Do you want to start? Yeah. Question? Yes. So speaking of pink ladies, is it true that anything
more than a handful is a waste? I don't think so. Is that a bloody good job? I mean unless you're
like Lola Ferrari on Eurotrash in which case yeah that's a bit much. Yeah. Yeah. So you need sort
of uh yeah dustbin lid hands. Like seven hands for each boob. Anyway. This is Lightly Used with Adam
and Karen. Hello everyone and welcome to episode 15 of Lightly Used with your hosts. This one to my
right. Hello. I'm to Karen's right. And his name is? Adam. And I'm to my centre I guess and to Adam's
left and I'm Karen. Hey you're right there. Right where you are. I'm left here. Well left to you.
Middle to you. Yeah middle to me. Exactly where you are. That's where you are. I am, I am where I am.
Wherever you go that's where you are. I tell you where I'm really glad that I'm not
in the lift in my building that got stuck with someone in it at the basement. Oh no I've been
stuck in the lift once. Yeah not a fun experience. I don't know how long they were there. They were
there long enough for me to ring maintenance and say one of the lifts is stuck and the other one's
bouncing like it's on bungee cords and the woman was like yeah there's someone stuck in the lift.
And why would you jump up and down if you're stuck in the lift? No the lift that was stuck was stuck
at the basement. The other lift was bouncing up and down like it was on bungee cords because I was
going to the laundry room and I genuinely nearly sh** myself. Oh the very bottom bit. Yeah. Oh
right sorry see what you mean. It's like when it was coming to a stop it would like go past the
floor then back up to the floor then back down to the floor. It did like like three or four little
bounces before it settled. Sure though you're in the basement and just pry the doors open and use
the stairs? I don't know I think this is going to sound really bad but I think it's going to be
really bad. But I think the lifts are anti-disabled person because the only people that I know that
have got stuck in that lift have been people that use wheelchairs and motability scooters.
It can tell. It knows. I get away with it because I've just got a walking stick. Swagger stick.
You know last episode you mentioned I bought a new sofa. Yes you did buy. We're sat on right now.
A two seat recliner. £110 from Air Ambulance Wales. Thank you very much. Now the backs didn't
seem to come off the sofa in the shop so we struggled to get it in the van. It was a big
old faff so I've got my old sofa most the way down the stairs. My stairs has got two 90 degree
turns in it so I got it stuck on the very last one. Pivot! I needed someone I thought yeah this
needs to be pushed out and lifted up at the same time. I can't do it from up the top of the stairs
and I'm definitely going to try it from the bottom of the stairs. God no! I'll wait till I have some
help. So I got my dad in to help move that old sofa out the way and got the new sofa in from the van.
People at the charity shop they didn't know it came apart and their method of moving it around
the shop was terrible. I'd optimistically shown up there with a little hand trolley. I thought
right I'll just take the backs off and it'll be the base soon it'll need it but we will drown.
It would have been possible with somebody's help but the fact that we had to take it intact through
the shop took three of us. Oh god! Well one was a spotter and bringing the trolley that I'd have to
leave in the shop behind. Was that the nice lady from behind the tilt? No no two chaps I've never
seen before. Yeah I don't know why the staff didn't know the backs came off but surely at some point
you've got to have moved it through the shop to get here although having said that when I did get
the backs off the amount of dust that was down there I don't think it came off for a while.
Yeah so I've given that a good clean out. Any power coins? Fibres? No no treasures. That's a
shame. It would have made the whole thing so much easier moving through the shop through the back
through the loading bay getting in the back of the van and you see one of my forearms is like
sorely 20 or 30 percent bruised now. Yeah I said a little. It almost loops around. Yeah I said a
little while ago you looked like you'd been smacked with a cricket bat and you you genuinely do look
like you've been smacked with a cricket bat. I'm shocked at the state of that bruise genuinely.
It's a massive awful bruise. I saw her defending myself against the blow but holding my arm
inside out against the blow. That's asking for it. It really is. I do have a bit of a correction from
last episode as well. The Esso Tiger tokens I said oh wonder when they ran out and you accused me
of not doing my research which is fair enough I absolutely didn't. Now I have. An episode late.
They ran from 1986 to 1996 in my catalogs from the penultimate year. Wow. And they ran and I
mentioned in the participating stores bit as I figured that Tiger tokens were across Esso and
you mentioned I know some franchisees may have opted in to do it. There was a huge legal battle
in 2003. Really? About who'd foot the bill for the Tiger token gifts Esso or the franchise holders.
The case was ruled in favour of Esso and the license holder's appeal was dismissed. What?
A copy of the same catalog I've got £18 that sold for online. Fuck off. So I did quite a bit of
research and episode too late for the thing I was showing off. I was going to say retrospective
research doesn't count but you've got a genuine shock out of me so I appreciate you doing your
hard work eventually. But it gave me a research that it'll look into this lawsuit between the Esso
and the franchise holders. I can't believe they've ruled in favour of Esso. I mean who am I talking
about? Of course I can believe they ruled in favour of Esso. Stupid Chesters. Unless they didn't do
exactly what you said. Participating story. Do we have to participate? You participated.
I don't know if that's legally what it boiled down to. Yeah yeah. I am not a lawyer. I don't
play one on the internet either. You are a Reverend though. This is true. Yeah come back to me with
you know ecumenical matters. I'll be fine. Alright Father Ted. Came in handy. Good reference actually.
I love a bit of old school.
Coming up of the show today we've got Johnny Turnip and Friends. They hunt the homo trotter
in Lightly Used News. We try and guess what tat we've brought in in Tat in the Box. We've got a
10 minute game break and it's Karen's choice to end the show in bibliothet. Lucky lucky people.
It's time for this episode's lightly used news from the Abergavenny Chronicle on the 10th of June
2024 from Tim Butters. An Abergavenny man wants people they seek eternal youth at their peril.
An Abergavenny man has warned people not to chase rainbows or eternal life after he was persuaded
by a psychic called Steve to do some pretty outlandish things and a foolhardy quest to live
forever. In hindsight I can see we were blindsided by ambition and immortality to really question
what we were doing at the time recalls semi-professional long distance runner
Johnny Turnip. But when you're lost in the forest and your mind is fried from sleep deprivation and
acid it's easy to think hunting pigs while naked is normal. Looking back I can see we'd been
hoodwinked a little by psychic Steve. I feel his intentions were good but I think he'd been mixed
up in necromancy for so long and spent so much time in the company of cult leaders like Earl
Elderflower that he didn't know the difference between reality and fantasy anymore. And as it
turns out his brand of crazy was quite contagious. What began as an innocent illegal wild boar hunt
in the forest of Dean became a little more complicated for Turnip and his mates when they
were spiked with acid by psychic Steve and his supposedly 500 year old sidekick Indiana Jenkins.
Once the LSD had made their minds receptive to be moulded by those with dark intent
psychic Steve told them the story of the homo trotter who was like a werewolf but a pig version
that had haunted the forest of Dean for over a thousand years. He claimed the blood of immortality
ran through the supernatural boar's veins like the river of the damned and all Turnip and his
mates had to do was kill the homo trotter, drink its blood and they too would live forever.
It all sounded so plausible the way he told it explained Turnip and when he said we had to hunt
the crazy eternal pig creature naked by the light of the moon or it smelled civilization on us before
we could get close it sounded like simple common sense. Turnip recalled once we discarded all our
clothes it was a bit embarrassing because we didn't know where to look but as soon as Puerto Rico Paul
picked up a shotgun and screamed "He who dares!" we felt like men again and it was time for the killing to
commence. Turnip explained that with psychic Steve and Indiana Jenkins leading the way the rest of
them brought up the rear. It was night time at this point so we'd forgotten we were all naked
explained Turnip. We were just men in the wilderness bonding over a shared love of hunting unsuspecting
animals. The only difference is this time we were in pursuit of immortality. Turnip added at one
point we thought we'd closed in on the homo trotter and formed a circular and a suspicious looking
bush where we detected movement. Puerto Rico Paul aimed and let the beast have both barrels.
As the smoke cleared and we investigated further it turns out Paul had simply blown the head off a
poor rabbit. "You idiot!" Snarled Big Tony. "You've just alerted the whole forest we're here!" Before
Paul could stick up his two fingers in reply it's psychic Steve scream "He's coming run you fools!"
As we turned we saw the biggest more imaginable bearing down on us. I kid you not he had red
demonic eyes and sort of fangs that could cut through steel. There was no way we were taking
this swine out of the game. Eternal life would have to wait for another day. We were trespassing
in Lord Pig's kingdom and he wanted us gone. Turnip told the Chronicle thankfully psychic Steve was
standing in King Pig's path and he suffered the full brunt of its savagery. Tossed him up in the
air like a ragdoll and when he fell to earth you could tell by his screams he got a really
nasty towards the end. If we thought we could have saved him we would but Paul was out of ammo and I
don't think even Big Tony could have knocked out a wild pig with his blood up. As we ran and the
pig's hellish grunts mixed with Steve's dying howls filled our ears we felt terrible mainly
because we realized we were all still naked. Turnip explained that after five minutes of running they
became aware of an almighty grunting noise made not by one but an army of pigs who'd emerged from
the shadows and given chase.... K: As if they left psychic Steve to die. A: Didn't have a choice in the matter.
K: Yeah it sounds like it. It happened so quickly. A: Your honour! K: Promise officer! If you've ever been chased by a wild pig you'll
know how terrifying and at the same time embarrassing it is. You can imagine what it felt like to have
about 500 hungry porkers on your tail with a scent of human flesh in the nostrils.
Our piggies were squealing with excitement and looked like Turnip was on the menu.
Turnip added just when it all seemed lost Big Tony forced us to a standstill and bellowed
"This ends here! I'm through running! If we die, we die - but I swear I've yet to eat my last bacon sandwich!"
Turnip said as battle speeches go it lacked a certain something. It didn't inspire Indy for sure.
He said "Sod this for a game of soldiers, I'm out of here!" and disappeared into the trees. Yet by acting
to the coward he'd drawn the pigs off our tail they headed after him and we were left with a
little breathing space to make our play and get the hell out of the forest. Turnip recalls that
naked and breathless of three friends just looked up at the night skies and the stars that sparkled
there before erupting in laughter. What else could we do said Turnip. We were naked with no weapons
booze or directions home but we were together - three chances on the make. The wilderness couldn't
defeat us the acid couldn't break us and the pigs wouldn't eat us. We'd be getting away with it all
our lives! And when my old mate Tom Cruise turned up in his chopper I knew for sure everything would
be all right. To be continued. K: That is one hell of an LSD trip.
It's time for my personal favorite segment of the show and Adam's least favorite just because of the jingle. It's time for Tat in the Box
Tat in the Box. Tat in the Box. Tat in the Box. Tat in the Box. Tat in the Box. Tat in the Box.
Oh my god I think I finally got the claps right. I think I've finally done it all of that going
through it in my head while I'm trying to go to sleep. I think I finally got the claps right.
Should I just copy and paste this one every week every episode? Yes please.
Yeah made my life so much easier. Right it's my turn to go first well to guess first. To guess
first yes correct okay. Right eyes are closed hands are out. Okay I can confirm eyes are closed
hands are out. Um yeah your hands are fine there. Really steady copper feel. Oh it's made of wood.
Congratulations. It's a block of wood with some holes at one end. One
two holes at one end and a little nubbing sticking out at the other. Oh really. It's a slightly...
rectangular nubbin with feels a little bit like key teeth. There's some I don't know if they're
fully drilled holes or just slight dimples on the top. A row of them. Okay.
Yeah running the length one row. Oh two rows. It's very satisfying when you're watching you
stroke my wood up and down. The whole length of the shaft. It's a good foot. Oh there's
is that something that's stuck in one of the holes? Correct. All right so there's two lots
of holes on either side. That's the label. Ah obviously it doesn't seem to be any feet
or anything at the bottom so it's definitely a bottom. Is it something for incense? No but I
mean you could use it for that. You get a hell of a lot of incense sticks in it. Oh hang on this
broken one's starting to come out. Is it some sort of chess with matchsticks?
Checkers or something? Well I mean it is for a game. Yeah I don't know many games.
Okay open your eyes I'll tell you what it is. Oh it's a Buckley's Welsh Ales promo something.
It looks oh is it meant to be dominoes? No it's a cribbage board. Oh I don't I've never seen
cribbage being played. Not many people play it these days. Oh it's got holes on both sides I'm
guessing. Is this to lock into another deck? The spinny round metal clasp? No so that wasn't the
nubbied. It would have had a cover on either end and then the drilled holes on either end would
have held the brass pins that would have come originally with it and then the little turny
things would have just kept them safe so they're like little locker boxes for your cribbage.
I've heard of a cribbage board. Yeah for those of you that don't know cribbage is a card game for
two players. It's a pretty old school game like you know like bridge I guess but bridge got kind of
fashionable like 20 years ago I think. It might have fallen out of fashion again now but yeah
so it's a game of cards for two players. I can't remember what the end goal is it's been such a
long time me and my mum usually just agree to a points a number of points and whoever gets like
101 first wins. I'm not going to go into the rules of the game because it's really quite complicated.
If you know how to play it brilliant I'll have a game with you anytime you like. If you don't know
how to play it there'll be hundreds of YouTube videos if you're really interested. Do you only
have to pay like your mum's room also if you're challenging someone? Well I mean is there another
version you could play? Are they the official rules? Our family is notorious for having in inverted
commas Chester's rules for many games. A previous partner of mine in particular took umbrage to how
we played Scrabble. So you may not actually enjoy playing cribbage with someone if they play actual
cribbage. I mean you could be playing a completely different game. I could be playing the wrong game
but as far as I know the game that me and my mum play together and I'm the only one that mum has
taught really how to play because I'm the only kid out of the four of us that liked playing card games
I play it the way mum taught me. I think you play cribbish.
Isn't that something with them um broomsticks and like balls or is that quidditch? Harry pot.
Yeah so mum learned to play um from her dad so if the rules I play are incorrect it's because
they've been whispered down the generations they may have been the correct rules to begin with. I
cannot state the true nature of them now so yeah challenge me to a game we'll see if we play the
same rules. So where does this block where where you put matchsticks or counters in come into a
card game? So is for how many rounds you've won or you can scoreboard? Each hole represents one point
or 10 points depending on where the peg is on the board. Now I can't give you more detail than that
because I don't know how to use these boards properly. I like them and I appreciate them
and mum has tried so many times to help me get my brain around how the pegs work and I can't do it
so we always just added our scores up on paper but from what I can recall there's 10 holes in each
like domino shape on the top so each of those is like one one point so that's 10 points but then
when you get to 11 points you leave one peg in there and then move your odd number peg into the
next one so say you get 13 points so you leave one there for 10. That entire block is for 10. Yeah
yeah you'd be one there for 10 and then you'd move a peg up and you do your three points then
when you get to 10 there you could then move the next peg up into the next I think. It's just like
a less involved abacus. Yeah no moving parts no moving parts apart from the little the little
turning stopper on the end. Is that where all the bits were kept in the end you said? Yeah you'd get
like little metal pegs they look like they mean they're just a round thin peg with like a little
skirt I guess like a peg with a washer on it very fine usually brass and they all live inside the
board and they all live inside the board until you lose the ends. So this is as Adam said a
Buckley's Welsh Ales Cribbage board I think it's from around the 1970s but it could be as early as
the 1950s it is very well loved and a little bit battered it looks to have been owned by an A.
Jones at some point because they've scratched their name into the back and there's a Rose plus Bill
scratched into the front which is cute although it did make me think of Fred and Rose West don't
know why I had to go through it in my brain that it wasn't Bill and Rose West it was Fred and Rose
West. My brain went to Rosie and Jim. No well you're a bit more wholesome. I listen to too many murder podcasts
so yeah so we've already gone through it's got it's a wooden board with 60 peg holes in it.
There are some matchsticks jammed into some of the holes Adam did manage to extract one but I think
he's diligently placed it back maybe or put it in the rubbish either way back in but when people lose
their pegs they swap them out for matchsticks they're the right size and the right shape and
you know if they cost nothing. Readily available in pots. Yes exactly back in the day this is very
tobacco, tobacco stained. It even smells a bit like old pub. I'm not sniffing your shaft of wood.
All right fine don't sniff my wood. I've sniffed your brick I won't sniff your plank. Oh god.
Gotta draw the line somewhere. I was gonna give you some sensible history there but you totally
put me off. Sorry. So Buckley's Brewery Limited was based in Lashley of all places. Very local.
Very local indeed. They were founded in 1769 by Henry Child. They became Buckley brothers in 1877
and they were tied to 120 public houses by 1894. I don't know if they were all in Wales or if
somewhere in other other parts of the British Isles. I'm guessing mostly local. Yeah probably.
They merged with Harp Lager in 1897 becoming Crown Buckley PLC and then Buckley regained its
independence in 1993 only to be closed in 1997 following another merger with a big company
Brain and Co. Limited. Oh they're based in Cardiff. Oh there we are then so you know. Next to the train
station. Relatively relatively local and this it cost me an eye watering eight pounds from the YMCA
but it is a bit of paraphernalia from a game that I enjoy playing and I've got fond memories of
even though I don't actually know how to use the thing that I bought. Next time you see it mum. Take
it with you. See if it can be explained. Yeah just double check. I ask. Well it could be as simple as
you've told me it is just a cheap abacus. Yeah and the pegs are the beads. Right your turn to guess
my teeth. Oh yeah I've got to close my eyes now. Right hang on a second take my glasses off
because somehow that makes it easier to close my eyes. Get it out. Get it out of your box. The very front is damaged.
So there you go. Oh it's longer than what I gave you to feel. I've given you quite a length in your hands. Oh you really have.
It's a cardboard box with a very dusty clear thin plastic film on the front. Do you need to poke out the bits?
No it's okay. I can work my psychic hands can work their magic don't you worry. Right to left yeah.
Actually you can push this one. There we are. Okay so it's a slidey box so like I guess something
you'd expect to find like a harry potter magic wand in or something. Is this got buttons on that I'm
gonna make it make noises and give it away. No it's not battery operated at all. Or can you take the
take slide it out for me I feel like I'm gonna break it. I did offer but no I've got psychic hands. I know
and then my psychic hands told me that they were being over ambitious. What color is the cardboard?
I was gonna go with like something spacey tardis like Dr Whoey background.
Like a dog. Got dust on me. It's got slight moving parts. They come out if it'll help.
Here hold your hand out. There's the one from the far right. Oh it's a vehicle. Don't squeeze it too
hard the wheels will break. I have my Hulk hands. I know it's just very french. Okay so it's got four
wheels. A flat back. A weird roof and like some sort of like hot rod open engine front end.
Can we take give you the second one? Has it got a weird like fin on it? Yes please can I have the other one?
This feels so delicate. Number two. Oh that feels suspiciously car like also.
Oh there's the wing mirrors. That's got like an open engine bay type hot roddy feel to it as well
but this feels like a short oil tanker. Like an all-in-one not a um an rtx. Not articulated.
That's the one. And there's a third item. Oh my god there's a third one. I mean it could be
like something fire engine related. Do you want me to hand you the third one? Yes please. I'll swap you that.
This is fun I'm enjoying touching up your stuff. This is the one that has the missing wheel from being fragile.
You'll feel at the very back. Oh yeah. Oh missing two two wheels. Three wheels. No it's got two wheels.
This is the one your thumbs on is the missing. This one. Oh right okay.
Hang on a minute. Oh there we are. I was like it's only got two wheels.
That's because I was holding it on its side not its base.
Oh my god. Ah typical girl car related nonsense. These all feel really dusty so that's got a weird
fin on it as well. That's got covered engine. There's some sort of like truck hot roddy type.
I will take them. Matchbox jobbies. Close enough. Yeah yeah you can open your eyes. Thank you.
They are a collection of vintage. Oh cool. Trucks. I wasn't too far away when I said that one felt
like an oil tanker. Yeah the ones you're pointing out there the hot roddy looking ones. They actually
are based on the middle one. The oil tanker is a Ford model T.T truck and the two on the end
Ford model AA which model A was a bit better than the model T came after.
Weirdly it's a Days Gone made in England by Lledo London Limited. It sounds like a Welsh looking name.
Lledo? Yeah. Weirdly two at the back. They're Unigate Dairies. The one at the front Huntly and
Palmer's Biscuits. I'm pretty sure this should have been a matching set. Oh you think it's been
swapped out? I think there was some mix up at the factory or something. Maybe you've got a secret set
that no one else has got. Because yeah everyone I've looked online they've been doing a bit of
research for this one. They all seem to be either one brand or one of different companies.
It's odd that there's two of one. That's interesting. But my dad brought these around a few days before
we recorded the last episode but I'd had the mess tins all wrapped for the Christmas one.
Plus it was late at Christmas. I will use that one up first. But these were in the attic with
another item that I'll use in another future episode. Now Lledo was, I'm saying it, pronouncing
it Lledo...Welsh?. It could be Ledo. L-L-E-D-O. It was founded by Matchbox co-founder. That's why I give
you the point that you've somehow got this on the head. Well close enough. Co-founder Jack Odell and
Burt Russell in 1982 and the factory produced diecast vehicles in Enfield from 1983 to 1999.
Later models were made in China. I'm not sure why all three aren't a matching set.
While Huntly and Palmer's biscuits van, Huntly and Palmer's have been making biscuits since 1822.
It's been over the years swapped hands. Nabisco is one of the bigger owners which I think
Mondalez international in turn owns Nabisco but in 2006 it was re-established and based in Suffolk
so productions returned back to the UK. Unigate was formed in 1959. United dairies merged with
Cow and Gate. Unigate, the least imaginative corporate branding ever. Yeah that's a shame.
It's now called Uniq or "Unique?". U-N-I-Q. Uniq?. It's owned by an Irish food conglomerate Greencore
since 2011. Oh. But I do remember when I was a kid we did have a Unigate battery milk float
delivering milk in the mornings and I've got a friend in school, Minty, he got hit by a milk
float - I think twice! K: I think my mum got hit by a milk float when she was a kid. A: But they're kind
of noisy they were that's when they were like a metro reversing. K: Yeah yeah I mean I don't
yeah I don't know if like the one that was around mums when she was a kid was like in stealth mode
but I'm sure I'm sure she's told me that she was hit by a milk float. A: This is pre-earbuds how?
We're going to be doing a rematch of Urban Myth from a few episodes ago and hopefully
I'll remember how to play it properly this time so we've just quickly gone through the rules
between us just to make sure we know how to play it. So it's a card game on the back of each
card is a letter so the object is to spell out either the word true or the word myth
by answering the question on the back of the card. If you get it right you keep the card,
yeah if you get it wrong I keep the card and vice versa. Yeah and then you can use that as a
I can make that into myth or true. Yeah okay that sounds fair. Okay finger crossed I don't just have
a pile of discards and answering twice as many as I need to. Have these been shuffled? Uh they're
same shuffled from last time so yeah I've just put everything that we use on the bottom. Okay that's
fine. Yeah unless you want to just take it half the deck and just split it wherever you fancy.
Okay give me yeah I'll pull Daniel's shuffle. I will.
Oh I just split mine in half because I can't do riffle shuffle. I'll pull Daniel's shuffle.
And I'll just move the wild card that which is on the top down when what's happening there oh you
get paper cut yeah I'll put it in the health and safety book. Yeah where's the accident book? Oh
crap we have to make one. Oh actually no Tom Rob. Good point you you run the network where's the
accident book I wish to report sepsis in my left forefinger. Maybe that's what Arthur does.
I was wondering what he does here. Yeah it's a good question. Arthur call me art.
We should ask. Yeah all right should we if we see him again. All right. Right 10 minutes on the clock.
Youngest person gets to guess first I believe was the rule. Okay so you're asking first. I am asking
you first. Okay 10 minutes start now. For a huh.
What's the category? Oh life.
Oh no I'm going to change the question. Worldwide more people are killed by donkeys than by air
crashes. True. Correct. You're playing for a T. Okay. The category is nature. Okay.
Cobras can't hear. In snake charming act they follow the movement of the pipe not the sound.
I'm trying to think of nature programs now do they go by vibration
and that's where they know where things are rather than hearing but then if you're using
vibrate. I think that they can hear. It's oh sorry you're wrong it's true the cobras can't hear.
Bastard. I get you're already halfway to a word. Cock. Right which one truth or myth which one.
I'm not sure. It's true or myth. I've got the. I mean if you want to go for truth then you can.
Okay celebrity category. Novelist Jilly Cooper was the niece of comedian Tommy Cooper.
Myth or true. I will say true. It is a myth. I win an E. You're playing for a U. The category
nature again. Okay didn't do so well on the last one.
Spiders won't spin webs in structures made of chestnut wood. True or myth.
True. It is true. I wonder if that's why they made so many wardrobes and things out of chestnuts.
Keep the bugs out. I need to live in a chestnut house. Yeah I wonder if that's why people say
if you put horse chestnuts around your house spiders won't come in. Jackson did that work
for you that one time. How many conkers do I need to collect. I mean Jackson had a fuckload
of conkers. Ask me a question. Oh yeah sorry yeah. Seven and a half minutes left. For an M.
Crime category. I'm gonna get this wrong. Highwayman Dick Turpin once rode overnight
from London to York in order to to establish an alibi.
By horse overnight London to York. I'm gonna say that's a myth. Fuck it's a myth.
You can do that in the car. Not on horse. He's winning again. You're playing for a letter T.
Right okay. Health. During Ramadan in 2002 the US Air Force dropped empty food packets as part
of the war effort in Afghanistan. That sounds so. How is that health specifically. Because it's
to do with Ramadan and Ramadan is fasting for spiritual purposes. I mean. Again not health
