Life and death while smoking a pipe

Added: 2026-05-12

[00:00:00]Hello.

[00:00:01]Welcome to another him and his pipe.

[00:00:05]It's very nice of you to tune in again, hopefully on a Sunday when I do this, but you might tune in at different times, of course. Just going to tilt the camera just fractionally up like that. It's a bit better.

[00:00:18]>> [snorts] >> Um It's about half past six on Saturday as I record this, the day before it goes out in early May. Early May.

[00:00:29]It's very lovely, isn't it? I'm at Biggleswick Farm as ever. It's always nice to do these at Biggleswick Farm. Thank you for for coming along.

[00:00:38]Um you can't quite see it, but over there is the poly tunnel, little poly tunnel, little potting poly tunnel, and behind me are our wonky workshop.

[00:00:48]Uh everything's wonky here. We don't mind. We like it wonky.

[00:00:54]In the background, you might hear Julia occasionally singing and doing things.

[00:00:58]So, what am I smoking today? Well, I am smoking my meerschaum.

[00:01:04]This is a meerschaum that was given to me again by a very good friend of mine, Andy. Very nice, very generous chap in a collection. Now, I have one of these in my house from 30 years ago. I think this is probably 30 years ago, maybe longer actually. I think this is from the '70s, so there you go, even even older. But I have one somewhere, a meerschaum, but it's um I think it's more of a traditional uh what do you call it? Billiard. A billiard as opposed to this is like a bulldog with um a slight bend in the Oh, I don't know what it's called, but anyway, you know what I mean.

[00:01:46]>> [snorts] >> Oh, and I guess this is pre-colored.

[00:01:50]Um I haven't managed to get it that color, but I gather with my other one which did come pre-colored, but as I smoked it when I was in my 30s for about a year, I think, or maybe less, 6 to 7 or 8 months, something like that. I um and then I gave up, but um I did start to get this sort of rosy red coming through from smoking it. I only had about six six pipes.

[00:02:16]That might be even at the top end. Maybe it was four or five.

[00:02:19]Um and uh I didn't smoke them that often, but they measure my loved.

[00:02:25]So, that's what I've got. I've got my brass lighter, and I've got my faithful twig.

[00:02:30]Um I have found now my brass tamper that was very generously given to me.

[00:02:36]Only it's um not with me.

[00:02:39]But I have found it, which is good. I'm in all these things are in jackets and pockets and waistcoats and all sorts of things, and then I forget to, you know, do whatever.

[00:02:47]I'm smoking today something from GLP's.

[00:02:52]Now, we've got peas growing, but this isn't peas as in those sort of peas. It is p e a s e peas, GLP's, and it's called Westminster.

[00:03:05]Uh it's got that awful message, but luckily it's not in English, so but um there it is, Westminster. And it says on the back here, I have to take my glasses down a minute to see this.

[00:03:15]The The This traditional English blend of new world red Virginias is enhanced with a gentle caress of bright leaf, then lavishly seasoned with oriental tobaccos and generous measures of noble Cyprus Mountain Latakia.

[00:03:35]What a description, eh?

[00:03:37]And to me, it's a it is an English blend. It's it's very um it seems to be incredibly traditional.

[00:03:44]It's a bit like the Craven mixture in many ways that I had.

[00:03:49]And um I I the lovely Julia is just uh and there's a cat just whizzed past my legs.

[00:03:54]Um not a feral cat, it's actually Julia's cat. All right, Julia? All right, darling. There she is, working away. I should be out here watering plants. I've been watering the potatoes.

[00:04:05]Anyway, this uh tobacco it reminds me and I haven't had it for a long time of either Early Morning Pipe by Peterson or Nightcap by Peterson. It's kind of strong blend, but actually in the morning it's very nice. I quite like a a sort of wake me up blend, which I come at when we're staying here in the caravan, which unfortunately isn't all the time, but when we do come and we're blessed to be able to stay here um wake up in the morning about 6-ish, come out here about half past 6:00 as the sun is coming and sit outside in the early morning sun, cuz it's behind me instead of in front of me, and um have a cup of coffee and an early morning pipe, but it may not be Early Morning Pipe that's in the Early Morning Pipe. It might be something else. And in this case, it was Westminster.

[00:04:58]Um so, that's really nice. I don't really know much about GLPs. I think they're an American outfit.

[00:05:05]The Americans will be able to tell me.

[00:05:10]Um so, anyway, it comes in this little sort of pot, which is rather handy. I do like the tins, but these pots are handy for um putting seeds in or nuts and bolts or slightly bigger things, you know.

[00:05:24]Anyway, that's what I'm going to have and I'm going to smoke this and have a chat to you as I normally do.

[00:05:32]I'm a bit disappointed, have to say.

[00:05:36]I don't want to come on here and moan. I don't like doing the moaning thing, but I am a bit disappointed with some of the usual view YouTube pipe smoking channels that I watch.

[00:05:46]Um there's a few that just don't seem to be making any videos anymore. I'm a bit like that um, that duo. You know, that pesky duo, the English couple who uh, don't seem to be making as many videos.

[00:06:00]And when they do, they seem to be a bit, you know, cheap and cheerful, just sitting in front of the camera. I can't abide. I'd never make a camera age just sit in front of the camera.

[00:06:11]Can't abide them, folks, can you?

[00:06:12]>> I can't abide those sort of videos. No, actually, if you've been waiting for an English couple video, we are a bit behind on what we've been doing. We've been Terribly sorry. We've been very busy, haven't we?

[00:06:22]Yes.

[00:06:24]So, you know, this is the thing. We we're so busy trying to just keep on top of it. Everything's gone ballistic here.

[00:06:30]The grass is growing, the thistles are growing, the brambles are growing, all those wonderful plants that we just don't want in certain places, and that's where they're growing. And we're weeding and trying to protect the plants that we do want.

[00:06:43]Anyway, you'll have to watch the next English couple. I'm sure we will have one out by next weekend. We really must.

[00:06:50]Yeah, thank you. The pheasants uh, all around abundantly dropping eggs all over the place, it seems.

[00:06:57]Speaking of, have we got an egg to show?

[00:06:59]We've got an egg.

[00:07:01]So, yes, I'm a bit upset uh, with some of the usual ones. They seem a bit lax.

[00:07:08]Look at that, ladies and gentlemen. I wonder if I could boil it. It was stone cold when we found it, so abandoned.

[00:07:14]>> Yes, we find them. And I see that's not terribly in focus, but that is uh, quite delicious.

[00:07:23]Ooh.

[00:07:24]If you can swallow them hot, I didn't actually swallow it, obviously.

[00:07:27]Um, that's better.

[00:07:31]Ooh, sorry.

[00:07:32]Hit the gardener.

[00:07:35]It's here.

[00:07:36]Anyway, I'll just put it down there.

[00:07:37]Oops.

[00:07:39]So, uh, yeah, we um, we find all sorts of things here. We have um such a wonderful time. Can't tell you.

[00:07:47]And that's the trouble. That's why we haven't made so many videos. And that's why it's something like the pipe smoking videos often sort of a rushed thing. I suddenly go, "Oh my god, I've got to get to a pipe smoking video." And it's, you know, it's a very easy video. I'm just sitting here chatting to you and uh you're very very kind and um you indulge by watching, which is very lovely. And thank you very much. I enjoy watching the other pipe channels. As I said, for a conduit of thought, but it is a bit it's a shame when people aren't making them. Now, of course, you can't force people to make their videos. People have busy lives. They have other things to do in life.

[00:08:22]They can't all just sit out in the garden or on a bit of land and waffle inanely.

[00:08:29]But I'd be interested to know um what would I be interested to know? I would be interested to know why this pipe isn't going.

[00:08:46]That's better.

[00:08:48]You see, we're um we're we're on YouTube.

[00:08:53]And there seems to be, I don't know whether you've seen this, there's a number of YouTube videos that come up on my feed.

[00:09:00]And they're um they're bleating about how YouTube is broken, that people aren't watching their videos or that um if you have a duff video, then you're stuffed, you know, it won't get shared by the all famous algorithm.

[00:09:20]Why's that gone dark? I would always have this problem. This is on This is now on automatic, ladies and gentlemen. It's supposed to not go dark.

[00:09:29]I'll wait for the sun to come out.

[00:09:34]And they and they bleat about this. And they say, "Well, if you do a Duff video, it won't get recommended and then your channel will die and this you know, this apparently is happening to a lot of people.

[00:09:46]And then people give up.

[00:09:49]And the point I was going to make is that a lot of people put a lot of effort into their videos, you know, they do and I used to. I used to do a lot of effort of filming lots of different cutaway shots, what some people call B-roll. I don't I don't like that term A-roll and B-roll.

[00:10:08]I make I do the main shots and then I do cutaways. You cut away to something else. That's what I was I think it's a very British terminology, whereas I think A-roll and B-roll are American terminology. It doesn't matter.

[00:10:21]It all means the same.

[00:10:23]I'm not being too finicky or am I?

[00:10:27]Anyway, the point of it was is that a lot of people put a lot of effort into their videos, you see.

[00:10:33]And and they don't get any they don't get any views and other people put no effort. I mean I put no effort into these videos. I mean look at this it's it's going dark again as the as the sun goes behind the cloud. I always have this issue, don't I?

[00:10:49]It's because normally I have lights and things.

[00:10:52]And so I do make a bit of effort. But even when this is on automatic.

[00:10:57]So I'm going to fiddle with the camera just for a second cuz I can't bear it.

[00:11:02]I'm going to try even though you see I can't even Oh, there we go.

[00:11:06]I don't know what I did. I pressed the button. Let's see how that how that how long that Oh, look look look.

[00:11:12]That is automatic ISO doing that.

[00:11:15]You see I don't like automatic Why does everybody else manage to have an automatic thing and it just works and me cuz I'm always in manual mode, you see.

[00:11:28]If I come up to the camera like this, I'm sure it'll get brighter.

[00:11:32]It It's trying to meter probably for the sky behind me. I don't know.

[00:11:37]Um The cat Oh, the cat. Wait. The cat's got another bloody mouth. Julia!

[00:11:47]Cat. Julia.

[00:11:50]I don't like it going after the shrews.

[00:11:52]Bear with me. Oi!

[00:11:54]Oi!

[00:11:55]Leave it.

[00:11:56]I know it's supposed to Leave.

[00:11:59]Where's my twig?

[00:12:02]I mean, this is the trouble. You're out in the countryside and there is life and death. It is survival of the fittest.

[00:12:10]Although there are some people that challenge the the Darwin theory and even I believe Darwin himself said he didn't quite believe it in the end.

[00:12:24]But, of course, most animals when they kill, they kill to eat because they're hungry.

[00:12:34]If we didn't feed the cat, I suppose the cat would kill and then eat the vole.

[00:12:40]And then it would only kill when it's hungry. But this one is, you know, Trouble is we we buy these toys, not we personally, but people one, you know, for their cats and they chase feathers and things. And then if they're in the different environment, then they chase the prey and they don't really know what to do with it because the cats have become domesticated. Thank you.

[00:13:04]And I guess it's must be my sensibilities which get upset.

[00:13:10]Maybe I shouldn't care about it. Maybe I shouldn't care, but you know, I I think to myself, here we are on this land. We are custodians of the land. We are very privileged and lucky to be here and enjoy this It beauty all around us. The buttercups, the dandelions, although they've now pretty much gone to seed.

[00:13:33]Um all of it all the different plants the forget-me-nots which have been coming up and and all the others the stinging nettles which of course have been very useful particularly to make fertilizer to fertilize the other plants that are growing.

[00:13:48]But we're very privileged to be here.

[00:13:49][music] And before we were here, the wildlife has a right to live here as well.

[00:14:04]And that's what upsets me really.

[00:14:08]I was just talking about life and death and cats and mice and you know a domesticated cat as opposed to feral cat.

[00:14:18]If he was a feral cat, he'd be a lot more aware of what he's doing.

[00:14:23]He'd be eating them. Sorry? He'd be eating them, wouldn't he?

[00:14:28]A feral cat would still kill and kill and kill.

[00:14:30]Yeah, but he would know how to kill. He wouldn't play in the way that He's getting there. He's getting there.

[00:14:37]As I said, I mean if he just kills if he kills the thing outright, then that's that's okay.

[00:14:45]I mean what we really want is the cat to urinate all over the place and say look I'm here so that the wildlife that doesn't like cats and wants to be in there's plenty of space for them to go where the cat won't go.

[00:15:01]And then he could go and they could go and live over there and the cat, you know, it's really just to protect them.

[00:15:06]But anyway, we have to have the cat here cuz we can't leave him at home. We are sort of in that trap. And I'm sure many people get into that trap when they move. Perhaps they move into the country from a town and they take their cats and the cats start going oh, hang on a minute. This is a playground.

[00:15:25]I'll be interested in your thoughts on that.

[00:15:28]But, don't be nasty.

[00:15:31]Don't be nasty.

[00:15:33]I don't want to moan about the comments too much.

[00:15:38]But, isn't it funny?

[00:15:39]People cannot write comments these days.

[00:15:44]Maybe ever since they could write comments, I don't know, without you know, thinking about the effect that comment might have on the person who's talking. We've all got an opinion.

[00:15:55]And we all express our opinion. I mean, I don't give a monkeys what people say in the comments, personally. But, some people attack other people. And I think that's a bit unfair, isn't it? Nobody's, you know, Why My mom always used to say, "If you haven't got anything nice to say, say nothing."

[00:16:14]Thank you.

[00:16:15]That might be my mother reincarnated, actually.

[00:16:21]You never know, do you? You never know.

[00:16:23]Do you ever get that feeling that you are either being watched by a parent, if they've gone, if your parents have gone, your mom and dad, do you ever get that feeling they might somehow, somewhere, in some fashion, be looking at you? Do you ever feel that you're going to look over your shoulder and think, um, well, Julia doesn't cuz her parents are still around. But, do you ever get that feel I mean, I do every now and again. I If I look in the mirror, I sort of see my dad, not just because I'm beginning to look like him when he was older and more in my memory, but I'll see, I don't know, some sort of reflection of my dad, and I'll think, "Ooh, is he looking at me approvingly or disapprovingly?

[00:17:08]And has his passing changed him? Here's another question about death. Now, I was going to get on to a morbid expression, but we're talking about life and death life and death of shrews and voles and mice and what have you.

[00:17:22]But here's another thing about life and death.

[00:17:26]What was it?

[00:17:28]I've just distracted myself from the from the Oh, look, I've got my red one now. I didn't realize I had both of them. Let's see if that one lights.

[00:17:34]Oh, yeah.

[00:17:42]What I was going to say was This is the great thing about a pipe.

[00:17:52]You can sort of, you know, pause whilst you try to remember what it is you were going to say or think of an answer or think of something completely different and then say that instead of what you were going to say. Nobody would know.

[00:18:04]Except now I've told you.

[00:18:10]Do you remember You know, if you think if you're, you know, somebody a loved one has has died, how do you remember them? Do you remember them as the age they were when they had died or do you remember them when they were younger?

[00:18:26]I mean, I sometimes try to remember my dad or my mom when they were in their prime cuz when they were in their prime, I was in my what my my early teens, I suppose, or my my, you know, 10, 11, 12 when they were in their what depends what you call their prime, of course. I mean, I suppose uh they would have been about 30 when I was born. So, they would have been about 40, 45.

[00:18:55]Would that be your prime? I mean, uh sometimes I feel I'm in my prime now.

[00:18:59]W- Are you in your prime now? I mean, we are only alive now. Whatever happened in the past is gone.

[00:19:07]Um and whatever is going to happen in the future has yet to happen. We're only alive now. So, I suppose we are in our prime now. It's It's what we do with it and how we think about it.

[00:19:20]Didn't want to get too deep and philosophical in this one, but um You know, what What we don't want, I suppose, as we get older, is to think that when we die, we will have or just before we die, that there are regrets, things that we wanted to do that we couldn't do. Now, I suppose we're always going to have some regrets because some things that we thought we wanted to do were just outside our reach.

[00:19:49]Uh you know, I mean, some people might want to travel around the world. They've never had enough money or they've always been busy or they've had to look after elderly parents or you know, a myriad of other things could have come along to prevent them from doing whatever it was they wanted to do.

[00:20:05]And how do we deal with that? Do we just go oh well, shrug our shoulders, but still carry the pain of I wanted to do that, but I never got the opportunity or I never took the risk. I mean, that's another one, isn't it?

[00:20:22]Whether you take the risk on something.

[00:20:26]I always take the risk that Julia might at any minute now splash me with the watering can if I say something wrong.

[00:20:32]Are you tempting me? No, I'm not tempting you. Thank you.

[00:20:36]Um and she hasn't as yet.

[00:20:39]Not maliciously.

[00:20:42]I know what you're all going to be saying, Richard, you're sitting there while the woman is doing all the work.

[00:20:48]But, I have done some work today. Thank you very much.

[00:20:52]Um can't remember what it was now, but I did do something. I'm sure I did.

[00:20:56]Anyway, Very important work. Very important work, yes. And I probably will do some more very important work in a minute.

[00:21:03]I've got to wash up, I think. Wash up the dishes and wash up the cups and plates and things.

[00:21:08]And maybe get the dinner on.

[00:21:11]What are you having tonight?

[00:21:14]Well, we were going to have burgers, but we had burgers at lunchtime. Did you have a burger at lunchtime?

[00:21:19]Uh, no, I had ribs.

[00:21:22]She had ribs.

[00:21:23]Yeah. Oh, there's a pheasant um a duel going on over there.

[00:21:28]Oh, yes, it's great fun watching um we're talking about life and death, you know, these pheasants, the two [ __ ] It's like cockfighting.

[00:21:40]I can't tell you what I used to think cockfighting meant when I was a young lad.

[00:21:45]When I heard the term cockfighting, you know, historic, I had this impression that people didn't have any trousers on.

[00:21:55]Yes, thanks, Mom.

[00:21:56]That one was Mom, even though it's a [ __ ] Funny, isn't it?

[00:22:00]Not really. Um How do we deal with those regrets or do we have regrets? I mean, this is the thing. It comes back to this. I mean, there's a lot of people talking about living in the moment at the moment.

[00:22:15]Especially on YouTube. There's a lot of people focusing on that. It's become It's almost become a bit of a fad, isn't it? On YouTube. You find that? Somebody talks about it and the next minute, of course, YouTube will offer you up all the other people who are saying exactly the same thing. We're living now in the moment now. But is an interesting question.

[00:22:36]You can't live in the moment now all the time.

[00:22:42]I mean, you've got to plan for the future, haven't you? You've got to do things. I mean, some people and I get this, this is a philosophical thing.

[00:22:50]Some people will say, you know, and and you know, you are the you and not your thoughts.

[00:22:56]The you is not your name. I go along with all of that. That if you if you strip away everything, you are just some form of consciousness.

[00:23:05]And really in a way you're watching everything unfold. You You're watching your body do the things that it does.

[00:23:12]You're watching the world. And And then there others that say, "Well, all of this is just a big hallucination. It's not actually real."

[00:23:19]And that's, you know, I do kind of go along with a bit of that.

[00:23:24]But if you focus on you're just consciousness and you're just observing all the time, there is the There is the risk, I suppose, that you could stop doing anything because you're just observing.

[00:23:40]Everything is not real. Everything is an observation until you don't actually do anything.

[00:23:47]And you know, you might just spend your whole life, as some of these gurus sort of say, you know, meditating, being in the moment, and what have you. And you think, well, that's sooner or later, though, we are on this, whatever it is, this planet, this thing.

[00:24:05]We are here, surely, to experience it.

[00:24:09]Otherwise, why are we here? So, if you're just observing and you don't do anything, you're not really experiencing and you're not learning.

[00:24:18]And I have to say that in my life I've learned because I failed at so many things.

[00:24:24]Um I've learned so much. We learn by not achieving in many ways. When you achieve something, you you learn a certain amount, but it depends how much it took you to achieve. Sometimes it takes, you know, great strain, great pain, great time, and determination, tenacity, to get to a certain point. And then you can think, yeah, actually I did learn a hell of a lot from that. If things are given to you on a plate, and things just fall into place, and there are people that that just seems to happen to, and you go, "Bloody hell, that was very lucky."

[00:24:59]But, have they learned anything if they've not had to have trial and error?

[00:25:13]Lots of different thoughts in this one, isn't there?

[00:25:19]And the thing is I could go, you know, and enjoy this sort of verbal mishmash.

[00:25:31]I enjoy exploring ideas in in this sort of fashion of just sitting and pontificating about what life is or things, you know, that sort of the minutiae of life, that the miscellany of life, this this sort of little I mean, you know, when I read books, I'm not really into great adventure stories where I mean, I used to be as a young kid, you know, Alistair MacLean and those sort of stories and um who else were there? Dick Francis, didn't really read much of Dick Francis.

[00:26:06]Some of the classics that you know, like the Arthur Conan Doyle type things.

[00:26:11]Um and um even Clive Cussler I had a time of reading. Oh, and who was the Dennis Wheatley with The Devil Rides Out and and a number of his books, you know, you get into certain authors. At the moment I'm wading my way through PDF not PDF R. F. Delderfield.

[00:26:30]And what I like about R. F. Delderfield and Norman Collins is another writer that I really enjoy is sort of set in about the 1950s and 60s and and sometimes earlier and the sort of miniature almost insignificant detail.

[00:26:47]The thing about um say Norman Collins was the the the sort of you know, bus tickets and making cups of tea and the the the ducks on the wall and the the sort of fussy wallpaper and and I I like reading about that sort of detail of ordinary everyday sort of drabness in a way, but they write so beautifully that it is fascinating because these days we don't have that fastidious fussiness anymore.

[00:27:20]Everything is quite bland. The houses are bland, the buses are bland, the trains are bland, the cars are bland.

[00:27:27]Life generally is quite bland. And you go back to say the 1940s, everything was analog, everything had handles and knobs and levers. You know, you you you caught things. Um you had body language. You you could you spoke on the telephone, you had to put money into a telephone.

[00:27:50]You bought things with pound, shillings, and pence. You had green shield stamps.

[00:27:55]Um you had you know, people went round with rent books. You you rented your television. I rented my television from Rumbelows.

[00:28:04]Um and and life was it had all these sort of weird little complications, this um fascinating fastidious nonsense, really. And now it's apps.

[00:28:18]It's it's downloads, it's the internet, it's on a smartphone, it's swipe this way, it's swipe that way, it's it's, you know, do this.

[00:28:27]Yes, thank you. And this is what I like about being on the land. You know, we've seen Julia walk past demonstrating exactly what we're doing. We're we're fiddling about with wheelbarrows and watering cans.

[00:28:41]And um we're you know, we're weeding out the plants by Here she comes.

[00:28:47]Slaving away. I'll have a glass of that, please.

[00:28:50]Thank you.

[00:28:52]It actually did splash you. Yes, cheers.

[00:28:54]Don't worry about that. Yeah, that's all right.

[00:28:55]>> Where's the glass?

[00:28:56]>> Uh oh, it's >> Oh, I forgot. It's a mime glass.

[00:28:59]>> glass, yeah.

[00:29:00]My mate, you go.

[00:29:02]I've got to wrap this up because I've got to get on and do some fastidious washing up with boiling the kettle.

[00:29:07]Christmas paper? Christmas paper wrapped it up. Wrap it, yes. There you go.

[00:29:11]Um and there's something there is something, I suppose, if we weren't in the now, if we weren't in this modern era, I wouldn't be looking back at that time with such a nostalgic interest.

[00:29:27]If I was there, perhaps I'd be looking back another 50 years earlier than that and thinking they got it right with rush lights and candles and living with no electricity and, you know, get being a laborer, I might you know, might be looking back at that. But I do look at look back at that that somehow it seems even though it may be rose-tinted glasses, it does seem that there's an element of roman- romanticism. There's an element of living, of doing things, of actually having the experience.

[00:29:56]You're not just You are living in the moment, but you're dealing and con- and conquesting things. Whereas I don't know that we really the sort of conquests we have today are very bland again. It's the uglification of life that is is going on. I don't know whether you feel that, whether it's me, whether it's just as you get older, you start to think it you know, you're just got to sit down in front of a screen and everything happens. And I like to get out and, you know, plod and do things. And And that's come back to the pipe.

[00:30:30]That's finishing off, ladies and gentlemen, the pipe. And the the paraphernalia of poking the tobacco into the pipe, choosing the different tobaccos, of of having a different lighter, of all sorts of different tampers, all sorts of different flavors, all sorts of different ways of smoking a pipe.

[00:30:49]Thank you.

[00:30:51]I've run out.

[00:30:53]All of that, the the paraphernalia of life, it's just magic, and that pipe is something from the past that I cling to. I cannot put it in any other way, but I cling to that, and it makes me feel alive.

[00:31:12]There we are, life and death with the pipe and him and him and his pipe. Thank you for watching.

[00:31:22]Thank you for that. I'm sorry you had to witness blood, sweat, and tears from the lovely Julia, and noth- nonsense nostalgia.

[00:31:35]Enjoy yourselves. I will hopefully chat to you next week about more Yes.

[00:31:44]More stuff. We are surrounded by [ __ ] [ __ ] hens or [ __ ] pheasants, whatever they're called.

[00:31:54]We are surrounded by them.

[00:31:56]>> [ __ ] horse.

[00:31:57]But no [ __ ] horse.

[00:31:58]Who was it who rode to Banbury Cross to see a fair maiden on a [ __ ] horse?

[00:32:03]Um Was it the cockle pickers? No. What?

[00:32:07]To see a fair Anyway, you'll tell me.

[00:32:10]Yeah.

[00:32:10]>> Was it the one with the long hair, Lady Godiva? No.

[00:32:13]>> No.

[00:32:14]No. Anyway, I I know I know what you're talking about. Yes.

[00:32:18]>> I can't think I'm I'm on a mission. Yes, she's on a mission, and I better go and get off my fat ass and do something.

[00:32:24]Thank you for watching. Look after yourself. I can't even smoke my pipe now, it's run out. Run out. Tudor pipe, ladies and gentlemen. Tudor pipe, see you next time.

[00:32:41]>> Mhm.
