Happy new year, listeners! Behold the first podcast of 2013, Answer Me This! Episode 241:
Today we talk of:
Paul Merton
manatee poo
summer lovin’
Jools Holland’s personal Portmeirion
gingerbread houses vs. Grand Designs
the Brand New Heavies
birth days
car calorie counting
Tweet
Kate Middleton’s trendsetting womb
Tulisa’s titillating tape
Anne Hathaway’s minge
New Year’s purges
and
timberrrrrrrrr!
Plus: Olly is a bit disappointed by a big fake clock; Helen does not want your gifts, nor does she deserve them; and Martin the Sound Man sets Jay Kay a parsimonious budget so that he can stretch his acid jazz fortune a little further without skimping on treats.
Further to our royal foetus discussion, in this week’s Bit of Crap on the App (available for iDevices and Android) we deliberate over which royal we’d choose to have a baby with – because if and when that opportunity rises, you do want to have given it proper consideration beforehand. Otherwise you might end up co-parenting with Prince Michael of Kent. Nobody wants that.
What we DO want are QUESTIONS for the new year. Email them to answermethispodcast@googlemail.com or leave voicemails on the Question Line by calling 0208 123 5877 or Skype ID answermethis.
See you next Thursday,
Helen & Olly

Paul Merton and why is he looking to the left? He is reading the Hosts autocue so he can come up with those witty comebacks in a flash. Both he and Hislop have jumped in on occasion where the Guest Host fluffs their lines…

I have been architect in the UK for the past 15 years and nobody uses actual blueprints these days. Even old drawings are on trace paper for copying reasons which is kind of sepia-esque. Everything is drawn in on a PC in AutoCAD and printed on white paper I am afraid chaps, hell most drawings are never printed at all these days and just fired around as PDFs. Sorry to destroy the romance.

Regarding Australian Dozy Drivers Die, in Ghana, the road-signs say ‘No Overspeeding’. I really like that, because most people are tolerant of a little speeding.
They will stop you for a bribe if you slightly speed though.
