John Walker's Electronic House

In the 144th episode of Rum Doings, we don’t discuss whether the vinyl has had its day. But instead we get into some first year poetry analysis, and learn how Lucy the kitten has banished sleep for John.

Naturally we have a quick chat about Turkey, discuss Mohammad’s cat, and then Nick obsesses over the language in some, er, spam. We stake our claim to having discovered Benedict Cumberbatch, and then Nick outlines the new rules for seasons. And probably some other stuff too.

In the 143rd episode of Rum Doings, we don’t discuss population control. And we’re no longer on a cruise. So life is empty. But John has recently gained a kitten, and that’s quite the matter. We express just how much we don’t know the right answer for Syria, nor indeed about fracking. We explain how you can buy anything you want when you’re buying a house, and also the complete lack of past kissing antics by our wives. Nick appoints Laura in charge of RPS, and John discusses the company’s exploitation of tiny kittens. Nick then makes John talk about the next console generation, we consider the lack of sticky-up winkies on TV, and then it ends.

In the 141th episode of Rum Doings, for the penultimate time sat on the balcony of John and Laura’s cruising cabin, we’re attacked by pirates! Aiieeee!

Listen to more tales of Nick and John’s jacuzzi love, and kayaking adventures, before we’re interrupted by the appearance of a GHOST LIGHTHOUSE!

There are tales of awful, awful Bergen, and our newfound career as photography models. And the new sport that’s sweeping the planet – Canapé Tossing!

In the 140th episode of Rum Doings, yet again sat on the balcony of John and Laura’s cruising cabin, we’re in the port of Akureyri, Iceland. So we obviously talk about Akureyri, Iceland. And the Ultimate Cream Tea.

There’s live commentary of our ship moving out of a port, including all the rope-removal coverage you so desperately seek. And the Coca Cola Challenge! And impressions of a big fat man!

In the 139th episode of Rum Doings, once again sat on the balcony of John and Laura’s cabin, we discuss drowning in Jacuzzis, and Nick’s ripped torso. And then we bring you news of the Faroe Islands. In fact, we happen to have an extremely useful tourism booklet about the place. Let us share it with you. You’ll need this picture too:

Things then turn to a different form of salvation, as we look forward to our Champagne High Tea. Then everything’s ruined when Laura turns up.

With commissioning editors worrying about future prospects for the Rum Doings franchise, and a necessity to maintain ratings, it was decided by producers that the mighty series should take to the high seas! So it is that the sitcom of our lives went on a cruise, in a wacky, hilarious collection of… no, that’s as much as I can muster. We went on a holiday together, and recorded a bunch of episodes throughout. This is the first of five slightly shorter editions.

In the 138th episode of Rum Doings, sat on the balcony of John and Laura’s cabin, Nick and John speak into the microphone of an Apple Macintosh laptop with the washing sound of the ocean in the background. So naturally our location dominates discussion for a good while. And promptly turn into pirates.

We ponder the potential of a post-apocalyptic world, complain about a crappy game of poker, and even in the middle of the sea Nick insists on bringing up videogames. Things then turn to John’s hatred of all humanity, and the mysteries of the horizon.

Heaven high. It’s episode 137 of Rum Doings, in which we don’t discuss man moon cold blah blah. We do discuss privacy, and our easily misinterpreted innocent statements. For some reason we talk about aeroplane classes, and their relation to capitalism. John does his extraordinary impression of Frank Muller, and then we consider the genius of Sir Jonathan Ive.

Can you say you’ve read something if you’ve listened to it? And will the blind destroy us all? And is youthwork worthwhile?

We’d really love it if you left a review on iTunes. Yes, iTunes is hideous, but reviews on there are what get podcasts more attention. After 137 free episodes, we’d love you to return the favour by writing a quick review.

Heaven high. It’s episode 136 of Rum Doings, in which we don’t discuss why there are so many repeats. We begin by answering a few Facebook (eurgh) questions, and then settle into some lovely discussion of sun cream,
Nick’s desperation for John to get drunk, Judith’s ludicrously complicated songs, and a female Doctor Who.

There’s a painstaking review of the Chocolate Boutique Hotel, and the arrival of the monstrous noise of next door’s loft conversion. Then we encourage bigots to shoot themselves in the head.

Heaven high. It’s episode 135 of Rum Doings, in which we don’t discuss all manner of things that we end up discussing anyway. Including the Conservative’s peculiar backpeddling on gay marriage, the current state of South Africa, and the new-found potency of the cold virus.

There’s some lovely chat about Ferage, and then a review of Eurovision. You can see the 2011 opening ceremony here:

We recall the majesty of Wogan’s Web, the dreariness of Doctor Who, and John’s potential new house.

Heaven high. It’s episode 134 of Rum Doings, in which we don’t discuss whether it’s time for someone stood up for the rights of the white, hetrosexual male. But we do discuss John’s cold, and then a worrying return to cream teas. We explain why some people can’t be followed on Twitter, and then have a nice discussion about that nice boy, Justin Bieber. And John puts a hit out on Mark Kermode.

We announce plans to close down the Lake District, give away far too many personal details about ourselves, and predict our future leader, Prime Minister Wibblywob, leader of the Spoil Party. And once more we find ourselves upset by the ages of celebrities.
