Rum Doings Episode 54
by John Walker on Dec.16, 2010, under Rum Doings, The Rest
This week, in a 54th episode of Rum Doings, we don’t discuss: Is it finally time to say a fond farewell to the sell-by date? But we do start arguing about coats and umbrellas.
We consume prana, and biscuits. And then we are inspired to chat by the waiting questions on John’s Formspring. And that’s all the information you get, as since recording John’s got flu and his hands and everythings hurt.
Tweet it, Facebook it, as strangers on Formspring about it. And please really do. I’d like to see a spike in our listener numbers. And writing a review on iTunes brings us more attention.
If you want to email us, you can do that here. If you want to be a “fan” of ours on Facebook, which apparently people still do, you can do that here.

I’m definitely a more huggy person as well, and i don’t see why men can’t hug each other. Is it me or has Nick gotten more controversial lately? I’m thinking of going to Labours side i nthe next election, they definitely seem to be changing into a party that agrees with me a lot more under Ed Milliband, and Lib Dems have just blew it.

I retweeted this show!
So please, please give her back unharmed.

Also, I hug (my fellow) men all the time. But only to make them gay. I’m not going to hug John, though, because he has a fever.

I feel like the lib dems have mostly stuck to a commitment to civil liberties, but economically are shifting into the nasty libetarian area that some of the party inhabit. I don’t think even Clegg is an authoritarian. Well. I hope slightly anyway.
I am, to be honest, still expecting political amnesia, because most people tend to display it. The lib dems are being bad, sure, but theres still a long way until they have to fight another election. I would be shocked if they won any coming by-election though…

@Xercies – I think it’s you.

Is it just me or did Xercies just violate rule #17? ;-)

Wait just one second. It’s one thing suggesting a ‘controversial’ view on rape. It’s something else entirely to start the podcast EATING BISCUITS!?
I am shocked and appalled. I shall be contacting Ofcom, Points of View, Watchdog and Batman immediately. I tut at you. Tut. And also tsk.
In other news, yet another entertaining Biscuit Doings, good work chaps.

I disagree regarding Charlotte Green – I think her voice suits the body (well, perhaps not on the ‘attractive’ scale). Also, Fiona Mackenzie – yummy.

Good smooth chatty Doings on my ears, mmm.
Also, lol @ breatharianism. Darwin Award candidates-in-waiting, the lot of them.

Oh, John, I meant to ask if your friend Kim published those photos of the burning building. They sound neat.
Also, hearty chuckles were had by three of us at the “fellatio as a circus act” bit this evening.

Yeah, the circus act bit made me laugh out loud in the middle of a crowded bus.

A thought-provoking one this week, balanced nicely with some truly ridiculous noises of agreement from JW.

What would Rum Doings be without the funny noises John makes? Without the groaning, the creaking, the biscuit munching, the breathing, the rustling, the mmmmmmmm-hmmmmmming and the ehhhhhhhhhhhing it would be nothing.
NOTHING I say!
