What is the opening banter and who are the hosts of Talking Club?
Well hello, hello, hello, and welcome to this next edition of Talking Club with me, Aileen Hendry.
And me, Neil Middleton.
Good to know that you know who you are.
I am me, I've always been me. I suspect I always will be me. And you're stuck with it.
Oh dear.
Yeah, I'm stuck with it as well though. I both stuck with it.
I don't know if that makes it any better. I don't know. Well
You can always run away. No matter how fast I run, I will still be there.
It's been a bit of a crazy month this month.
Tell me all about it. Flippin' World Cup fever.
In fact It's been a bit of a it's been a bit of a long week and it's only Tuesday.
Yeah. Tell me all about it. World Cup Fever What were those games like last night? Can you even remember who was playing last night?
Can I even remember who was playing last night? Last night the one that was really about bonkers was Germany and Paraguay.
Germany, Paraguay. I tell you, right? Germany tried their absolute best. Paraguay just made it so darn difficult for them. But you would have expected Germany to win at the penalty shootout.
Well, that's what all the pundits were saying, weren't they?
I was saying that as well.
Were you?
Yes.
You could say I couldn't hear you over the voice of the putnits.
Ah. I got I as soon as it went to extra time, I expected Germany to score. And of course they did have that goal that was disallowed.
Yes, they did.
And that was controversial. I can kinda see it both ways. The pundits definitely felt the goal should have been allowed.
Yes, they did.
And then it went to penalty shootout. And you're kinda thinking to yourself, Paraguay are gonna bottle it. Germany th I think they've won every penalty shootout they've ever had in a World Cup finals. Something like five in a row or something like that penalty shootouts they've won. And it just then all went it all went downhill. Downhill. Yeah. Anyway, it was good telly. Better telly if you were from Paraguay. And less good if you were from Deutschland. Yeah. But anyway, speaking of which, how about Scotland? How impressive were we?
Moving swiftly on.
Oh god we know how to party.
Yeah we just need to it's a good job we know how to party 'cause we can't play football. We just need to learn how to play football.

Yes.
The total number of webinars on Battability Club for all our wonderful, marvellous Battability Club members five hundred and fifty.
Exactly.
Yes.
I don't like that.
Well. It's not my fault.
I know, but you see, when you see something like that, like in a survey report or a scientific document, you kinda just think to yourself Somebody just rounded that up or rounded that down. Is that the real number?
I can assure you that that was not neither rounded up nor down. That is the true number. Six hundred and seventy four hours.
You see, that is that is a more scientific number to me, right? Six hundred and seventy-four. That is a number that suggests to me that someone actually had a clicker and clicked them in, one after the other, and they got six seven four. They didn't say seven hundred or six seventy or whatever.
