If you were asked by the officials at Gould, who are running the Gould 200th year anniversary, to add an object to the museum, what object do you think best captures your connection to Gould?
20:21
I would say I used to own a fleece when I was, like, say, 12 years old.
20:29
Yeah.
20:30
And I lost that fleece at school.
20:34
And I must have been out on the field for, you know, for break or whatever.
20:41
And then one day I remember seeing the fleece and it was, like, by a tree.
20:46
It's soaking wet, obviously, because it's been raining.

Do you believe in aliens?
32:21
Is that your interest in jigsaws? What's your interest in jigsaws?
32:24
Well, I don't know if I...
32:26
Is it in the show even or is it just in the blurb? Well, it's definitely in the blurb.
32:32
We'll see if it makes it into the show.
32:34
Yeah.
32:36
I basically, I bought a jigsaw for my girlfriend.
32:41
I think I'm quite, it sounds like a bad gift, but we were in the Highlands, and we passed a charity shop, and there was a jigsaw in the window that was just bonkers.

Yes.
14:39
as far as I'm aware I hadn't actually played Brian Lowry cricket
14:43
but yeah I mean it seems very nice but I was reading like the Guardian article about it and it was saying that this record stood for 21 years and it's one of sport's great records and But do you not think that it sort of, you're like, yeah, it stood for 21 years because everyone's refusing to beat it out of politeness.
15:01
And it feels, I guess you've just got to beat it.
15:04
Like if Man United went 9-0 up after 45 minutes, can't imagine all the team going like, now, hang on, no more goals.
15:11
We all know the record is a 1956 10-0 defeat of Anderlecht.
15:16
It was a fantastic team.
15:17
We're not worthy of that.
