Stacey Roca. Who was unrecognisable in The Expanse to when I first saw her in season 2 of this epic sitcom (that’s Lydia Malouf. In the red dress behind David Brent)

I still recall channeling my Captain Holden when my retina was detached twice. Three probes into my eyeball. Lovely stuff

I love me a Morrigan Class MCRN fast boat. In an alt universe I have my own pimped up version speeding around the system with my brosephs in tow. Oye Dusters!!!

Great pod as always Gareth. I became a spurs fan in 82. But I had little recollection of The General as a 7 year old. Nor Pleat in 87. After Italia 90 I became obsessed with footie and gravitated back to Spurs. Mabbs was my skipper. Links & Gazza the stars. Terry was my first gaffer 🤍

Gotta say- season 4 doesn’t have the most quotable lines - but that’s just an excuse to rewatch it and commit it to memory

Banning certain press corps is a story in itself. I’m waiting for the govt to just get on with running the country and quietly exclude the Chief Exec. There was a time when the President was the least important part of the machine (pre TR)

We didn’t have sky at home in Harrow, and I’d just finished Med School a few months earlier. So I sauntered up to a pub in my locality. Sat with a pint like billy no mates. Watched a terrible match. Screamed by myself at the last minute. Duly pulled my top over my head

Listening to this now. Memories flooding back. And I loved Andy Turner. Mainly because he’s born two months after me and I still recall keeping an eye out for a player who was my age- tearing it up in 1992/93. I think his squad number next season (17) was one of my “lucky” numbers too

Thanks Gareth. Looking forward to you cheering us up with season 1997-98 and North London winning the double again… … oh hang on 😫

Lovely stuff. And heartwarming at the end. We never stop looking after our kids. My youngest with severe ASD has ARFID- only eats goodfellas marguerita pizzas. The Gastroenterology team weren’t prepared to get involved unless his wt dropped critically. So must’ve been tough for Gerry & son

If we’re your biggest critics it’s because the pod is so wonderful. Just drove to work and I’m reassessing the 95/96 season
