Ah-ha!  It was the weekend of Collectormania in Milton Keynes, which is where geeks and nerds around the country descend to False-London to buy autographs of random pretty, and not so pretty, people.  We camped outside in a pub, spotting drug dealing ladies and admiring cars.

This week we headed to The Red Lion - yes, another one - in Moore.  Moore is on the outskirts of Runcorn.This is a podcast with a slight difference - we're outside in the beer garden, overlooking some fields, and we're joined by some horses that locals have left whilst they were inside eating lunch.Great pub.  Very relaxing.  I think this is the first podcast me and Kirsty don't argue on.

Well, we're back, and this time it's at The Waterloo in Runcorn.  This pub doubles as the pub Gaz and Johnny hang around in on that classic British comedy show 'Two Pints Of Lager And A Packet Of Crisps'.  Which we slag off.

This is a live recording of The Worst Idea of Kirsty Walker's life. Fortunately, nobody died in the recording of this podcast - but it came close.

We could get on board and do a leisurely podcast going across the water documenting this great occasion.What actually happened unfolds live. Long story short - it was a disaster. The audio was barely usable, and it was a b ...
