Neal explores the delicate diplomacy of carrying a motorbike side car passenger, spends some time addressing the bee keepers in the audience, illustrates how a cat handles a passive aggressive bar man, advises on minimising your total lifetime camera exposure, wonders if dog whistles and cricket noises work the same way, makes the case for calling trouser legs sleeves, wonders if crickets sweat and why it doesn’t kill them, recalls a surprising wildlife experience triggered by Beavis and Butthead, carefully notes the spare room’s emergency coughing options, discovers an old bedside lamp worthy of Freddie Mercury, applies some common sense to baggy trouser design, bemoans the new expanded definition of literal, imagines how supermarkets police the lard aisle, makes the case for police audio mug shots and looks at why life is scary with a QR code on your vehicle, Last of the Summer Wine, vehicles that get mistaken for roadworks, tyres versus helmets, Little House on the Prairie, the trouble with dry herb labels, slow cookers, cling film on the barbeque and more.
