#390 - Annsbie, We Lube Up and The Hypot...

Bbc Radio 5 Live
About this episode

“Purgatory is nothing. This is hell.” You’ll never guess which presenter’s mouth that inspiring line came out of today.

Well if you want a clue perhaps you might be able to tell that John has had a bum setback. But we lube up, we go again, and we create content. Though he has bifurcated into two - spiritual gas John and physical John - in order to remain zen.

But let’s not continue on that bum note, because there are other bum notes to be played, for there’s a quite astonishing email from a listener determined to break a record.

We also hear from the sisters of Stansbie and John’s widow is floated around the room along with the prospect of Elis getting hammered online for not reading his eulogy in Falkirk.

To get in touch with all your Annsbies, and preferably not your gaseous world records - someone’s got to read the emails - then it’s elisandjohn@bbc.co.uk or 07974 293 022 on WhatsApp.
