Glad that you and Bob had a great evening together with some lovely Italian food and wine.

I hope Toby’s ‘lockdown files’ evening is a disaster. It’s appalling that him and Isabel Oakeshott are making money out of this.

The Covid enquiry is a complete waste of time and money and will be a whitewash.

You should take up Natalie’s offer of staying at her home in Lefkas, also known as Lefkada, it’s a beautiful island. You can fly to Preveza, a regional airport, during the season. Then a fairly short journey and over the floating bridge onto the island. I stayed there last September when you were in Crete Abi. The coastal road has beautiful scenery. I stayed in a villa, with no neighbours, high up in the hills outside of Lefkas, the views were stunning.

Talking of holidays, I’m off to Croatia tomorrow but I will be listening to your podcasts on the morning after they go out. I won’t miss a thing 💖

Oh the flashbacks of the sitting in your bra and pants in the bathroom😂😂😂

Glad you enjoyed your meal with our Bob.

That piece by Miri today was fantastic and shines a light on the reclaim party and Lozza et al.

C19 inquiry can get tae fuck! The end!

As for the LD files premiere... They can GTF too!

I remember Abi saying that she was sitting in her knickers in the bathroom last summer doing the podcast!

Probably could do a whole pod on types of knickers.

Absolutely spot on! My love affair for the royals ended when the Queen pushed the jab. And I’ll be the first to admit I went to the Epsom Derby every year to see her, and obviously the racing 🐎🐎. Loved the Diana impression it’s absolutely off the scale Abi. So so good. Still love her and always think of her. Have to say Trudi posted such a poignant video on twitter about the lockdown. Much love Suzanne x

I was disappointed in the Queen pushing the 💉she was very badly advised. Like you Suzanne I have no time for the monarchy now. Charles is a woke king and William will probably be worse. The monarchy no longer serves our interests. Yes, Abi’s Diana impression is just the best. I love her Irish accent with da covid too x

The covid 'enquiry'' is a scaled down version of Nuremberg, run by the same feckers who organised the psyop, we know what the outcome will be and I'm sure they'll be a couple of token scapegoats!

Correct and the cost of the enquiry and the time it will take makes the whole exercise pointless.

I’d love to be a fly on the wall while you’re having your conversations with Bob, I can just imagine the staff at the restaurant trying to get you to leave 🤣

Totally agree with you about people who’ve been to Oxford, when I was a teenager I had a lovely boyfriend who lived in the same area as me we had very similar backgrounds and apart from him being far more intelligent than me we were basically the same in every way! That is until he got a place at Oxford, he would come home during the holidays and talk in such a posh voice I thought he’d been staying with the Queen! His attitude towards me and his old friends was awful he became this supercilious sneering prick who would mock our accents and our lack of connections, he bragged about being a very good friend of Charles Spencer (Diana’s brother) and how he was playing for the rugby team, and he was expected to row in the boat race! None of this interested me in the slightest and when he asked me to accompany him to the Oxford May Ball I told him where to shove it! The cheeky git responded by telling me I’d have needed elocution lessons so it was probably a good idea if we called it a day after all. Although I had a lucky escape I can tell you that I was left feeling inferior and intimidated by “educated” people for many years after. I won’t name him but this person became very successful and made a lot of money, he owns a football club and is a director of a successful rugby club - I bloody hate him! 🤣🤣

That's very sad Catherine. I have always thought that common sense is very underrated. The most so called intelligent people looked pretty stupid when they display their lack of common sense and sadly not many people have it. There are many different types of intelligence, you can't test it using only one method.

I absolutely agree Hani, I wasted far too many years worrying about what people think of me, as I’ve got older I genuinely couldn’t care less! x

Me too Catherine. As I have got older I really don’t care at all what people think about me. I have to be true to myself, life is way too short to be a people pleaser xx

The only thing that matters is what you think of yourself Catherine. As the saying goes 'what other people think of me is none of my business '

That’s a sad story of how people can change and not for the best. His place at Oxford obviously made him a ‘superior’ human being 🤷‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️

Your impromptu piss up in the Italian with Bob reminded me of dinner a few years ago with new friends I'd met on a cruise, They were keen to take me to their favourite neighbourhood Italian where the Roman waiter was so knowledgable. He certainly knew his Zabaglioni from his zuppa, I could close my eyes and be transported to Sicily and the heady scent of olive groves and lemon trees. But when I opened them, he was Stephen from my school and as Scottish as Billy Connolly.

Yep, the covid whitewash is yet more censorship paid for by the tax payers. The piss take has reached dizzy heights now. I went on twitter the other day, ten minutes and I was in a black hole of despair. I can't stomach it for long now.

Sicily, now that’s on my list of places to go. Twitter is a mix of the very good and very bad but I have trouble staying away from it!

Pod in yer pants....you never treated me to that delight on Fridays pod.....I’m just glad u were wearing some! The Italian sounded like fun,what a nice end to a fantastic birthday quadruple rollover birthday weekend.

I cried 3 times yesterday morning before 8am. First at a lovely msg from Bob, then on Twatter at that poor lady’s call about her daughter taking her own life during lockdown then at our very own Lisa’s story about her Mum’s miserable lockdown and falling down the stairs.....I was a mess and couldn’t even get my sorry ass to the shops to get some food in! Was cheered up later when Trudi posted a pic of a pair of horrific green crocs (she claims they are Birkenstocks) with a cow on them....omg that made me laugh.....I have now blocked her as they are in actual fact a real crime against humanity 😂

Hoping the lockdown files evening was a disaster too.....it always sounded pretty shit to be fair,not to mention everything that was wrong with doing it in the first place. Xx

So sorry i haven’t commented for a few days Abi, its been a rough few days tbh after getting my results last week then being back straight into more appointments this week and a treatment planning Ct scan today( thank fuck thats over) and i asked for a women only team.As Trudi knows i was in bed most of yesterday feeling crap triggered from the start of the whitewash enquiry. I felt it was the right day to tweet a pic of my mums note book again cos no doubt they will only let certain stories be heard ( i did write to the enquiry)then that bloody muppet ShitRod tweeted me “take care” wtf🤬🤬🤬George bless him waited outside my bedroom door and he kept coming up to check on me on/off all day. So glad you all had a fab time on Saturday the weather was perfect for it.Went to a marina earlier to help me chill it was beautiful. Hope everyone is ok.....Love Lisa xx

It sounded like another fantastic meal with Bob.The Italian restaurant great too.A lot of the Italian restaurants have Romanians working there because their language sings like the Italian one and their English accents sound Italian
