Farwell to Steve Wright, new fences, incorrect postage and soup or sauce

Plus, gentle podcasts, Apprentice winners, fun with Senior Rail Cards, Spinna d’Plates, Alan Partridge and Thames Water

Having faffed around on a cheaper recording platform, we’re back on Riverside, proving you get what you pay for.

We bid a sad farewell to radio genius Steve Wright.

Grumpy has found a kindred spirit for his annoyance for gentle podcasts that advertise loud podcasts waking night time listeners with a jolt.

We fans of the “The Rest is Entertainment” podcast with Richard Osman and Marina Hyde, well worth a listening.

Lippy had a Christmas card with the incorrect postage. Having paid the £1.20 fine, she was horrified to find out the culprit.

Grumpy Towers has a new fence after ten years of propping up and general concern that the whole lot was going to be blown down in a storm.

We’ve picked our Apprentice winners after the first episode, however Grumpy is a long way behind as he doesn’t have the strength to watch in the evening.

Turning 60 has a benefit in being able to buy a Senior Rail Card giving you money off train tickets. Grumpy has used his twice and has managed to spend £2 more than he would of done without the card and has narrowly avoided a fine.

Orange marshal 2 has morphed into Spinna d’Plates and we look forward to hear more about his adventures.

Partridge is back on the BBC!

What is the difference between soup and a sauce? You probably won’t find the answer here.

Grumpy has a rant at Thames Water.

Lippy has an ick and Grumpy a fun fact.
