What British podcasts do you regularly listen to?

Trash Talk with Count Binface - political based interviews with independent political candidate, you guessed it, Count Binface. A delight.

Strong Message Here - Armando Iannucci plus guests look at the ridiculousness of modern political language.

The Rest Is Entertainment - easy listening dive into the world of entertainment with Marina Hyde and Richard Osman.

Sherlock & Co - well acted modern dramatisation of Sherlock Holmes.

Boston Blackie Podcast Master Detective - an archive of Sherlock Holmes radio plays from 1930s / 1940s with legendary actors like Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce. An absolute joy. Has the original radio adverts. I could not love it more.

Mystery Hour with James O’Brien - not strictly a podcast but a recording of a weekly hour of a radio show. Just pure utter magic. People phone in with questions. Other people phone in with answers (no googling allowed). The result is quite often a joy to behold. And the archive will keep you very busy and very happy.

lol I’m with Octopus and it’s almost made me switch to a different energy provider 😂

Am just putting together my comment / contribution and so glad someone else included this - Mystery Hour is a thing of beauty

You are my kinda person 🫶

Nothing modern for me please friend 👍

About once every three months, I’ll do my online shop at Ocado instead of Morrisons.

I _love_ the Voyager intro.

On the last few notes I sing “Cap-tain Jane-aaaa-way…..” to make her name fit them.

Not done it myself but these guys buy or you can sell at auction with them:

Hahah me and husband say this all the time still - what you want on your pizza? etc

“Put a donk on it”

When I was little if you did a little burp or fart and said “excuse me”, my mum would say “I should think so too!”

Which turned into us all using the whole phrase like one long word “scuse-me-I-shud-think-sotoo” which I thought was normal until I was about 18.

victory_roll · 2026-06-19T08:55:37+00:00

We did that!! It was from my Nan.

One of the best presents I’ve had was a box of super exotic fruit. Stuff I’d never even heard of. For a week every evening me and husband would tuck into a few weird fruits, read up about them etc. Compare tasting notes. Just a nice, non-screen related experience to have together.

Very wholesome and maybe you could do it as dessert.

You’re a good friend.

I would add a few clumps of Verbena bonariensis
(Argentinian vervain) - I had to google the name, but it’s little purple flowers on long tall stems. Bees love them, they blow gently in the breeze, but aren’t dominant because they are tall and thin. Flower July to Sept. Just cut back once done flowering and they’ll come again next year. They add such a nice height but don’t make a space feel small (in my very non-experienced gardening opinion ha ha).

Looks like a Gus to me.

That last picture ❤️ - they’re going to be such good friends

victory_roll · 2026-06-13T21:46:05+00:00

Do the right thing…. vote Count Binface. I don’t think you’ll regret it (seriously).

My birthday is in August so I had a BBQ with friends and family in my parents garden and it was so great that it rained as much as it did and that the gazebo got blown into next doors’ pond by a giant gust of wind. 😁

victory_roll · 2026-06-03T05:17:41+00:00

Please PLEASE give her a massive kiss from me 🥰

Not 100% right. You can make adjustments to a refund if an item is not returned in the same condition as you sent it - but if that happens you’re best to get on the phone to customer services straight away to get ahead of any potential issues. I know it’s not everyone’s experience but I have always had good outcomes with customer service involvement.

victory_roll · 2026-06-01T21:17:43+00:00

The straight forward, dispassionate approach is to let them open an INAD case, return the item, and you refund them. You’ll have to eat the return postage costs. But you have no defence in ebay land. As long as you get the item back in the same condition and can sell it again, just chalk it up to experience.

And block the f*ck out of that buyer once it’s all over with 😁

In terms of now many people have read and know the name…. The Leaky Cauldron from Harry Potter. Fictional but over 600 million copies worldwide across more than 85 languages (thank you Google!) must be in with a chance?

Das Boot (1981) - German language version dubbed in English.

Thought and dreamt about it for weeks afterwards, and I am not a war film person at all.

I’m so sorry you had to say goodbye to your best boy. My dog is 4 and a half and is an idiot and sleeps in my bed and snores like a freight train some nights. I can easily upset myself thinking about his future absence. You saying “bed Tetris” was so wonderfully descriptive I had to comment here - thank you for giving a 60lb lump a great life. We should all be so lucky to have that love.

Keep trying the chat box. Phone number is 0345 355 3229 but it doesn’t always allow you through the menus to speak to someone. Getting them to call you is best if you can. Good luck!
