Is WoAi really sexy enough to be on the top shelf though? I suppose he could offer something to the younger female. What do you say, girls?

Tommy was in the kitchen drinking water from my mug which was in the sink. He LOVES to drink water from anywhere EXCEPT his own bowl. But I am aware of this, so I always make sure the exposed water is just water and not washing up liquid for example.

The food turned up, we stopped recording and then carried on after we finished eating. Needless to say, what we discussed during the meal was not fit for broadcast!

And I think the middle aged references are a dig at me, not you listeners.

Very much enjoyed the whole Hopfrog segment – classic comedy. I also liked the new Dingle jingle! That cracked me up.

The pace of the podcast was a little slower than normal, but that was probably due to the adjustments I made to the output speed last week. After 7 weeks and 2x speed, it took some getting used to.

BTW: Whatever happened to the food – did it turn up?
And please explain the fairy liquid in Tommy\’s water…

When is your move to China? I have to admit, I find it impressive you stick with these blogs for so long not being in China. Even my friends back home don’t follow the blog as it really doesn’t captivate the interest if someone isn’t here to relate to the stuff we talk about. SHE of course is a great and prolific blogger too.

We have another friend who is usually the target of all the jokes (mainly as he’s American) but as he’s not a blogger, that job of ball breakee seems to have fallen to me.

Anyway, thanks for the praise, don’t let me stop you, keep it up!

I must embarrassingly admit (even though I knew there was no way he had my phone number) that I did a double take at the phone for a split second when that gag was going down. Thought the whole thing was rather brilliant. Clipped us both with one shot.

Let me also agree that your blogs are well crafted and spot on, thats why I follow. Why in the world is a yank in Vegas following the blog of a Brit expat in Shanghai? Its good stuff, thats why. In anticipation of a move to China I started following a plethora of expat blogs so I could get an idea of what to expect. Due to time constraints I had to axe about 20 of them from my blogroll and kept the 10 best. Even though Shanghai will not be my destination, I still follow yours and SHE because they are top shelf. Swiss and Dingle also put out excellent blogs, brilliant blogs really, I just wish I had more time.

Any comedic team worth their salt needs a good punchin’ bag. It takes a brave and self-confident man to take that abuse on a weekly basis, so WoAi, let me salute you sir.

@Kim C – So? What’s the verdict?

@Hopfrog – Have you ever considered a career in podcast reviewing? Yours are always so well crafted and spot on, much like my blog posts, it’s as if we were the same person! I too thought that Dingle muttering “SHIT” under his breath was very convincing. It’s ALMOST as if he was truly disappointed that I had showed up. And of course, I didn’t hear that at the time of recording so it was a genuine surprise when I listened to the podcast.

I really had no idea what was coming when James said he had your number and was going to call you up. I am wondering what YOUR reaction was when you heard him dialing “your” number.

And of course, you’re right, without WoAi as a doormat / punching bag, the podcast just isn’t quite right. I am happy to provide this service and having my “cojones” trampled on for entertainment’s sake.

@David – I still love your “album review” format please do keep it up.

@Anthony – Sorry we can’t have people calling in because then you’d know our numbers and we’re all very private people, much like David Letterman (used to be!).
