#584 - The PRS Club, Sex Walks and The Tiny Cold Woman Who Wants To Live In John’s Fridge
Elis and John lead with the question “what are the biggest non-nuclear manmade explosions in history?” On later reflection this wasn’t something which would have worked in the compressed audio world of commercial radio.

#580 - Seething Resentment, Lance Legstrong and Director Deputy Director General
Horrific. Seething. Resentful. No, those aren’t the words which Dave is feeling towards City’s owners today. Rather it’s the state of Elis’s head right now.

#579 - Pad Cymru, Human Alps and A Constant Perma-Rolling Crisis
Poor old Elis. Just when he thought he’d been surprised enough this year we go and chuck another one his way.

John’s having a nightmare because of a rapidly approaching admin hill AKA a holiday.

#574 - It’s Groinal, Club 44-60 and Crying At A Dog Called Bonehead
Big week for Elis because he’s cried all the liquid out of his body in the cinema. Why? Well it’s obviously because a South American woman named her dog Bonehead.
