Rum Doings Episode 142: At Sea! Part 5 – Buggerboos

by on Aug.23, 2013, under Rum Doings

In the 142nd episode of Rum Doings, we are on the last night of the cruise. Sniff. But fortunately there’s time for a sing-song!

We work out how to bring cruise into our everyday lives, we learn how not to not be disablist, and plan how to bump off our parents for their house values. And other stuff too! It’s a good one.

Rum Doings Episode 140: At Sea! Part Three – Faffy Creatures

by on Jul.25, 2013, under Rum Doings

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!

Rum Doings Episode 139: At Sea! Part Two – Faroe Island Evangelism

by on Jul.16, 2013, under Rum Doings

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.

Rum Doings Episode 138: Rum Doings At Sea! Part One

by on Jul.10, 2013, under Rum Doings

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.

Rum Doings Episode 137: Inflate The President

by on Jun.12, 2013, under Rum Doings

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.

Rum Doings Episode 136: Visceral Splodges

by on Jun.03, 2013, under Rum Doings

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.

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 130 free episodes, we’d love you to return the favour by writing a quick review.

Rum Doings Episode 135: Drunken, Fish-And-Chip-Eating, Haggis-Wearing Yobs

by on May.20, 2013, under Rum Doings

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.

Rum Doings Episode 130: Smug Pedantry

by on Mar.22, 2013, under Rum Doings

Heaven high, listeners. It’s episode 129 of Rum Doings, in which we don’t discuss whatever happened to the dinosaurs. Instead we talk about how John is the most hated man in the world, Nick’s experiences at a comedy gig, and John is finally brought back down to Earth from his delusional celebrity.

We then play “Guess The Newspaper From The Headline”, the game that’s sweeping the nation, Nick explains why the SNP won’t win, and then there are more lessons in healthy eating from our nutritionist guru. Learn how Nick’s daughter turned into a guinea pig, the murderous ways of Ricarda Bigjoan, and some slightly more introspective discussion of the nature of bullying of trans* people. And bad laughers.
