Alas Vine & Hitchens

Singing Bob Dylan on a Steep Hill and Health & Safety Gone Mad

08 Oct 2025

Description

On this week’s episode, Peter and Sarah ask why parks shit down at the first sign of inclement weather? Why do under twenty-five-year-olds feel the need to rail against something, but not bother to read up on it first (we’ve all been there)? Elsewhere, Peter recalls chasing a bicycle thief while hitting him about the head with a bag of dirty laundry. Not to be outdone, Sarah admits to punching her brother in the face with her car keys, which should teach them both something about bringing up politics at a restaurant table. On our reading and watch list this week: ·      Anshel Pfeffer - Bibi: The Turbulent Life and Times of Benjamin Netanyahu·      E.H.
