Matt is is left ‘holding the baby’ this episode as Pete decides there’s something far better on the TV than entertaining the great unwashed masses of the FOSS community. Given Matt’s chronic monophobia as reported in the Lower Piddle Gazette last Tuesday, Les Pounder (AKA lesp) and Jon Spriggs (AKA jontheniceguy) step in for a threesome with Matt.

We hear how Pete was let down by  Jon’s personal URL shortening service disapearing up its own jaxy which in turn broke just about every link on the shows website. As you would expect from a typical FOSS member it’s all someone else’s fault and anyway “I didn’t think he would use it here there and everywhere.“ 

Room x1101 makes a comeback with Flash being the target of Matt’s venom but flash finds an unlikely ally in jontheniceguy! Les finally reveals the only reason he came on the show was to pimp Ucubed and bleats on and on about it.

Tis the season to be jolly and the team are full of it! This episode we are joined by NYbill moderator for the Linux Outlaws forum, American (it’s not his fault) and all round good guy plus as a bonus his lovely wife wishes The Dick Turpin Road Show a Merry Christmas at the start.

We hear what the guys have done to give their hiding places that Christmas spirit, Matt and Bill talk about their new laptops and Pete is still going on about his parking fine.

Given it’s Christmas there’s a brass band interlude and the main discussion is about shops. For some strange reason the feed back section still has it’s music even though there is no feedback? But the boys finish up in classic festive style.

To one and all we wish you and your loved ones a very Merry Xmas

Pete & Matt
