I think you you just forget where you are sometimes.

Chris 18:05

And I think you're a bit more animated when you're smiling, aren't you?

Paul 18:08

Yeah, I suppose so. You ever try and do a sarcastic smile? You just smiled. I just tried to do a sarcastic smile, but I looked like I was constipated. Yeah, he did. He actually did. Right, should we do another voice note one? Yeah. Right, who are we going to next? Let's go to Atte, we'll go to Chris. Okay, then. He's uh he's uh he loves listening to our podcast. Uh he's actually sent us two, but here's the first one.

Guest 18:32

Hi, Chris and Paul on the Post Pavilion Podcast. Uh, I have a tut. Um, you know, obviously, people get pulled up for speeding on the motorway. If you go past uh 70 and you get a speeding ticket. What gets on my tut is obviously people who don't abide by the speed limit. So if it's a 40, they're going 30. If it's a 70, they're going 60, which causes traffic jams, and it gets on my tuts. Oh, just please. There's speed limits there for a reason. You're supposed to go to the speed limit, not below it, not above it, on the speed limit. Really gets on my tutz.

Chris 19:11

Hey, do you know what? He's got he's got a very, very good point there, actually. Um, there is a speed limit for a reason.

Paul 19:19

I'm gonna counterargue this then.

Chris 19:20

No, because if it's counterarguing it. I'm with if it's a special.

Paul 19:24

Right, so if you're the 70 and the lorries go past you that's restricted at 56 miles an hour, then what's what's yeah, but that's different.

Chris 19:30

I can't How is it?

Paul 19:31

Because So it doesn't mean you have to drive 70. That is the limit you can go on that road.

Chris 19:37

It's dangerous if you drive less than 70 miles.

Paul 19:40

The speed limit does not dictate how fast you could go, it's called a speed limit. You cannot go over 70 miles an hour, but you can be done for slow driving, which can be dangerous. Yes, but I don't see an issue with doing 60 and a 70 or 30 and a 40.

Chris 19:58

Yeah, I g yeah, I get it. I get it.

Paul 20:01

It depends says the guy that's got two speed of tickets in seven months.

Chris 20:05

You're probably not the best person to do it.

Paul 20:07

But those were excellence. Yeah, but I get I I understand when it can be annoying, but again, it's circumstantial. If you're in a rush to get somewhere, yeah, move, get out of my way. You should be doing 70. Well, actually, that's not true.

Chris 20:22

They can do 65, 68, I think it's when it's it's it's it's those people that are like I get like sometimes I've gone through country roads, and granted, you don't want to do sometimes you can't do the national speed limit because I don't know why the sign's there, because you can't even do that going around wide roads. Yeah, but for those people that are actually doing like sort of 30 round those roads is actually more dangerous because people are trying to overtake them, which is going to cause more accidents. So, really, you should probably just if you're not confident on the road, don't drive down it.

Paul 20:54

Correct. Also, this is coming from a guy that lives in Cornwall, where a motorway to them is a single lane road. Well, yeah. I hate Cornish roads, can't stand Cornish Road. I paid once 60 quid to get my car cleaned.

Chris 21:06

Yeah. 60 quid?

Paul 21:08

Well, yeah, inside and out.

Chris 21:09

In Cornwall.

Paul 21:10

Uh yeah, it was in Cornwall.

Chris 21:11

In Cornwall.

Paul 21:12

Yeah, inside and out, and then you get your tyres shine. Well, they saw you come in. Dashboard cleaned and everything like that. Um, so I paid 60 quid, and then I drove down a single lane road in Cornwall. Waste of money. My tyres were shot. Yeah. It just anyway. But that's Cornwall for you. Yeah, cool. Right, let's go on to our next one. I'm enjoying Tuts. Yeah, me too. Oh, I've lost the notes.

Chris 21:33

Okay, well, I've got uh I've I've got one. Um then. Um right then. Uh so uh Tim, yeah, another Tim, different Tim. Yeah. Uh Tim from uh Skegnes says, the USB going in wrong way round, always on the first try.

Paul 21:49

Oh, so yeah.

Chris 21:50

What does that mean?

Paul 21:51

So if you try and put a USB stick into a computer, yeah, but it has to go in a certain way for it to go in. And you do that and you go, oh, I've got it the wrong way. Yeah. Do you know what that means? Stop using USB and use USC.

Chris 22:02

Oh, do you know what that's another thing that really gets on my nerves? Is the different type of leads you need. I need a USB C, I need a USB, I need a USB uh whatever it is. I don't get how that annoys you. Because there's so many different ones.

Paul 22:14

No, but nothing I own is anything apart from a USB C, whatever it's called.

Chris 22:19

Well, that one, that's a point.

Paul 22:20

No, that's a USB. That's a USB.

Chris 22:22

Oh, the thin is a USB C.

Paul 22:24

But now what my phone charges, because I've got the iPhone 17 Pro Max. Oh are you? Oh, so it was no right. I have an up-to-date phone, so everything I own is a USB C.

Chris 22:35

Why don't they just make it universal?

Paul 22:37

That's what they're trying to do though. So now moving forward, everything will be USB C. Okay. But I get that used to annoy. We used to do that when we were DJ. Well, you're still a DJ. Yeah. I haven't DJ'd for years. But if you were get into a venue to DJ a gig and you put your USB stick. Yes. And then you put it in. Do you know what annoys me then? And when it goes, it's not reading. Yeah.

Chris 22:57

Well, I've just plugged it in. I've literally just had it on my laptop, it's worked, but for whatever reason, I've put it in, it doesn't work.

Paul 23:03

So then you do that thing that used to do with the Sega Mega Drive where you start to blow in it. Yes. Get rid of the dust. You remember doing that on the Sega Mega Drive? It does work. It does work, and then you put it in and then it reads. It's like nothing's happened. So I can't believe I went old with Sega Mega Drive. Yeah, but it was good.

Chris 23:17

That and the N64.

Paul 23:19

N64. If you remember the Sega Mega Drive and the N64, just drop us a message just with a thumbs up. I'm just curious to know how many people.

Chris 23:30

What was the best game on the N64? Sonic. Golden Eye.

Paul 23:38

Have you got the PlayStation 5? No. Oh.

Chris 23:41

So yeah, I I I'm sort of with him on that one.

Paul 23:44

Yeah, I can see how that is really straight in.

Chris 23:46

It's just it's leads in general. In my house, I've got so many different leads, and I have got no idea what they're for. Some are uh some are for charging, uh, some are some others are for charging but for different devices, but I don't know which device it's there for. They label them. But then I've got a lead that I've got to try and find to charge up the ring doorbell, I've got a lead for putting something else in, I've got a lead, an extension lead for something. There's too many leads in my house.

Paul 24:12

Well, you know what you need to do? Get them all together and then go, that's that, that's that, and then if you're left with a pile, throw it in a bin.

Chris 24:18

I can't be bothered.

Paul 24:19

Literally, I did that about a year ago with all the leads in the house.

Chris 24:22

But you know what will happen? The one lead that I do need is the one I've chucked out. It's the net I'll have to I have a drawer of you never know.

Paul 24:29

No, I don't have a drawer, you never know. I haven't the only leads that are in my house are ones that I go for the Hoovers. I have I have two plugs for the Hoovers, because I've got a handheld and a normal one. Yeah. But it's the same plug, so I just got rid of one plug. I don't need to have two plugs. I'm not gonna charge them at the same time. Not using them at the same time. Well you might do.

Chris 24:46

You might not.

Paul 24:48

So I got rid. So just organise your life a little bit more. Okay. Took a turn, didn't it? It did?

Chris 24:54

I'm gonna bring my leads to your house.

Paul 24:55

Well, anyway, we got a message from Oh, we've had a message from Egypt.

Chris 25:00

Egypt?

Paul 25:01

Egypt.

Chris 25:01

That's a funny name.

Paul 25:02

No, they are in Egypt.

Chris 25:04

Oh, they're in Egypt.

Paul 25:04

So Billy and Caitlin, who are listeners, they are clearly on holiday in Egypt. They're having a great time. Uh people reserve some beds on holiday and not showing up for hours.

Chris 25:15

That's a classic Brit thing.

Paul 25:16

It's just my head in that.

Chris 25:18

I think we're is it just Brits that do it?

Paul 25:20

No, Germans do. Is it the Germans as well? Yeah, the Germans are renowned for doing it.

Chris 25:23

Well, when I when uh I've been to some holiday resorts and they've put signs up saying, look, you can't do that if your towels on your um on your bed for uh more than 30 minutes, they'll just remove it. Good, so they should. Yeah. And you have to take they use their towels.

Paul 25:40

So um see that's the problem. That's the problem. If you're staying at a holiday resort, it's like if they have a policy in place, use it. Yeah. If they don't have a holiday a policy in place, then that's when it becomes a bit of a free-for-all.

Chris 25:51

I don't get it. Just just just go down when you want to go down.

Paul 25:54

Yeah, but sometimes you want to get a good spot by the pool. By the way, I'm not a guy that likes sitting by the pool. I could do half a day of sunbaby, and that's about it. I'm a bit like that. Yeah, but I I think if you're using a holiday resort and their own towels, then they have every right to do that.

Chris 26:10

So even even when I um I uh accidentally left my towel on a sunbed.

Paul 26:17

Did it go?

Chris 26:18

It nearly went, and it was my own fault because I wasn't saving it, I just put it there without really thinking about it. So it was a good it's a good thing to do.

Paul 26:27

So hope you're having a nice holiday in TJP.

Chris 26:30

Very nice holiday.

Paul 26:32

Right, next one. Dean's got in touch.

Chris 26:35

Hello, Dean.

Paul 26:36

Uh dumb people walking their dogs in the peak of a heat on a heat wave. I mean it goes without saying, doesn't it? That's just I've I really like it at the minute because I've seen videos on TikTok and Instagram of other people calling out dog calling out dog owners for walking their dogs in the heat. Yeah. I'm all for it.

Chris 26:56

I'm all for it. And I saw a video online actually of a of a of a man walking out on the road on his bare feet, and he was showing he was showing everybody the blisters on the back of his feet, and he was like, Well, this is what's doing to my feet. What's it gonna be doing to your face?

Paul 27:09

Because dogs sweat from their paws and then so heat and heat is just bad for the dogs. Of course it is. I I'm I'm all for it. I would go as far as I would call the RSPC.

Chris 27:21

I mean it's stupid, isn't it? Right?

Paul 27:22

Just leave your dog in. It's better to leave your dog in the heat for two, three, four, five days. Leave them inside, leave them at home, let it, you know, open the windows keep them cool by a cool mat. But no one should ever be walking dogs in this heat. And if you are, then you should be going to prison. You should. And I hope someone walks around the corner and punches you in the face.

Chris 27:43

Oh, that's took another turn.

Paul 27:44

It annoys me though, doesn't it?

Chris 27:45

Yeah, I get it, yeah.

Paul 27:46

It's like me putting you on a lead, making you walk on all fours on the pavement in a heat wave. It's not nice. Whatever you get up to in your own time, it's your own business. Are we doing another voice one?

Chris 27:57

Another uh another voice note, quite a quite a long voice note, so just just bear with us. Strap in strap in, it's a good one. Uh hello, Dave from Portsmouth, and he says uh this is his uh his tut.

Guest 28:11

So here we go. What really gets on my nerves really gets on my wick. I do a lot of travelling, I go to different places all over the UK, and sometimes I need to park. And when I do park, I've got your standard apps, like your Ringos, pay by phone, but sometimes you come to a place where I am today on the Isle of Wight and you get a random parking app that you've got to download, put in your details, give permissions, and then it needs to know your location, and then you walk away, you go to pay, but then you've got to connect your bank account, and literally it's £1.25, and then you've got to give permission to your bank account to pay £1.25 half-hour parking. And if you don't do that, then you get an £80 fine. So I've had to download an app, give a load of permissions. I'm gonna get load of emails about promotions about would you like some coffee or something, or 25% off your next purchase in Primark or something? And then uh yeah, a pain, a pain, it gets on my nerves. Why can't we just pay for it? Because the machines it don't take cards, they only take coins, they don't take notes, coins. Who's got coins on them nowadays? And also seagulls when they eat your chips.

Chris 29:19

See, I think he was in a car park when he actually sent that to.

Paul 29:23

I think he was in the moment of trying to organise pay for his parking. But we've all been there.

Chris 29:29

Oh my goodness.

Paul 29:30

Let me count how many apps I've got on my phone for car parking. So parking, uh, hang on. I've got a I've got my own folder on my phone for parking. Car parking.

Chris 29:41

You've got a car, you're very organised.

Paul 29:42

So I've got a car parking section on my phone. One, two, three. Oh. One, two, three, four, five. I've got six.

Chris 29:50

Six car parking.

Paul 29:52

Six parking apps on my phone.

Chris 29:53

And you know what really annoys me is when they I don't mind paying on the car parking app. I get it, it's when you have no signal. And you go, why?

Paul 30:00

There's one in Cornwall that does that.

Chris 30:02

Why put why go, well you can pay on your phone, but you can't pay on your phone because you've got no signal to pay.

Paul 30:07

I know somebody who once had no signal, parked in a car park, you had to use an app, it was literally an app or nothing else, and he got well aggy about it. He had no signal, he tried to download it, he couldn't download it, so then he just left the car there. He went, Sod it, I'll pay the £60. And then when the £60 came through, he just argued it and argued it and argued it and argued it and kept going. So then the other P company then went, Oh, we'll just get rid of it. Alright. It's like sometimes take a risk. I would take a risk for £1.25. Would you? Yeah, £100. And I'd be this is why ChatGPT is so good, because you can literally go, argue this for me. And then write these what they sent me, send me a sarcastic response back. Don't copy, paste, send up.

Chris 30:55

But it's a risky move because they might go, sorry, Mr. Gilbert, uh, we we we we take on board what you said, but you still have to pay the £100 fine, and it would have cost you £1.25 just because.

Paul 31:05

Yeah, I get that, but sometimes to be I yeah, I would just be Why don't they just make it universal?

Chris 31:11

Again, it's like the lead thing. Just make it universal. One part car parking app, done.

Paul 31:18

I would be fuming though. Like there's what do you know what annoys me about some places? Why have we got to put your number plate in? What happened to the days years ago? You get parking for three hours, and then let's say you left after an hour, and then somebody would be at the other side getting you go, how long are you staying for? Well, just an hour. You go, I'll just use my ticket. Yeah, that's the problem with society now. We've just become so institutionalized that you're not allowed, the social interaction's gone.

Chris 31:44

It was so much easier, yeah. But that's a nice thing, isn't it? To go, oh, I've paid for three hours, I only stay for one, have me ticket. Have me ticket, yeah. Oh, cheers, mate.

Paul 31:51

Have a good day, appreciate it.

Chris 31:52

It stops giving us the you know what it is, it's money-making for the car parks, isn't it?

Paul 31:56

It is. Do you hear it? It might be true, I don't know if it is true, but there was someone at a theme park who had been there as a car park attendant for years, seven pounds a car, and he'd be done it for like 25 years. Yeah. And then one day he didn't turn up. But the council thought it belonged to the theme park. I did hear this story. And then the theme park then went to the council and went, No, it's nothing to do with us. And it was just a random bloke that had made millions of pounds off people's parking.

Chris 32:22

He's done all right, ain't he?

Paul 32:24

He had some balls that bloke.

Chris 32:25

Would he ever like to pay that back?

Paul 32:27

No, he went missing. Oh so he he took his money, disappeared. See you later. Fair play. That takes some balls, that is.

Chris 32:35

A lot of planning, a lot, and it's risky.

Paul 32:37

It is a risky business.

Chris 32:38

Risky, isn't it?

Paul 32:39

Risky. Right. Would you go with another one?

Chris 32:41

Uh should we have a voice note?

Paul 32:42

Yeah, let's do a voice note. Who's next? Uh I think we've got Mitch. Got Mitch next. Oh, hang on. Let me play Mitch's. This is Mitch. I think this is also driving related.

Guest 32:53

Hello, lads. Mitch here, longtime listener, first time caller. And I've got a touch of the week for you. Now, this might be incredibly specific, but it's something that really grinds my gears. Now, I'm a bit of a passenger princess, I can't drive, so I can't really talk. But I hate it when you're going somewhere with someone, it might be the shops, it might be the restaurant, it might be to the cinema. And there's an empty car park, and what they decide to do is park at the furthest possible car parking space away from the building you're going into. And then you've got to walk half a mile to the place. I might as well have just walked. Is that just me?

Paul 33:35

Let me know. No, I agree. Do you agree with him? Does my nothing?

Chris 33:40

What when you go and drive to the other end of the car park?

Paul 33:43

Yeah, why? There's loads of spaces.

Chris 33:45

I think it's for those people that it there's too much choice, isn't it? It's a bit overwhelming. What do you mean it's overwhelming?

Paul 33:53

There's a space, park in it. But then you go past your driving test, which means an instructor said you are capable of driving on UK roads and European roads. You are capable of driving forward, driving backwards, driving to the side, reversing around the corner, do all that. If you drive back a parking space, get in the parking space.

Chris 34:14

Yeah, I get no, I think people might go, well, if I sort of park it towards the back end of the car park, people aren't going to bash into it.

Paul 34:21

Alright, but until someone parks next to you and then opens the car door and it's your car. Exactly.

Chris 34:25

I mean, yeah, I'm not look, I'm uh You're sitting on the fence for this.

Paul 34:28

I completely agree.

Chris 34:29

I'm sitting not sitting on the fence. I I when I go into the car park, I think crikey. It's like when you go into an empty, you gotta watch something uh and there's a room full of chairs, you go, where where shall I sit? Where's the best place? Where's the best and that's I guess it's the same thing with the car parking situation. Where's the best place to park? Granted, it's probably close, probably closer to where you where the where the doors are.

Paul 34:48

No, it's ridiculous. Just if there's a space park in it, don't drive around a car park for four hours to then park in a space. Just get find the space, park in it, get out of your car. Yeah, easy. I just don't get it. If you can't do that, then you shouldn't have a UK driving licence. I think it's but more about the choice and the panic. It's not. Just park your car. Just I'm on Mitch's side on this, so there you go. I've been quite blunt on that. You have, haven't you? So sorry.

Chris 35:17

Very, very blunt on my car.

Paul 35:18

I just I just have a car that's got stuff on it, like parking sensors and a camera sometimes. See, you're very lucky. So then just reverse into the space. Anyway, let's do a few more.

Chris 35:28

Yeah, yeah, thanks for that, Mitch. Uh hello goes out to uh Tim, uh, another Tim. Uh so when people wave at other people when they're on a boat or any other method of transport that isn't something usual, like why does it when suddenly become acceptable to wave at strangers because you're on a land train?

Paul 35:45

Right?

Chris 35:46

I'm in a car waving at people, it's weird. If I'm on a boat, it's completely acceptable, and nine times out of ten, I'll get a wave back. Humans are weird. He's do you know what he's absolutely bad at? Yeah, he's got a point. It is if I started waving in my car, it would be weird, wouldn't it?

Paul 36:04

Yeah.

Chris 36:04

It would be weird.

Paul 36:05

Well, you you have got a Ford.

Chris 36:07

Yeah, I have.

Paul 36:08

Um, no, I get it. I was in Florida a few years ago and we went on we hired a boat and then we were going out of the estuary, and then the boats go past each other, you just wave at each other. But it's quite noise.

Chris 36:19

I we I was I was on a boat the other day, actually. Uh yeah, and there was somebody else on a boat and they were just on their own and they just waved and they and I just felt like it was good to wave back. Hello, we're we're both on the same. Right, okay.

Paul 36:32

I I think it comes with Well, here's a one for you though, and Tim, I reckon he he might have thought of this. If you see someone with the same car, you wave at them.

Chris 36:42

Yeah, I've done that. I've done that before.

Paul 36:44

Why? Uh because it's called I'm also a Peugeot driver. Hello.

Chris 36:48

I done I we used to have years ago uh a Mazda MX5, and there was a Oh, did you? Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Soft top. What colour was it? Yellow is it? Yellow, yeah. And uh and there was not many of those colours around. But because you're in an MX5 with the roof down, you sort of go, it's a little nod to each other going, yeah, these are good cars, aren't they?

Paul 37:07

Yeah, do you know what that says to me? You drive in a Mazda MX5 with the roof down. That says to me, you obnoxious, arrogant people.

Chris 37:15

I'd say what, you want to have a go in one. Because your opinion would change. No, it wouldn't.

Paul 37:20

Well, let's Tim, thanks for your message. I would think we should finish off with one more voice note. Good idea. Um so hang on, let me find These have been brilliant, by the way. I love this.

Chris 37:32

And I know there'll be there'll be people sat here listed in going, yeah, I agree. Or no, I don't agree. If there's any of that you've not agreed with or do agree with, then let us know. Get on touch uh at Post Pavilion Podcast because uh uh we could have another follow-up. Another special special, yeah.

Paul 37:48

Here's our last one. It's from Chris again, he sent us two. Here's his second one. I don't know what this one is.

Guest 37:54

Hi, Chris and Paul on the Post Pavilion Podcast. What gets on my touch is people who pretend to like football over the World Cup, try to ask for time off for work, try and get the perks of a World Cup, but after that's finished, they don't care about football at all. It really grinds my gears. You're either going to support your teams through the season, or just when a World Cup comes, oh, I need time off work, or please can I start late because the English game at two o'clock? Get on my tarts.

Chris 38:20

Ha ha! Yeah. Uh no, I agree with him on that.

Paul 38:24

Absolutely agree with him. Can I give you an example of this? Go on. My mum doesn't follow football. She doesn't follow football, she's not a football fan. Yeah. But after the game the other night where England beat Norway, it finished at like maybe one-ish in the morning. No, it was UK time. Yeah, oh yeah, it did. UK time. Um she then texted me saying, Oh, you still awake? I was like, yeah, I'm still awake. I was like, I thought something's happened. Dad's not well. Yeah. One of the one of the nieces and nephews not well. So she was like, FaceTime yeah. I was like, oh god, and it's FaceTime me. And then she went, Oh, we're through. And I went, What? She went, England, I watched it, we're through. Why do you care? You've never watched football before. It's not that she's never watched football before, but you're I get the patriotic side of it, but you either like football or you don't like football.

Chris 39:16

Well, I think it's I think like you mentioned, I think it's the patriotic side, isn't it? It's like England, we're we're doing well, so we're gonna see how they get on.

Paul 39:24

Yeah, but asking for time off work and stuff like that, I don't think it's acceptable for work.

Chris 39:28

If you're a real football fan, then yes.

Paul 39:30

So at time of recording, England play on Wednesday, so this would have been by the time this had come out.

Chris 39:35

Well the final would have gone.

Paul 39:36

It would have happened. Well, this doesn't this episode ain't coming out for a while.

Chris 39:39

So we better do two different answers.

Paul 39:43

No, let's not. But I'm just saying that on Wednesday when England play Argentina, yeah, I'm driving from Minerad to Skagnes. So I'll be listening to it on Five Live. It's not as if I could say to the boss, can I have the day off so I can watch the game?

Chris 39:58

Well, after when this episode goes out, the World Cup will be over. So we go, so we go Should we do two endings? Let's do two endings.

Paul 40:05

Two endings to the podcast. We'll do the negative one first.

Chris 40:08

Yeah.

Paul 40:08

It's good if we're gonna make it through, it's gonna be England and France.

Chris 40:12

Okay.

Paul 40:12

Alright. So Chris, you see the game? Yeah, you final we lost.

Chris 40:17

I can't believe it. Can you believe it?

Paul 40:20

And Mappe was amazing. It was good, wasn't he? Yeah. And then now let's do the one we we we won it. We've actually won it. We won it, ready? Yeah. Oh my god! Yes, I can't believe it!

Chris 40:30

We've won the World Cup!

Paul 40:32

The first time since 1966.

Chris 40:34

Oh goodness, I'm so happy for him. Oh, it's so good. So good. That felt so fake, it was all good.

Paul 40:41

Anyway, thanks for listening to our special episode of What Gets On Your Tuts, the special.

Chris 40:46

It's been fun. And like I say, please send in more. We love hearing uh hearing your uh what really grinds your gears, uh, because we we always add them into the sh into the episodes, but this was a little special one. Uh and if we've uh we might do another one, shall we?

Paul 40:59

We should do one in a few weeks' time. Yeah, okay. Anyway, I'm off. Yes. See you later.

Chris 41:04

We'll see you on the next episode. Bye.
