Toadcast #75 – The Bone Idlecast
Well, we are nearing the end of our time in Puglia. We’re spending a couple of days in or near Napoli before we fly back on Sunday, presumably troughing like total pigs, rather than paying all that much attention to culture and all that bobbins.
Mrs. Toad is doing Sudoku and complaining about the ‘wrong sort of paper’. I kid you not, it’s just like British fucking Rail and their ‘wrong type of snow’, but she insists it’s just for that reason that she can’t solve them, not because they’re too hard. Personally I find myself wondering if ‘evil’ is used to describe the comments one’s spouse will inevitably make when you fail to complete it, rather than the actual difficulty of the Sudoku puzzle itself.
So yes, we have done the lazing about and there are now a few days of actually doing shit in between us and a return to the damp splendour of the British Isles. I suppose this is what you’re supposed to do on holiday – pay attention to the country you’re in and return, eventually – but honestly, another week of doing bollocks-all wouldn’t hurt anyone would it?

yes! first comment! whoo!
There are rarely all that many comments on the Toadcasts old chap, but nice to see someone’s listening! It’s a really good playlist this week, although the chat may leave a little to be desired.

isn’t this pretty much par for the course?
More of a mission statement than a mia culpa, I think.
“Mraargh grumble mumble fuck shit cunt mumble mumble.. oh yes, some songs!”
Repeat for an hour and go to pub, job done.
That’s gutting.
Navigator and Lord Cut Glass are fucking superb. Cheers for the heads-up.
Oh, and I always thought the difference was that raisins are red grapes and sultanas are white… I could be wrong though.
Sort of amusing to hear a full time music review point out that literary analysis has contributed nothing to the universe…
Erm, I know that this is horrendously poor patter but can I hi-jack this thread to inform the masses that the FOUND gig at the peartree has had to be cancelled due to flaps weather. Sorry agin.
Napoli is the craziest place I have ever visited.
I’ve never even attempted to start a Sudoko puzzle. They just look stupid.
Weather’s clearing up..
Apparently ‘raisin’ is the all-encompassing term for dried grapes.
Following on from that, sultanas and currants are raisins derived from specific grape varieties.
I like them.
Jay Farrar is dead?
I think that might have been another Jay (the one from Wilco)
jay bennett is dead. if jay farrar died as well then jeff tweedy’s having some bad luck regarding the jay’s he’s been in bands with.
currants are currants and raisins are dried grapes, i.e., sultanas. fact.
Yeah but you’ve probably got some fucked up yank definition for them and you’re actually talking about tomatoes or estate cars or something.
Wrong Jay.
Erm…
Whoops.
What a fuckwit.
Jay Leno’s dead?
hahah dylan, how did you know I was using my Yank code to actually hijack this thread and talk about tits? xoxo
Ooh! Alela Diane’s on the BBC!
She’s got a new haircut..
oh lordy, I have failed, even Dylan won’t take the bait.
The day Dylan fails to take the slenderest excuse to talk pish is the day the sky falls in.
I only mentioned that Alela’s got a new haircut.
Looked nice..
