Chiswick High Road

And obviously where we went to college, it was a bit like fame school.

And I was walking home from college after being in the student bar and Conleth was laid on the floor on Chiswick High Road, having his leg stretched by Ryan Quish, trying to make him more flexible.

And Conleth just said, I have to be on the front of Heat magazine.

Can you remember that?

It was me and one other guy.

And I'll never forget it.

I was walking along Chiswick High Road to do a pub shift in, what do you call that at one beside Turnham Green? I just remember walking to the pub shift thinking, oh my God, or it was like it was Valentine's Day or something.

like near where i live on chiswick high road they took out the bus lanes so there were designated bus lanes um which you know between certain hours of the day were only buses or bicycles they took them away and built bike lanes yes but that means that the buses just have to sit in the main lane of traffic and it's a fucking nightmare

like it also a lot of that um i've seen a lot of What do you call it? Discussion.

Negative discussion.

Or you get the other extreme of, you know, people saying, yeah, it's the fucking greenies.

It's the fucking leftists, blah, blah, blah.

And it all sort of happened in lockdown, you know, during COVID and it was kind of brushed through.

...

some pr- some festival up and down Chiswick High Street in the late '50s.

[laughs]

No, there was, there was a, there, there was a, there was a conversation about it.

So like the coffin can be a different colour, like pink?

He mentions that there was one instance where they wanted a funeral where they were attached to a hearse, as in the body, and then they blasted massive attack as it drove down Chiswick High Road in London.

People who have very specific wishes about their funeral make me feel a bit weird.

Yeah, I don't really get it because you're not really there to...
