Underscore Cumbria if you're using Twitter Goodfellow to Katie an IP because when I was on last week I was moaning about my shoes I had a pair of shoes not to come to the shoe repair or the cold blah to going to your call blah realm the corner. We're actually in town there because the soles of both of these shoes I hadn't worn them for that long they were actually coming off in a falling off there I was wondering long and thought clip I heard this clicking noise I thought was that clicking noise is. A bonus gone stiff so it turned out it was clicking on on one of the shoes there are check them when I got in them both the soles are nearly off so I took them to the complimentary cobbler. It was quite friendly actually. Took picked him up about 3 or 4 days later he charged me 8 pounds 50 more than once and we were back to square one again they fell off but anyway Katie analogy was listening and she's give me a little bit of advice about the type of glue to get and also the shock to get it from Ok and I'll have a go at that Katie because they're not my shoes actually and I'll let you know basically if it works. Whatever happened to The Turtles. Imagine. That you dig it. To think about the good. And bad. To. Be. A chance. To. Enjoy. And. It passed the dance to. Them. Coming soon to be. Known. As the.

Leave us alone. Ok then. Hasn't returned Katie because Katie I see has quite a few red squirrels from you know I'd be. Running around a garden and around the woods and whatever disappeared Christine inquiring about that as well know when did he disappear my school or on I think it was I think it might have been. About April my Actually no sign of him since I'm hoping he's going to come back with a girlfriend and some children but it actually hasn't happened yet I do look out the feeder every day. And I've got hazel nuts and I do check them and there's no sign of the hazelnuts disappearing so I guess that he's not around or she's not around I didn't know he was a boy or a girl anyway and I guess I'll have to probably change the old hazelnut soon won't because they'd be going a bit rotten. Hell does your Saturday supermarket trip go. This is me on a Saturday evening off to the soul to Motown show because I always go to the supermarket on the way home does anyone stop you and ask if you're the famous John mine as they can't be many presents that drive a red car like yours nobody actually does stop me in Austria not tell you the reason why. Because I always wear a Planet Of The Apes mosque when I go shopping. We were together. Since. She was so busy and over the star in here every one of them. When she says to be a movie queen. It's a vase like me being in Maine. And the me. And I am. Going to write your name high on that service me. Emmy. And I am. Going to make you the biggest office love the c. . 17.

It was enemy. And. Block your long sleeves leave. Me lose. A major look at the style of. The seat. To the clothes. Blood come up with. A love letter last long being a. Little. Long. But I just can't keep all the long. Tried some of the long lol. I just sleep last. Late last. That was for Lind in Leyland it almost rhymes that us there and I did actually play that 3 or 4 weeks ago on the show because I haven't actually played it for years but I played it again for you because you requested it last week I need a week's notice to put these things in the computer that was hot chocolate and Emily Christine says What is the joke theme tonight is a any theme anything that you want anything that you want Also we're going to say hello to were Doreen in pyro. Hi John Somebody was talking about your haunted studio the other week I'm not sure which presenter it was but have you found anything sinister. That's a very sinister thing is going on actually at the moment in my studio here is I can't switch off the t.v. I've tried to switch the t.v. Off with the remote control. And the thing on the screen says the check the aerial cable connection and check the safe channels that I just can't switch it off and I'm not sure where the main switch of it is I'm frightened to unplug anything in case I put myself off air so I'm just going to leave it so if anybody comes in 1st thing in the moon's do the early breakfast show I think it's Simon actually back on to an early breakfast tomorrow. My apologies you'll find the t.v. Still on which isn't very good is it but I might actually when I finish the show at midnight and Harry's on all the art of another go at it enough can't do anything I will unplug it. And keep my fingers crossed and actually hope for the best one way or another but anyway you're on the creepy side of things no I think possibly you're referring or one of the presenters My been prefer referring to were hilltop Heights who used to broadcast from hilltop heights on many donkeys years ago now in Carlisle there and when I 1st arrived at Radio Cumbria many years ago I've sort of left several times and come back you know. I was told it was haunted which wasn't very nice really but I never actually found anything at all I don't actually believe in ghosts or the supernatural the only thing that worries me is the tax man in the vat man. You know what I may. Go a. Long . The to. Cut. Cut cut. Cut cut cut cut cut. Cut. Cut cut cut cut. Cut. Cut cut Cut cut. Poll really enjoy. I think they like to do on the breakfast shows don't they they they chat away there and it's very very lively almost to prep for shows and then it sort of goes into one record after the other which is great if you like music the seventy's eighty's there's 90 stations aren't there and it's fantastic spac ground music there. Must be really boring for the presenters I could do that actually on the on the Sunday late show here we could have 10 or 10. And 1111 and that might actually just fill up the last hour what do you think maybe not a good idea is it a Christine John Brian comedy was once asked of by woman I hope you don't mind but you remind me of Bryan Connelly No offense I couldn't stop laughing. Says Christine Hyde to Dave in Preston our couple more jokes what is the difference between a market gardener and this new complier one mind sees peas in the other minds these cues are I saw that coming but thank you very much indeed for that Dave hard to join and be a 1st time contact on the show all that's great is fantastic and new listeners Well new listeners coming forward anyway Jenny Dobbs got a little joke here why did the chicken run on to the football pitch because the ref blew a foul assoon as you are a 1st time contact Jane are let your off. I'll let you off I want to tell you Bob really is it not a. Bit by. Bit by. The next thing that. We was all. In but. When it does all that. We will go all right. What's. Wrong With good. Good. Long long. Long long. Long long. Haul of love something that. A day goes by. A black dog that. Humans are. But. All that. We were going. Wrong. What I. That seemed to the song and. All day. Long on drugs. What thought. To the. Odd thing. Something about. Something. That's. Something. We've used for more than 40 years small in my soul so strong the closest supporters the jigsaw charity partnership this was made on the right jumping out of an airplane at 14000 feet. When he came to it when it came to the. Lost for words. In the book there is nothing they can. For about 14000 feet somebody. Or how pretty normal everyday life. Is small. With you. Just thinking about. Figaro's all Royal Scot. I can't make a decision I prefer digest if I say they're my favorite biscuits of all time trouble is they do drop off don't they pretty quickly when you put them in your 2 you know your coffee there but you always find them at the bottom don't you catch. Nice and soggy the on the subject of grub it must be nearly Christmas you know we do start celebrating it about 4 months earlier we were talking about the pop up t.v. Stations are think it's true Christmas and also there's the Sony Christmas channel there now if you do like Christmas movies or look at what you can see over the next week what do you think mince pies the only good thing is mince pies of arrived in l.d. Amaurosis and indulgences when I was actually down south last week and then went into bunches there so the old mints part. Of. It must be nearly Christmas I do like a nice mince pie with me coffee do you. Also in the news this week hurrican Berto is on the way does anybody know anything about there are for just a little so a headline but it doesn't actually say anything is it on the way when's it will it is overseas on the way I don't know whether it's going to arrive I hope it will be Mrs ass hurrican Humbert I'll have to google that and Peaky Blinders it was the last episode b.b.c. One tonight apparently the last episode I have been watching I didn't see last week's. And obviously I've not seen this week's As I've been on air here I don't see on a watching the telly I have seen presenters do that by the way sit on they're doing their shows watching the telly Can you believe I do actually have the telly on when it works I just have b.b.c. News 24 and so I can keep an eye on the on sort of what's going on one way and another. Blind is absolutely brilliant also on the telly there strictly I think it didn't start a new series this week. You were right about the curse of strictly apparently if you're a married couple you're likely to split up if you go on on Strictly. Being an extremely minor celebrity are never ever likely to I wouldn't go on in our county even dance anyway. Yeah parity if you're a married couple you go on it you're likely to split off split run off with your dancing partner. Apparently. It's the final from. The final frontier offering this we guess when the the record collection will go back home with me tonight I'm a little box there on the Kama Sutra label 7 in church. A classic of course summer in the city by the love in spring fall and it really still is exciting actually I think I was really excited when I 1st heard it on the radio many years ago and it's just exactly the same now absolutely timeless we do it again next week on the vinyl from gramophone is working all right in the studio which is the main thing. Here on b.b.c. Radio Cumbria I'm on till midnight tonight as per usual and then it's Harry King midnight 2 or 3 Don't miss it would be here's a joke. Why didn't the skeleton go to the party you had nobody to go with Alright alright alright you cheer me up tonight with your jokes. Good music. Night tonight . Right this. No. You. Say. No. You. Can't. Do. This. A plenty of relaxing music to come your way between a midnight then Harry the boy king is here with his form of entertainment and great music as well why was this of great interviews to Disney Harriet's Harry King at midnight through 2 or 3 o'clock in the morning I reminded my salary is back after a week off he said is alarming just having a look at his tweet he said is alarm and he's looking forward to coming back to do the breakfast show tomorrow morning you do get out of the routine don't you if your body clock has to change flight me for last week I finished the show of course at midnight drove home got in about 1 in the morning had a snack in a little snifter. Drag myself up to bed at 2 o'clock the alarm went off at 430. Got myself ready left the house about 515. And drove to Carlisle airport checked in and had a coffee and some toast their very very nice indeed Mrs mc in their coffee and toast. Boarded the 26 seater plane the air hostess was lovely really really friendly got a complimentary drink and a snack on the plane there flew down to Southend on Sea airport they search I call it London south and it's nowhere near Is it really but anyway we go along with our . London Southend airport. Checked out there really really quickly because obviously not many people on board the aircraft are but you're going to point fingers I mean saying you're blaming carbon footprint but the thing is really in reality in reality it would have taken 2 tanks of diesel Oh of let it slip now got a diesel vehicle even though I was told that. I shouldn't but I should go out and buy one because it was less polluting so I did I got a diesel vehicle about 80 quid now it's gone up quite a bit actually 80 quid a tank so it's 2 tanks a diesel Well the the flight was 100 pounds return so there we are it's a bit of a no brainer isn't it got out the airport Jets got into checked out at the airport walked in through the airport the. Through to the car park picked up the hire car drove into Brighton. An hour and 20 minutes that was it I mean normally you'd spend about 67 hours wouldn't you on the motorway trying to get down south or wherever you're going to go there and every time you 2 tend to do the trip it gets worse and worse and worse. Particularly with these smart motorways as well I never know whether I'm sort of coming or going then you never know when the next set of road works are to you and I do feel sorry for people who actually have to rely on Dr Vrba living like cabbies and long distance truck drivers on my way home from Radio Cumbria in the early hours heading into Scotland they're on the 75 there's truck after truck after truck heading down to Carlisle and obviously picking up the m 6 motorway down there pretty well and you think the southeast guys you know they're probably going to be driving all night and they have to load up don't they and help her offload at the other end and I tell you what I take my hat off to them and I don't even wear one don't even wear one so there we are. You know so in about mince pies arrived in the shop and I was talking about Christmas was nice seems exotic come up earlier and earlier and earlier and I mean you can't blame people can you because they get all their money into don't they if the retailers over Christmas but. I remember Christmas years and years ago when I lived with my mom I'm a man and Christmas the Christmas tree would actually go up on Christmas Eve It was always a real tree never are done if I think they are actually invented artificial trees when I was. Getting so old now. And the ants and the uncles in the councils would come over on Boxing Day for a meal then the tree in the decorations came down on the 12th night and that was it all over Father Christmas used to come. On Christmas Eve and I used to see the like I was too scared to open my eyes because I was told I'd get into trouble he wouldn't leave me any present so I keep my eyes closed and see the bedroom light go on and I'd hear all the rustling in the presents going on the bottom of the pad and a Susie cleared off I'd try and open them but that was it that was great that was great in those days but anyway I'm a bit of a humbug really nowadays on about it but what I'll do just to prove that I'm not totally Scrooge. All of a quick look online and see what's a Christmas movie I want you next week. Or 224 hour pop up channels there on the satellite t.v. Showing nothing but Christmas movies. Which they've been doing since the 1st of September. You. See. The leadership. Pallies ph d. With Jim Diamond I won't let you down again they came again and again are going to me here if you have Christmas maniac you can look at the Sony Christmas movies and true Christmas there started rolling on the 1st of September there are actually some pop pop radio channels as well on online the playing nothing but Christmas music we present is on the can you imagine that having to play Christmas records for about 4 or 4 months. Who you get home from work when you could you measure me you probably can you can imagine me both you know they're just themed radio stations and t.v. Stations really aren't they I don't know if I've mentioned this before I think I might have done but I do tend to repeat myself nowadays but do correct me if I go on about it but a friend of mine was in Fort Lauderdale quite a few years ago now and picked up this radio station it was actually somewhere out of Fort Lauderdale in the desert that was like a tower with a radio station on the top of it and of an aerial broadcasting nothing but Elvis Presley records it was called Elvis Presley radio I don't know if after Google it might still be on Actually after a look at it Elvis Presley's radio and all the presenters dressed up as Elvis and spoke like Al vs and played nothing but which music obviously so yeah check this out this is on one of the Christmas channels you can watch Christmas a lot they tend to come round and round again throughout the week Christmas loads and then moonlight mistletoe a doggone Christmas Santa is dog and the 12 dogs of Christmas and also Christmas pony. The stuff of goodness I. Don't understand it really. Say. a greetings to Lisa thank you for a lovely afternoon I hope you stay dry it's pretty rough wasn't it today. And also just logged in and enjoying the show and are going to listen to a little bit of Harry as well but not tonight there is Diane and Jack in County Antrim. and put them around my wrist because I want to get into the fashion model would go up similarly puffy a.t.l.

Anyway moving swiftly on what we got for you in the last hour of the show great music coming your way the Human League Marvin Gay Eagles are also going to do a double play from the low because they got a reissued album out he's got some of their early stuff and some of their later stuff so I'm going to pick a couple of tracks off that I think we do some Roxy Music and eagles as well just to name one or 2 including this one from the cars.
