What did Aileen and Neil talk about at the start of the episode?
Well hello, hello, hello, and welcome to this month's edition of Talking Club with me, Aileen Hendry.
And me, Neil Middleton.
Excellent. Good to know that you're here again.
I must certainly am.
It kinda crept up on us, didn't it?
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Did you enjoy the World Cup?
I have to say that for me And this may be a bit controversial. But for me The right team won.
As in the final.
As in the final. Oh most definitely. Yeah. Most definitely. Um I was not impressed with the Argentinian tactics and whole team dynamic, I have to say.
Yeah, and during the England game as well, that first half hour, Argentina versus England, that was just totally ridiculous. Um it was just like every time an Argentinian and an England player came within touching distance of each other, the English player was on the ground.
Yeah. That just uh crazy. Yeah. But anyway, yes, that's it over for another another wee while.
Yeah, four years.
Yes, that's correct.
But European championships I think in two years' time, so I've got that to look forward to. That's a long way off. Oh man, yeah.
It is indeed.
How did the hosts react to the World Cup final and its impact on the club?
There's a lot of water to go under the bridge before then, as they say.
Excellent, yes, absolutely. Splash splash, are you having a laugh?
Well, the first splish I'd like to splash under the bridge is the scores on the doors.
Scores on the doors. What are the scores on the doors?
Scores on the doors.
I mean you always say this and then I suddenly think I don't have a pen and I should be organised and I've got pen and paper. Scores on the doors, Eileen.
Ask me anything. twenty-three. I'm doing them in reverse order. Oh okay. Product reviews, sixty-three. Talking bats, ninety-five, business skills fifty-seven, ecology non bats eighty-two. Yeah. BATS 182, which gives us a total number of webinars within the Talking Club portal of five hundred and fifty seven.
Wow, that's cool.
It is cool. It's big. It is big. It's not as big as the number of hours though.
Alright, that's the hour.
Total number of hours six hundred and eighty one and a half.
We're gonna be through seven hundred hours probably by the end of August.
By the end of August, I don't think so.
Okay, no yeah.
Because you're still talking almost twenty hours to go.
Okay, maybe by then certainly this year.
Oh definitely this year.
Yeah, wow. Wow seven hundred hours. That is absolutely bonkers. Absolutely bonkers, yeah, yeah.
Amazingly bonkers.
Yeah, yeah. Anyway, thank you very much. Uh massive effort by yourself and all of our guest presenters, co presenters and everybody that's involved.
I don't think I can take m take much credit for it, babe. It's the co presenters and yourself that put on these wonderful webinars for all our lovely Battability Club customers.
Yeah. I just want to pick you up on something there which may be a slightly less professional to what our audience is accustomed to coming from Eileen.
Okay.
You just called me babes.
I didn't even notice.
Excellent. Okay.
Uh just in case anybody's got any doubts, by the way. Okay, just in case. We are a couple. We are a couple, yes. We are a married couple.
Couple of what, I'm not quite sure, but we're definitely a couple.
So there's nothing inappropriate going on here, folks. Anymore. Oh man. And we're in France at the moment.
We are in France at the moment. Our last week in France, so next week is our July COBA, the Certificate of Bat Acoustic Analysis Graded Assessments. Yeah. So that's something to look forward to. Yep. Good luck to everybody taking part next week.
And good luck to me for scoring everybody who is taking part.
It'll all be good, it'll all be good.
Yeah. And I tell you right, okay, I've got to mention this because I am absolutely buzzing. Right, we came down here, the weather has been terribly hot from the point of view of making it very difficult to do anything. Running has had to take place at kind of half past seven, eight o'clock in the morning. Birding has had to take place before ten o'clock or after nine o'clock at night. But despite all that, we've seen some pretty cool birds and I am now on two hundred and ninety-three.
