ill-advised by Bill Nighy · He Showers In The Dark · 21 May 2026 podcast

And then about a month later, maybe I got a letter from her saying, Dear Bill, I'm so, so sorry, but when I was a schoolgirl in Leeds, that meant, do you want to go around the back of the bike shed?

And you think, oh, so I look like someone who might say or indicate that they want to take you around the back of the bike shed.

You know, I must have shaken her hand the night before.

And she thought that I was placing my pinky in her palm in order to send that message.

So I have to be really careful.

And it's dull because I have to spend the first eight minutes explaining my condition to people that I meet for the first time, which is not the greatest way to kickstart the conversation.

So I have a problem in that area.

But I kind of blazon it through a lot of the time now.

But I always have to say, if I shake a girl's hand...

I don't know about shaking girls' hands.

I think you should wait until they extend their hand.

I think that's the rule.

Rather than you instigate shaking a woman's hand.

That's my view.

I don't know.

But with men, yeah, why not?

Shake their hand.

It's a nice thing to do.

And now it's time for what might be your favorite thing about the whole of the Ill-Advised by Bill Nye podcast.

It's certainly that is reflected in the number of people that have contributed to this feature.
