Basically potatoes and spit. Yeah That's what you're getting here. No finer meal. Boulder is very nice. I went to Boulderwn't you? Yeah, because it's where Mor and Mindy was set You are so camp Say what now? It's happening again. Yes, time for some more half baked advice with me, Grahem Norton and my confidant and best friend Varia McCurland. Say what now? And little Raffy's here too. No, you're very excited. It looked like a little black pubic hair was ped. I thought, I can see your roots. Well It is spring, I am doue a wax. It is spring, isn't it nice? It's good. fininally. I need the little flowers. the daffods. Snowdrops hung up in the daffodils. M mind you, I've had daffodils since December, frankly. Well, they're now in this global warming. In the global warming the global warming. But no, spring is absolutely my favorourite because it's a promise of what's to come, which is a lovely summer. Fingers crossed. How old are you? Have you lived in this country long I've lived in this country since when we had seasons, which we don't seem to have anymore, but also it has felt like Graham a very long winter. Well, do I think because I started riding about about ten eleven years ago. This has been the wettest winter I can remember. You started writing about, did you? No, riding a bicycle. Riding a bicycle. Sorry, yes, yes, yes. I began riding a bicycle. I didnn't really hear that. You know. You mumble. mumble. Like the people on the television. But the rain as well Wind rain, no. But now little buds on trees and things and it is isn't it weird how and the evenings being light up? Yeah. But that somehow something sort of so d in us that we do genuinely have an emotional response to those things. And yet it happens every year. It shouldn't be a surprise, it shouldn't affect us any. I sure that in the olden days when we were you know walking on all fours, that we would have probably hibernated for the winter like bears do because that's what kind of I feel like doing every time the winter starts, the nights draw in Hibernating no. I feel like' very hungry. I feel like I'd wake I'd wake mid October and go, Oh, it's been a week I'm starving. I'm starving. But also what I like about this time of year is that everybody seems to be sort of cheerier. People have got to smile on their faces And I must say, that idea of spring cleaning, I don't understand spring cleaning. No. because never clean. Well, never clean. No, but also spring cleaning, you leave the house You know, so the idea of being in the house, cleaning it seems stupid. becausecause actually finally it's bright and' lovely and you want to get out with the dog and it's be an absolute cesspit in the. Brain cleaning does seem to have come from a day when you know you used to get books like Janet and John with mummies to brain cleaning while Daddy cleans the car. That kind of thing I remember I was getting a new car once and for some reason it was being differentlivered from Wales, I can't remember. And they drove up and they parked outside the office and my old car was there And they parked a new car and they said to me, Oh, just ad interest. You know, why are you changing your car? I went, Oh, that one's dirty. And the poor man's little face because he wasn't sure if I was joking He was like, you weren'toking. I was joking. but didn't Eve wasn't sure whether to think I was joking or not. So he was just like, Okay. It's funny. That's funny. Cs drive by dirty car away. It's making me feel ill. I am a bit like that. I don't really know what my car is apart from its maroon. Well Do you know registration. K something. I have no idea what mine is. No. But what about whher you have to park and put your registration in to avoid those. C't't do it. can't do it. Do it. Yeahah. or won't do it, great. Well both A and won't. And will you be where will you be for the summer? Where are you summering? Well I summery I'll probably do you know, as always, bit a summer in Ireland, I think, because it's you know, dog heaven and it's lovely H And this This year. Yeah. There's well, we had a hot tub But it was one of those inflatable hot tubs. Oh yeah. But' the job But now we've invested in swinger And I thought of some pumus grass right by the gate. Very good. What happened to the inflatable one? Well it's got to be let itself down. It really did let itself down. And the school. Everybody Yeah. So yeah, it is no more But you know what? We got a few years out of it. We got about five years out of it. And you're quite a hot tub fanatic No, fanatics is a big word for. But sometimes what's nice is, you know because although you talk about this very warm summer that's on the way Often, I'd find the summer's not so warm. So it's nice if it's fine to stay out stay out and keep warm. But if it's a hot tub, then you know, you can be quite cold outside and get in the hot tub, glass of wine, whatever you do. What's your favorite thing? It' be like one of those monkeys, one of those monkeys, know, the pictures of the monkeys who get in the hot springs And there's frost in their hair. They're like That's me painted a lovely picture of you and your husband in a hot tub. With your next door neighb peering over the fence. Hello, I couldn't happen notice. I having visitors. I heard the baubbles. Oh, and do what I love? A plastic glass of wine that floats on top of the water. That's living. What have you done with Gam Nu? Living that What have you done with Graham Nught? No No, because you can't bring glass at. That way, madness li. No, I know. It's an accident waiting to happen. I know, I have to drain the whole thing. What do you have to put in to keep it hygienic? Chemicals. Okay we leaving it at that? Yes. Would you like to get on? shall we?

There really is no escaping us. Mry out, please do us all a favor and ri open an envelope. I will You know, I don't rip them because I like to recycle. Thank you.. Dear Gamman Maria, I am a sixty eight year old, retired grandma and I live with my twenty five year old grandson. He works full time and we share the expenses of our flat No problems in that regard. Great. The problem is his room Oh My God and she has' punctuation after each word. Good honor. Since we moved in two years ago, he has never cleaned it I keep up with the rest of the flat and do most of the cooking, which is really no more than I would be doing if I lived alone. However, it's not my job to clean his space, nor does he ever ask me to. The problem is that it's really filthy and smelly. He comes downstairs to eat meals but does eat snacks in his room and never tidies the wrappers etc. Plus the room is literally carpeted with dirty clothes. I feel like there is some underlying pathology here and I have talked to him about it, but nothing happens. His personal hygiene is fine and he has a good job and a social life. He just lives in a pig pen. Any insight is welcome and that is from Grandma Linda in Colorado Grandma Lind, this is twenty five year olds, I think The problem is this is a flat. This is not like a house where somebody can disappear and keep the smelly door closed and things like. In a flat, it's like you can't really get away from that So I think he's been quite selfish Grandma Linda in Colorado And I think you have to be a little bit more dogmatic about making him do something about it because You do all the cooking I think there's a deal to be done here I will continue to cook, I hope you don't do his washing, Grandma, Linda But I will continue to cook you meals, but you have to give me something back. And that something is to stop your room being stinky and smelly So that's one way. or Grandma Linda could say, I'm going to have to get a cleaner just for your room and you are going to have to pay for it because you clearly, we've talked about it before you're not doing it yourself and I can't live in this fashion. The Prom is, I think Grandma Linda is a bit frightened of him, doesn't want to alienate him. That's what I'm feeling from this. What are you? It's tricky isn't it? because know You say you feel as an underlying pathology here. but I think the underlying pathology is twenty five. He doesn't, you know, because that is how you live, you know. I need to find my clothes Why there they are. Row handy rightight where I left them. You know, it's much easier to get into bed I just got out of. all that sort of stuff The thing that should make a difference here, Grandma Linda is if God is good and he meets someone If there was something resembling a partner, a girlfriend, or a boyfriend, something I think that would his ID's up. But Grandma Linda has to wait for that moment. Well, I think the thing is Grandma Linda You you just gott look It's gotten too far now because you know, there's crumbs in there. I've started finding bugs, even if you haven't just say you have. And I think the two of you I know we're just laughing about this idea of spring cleaning, but Do a kind of like, right, we are gonna tackle your room. Why is she got to help? Because it just starts the ball rolling. Oh yeah. Be, because if she keeps nagging him, he'll just go, you know, screw you, Ganny and either move out or double down. Screw you, Granny. Yeah. Screw you, Ganny. They live in Colorado. I know. I notice the American accent. Is that sort of thing they say. I was very impressed Granny Linda. Yeahah. Hey bro, clean your room bro. I'm Ganny Linda now. Oh right, yeah. She's down with the kids. I'm not making you grit some pie Unless you clean your room bro. Do you think they live in Boulder, Colorado? I hope so. Boulder is very nice. I went to Boulddererw. Dn't you? Yeah, because it's where Mor and Mindy was set You are so camp Wh you gay? I didn't find the house. Oh loved more commendi. I loved, no no. I feel like we've drifted away from them. I know. Is see any opportunity to get back to us? Yeah, no, here's the thing. I think if you help him Do a big screwing clean, help him and get it back to the way because I think he'll like it. I think he'll like the satisfaction of God of oh, you know All the codes are off there. bolded away, I've hoovered the carpet. We've got rid of all the kind of bits of old cris packets and, you know,. I think he'll be like, oh actually this is nicer. You know, Granny Linda wasn't as stupid as I thought. I But she has got a bargaining to because she's making him food. That's quite a good one, frankly. I'm making you food. you know, this is your Dani'll just bring takeaway I needat it in the bed in the bed and it'll be even worse. I do quite like your idea of bugs introducing bugs into this. We don't actually be bugs. No, no no. But pretend bugs. She say I have found. We have an investation. have an investation. And I believe I know where it began. Yeah And it's not my room. That McDonald's wrapper. Yeah. Any ideas, grandson? But also the idea that she should get a cleaner in and it should pay That's not bad idea. That's not about when he won't pay for it. So then they'll have a fin, you know, because look, the thing is, Grandma Linda in Colorado, you are doing remarkably well There must be a lot of people listening to this, maybe who are thinking, wow, I wish I had your problem because they might be living with a young person, be it a grandchild or a son or daughter and thinking That sounds fine by me. I would ill for nothing but a dirty bedroom So punish him for this because you just want better for him. You just want him to live his life at a c. So we don't know, you know, somebodyks about she talks about the pathology. and we don't know what the situation was. She's bringing up her grandson. so there's a generation missing here. We don't know what that is. So I feel that Granny Linda is possibly making kind of exceptions for him. And it's only two years. So he wass twenty three when he moved in. Yeah So you know, he was he was a proper grown up adult when he moved in. Yeah. Shall we see what the Wangers I'm interested to see what the Wangers want to do. I think they're going to be quite tough. I think they are. I think they're going to suggest industrial cleaners or kicking them out. Tera Saya. And if that's how you pronounce it, T ER. If you believe that, I. I see ER. or it could be Tia Teracea, probablym. Tsia. I just call them Terry. I know them a little better than you and I just call them Terry. Where does Terry live then? Tulsa Oklahoma. You've read that. Yeah. I can re. Well, anyway, they say as long as it doesn't spill out into the rest of the house, it's not the house, it's a flat. Let it just be his apartment. It's a boulder Colorado. Yeahah. it's two floors, so it's like a duplex. There's an alien lives upstairs It's not Morkin Mindy. She doesn't live in the Morkan Mindy house. Shp. Just keep the door closed. One day he will grow out of it or not. If he ever brings a date around, he'll have to clear the garbage. It took my children a while to understand the concept of tidying up. If all else is going well, try not to stress too much. Thank. Do know what part of it is, I think is that thing of moving out of your house There's a sense of independence. So all the stuff you couldn't do when you were living at home. Yeah. now he gets to do And part of that is never picking anything up. Yeah, but he's got somebody else he's sharing the place with. and if you were sharing with contemporaries, they would be kind of on your case as well.. Not if it's your room I told you about the lady I shared was with the budgie. Yes, you did. I mean, that was cause for concern. Yes. But her room, I didn't care what went on in there. It was just the budgie. Well, because we had to all sit in that room reallyally aggressive budg. For those people that don't know about the budgie, see episode twenty three whatever. Google it. It made all the papers Kristen in Mexico city says, Since the g, what's happened to this podcast Have we been bought by some international conglomerate? I think these are all bots. don't you? They're all bots. Mexico city, how are you? Yeah. Since the grandson is otherwise functioning well, this sounds less like a deep issue and more like different standards of cloneliness. If possible, I'd suggest hiring a cleaner for his room once a week or every two weeks with him paying for it. It solves a smell, keeps the peace and avoids turning into a constant argument. Sometimes it's better to manage the mess than try to change the person. Well, that much is true. Yes, and this will be who this guy is for a while yet And then eventually, you know, because Well may maybe there are old people who live like this. I think so. Wh just live in mess. No. I think there are lots of people who do live in mess, but you're right, it does make you feel better if you don't live in mess. Do we have a voice note? Yes, we do. It's from Syitham Bille in South Africa. Oh The international favor continues This is a cleaner room or move out scenario. You are eldaly and now more than ever making sure that the spaces you occupy are clean and hygienic This must be a priority for you, so he needs another sit down and the ultimatum given to him. Sit down and ultimatum. Yeah. I'm not sure I think it's got to that point at the moment. She's only actually mentioned it to him once. And also, like I say This isn't the worst problem in the world. It's a bug bear for Linda. She wishes his roomors tidy, but you know, he's a good kid. He's holding down a job, he's got a social life, he helps around the house, know and he's paying his way. You know, So tick, tick, tick, tick tick. Yes, if you open that door, it takes your breath away Don't open that door. That's the other thing. I think Linda's been looking in that room a bit too much. Yeah. Keep the door shut. Well, it's bugging her I mean, I have a got child who does a similar thing and I My hands itching to get in there and fold. Fld things where. I know, you mustn't do it. must do it. You mustn't do it. Okay, Ellis says If talking hasn't resolved the situation, then the grandma needs to go to the fishmongers. buy the stinkest stinkiest fish possible, cut it up and hide chunks around the room. The stench will be so bad and he won't know where it's coming from, so he'll be forced to give the room a deep clean. But sadly, Linda has to share the space. Yes, I feel like you've made the problem worse, Alice. not better. You've introduced more smells. It's the opposite of help It's Iur. What about this? Big John on the Gold Coast? John? Does no one live in the UK any? No. Why we've been in this room, wonder they shut the country? Yeah. Pretty much yes. Send help. Big John on the Gold Coast says she could negotiate an agreement that she will be happy to keep cooking for him if he agrees to tidy his room daily. Are you B bigig John on the room Wash she smelly clothes regularly. The lads love having meals cooked for them, or it would be fun to get an army basic training sergeant. Now you've gone too far big John, Army basic training sergeant in early every morning to yell at him until he agrees to her terms. Wake up slackger, getet out of bed now you lezy maggot If this room's not tidy in five minutes, you'll give me fifty push upps, Bro Big John writes fiction, I believe. He's working on a novel. Well, Big John certainly knows where the capital Yatton is on his t right up. Paps Lock is firmly firmly engaged. Grandaelinda, we wish you all the very best in your pig sty. Thank you so much for writing in. and we hope you've received some inspiration in the midst of all of that. That's one I'd like to follow up on actually. Yes, and also photographs. If I come to Balouldderer, Colorado, will you show me the Walker Mindy House, please? I Let it go, Graham, let it go.

Is she smells. She's very nice, she cooks with dinner but o does she honk. Dear Graham and Maria, I need your help to stop my retired English husband from digging his heels into Philippine soil We met ten years ago in Vietnam while I was on a solo trek. He has spent twenty years living across Asia for work I spent those same twenty years climbing the corporate ladder at a bank in Manila. We're tralling around, aren't we? We survived a long distance marriage for a decade. Now we're both retiring. He wants to stay in the Philippines permanently. He says he's done with the UK. Here is the snag I spent my youth dreaming of living abroad like a proper explorer. I worked hard, I saved, now I want my turn to be the expat, but he refuses to move back to England How do I convince a man who has seen the whole world to pack his suitcase one last time? or is there a middle ground where he gets his tropical sun and I get my foreign adventure I'm a retired bank executive. I can manage employees, but I cannot manage my husband me before I stage a boardroom coup in our living room. Warmly, your Filipino listener, Chescaa. Chesa, this is really one, I think, because you know, youve done this It kind of strikes me that why haven't they spoken about this before Well, because I think what's interesting here is they've spent a decade with a kind of long distance relationship And they were both busy, they were in different places And now Literally he's come home to Rs. Yeah because And they made that work the ten years. Yes. So I'm suggesting if it worked then You know, Repeat that. The other alternative, Tesska is to do what a lot of people do. I mean, funds, I don't know what the funds will be like, but spend summer in the Philippines or you know come back here for the summer, come back to the UK for summer and do adventures around the UK. I mean, most people are getting out of the UK, frankly. Well all our listeners have New Mexico, the Gold Coast, Colorado Philippines and now the Philippines. Yeah. I mean there is there's a way aroundound this and you're not teenagers anymore that have to be in each other's pockets. You have survived ten years It feels like you want to kind of settle into retirement with somebody by your side. But I think this is a common problem, I think when people retire having been busy and then suddenly, oh I'm forced to spend all day every day with the person I've been married to for some time And that's a lot because actually you've both had your own space, you've both had your own lives, but you've had this nice connection of the last ten years, where you met each other later in life when you were doing this stuff And I feel like Just get away See. Well, they both actually had a vision of what it was going to be like when they retired Sadly They don't share that vision. And it's a shame this didn't come up ten years ago. That's what I mean. They haven't actually spoken about this and now it's suddenly upon them. So I do think, do the long distance because then you both have things to bring to the party. What kills, I think, when people retire, is that they spend twenty four hours a day. Nobody has anything new to say because you've known each other and been married for so long And you do things together, therefore you see those couples sitting in restaurants not saying anything. I mean, I think the other thing, Jessica, I unclear whether you have spent time in the UK before. I feel like she hasn't I feel like this will be a new thing And so That's a big decision. You may not like it as much as you think you're going to. Trust us, we live here. It's changed quite a lot, Jessica. This is entertainment here You sure You sure you want to move here? No, but I think you know Hire a house for a couple of months. Yeah. You know, have an extended holiday here. That's what I'm saying. Travel around here. G him to travel around here because probably he doesn't know very much about the Lake District or Scotland or Ireland. You know, it's a big old place. Yeah. but it's empty as well. Yeah, but yes, it is now. But I think it's got to be the weather will be a shock The cost of living is going to be a shock, Chessa. You know, what are we doing here, Gran? I know Why are we still here? These are the questions. I' writing Should we write to each other? Yeah. I'm voting for getting rid of the grandson and moving in with Granny Linda. He's a stripey top and a suspender, Yeah. Granny Linda Well have we got the breakfast tray Linda So Jessica, I think be careful what you wish for. Don't put everything on this because I think it may not be the dream retirement you think it's going to be. I think she has a vision of you know, going to the Bakers in a lovely little Cotswold village withith a little basket. And actually that's Clarkson's Farm and there's a huge cube. There is a lovely littleittle Cotswold's village, but it would take twenty five million to buy a shack then. Yeah, exactly. Al I get a feeling with both Linda and her husband, they're not giving and taking very much. Should we see what the listeners say? Shall we? Yeah. Wangus Helen says Frankly, has she spent any time in the UK in the winter unkers. I really feel like this may solve her problem. Yeah Yeah Ben says, I imagine lots of my fellow Wangers are wondering why you'd ever want to move to the UK. But I get that it's your time to do what your husband spent his life doing. If money isn't really an issue, what about first having a holiday, exploring parts of the UK that are new to both of you? Maybe you'll find the dream village to retire to. Maybe they will. They won't. A word, maybe Sheila says. It seems to me that you and your husband are as bad as each other Surely you've had conversations about retirement after twenty years together Fankly, I don't blame your husband for wanting to swerve the UK But there must be compromise somewhere How about England for the summer months on the Philippines for the rest of the year Kind of think we said that. Yes. And would say, can I just say, I feel like we are giving the UK a very bad rap here. Like I like living here. You know, I've chosen here. I left Ireland And this is where I bt my life And yeah, so it's not that bad. I know, but I'm quite liking the Wangers. We're seeing where the Wangers are coming from. I know really. Lind And in brackets and Lily I'll be sent packing in a minute.. Yeah You go back to where you're from. UK's version of Iice will be up you. Linda and Lillily, the teacup poodle, says, Dear Bardroom coup, you've already survived a long distance relationship, so I think the answer is fairly obvious. Why don't you spend six months in England and six months in the Philippines. See this is all good advice. What a very wise teacup ood that is Y. Exactly. Sally says, perhaps there is some middle ground. Could you persuade your husband to spend some time in the UK, say five years, to satisfy your desire to be an expat? Then after five years of cold and rain and high living expenses, you might like to go back east if they're still alive. Yeah Well,, here's the thing I do think that's what you need to be thinking about because you know I sometimes see people and they retire to some cottage in the middle of nowhere and then suddenly, we, you know there's no hospital for miles around here. There aren't any deliveries I think you actually need to plan for who you're going to be, not who you are right now. Yeah. So where everyone likes to think ahead to illness and druction. But you know, where are you going to be Where will have you the better healthcare? Where will you have the better quality of life as you get older? Yeah That's the thing you need to under. You pay for a defibrillator somewhere? In my house? No, I thought you paid for something in the village. There's defibrillators on the head On the road, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Did you get that? I think did I get money. did and then it got vandalized. No It' used Oh. Same thing. Yeah, You can only use them once. Can you? No. I don't know. I love that. No No, I know what I think about them. So anyway, I just think find out where your best end of life is going to be. That's what retirement is. It is It's the third act. I know, but' o, the curt will be down in a minute. But I think people always feel in the same way as not making a will. You feel if I talk about the end of life It will you know, it'll happen. The grrim reaper is the end of my bed waiting with his scthe and his skelety head to take me away. Is it skelety head? we say skelety head I don't know what it means. It's where I'm moving to. Skelet smallall cottage on skelety head There nice. Well I'll spend my final days, The third act, as Graham calls it. Yes. By the way, thanks to all the Bits for those glowing reviews of the UK. If you've anything positive to say about living here in this country, do leave a comment below the video on YouTube or Spotify Perhaps Jessica's husband could be persuaded if he scrolls down. I'd like to think that he could be. And thanks Jessica for emailing the show. Just time for final Am I weird, which of course was sent in using our email address, which is Wanging on this not go to UK and that's the email address you use if you want to submit a dilemma or if you're a wanger giving advice. Right, what's our Am I Weird to this week? Today's Am I Weird is from Tony. Oh yes.. Hi Gram M Maria. I love wanging on with you in the car on the way to work pondering a lot about your am I weird segment and was looking for your opinion When I was younger, my siblings and I used to love crisps. We used to k our mum to chew the crisps and feed them to us No, but do move back We used to get our mum to chew the crispsp and feed them to us like a bird would do to its hatchlings. and not any old crisps. It had to be pato, cheese and onion. I knew this was from Ireland. I knew this was from Ireland Sometimes I wonder would I enjoy it now as much as I did as a kid Does this make me weird? If not, should I pursue asking someone close to me to feed me some potatoes? Best wishes and take care, Tony, this is not my real name. No shit, Tony I you think he's just yanking our chain here? No, he's telling the truth. Is this an Irish custom? No, no no, but I can imagine. How the mother agreed to this, I don't know But she did and she did it and the little kids liked it going Tato, Tato. Tato, Tato. It would be potatoes as well, wouldn't it from Ireland? Basically potatoes and spit. Yeah. That's what you're getting here. No finer meal. She sure it binds it together Yeah little bit of parsley I'm gonna say weird, weird family, weird mum. Oh no Weird crisp. They were kid th Tato crisps are really good No, they are good. Oh I love it on ourir lingus they go, would you have a totato? Did they say that? And I was like, Yes I would And Chris are so weird aren't they? Because if you have one little packet of Chris. Yeah, they're delicious. And then two. And then you have another one because they sort Oh, sorry I had that now.. So I think Tony Inner workings of Graham's mind. No I think Tony, the question, what he's asking is, would he enjoy it as much now as he did then? No, you would not Probably more What did you enjoy it more? Well, I think there's, you know, this is sort of a fetishy thing, isn't it? Oh, do you think he's going to get off on it? To have to have masticated food from somebody else's mouth that he's suggesting, I don't know, you know, a neighbour Maybe you're bot at work. So you got to get a profession a professional person in to do it. Yeah I do that as a sideline. I chew people's food as a sideline. thenen I space it into a plastic bag and I send it to them. You're so good. And some socks as well. You're so thoughtful. In the same packet. Socks and chewed food. It's a specialist subject, but I am on top of it. Tony, if you can get someone to do this, I suggest you try because we can't answer the question if he enjoyed as much now as he did then He loved it then. I think if you can get someone agree to chew a potato and spit it into your mouth Knock yourself out. I feel like this is something from the word in the nineteen nineties. You know where they Yeah somebody to vomit and then drink it or something. Yeah they used to get people to kiss grannies with no teeth in and stuff. It's really not nice. Tony, that's not your real name. I just think you should let this go and never speak of it again. Is the mother still alive, I wonder. I mean, it's The mother will deny all knowledge of this If he brings it up at Christmas she'll go no that never happened. That's a lote. No, she's right to do that. Yeah, no, she's right. Do you know? I think Tatoand shut down. No. Yeah. Why? I don't know, mrter Potato couldn't hack it anymore. I don't know. Tatoand. Well that was a big kind of draw, wasn't it? It was like LegO land, but for potatoes So Irish, I'm sorry. Lego land for potatoes. You can't stack potatoes player. It doesn't work. It was a toothpick.
