Crucible Adventures part 1 - giddy with excitement

Digging deep into the Chatabix mailbag, this week we read messages about a pre-planned bollock quip, a couple of celebrity interactions, some theme tune jingles written by a Chatabiscuit, a very special letter received from Ronny Barker and a littering story that ended in a fine.

David’s been away visiting family and stayed in a triangular-shaped AirBnB last night, so he kicks off the show by explaining that all to Joe. Their chat then soon wanders off into a very mixed bag of topics, such as keeping positive in conversations, enthusiastic early morning radio DJs, an impromptu curry quiz, some reminiscing about strange local characters, David’s upcoming massage and Joe’s complete disinterest in ever having one. Classic Chatabix drivel.

David’s realised he takes on a strange persona whenever he’s in a DIY shop or garden centre, which is something his wife Naomi picked up on recently when they were at their local B&Q. He thinks it might be connected to his old job as a gardener and what little knowledge from that time he’s managed to retain. Suffice to say, he really doesn’t like who he becomes in these situations - but it’s something that Joe very much enjoys hearing about on today’s pod.

Joe was recently invited to host the opening of some new tennis courts near to where he lives - and with his bold new ‘helping out in the community’ attitude, he enthusiastically accepted. So as that’s now happened, David wants to hear all the details from Joe and find out if he managed to maintain his positivity throughout the day. Spoiler alert, he didn’t feel hugely comfortable with the big comedy scissors he was given to cut the ribbon with.

In this old episode from the archives, we couldn't record a Chatabix on that morning - so thought we'd upload a pilot of a new podcast idea.

On this week's show, we read emails about getting told off as an adult, a paid for cover version of Happy Happy Girl, a secret tunnel under Gillingham, a very interesting farm leaflet, an edible munching CEO, beach hut repairs and lot a praise for Joe. Plus a very confusing quip to end on.

Joe’s convinced he’s already told David about his 50th birthday trip to Paris - but David’s not sure he’s heard the whole story and definitely wants more of the details. So somewhat reluctantly, Joe recounts his and Petra’s four day holiday, in as much depth as possible. But he soon gets distracted by a new pair of trousers he now regrets buying and then a growing disappointment that he’s not more dynamic when planning and being on holidays. As you might expect, a fair amount of unravelling then ensues and there's a load more angst about turning 50 too.

It’s the third part of David’s holiday tales trilogy. But before that, Joe has a bit of a moan about seeing someone graffitiing in Brighton the previous evening, which got him very riled up indeed. Then once that’s out of the way, David finally recounts his wonderful visit to Stan Laurel’s old house in Ulverston, Cumbria. But we’ll leave it up to you to decide just how wonderful it actually was?
