Oh god I forgot to look into night buses from the friend's place I'm watching with tonight.

I'd have thought you'll only just leave in time for the mid-afternoon bus.

 

[lolly]

I've listened to them all at least once, but Portugal aside, I don't recall a single one.

 

[COB]

We are in our seats! So happy with the view

 

[Soldi]

 

[win_the_game]

Love the attention to detail paid to the green room. Those finishing touches with the black grow pots give it the feel of a local garden centre.

Going out with colleagues I'm going to miss this

 

[Penelope]

Going out with colleagues I'm going to miss this

Tell them you've got kidney failure you pervert!

 

[ButterTart]

Not like the Italians to have such neatly trimmed bushes.

 

[Lucille]

Is this on YouTube? My internet is DOWN so o may have to watch this on my phone

 

[Dark Carnival]

Tell them you've got kidney failure you pervert!

TEMPTED!!

 

[Dark Carnival]

When time do you think this finishes? Is there a chance of me catching the results?

The official stream is blocked in the UK I think. It should be available on the BBC3 stream on iPlayer - https://www.bbc.co.uk/tv/bbcthree

 

[dmlaw]

No. You’ll have to get up for work before that.

 

[GNL]

A touching call back to the 2020 lockdowns
