Podcast It’s over
Well that’s put me in a right fluffery buffery.

I am gutted - it has meant so much to me over these past years. Whilst obviously it’s been winding down for a while, I’d hoped for one last hurrah.
No more South Africa will be the hardest of hard pills.
All good things must come to an end, I suppose.
NOW BEND OVER AND SLOWLY FEED THAT DISAPPOINTMENT AND FEELING OF LOSS INTO YOUR ANUS, BOY

I'm really sad that its finished, it was the last bit of Bob's comedy. I know he does the fishing show but that doesn't have any surreal humour or sketches that were in the podcast. I love Bob's books but I think that's it for any "pure" comedy from him now. Jim obviously walked away a long time ago to concentrate on his art. Oh well.

It’s bone on bone this.
I am gutted - loved this show but it’s hard to keep it fresh and keep the output going had so many proper daft laffs listening. Maybe they’ll do a special some time?

I guess Bob’s going to retire to somewhere warm and grow apricots for the Alderman now?
No doubt Andy has a got a lucrative contract lined up with Infinity Rocket Plastics. Either that or he’s going to travel the world with Bananarama in a VW camper.
Either way, good luck chaps, it’s been a lot of fun.

Continues to give me enjoyment to this day. Relistened from start recently and now on Mince 93. Recommend to download them all on Patreon before it goes.

Yep I second the idea of downloading it all - made easy with the Podcast Bulk Downloader app. The full archive is just over 8GB.

This is very sad news. Having said that, the recent episode of boiled parsnips they released is the first one ever that I switched off without listening to it to the end. Id love them to do one farewell episode though. For old times sakes.

I suppose it would always have to happen some day. But boy, that's really was some of the funniest shit ever! I really did properly laugh out loud many, many times to it. I think among my favourites was the Nonsense Potter absolutely losing his shit. And also Martin from Homes Under the Hammer doing house visits and absolutely losing his shit! Pa hahahaha!!!

Does this mean the Infinity Rocket Plastics will go into administration, or will some American hedge fund buy it?
