Speaker 1 (00:07):
You're listening to the Marcus lash Nights podcast from News
Talks at b.

Speaker 2 (00:13):
Oh by the way. Because World War three is on
its way. Costco, which I still have never been to,
they are now selling all right, get this. They are
now selling like emergency security kits. And if you go

(00:39):
to Costco, right, and you spend two thousand, five hundred dollars, right,
you get a palette of food here we go that

(01:03):
will last for twenty five years and has got yeah,
five four hundred servings for two four hundred and ninety
nine dollars, and based on one serving a day of
the food items, a palette could last nearly eleven years.

(01:25):
Each bucket has eighty entrees and sides, thirty breakfasts, and
forty drinks. And the palette's got thirty six of those buckets.
I've looked and I want to be a part of it.
It's like a doomsday prepper. It's all your food for
eleven years, and it's got a shelf life for twenty
five years. Anyone else can I get into that? Russell?

(01:51):
It's Marcus.

Speaker 3 (01:52):
Good evening, Hi Marcus.

Speaker 4 (01:54):
We're just talking about parking and then the Queen I
go to the cagle and I can't work at how
to work them. And I said, it's thirty minutes free packing.
And then I've just many people coming past and we
can't work out how to work. Go to Queenstown coming

(02:17):
out of the airport and put your ad and it
just says decline.

Speaker 2 (02:25):
Oh wow, then what do you do?

Speaker 4 (02:26):
So I worked. I looked around and found a case machine.
Then I was talked made in my mind and he
was there a month or two ago, and Coats of
the Yarden Eye he was there. He couldn't works button.

Speaker 2 (02:45):
You know the yard Eye could Oh yeah, Russell, Yeah,
same name as yours.

Speaker 3 (02:50):
Right exactly, Yeah, he could. He couldn't get it. He
couldn't get it to work. So he pressed the button
to get the boss out. And the boss said, I
don't worry about pain because you're out.

Speaker 2 (03:02):
It just it just said, decide, don't worry about paying
to you as well.

Speaker 3 (03:06):
I just cootsy no just him' yeh.

Speaker 5 (03:11):
I pay cash love.

Speaker 2 (03:12):
That'd be a worry. He was all big in the
old protest. Was he the anti VAXX? I'd Russell remember
that anyway, eighteen passed eight o'clock. Keep your names and
calls coming through eight hundred and eighty fested by this
this emergency Russian spect from Costco. Say more about that
when I got a chance. Craig Marcus, welcome, good evening,
Hi Craig.

Speaker 6 (03:33):
How's it going this evening?

Speaker 7 (03:34):
Good?

Speaker 2 (03:34):
Thank you, Craig. How are you going all right?

Speaker 5 (03:36):
I'm too bad.

Speaker 6 (03:37):
I've had a few issues with allSome parking over the years.
I mean, I think they sort of try and get
away with war there than they can. And we've packed
and went up to Hamilton and packed them on the
car parks there in the sign on the next machine
said out of service, not working or whatever. So we
parked here and come back and we had a little
print out things stuck on the under the windscreen saying

(03:58):
that you are able to tucker? What going?

Speaker 2 (04:01):
Where were you? You say, you go up to Hamilton
where you're from?

Speaker 6 (04:05):
I'd just out of Hamilton, not far.

Speaker 2 (04:07):
Oh okay, okay, so that's your local town.

Speaker 5 (04:09):
Okay.

Speaker 2 (04:09):
See out of Hamilton, you go to Hamilton, there's a silence,
is out of service and they so you just parked
their willy nilly.

Speaker 6 (04:16):
Yeah, and they give you and they gave us a
ticket anyway, So I took a photo of the out
of service thing and fucked it through to the guy
and they go goes, oh sorry, I don't know why
a guy would have done there, And I think, well,
the guys that do the tickets for the same company
that does it, really but I don't know.

Speaker 2 (04:30):
But Craig, what I would have thought of it said
out of service? I would have thought I'd go to
another machine and not use that, because you know all
ways that parking companies are dodgers all get out and
always trying to scam it.

Speaker 6 (04:41):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, but that was the only machine in
the parking yard.

Speaker 2 (04:44):
Oh yeah, you go somewhere if there's anything, I let
you go somewhere else.

Speaker 8 (04:48):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (04:48):
And then in Hamilton here I noticed that if the
council car is doing around for the parking, but they're
also now giving you tickets if you don't let if
you don't have a regstration or Warren Phillis in your
car as well, they's ticketing you for that as well.
So they're kind of getting taking money from the police
as well.

Speaker 2 (05:03):
So I stay in your lane Hamilton Council.

Speaker 6 (05:08):
Yeah, I mean a friend of mine was parking, he
packed legally had pay for it all there and he
gets a ticket because the warrant was out and under
the windscreen. Says it was like a turn it off. Fine,
it's like how far how much money do they need?
But shupest, I don't know. I think it's this big
brother getting a little bit too out of control.

Speaker 5 (05:25):
Really, Oh, I love it.

Speaker 2 (05:26):
When they say big brother out of control. How much
was your ticket?

Speaker 5 (05:30):
For?

Speaker 6 (05:30):
Wilson's was thirty eight dollars or something, so it wasn't much,
but yeah, but we went there that long. It was
this principal, the fact that set out a service and
it was the only terminal in the entire little car park.
There was only one terment. It was only a small
car park, and I was like, well where else he
supposed to park? Because the store we were going into

(05:50):
his right next door. So I'm not lugging furniture halfway
down the road to another car park and it's.

Speaker 2 (05:55):
Just stupid as a furniture store.

Speaker 6 (05:58):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, it was just right next door. So
I just opened the boot up, went in there. We'd
already pay for it online when it picked it up,
came back and there's a ticket on the windscreen. So
the guy's pretty you would have seen us.

Speaker 2 (06:07):
If you just if you're just going and picking up
your tool boy or whatever and chuck it in the boat,
that's like a three minute job.

Speaker 9 (06:14):
I know.

Speaker 6 (06:15):
He must have been waiting around the corner and go
just left them. Yeah, catch and.

Speaker 2 (06:19):
Killed right like our trumpet, kitch and killed. They're just hiding.
They've put that on. Here he comes, here comes another.

Speaker 6 (06:25):
It must have like a camouflage uniform at Glems and dish.

Speaker 2 (06:29):
Let's go to did you did you was it? Did
you say it was a printed sign on handwritten.

Speaker 6 (06:34):
I was a printed sign with their company logo in
the corner of it hanging on the machine. That's a
company one, But yeah, there was. It's just more of
an we got offered anyway, but it's just an inconvenience.
Really sing well, how can how many other stuff and
people get not getting away with the good.

Speaker 2 (06:51):
On your car parking nightmares? Car parking nightmares, Bennett's Marcus
good evening.

Speaker 5 (07:01):
You get it. They wanted to do away with those
little place to ticket things that you put on your
used to put on your window ins for the car.
People used to bot them out the window and they
clog the drains up and they don't break down and
you know, of course you get a big gown call
and the drain doesn't drain proply, so I know they

(07:21):
had issues with that. But then you know the old
ones that they used to have, the old black ones
and used to just put the coin in and then
flet read on the other side when I love that. Yeah, yeah,
but the shove was you could people used to go
out and open the up with a flat blade screw
driver and you know, rob the coins out of them.
So they did away with that and they got those

(07:42):
little ones. They've got them more around hawk On and
Wellington and they put little salt in on them. Used
to go to put the coins in there, and you
know they print the ticket. But now now they're trying
to get cashless because they don't have to pay someone
to go around and collect all the coins in that
and they don't have to replace the role when it
runs out.

Speaker 2 (08:02):
So I'm liking you call a great deal for all
sorts of I'm liking your court has been quite right.
And Otago Harbor and Dunedin out one of the islands,
Criantine Island, all the old parking tickets just got bled
out to see ended up on the beaches because they
wouldn't dissolve.

Speaker 5 (08:18):
Yeah yeah, because they hit that. You know.

Speaker 10 (08:22):
It was sort of like plastic key yeah, plastically plastic
yep yeah yeah, yeah yeah, quite off.

Speaker 2 (08:30):
Quite often it was council workers themselves stealing all the money.
That often catch a guy at home with buckets full
of coins. There's been a few stories like that as well.
You know, I just couldn't help themselves.

Speaker 5 (08:41):
Yeah yeah, Well, like how many sports on around these days,
I don't think these other ones you can you can
pay from your phone, so if it hangs on concrete,
you can send a message and it'll just take it
straight off. You get a bullet in the month in
your phone. All you can pay. We're using your technicoy

(09:02):
cards and stuff like that. The trouble is if you
don't ever deal it. Car a lot of the new ones,
there's no way to didn't see the cab and the
top and the him. It's mainly a tip.

Speaker 2 (09:15):
Should we be upset that parking wardens are out of
a job, because they'd be a hell of it. I
did a sturround a parking warden once and the woman
had a walking past the building starting they throw a
watermelon at a.

Speaker 5 (09:30):
I think there's over the top well of the parking meter.
Water began five mate, you know, five minutes later death
or the regils up by a couple of days. So yeah,
I noticed, like you know, Deacon's deck in the all day,
you know, just going you know your regio nowadays I'm

(09:51):
just taking your straight away.

Speaker 2 (09:53):
Do you've had stayed up fights with the packing mordens?

Speaker 5 (09:57):
Nothing physical or you know, just you know, you know
it's looking down the post shore, you know, do you
read or something?

Speaker 2 (10:09):
Yeah, that quite hard to convince or sway. I've always
found there's one guy in there's one guy in the
cargo talking about trout fishing. He was good, you could
do that way and you could, but but you know
that was about that. That was rare to find a
guy that was divertible like that, being nice to talk.
Thank you, hold your horses. People are talking about parking
wardens Marcus in Timanu for many years now. If you

(10:31):
park in town, parking wardens, do parking registration. We're on
a fitness fines. I think these days in Timanu that'd
be excited if you did park in town because looking
a bit desolate anyway, how you're going people, we've already
heard overreach and big brother tequit you hearing you do
a program on parking wardens. I was going to tell

(10:54):
the guy he should have got a bust in, but
I was getting furniture. Should have got the furniture delivered?
What should he would have? The worst parking wardens is Hamilton.
That's what people seem to be saying. There's a guy
in Central Auckland boy o boy and older guy who's
like leading the charge for I shouldn't sound agees, but
boy boy, that guy he's tickling like there's no tomorrow.

(11:15):
Should have been a song written about him.

Speaker 9 (11:17):
Oh.

Speaker 2 (11:18):
Someone said there's no John Bowden on their total. I
might have been. It might have been. I've probably advised
you to vote for someone in the wrong district. Guys,
I just it was just on a Facebook feed. Hang,
I just I think he might be in a sub
I thought it was a ward system. Oh okay, sorry
to tell you to vote for the wrong person. There's

(11:38):
a bit of a fail on it. It's a place
called Yeah, okay, it might have already it might have
been a by election or something. But good that you
went to check it out in your form and voted
straight away after I told you it might have been
going for me? Or is he I just try and

(11:59):
work out. I've just try and google this up people,
So I'm sad to send you a CROC. I don't
think he's going for me. Can It's for twenty twenty
four Tott on the city council election. I can't believe
you haven't done this yourself. People, I'm having to do

(12:20):
this for you, maybe Withdrew scrolling scrolling, scrolling, Mount mong
and ui Ward not there, it seems to a lot
of people. You're quite right. I can't see his name.
I'll go through more slowly. I might gave you a
falsely there that's embarrassing. Oh well, no, oh there is

(12:47):
John Bowden and Mount mongui Ward for there you go.
Oh no, he's in the Papa Moa Award. Papa Moer
goes Archer Bowden, Coleman, Rea Hall to Morty. There you go, straight, shooter,
that's the guy you want. Bowden, who great texts and

(13:09):
I'll get to those, but subtracked by that other text
which Shity has the worst. Well, I suppose subs ey
at all. Someone wants to know and it's what I thought,
first thing, I don't want to be going between topics,
but this cost Coat story is amazing. Cost Co rolls

(13:31):
out of agent emergency food kits that can keep you
going for eleven years. It's got a shelf life for
twenty five years. The ready Wise bucket contains one hundred
and fifty servings included including pasta alfredo and chicken pop pie,
and it's seventy nine bucks after twenty buck discount, so

(13:52):
it means of servings of fifty cents each, which is extraordinary.
But those really wanting to stock up and with plenty
of storage, Costco has seen the kits by the palette.
The ready Wise palette has five thousand foreign servings for
two thousand and five hundred based on one serving, and

(14:14):
now of the food items, the palate could last eleven years.
A lot of people out there be thinking jeep, it's
creeps eleven years of meals for two and a half
thousand dollars arm all in. Each bucket has eighty entrees inside,
thirty breakfast and forty drinks. Water must be added to
turn the dried food into meals. The palate contains thirty

(14:37):
six of these buckets, or two eighth and eighty mains
in sides one thousand and eighty breakfast and fourteen forty drinks.
But as someone points out, you probably need an AK
seventy eight to defend yourself and defend your food supply.
Someone says, if the apocalypse doesn't kill you, the preservatives will. Anyway.

(15:06):
I'm tempted. Not that I think there's going to be
World War three down in Bluff, but what a talking point.
And you can just have it as a feature of
your lounge, like, have your table on it. It's got
pasta alfredo, cheesy macaroni. Who doesn't like that? Terry archy rice,
creamy pasta, vegeble soups, potato pop pie, chicken noodle soup,

(15:29):
apple cinnamon cyreal that sounds delicious, and vanilla pudding. Well,
I reckon, if you're in the bunker eating the same
food for eleven years, I reckon, things can get bad
quite quickly.

Speaker 8 (15:43):
Now.

Speaker 2 (15:44):
Texts, I promise you about the texts, Marcus. In the sixties,
the Meat and Maids as they record, were local celebrities.
Lorna was popular and bubbly and everyone loved her. Choys
helps my quel, which is really painful. No that's two.
That's two texts combined. Marcus two years ago had major surgery,

(16:09):
was a hospital for a month. When I got home,
I wasn't bed bound for another month. Since then, have
not watched Oh gee, all these TEXTA codes were combined. Anyway,
I'm sorry, but that that made no sense. Wembleton has
two hour free parking in the city center. When did
people start calling a Wemblton I quite like that. Wha

(16:30):
Wembleton has two hour free Well why didn't you go
there to get as a tall boy? No way should
you have to move to another park of the car parking?
People can't get it right. I just know you don't
mess with you. Don't mess with Wilson's cause Wilson's is
going to kill you. No, that's not quite true. That

(16:54):
was to be found to an MMM song, but you'd
stay well clear of them. Many Marcus councils collect infringements
on behalf of nded TA for warrant, fitness and registration
expiring bucks. Each of the money goes to nz TA,
not to councils. Marcus councils have always been able to
find for ex registrational warrant, usually two hundred a pop.

(17:17):
But you have so many days to get the world
of registration and they will cancel the ticket. So a
lot of people are saying parking Wardens and Hamilton have
always done in Ridgio, I paid for the car park
at Wilson's. They gave me a ticket for every hour
was there. Ended up being about two grand. So yeah,
definitely always giving out tickets even if you paid for

(17:38):
the parking regards, Toby, great show, Marcus. For someone on
the spectrum like me, that Cisco ration packet is music
to my ears, will do some due diligence. So what
do you mean you're on the spectra? Old there, Mike.
Does that mean that you would like that because you
tell me about the spectrum and food? Does that mean
that you'd like it because you don't want food? That's

(18:01):
tell me a bit about that. How does that affect
you on the spectrum. Does that mean now that you
don't have to worry about food or it's not going
to be tell me. I don't really understand that, but
I think I'm into you, Marcus. Can you tell all
the hosts on news tooksz'd be that it was not
an inflation problem. It was never inflation. It was stagflation,

(18:24):
telling yourself, I don't know that you're right, but her keys,
I know they're texted before. They have been texting all
the other hosts cheers money. Oh, just on American News updates.
This footage now of Biden coming off Air Force one,

(18:45):
walking very slow and pauses multiple times. He's got COVID
as well as Nancy Pelosi has told him it is over.
That not only has he got no chance of beating Trump,
but also to it means that the whole Democrats will
have no chance to dominate the Senate if he maintained.
So there's going to be some exciting things happened in
the next couple of weeks. That's when it goes to
American politics. But anyway, we are talking parking tickets and

(19:08):
doomsday preppers. When you can buy an American way a
palette of food for two thy five hundred, it'll last
you for It'll last for twenty five years, and then
once you start eating it lasts for eleven years, So
which means once fourteen years goes and Armageddon hasn't happened,

(19:30):
I guess you just start eating it. I guess some
of us will think is it worth trying to survive.
I've just got to eat pecketed food for eleven years.
I don't know what the answer is there, mind, Jue.
You know I didn't go through the whole stockade of
stalin Grad when they're all eating rats and stuff. I
mentioned probably in some circumstances that food could be quite good.

(19:53):
You might want to mention that nine away from nine o'clock.
My name is Marcus. Welcome Hitill twelve. Anything else you
want to go on about tonight? If you've got a
weather update, fog pretty bad out there, use your fog
lights or not. It's been about three mon and it's
looking for the fog lights on my car last night,
having read the manual which said if your car is
fitted with fog lights, which of course it wasn't. Would

(20:18):
it be too much just to ask for one manual
for each car? Quit to saving the excitement of looking
from a fog lights and looking forward to that. If
you've got breaking news, we I'll do let us know.
My name is Marcus Head twelve, eight hundred and eighty
ten eighty and nine nine two de text freezing cold
school holiday day, looking forward to it. Input Marcus often

(20:43):
hear the use of verse as the verb for verses.
How long has that been a thing? Been a thing
for a long time, Marcus. State Hallway twenty nine closed
last night and tonight eight pm to three am. Well
sort of that walk A good day, Leo, Marcus.

Speaker 5 (20:58):
Welcome Marcus.

Speaker 2 (21:02):
You sound well, Box of Birds? How are you going?
All right?

Speaker 7 (21:06):
Box of Birds?

Speaker 9 (21:07):
Do that.

Speaker 7 (21:09):
I'm a bit confused over these steed dumps. Now I
agree with them after a point, but then such streets
we're we're in both north some street, there's a another streets.
He hit the odd one. But well, my question is

(21:33):
what does that do to the suspension in the car?

Speaker 9 (21:38):
Great?

Speaker 2 (21:39):
Great, great question, great question.

Speaker 7 (21:43):
Because I see that is. Yes, it's beneficial to work,
that's both me doing. But I mean it's an expense
of a normal joker driving his car.

Speaker 2 (21:58):
You go, now we're now we're talking about it.

Speaker 7 (22:02):
It's you know, there's there's a lot of problems with
what say you drive around Parmistons.

Speaker 2 (22:16):
Parmiston or Parmison North, Parmison North.

Speaker 7 (22:21):
Better rain on the streets in the street margins are shocking,
you know, the right street margins and rain And I'm
not very clear.

Speaker 2 (22:33):
No We've heard that discussion a week or two, but
gets what you can't see them, so I reckon that.
So the speed bumps, the WRICA shocks, the WRIKA steering,
the Wreka exhaust system, they'll ruin your tires.

Speaker 7 (22:46):
That's that's the question I've got.

Speaker 2 (22:49):
That's the answer. Help Leo. What what's what do you drive?

Speaker 7 (22:54):
I drive the lnswer Uh not very old? And what
ye mind? And my wife's study years?

Speaker 2 (23:07):
What what u is your Lancer?

Speaker 7 (23:10):
Uh? Two and sixteen?

Speaker 2 (23:14):
Oh they're quite new.

Speaker 7 (23:15):
Okay, yeah it's one of her first ones. Oh yeah,
what was the last one?

Speaker 2 (23:26):
Because quite I'm just looking at the fearing. It's quite
a low lying car too, isn't it?

Speaker 7 (23:32):
Oh not too bad?

Speaker 2 (23:34):
Okay, well that yeah.

Speaker 7 (23:38):
Everybody remarks we're good conditions and uh what a good
comfortable Oh.

Speaker 2 (23:46):
That's something to happen that you're proud. You'll be proud.
You'd be proud of that, Leo. We're driving that company.
Your poor wife just got the years because they are
not much good, are they?

Speaker 7 (23:56):
Oh? Yeah, it's pretty good?

Speaker 9 (23:58):
Is it?

Speaker 1 (23:58):
Tell me?

Speaker 2 (23:59):
That's tell me? How hard are you hitting these bumps?
You're going? You're going fifteen?

Speaker 11 (24:05):
No?

Speaker 7 (24:06):
No, you've got to be very cautious going up and
over them. For that reason, the bunch down up your
bet come through and go up. And I don't know
if the cars were built, Uh, they come across that condition.

Speaker 2 (24:28):
Okay, because you sound like Captain cautious. Doesn't sound like
you'd be threshed. What is the optimum speed for what
is the optimum speed for a speed bump?

Speaker 7 (24:38):
Well, there's no hurt to be uh hm, fifty would
be excessive.

Speaker 10 (24:45):
Uh and a.

Speaker 2 (24:49):
Twenty twenty five if you're in a hurry for speed bump.

Speaker 7 (24:52):
Yeah, and uh there's the other point. It's we're in
schools in that they're going to be careful. If you're driving,
you've got your mind on going over feed them. Are
you looking at tonight?

Speaker 2 (25:12):
Okay? Good on you, thank you, Hi, Peter, it's Marcus.
Good evening.

Speaker 8 (25:17):
They are going there, Marcus. Just regarding those people and
they so those counsels whoever they are driving around giving
out tickets. If THEA I think that on the government
actually acted on that. As far as I'm soon, they're
becoming into the antis, whether you want to call them.

Speaker 2 (25:36):
Hang on, Peter, Council, should the government checked on.

Speaker 8 (25:40):
What but if they can't physically go out there issue
the tickets paras Aingerson on a bed ticket, people could
be on holiday or whatever. You get around a month
or so later in the mail. You your memory can't
recall all that they can't physically issue those tickets the

(26:02):
old way. Far as I consume, they shouldn't be illegal.

Speaker 2 (26:07):
I'd rather get my ticket four weeks later. It wouldn't
buzz the night. It wouldn't be.

Speaker 9 (26:15):
I don't know what you don't know.

Speaker 8 (26:18):
It'splaitton revenue earning. If they haven't got the money to
pay somebody, are they going out there? They just call it.
It's like, well, call them bounty hunters. All they are.
They just trying to make people's life miser miserable.

Speaker 2 (26:32):
Hang on, hang on, Peter Corder jets. The whole point,
it's the retailers that want the parking fines and forced
because it because it turns through the customers. It's the
shopkeepers that want parking water. The retail people demand that.
I think it's it's a good it's a good news story.

Speaker 5 (26:50):
This.

Speaker 8 (26:52):
No, I don't like it. If it's up to the Yeah,
but you're not you're not poor.

Speaker 2 (26:56):
You're not, You're not poor Johnny at shopright, trying to
run a store and get people coming through.

Speaker 8 (27:02):
I had an example and all, sorry, Hamilton, I think
to be at this before I'll be surprised. There's a
concert in Hamilton there around just after after Christmas in January,
and I was up there and I got ticketed by

(27:23):
the burger king there. I don't know if you know
Hamilton and all. It's basically down by Kmark there. There's
a little alleyway there and normally and I travel, I
have my laptop there and I'll go somewhere and use
their WiFi, have breakfast here or whatever you do you
know which I was. I went near the previous night
there and I had a bit of a meal where

(27:44):
and I thought I'll go back there in the morning
and a bit of a breakfast there and catlong story
short was I think I did tell you this once before.
I was looking for a map and I didn't have
a map. Off, I'll go to the bus step up
just up up the alleyway a little bit there and
they might have a good map of Hamilton around what's

(28:05):
on the streets and that there. Yes, I parked my car.

Speaker 2 (28:07):
Boy reminded what you want the map for?

Speaker 8 (28:12):
Oh just just I from the old school mags.

Speaker 2 (28:15):
But like you, you know you, I'm on old skill.

Speaker 9 (28:17):
Don't call me.

Speaker 2 (28:18):
Don't call me on skill. Don't call me with your
parking your funny parking stories. Anyway, what's you want the
map for?

Speaker 8 (28:26):
So I was for a map and I've played a
little cell phone and gets stick a look and if
ill down and get a decent sized mat which they
used to hand them out. You know they've gone old days,
you know. And I thought I'll go on the busty
but they probably got a mat. Their bit of information
said it there.

Speaker 11 (28:39):
You know.

Speaker 8 (28:39):
I went up there and that's what I got me
mettew long story short came back to me. I saw
the stoody water, this Stefort Warden guy there and he
was looking through the window the birded cainge and I thought,
was he just going?

Speaker 9 (28:52):
I was walking down.

Speaker 8 (28:53):
I was walking down back to my car. I was
going to beg a bit for see.

Speaker 9 (28:56):
You see.

Speaker 8 (28:57):
I was walking down to my car and I was
probably fifty meters away and what's this? What's this guy
doing you? I wanted to just go in the in
the boogie Kings and sell that on the audio and
I left. They went and must they must open that up.
By time I mucked around the busty poseped a half
air gone your feet and then and then they opened up.
It wasn't open. I went to the look for the
map at the bus depot and the colosstro he was

(29:19):
there and it was all funny, and I thought, I
could it go to my window and said we go, hey,
give me a ticket. He is he fair enough. There's
a bloody ticket on me on me windscreen, you know,
And I thought so when I left, before I went
to the bustypo get my map, they wren open. Google
King wasn't opening. I was like this, I was going
to go there, but then I open. I'll go and
get picked myself. Don't get a map, which I got,

(29:40):
and then after then I ran. I went to chase
the guy next to me just disappeared like that, like
an eagle. He'd gone without an ego. He must have
been just shut shot down the side door or some
bloody thing there. And I was not on. So what
I did I was lucky.

Speaker 9 (29:54):
I was.

Speaker 8 (29:55):
I was on that hour before before they would have
given me a ticket. So I went in there and
got a got a meal and I said to the
expining to the lady that was serving at the time there,
and he said, oh, yeah, that they do that. And
I said, oh, it's not really fair. I said, or
fair as I'm as I'm buying a meal, So technically speaking,
I've actually I've actually brought something from you from the

(30:16):
hour and that was all right. And then I said,
I even go down the manager slightly higher and no
disrespect to you at all. She said, oh, there's my
area manager robing here, just sitting in the having of coffee.
When I spoke to her, and she said, oh, that
was what they're doing here. It's not really right. And
I said, well, why did you do something better? And
I said, he's they're giving you a bad name by

(30:38):
giving you a ticket. He said, you brought a meal
evenues I have said, rise off what she let me off?
And you wouldn't believe it.

Speaker 3 (30:47):
That was all right.

Speaker 8 (30:48):
Then when they when I went to chase that guy,
next minute there is I'm not being racial whatever, but.

Speaker 2 (30:55):
Just they just see, ang on, Peter, did you get
a ticket?

Speaker 8 (31:02):
I did. I got let off in the end, But
how long ago was this?

Speaker 9 (31:07):
Oh?

Speaker 8 (31:07):
Yeah, six months ago, Hamil, Peter, Peter, you got to
move on. Hamilton's stoning into Awkland.

Speaker 2 (31:15):
You got to move on, Peter.

Speaker 8 (31:17):
I realized that. But Hamilton.

Speaker 12 (31:22):
Hawkland?

Speaker 2 (31:22):
Did you get your map?

Speaker 6 (31:25):
I did?

Speaker 8 (31:25):
Yeah, I get actially what I wanted to do, But
I didn't want to get a forty forty four dollars.
But tickets map.

Speaker 2 (31:36):
You you got let off? Okay, that's the main I
think retailers like people parking, people being enforced because it
tunes them through quicker. I hate to say I have
heard that story before, but I did enjoy it. I'll
cut a long story short. It does go a lot longer.
I can't realize all the details. What are the rest

(31:57):
of the details. What have you missed, Peter from that story?

Speaker 11 (32:02):
Peter?

Speaker 2 (32:03):
What did you miss from the story? What is he
more to the story?

Speaker 13 (32:07):
Oh you're still there where you might to cut me up?

Speaker 8 (32:12):
So yeah, it's like what?

Speaker 5 (32:14):
What? What?

Speaker 12 (32:14):
Why?

Speaker 11 (32:15):
I was there?

Speaker 8 (32:15):
I thought, and then I thought, I don't leave, and
then I thought, I drive. I finally had the meal
and I was looking. I'm driving back up towards KM
up and I saw this thing. I said, where we
were in these more call and more porks. That's what
they have, the more porks. And then I'm gonna time
for them. And I was driving up down the alleyway
there and they can't.

Speaker 2 (32:34):
Are you called the parking more than's more porks.

Speaker 8 (32:37):
It's more porks. I go time for just a parasite.
Parasite isn't there? They want to get a real job,
and uh so then I saw those tinted windows.

Speaker 2 (32:47):
Probably what's your job? What's your job? Peter?

Speaker 9 (32:51):
Oh?

Speaker 8 (32:51):
They've been all sorts of health and safety, and I
don't know. All right, you're a book, but yeah, and
they just they just sitting there in that office and
they just pinging people, just the three guys.

Speaker 2 (33:03):
Someone sayes, you need a hobby. If you've got a.

Speaker 8 (33:05):

Speaker 8 (33:16):
I just yeah, follow rugby and I get the fishing
down again, and when I can sort of thing, okay.

Speaker 2 (33:24):
I got to run right behind of commercials. Pretty His
story was too good, Tony Marcus, good evening and welcome.

Speaker 7 (33:31):
Oh there you go.

Speaker 10 (33:35):
Yeah, yesterday I came out of the gym and there
was a ticket on my vehicle and I went worked
there and so I grabbed it and I had to
look at it. It was for eighty five dollars for
not parking in a marked pack and I thought, wow,

(33:57):
you know, like because in the car park there was
a roller cars and then at the end that there
was a space there where I parked there, and I thought, well,
I thought this was a park and.

Speaker 2 (34:17):
Where was the car where's the carpact? Where was the carpac?

Speaker 10 (34:19):
Toney at the gym?

Speaker 2 (34:23):
Which city?

Speaker 7 (34:26):
I hate things?

Speaker 2 (34:27):
Okay?

Speaker 10 (34:29):
And yeah, so I don't know. So I rung up
the eight. I went to the hating city council to
inquire about it, and I went up to the counter
and I said, I just want to know why have
I got this ticket? And they said, oh, this has

(34:53):
got nothing to do fact. This is a private organization.
And I thought a private organization, so like there's other
organizations out there that I give you tickets, it's not
just a city council.

Speaker 7 (35:10):
Didn't know?

Speaker 5 (35:11):
Yeah, have you have?

Speaker 2 (35:12):
You had to pay it?

Speaker 7 (35:14):
Yeah?

Speaker 10 (35:14):
Well they said that I had to ring the number
that's on the ticket. So I run them up and
I told them about it, and they said well, if
you want to do anything about it, you have to
go online and pull out the paperwork and all that.
And I was kind of like, but the thing was,

(35:35):
I was getting the bit singed offers with the person
I was talking to because I couldn't understand you properly.

Speaker 2 (35:43):
You know, Okay, I just live with there, Tony. But
thank you for that call. A lot of about private
private places, they can have private security guards doing it.
It's like wheel clamping that stopped these days. I think
we need fear go.

Speaker 5 (35:54):
Oh.

Speaker 2 (35:55):
Just by the way, someone told me that with private
with your private car parks for when the private company
that builds you, as far as Tony goes, they are
a lot easier to get off those tickets. I think
they're legallet is not quite the same. They're not quite
as protected. So if you do get one of my
advice is and look, we might discuss this the next
hour if people have got some advice about how not

(36:16):
to do that. But the advice is you might be
able to get off those. So it's worth a try.
And there normally be a sign I think they've got
to splash sign that's there that says they are policing
that area. But it's almost why we need fear Go
feargre all and I said it's online now, but Fearga

(36:37):
are always great at Okay, sorry parking ticket controversies. So
if that's something you want to mention, good be good
to hear from your good night anyway. So it's been
a bit of everything tonight and long way that continue
eight hundred and eighty eight, nine to nine to the
text market still twelve. Keep your texts, keep your calls,

(36:59):
keep your emails, any news good on you. In love
with this golf course, the Royal Troon. It looks beautiful
obviously links course right by and Clyde. I think there
that's how golf should look. Yeah, there you go. Any

(37:21):
other breaking newser I'll bring that to you. He Biden's
got COVID, but you'll know that. I'm just quite not
quite sure how it's affected him, if he's going to
go or this is going to be the excuse of
quite what's happened, But no news about that tonight. He's
going to be assolved fairly quickly with all the voting
ballot forms and stuff. So yeah, it's quite a close

(37:45):
cut thing that. Oh welcome people. My name is Marcus
Hddle twelve talking a bit about Wece tonight too, gambling
and smoking. But as far as those headed tobacco I
want to they call it head tobacco units or whatever
they are. I can't quite work out the point of them,
because if you were going to use a nicotine replacement product,
you'd use patches, or you'd use gum, or you'd use vapor.

(38:08):
Wouldn't You wouldn't go to something that heated it, like
a nebulizer for marijuana, would you. I can't work out
the point of that. So if anyone's tried hdp's this,
Castello is telling us it's going to be but I
mean the sciences it doesn't work. So that just seems
pretty far fetched to me. But you might want to
talk about that eight hundred and eighty. Anything goes for
the final hour. Someone said, COVID hit the Tour de

(38:31):
France cyclists, hope the Olympians don't get it. What a
very good point. I was watching the last year's Tour
de France series yesterday and it's a lot of them
still wear COVID masks out and about. But yeah, that's
that's right. France could be devastated by COVID close quarters
people from around the world. Wow jumping. If you want

(38:51):
to talk, my name is Marcus Hitdle twelve. Anything goes,
but mainly that's smoking cessation stuff. If you've got the
heated tobacco thing, that would be something I'd like to
talk about tonight. So I've got no idea about that
because I mean it sounds sketchy as heck that I
have ticks on it since we got to go for
market sheer. I think you do it with the marijuana

(39:15):
as well. You don't get you get there. I don't
know what you get. You'll know, Kerrie, Marcus.

Speaker 8 (39:22):
Welcome, Hey Marcus, I just wanted to see what you think.

Speaker 12 (39:27):
I have an apartment in uh Honey Street.

Speaker 11 (39:31):
You know.

Speaker 12 (39:31):
We come off Queen Street and needs.

Speaker 13 (39:32):
The Beach Road there yep.

Speaker 12 (39:35):
And then what's opposite me a landmark whos are there?
So we just live in the apartments there. I've got
my own car park, Marcus. But outside we got the
three three or four uh car park, which is like

(39:57):
you said, the man comes around with his thing on
top of his room and blah blah blah. So whereas
before we he it.

Speaker 9 (40:09):
Three wishes.

Speaker 12 (40:13):
Oh yeah, yeah, three three statory holiday and now it's
fully pay pay all these things. The thing that gets
me is that I'm paying my cancel rate, but I've

(40:33):
got no car park outside Marcus. Do you think I've
been unten or a bit selfish?

Speaker 2 (40:38):
No, I don't think you'd be unfair at all, because
so you did you say, are you custom straight ends
their care? Where did you say you were?

Speaker 12 (40:46):
Only?

Speaker 2 (40:47):
Honey, I've been looking at them and you don't have
an apartment. You don't have a car park with your apartment?

Speaker 12 (40:56):
Yes, I do, Yes, I do. I pay for them.
They've cost me fifty.

Speaker 2 (41:01):
Thousand, okay to buy it.

Speaker 12 (41:05):
And then you know, like now three of us stay
in the apartment and for goodness take we've got three
cars because we all work at three different jobs. Yes,
and parking has been a problem, and it wasn't so
bad until this new law came in on the seventh

(41:26):
of July.

Speaker 2 (41:29):
Having tickets of your head.

Speaker 12 (41:33):
Well, I've given up if I every time they catch
you and they just charging forty dollars.

Speaker 2 (41:42):
Because you can't continue to be moving and putting money
in either.

Speaker 9 (41:45):
Can you.

Speaker 12 (41:47):
No, it's just one of those take the car and
blah blah, blah, and then you know you you can
stay over the opposite opposite countdown for ninety minutes, but
if you're towed away, Marcus, he's a four hundred times
for coage.

Speaker 2 (42:07):
Okay, yeah, that's interesting to hear the reality that that
sounds like a huge lessle.

Speaker 12 (42:12):
Oh man, I tell you the mea sorry I forgot
his name.

Speaker 2 (42:19):
Was Wayne Wayne Wayne Brown.

Speaker 13 (42:22):
Yeah, yeah, he was up.

Speaker 12 (42:23):
And arms but than me, and he gave him and
said the committee could do what they wanted to do,
and that was we are lucky. We're They got all
colored zones in each area, which, of course Queen Street
is the highest zone.

Speaker 2 (42:40):
Yeah.

Speaker 12 (42:41):
Ours is what we call an orange zone. I think
on Sunday we don't get charged after sixty in.

Speaker 2 (42:48):
I mean, the thing about you, Kiri, is you sound
extremely reasonable. It would be one of the most You'd
be one of the most reasonable person I've ever heard.
I found the street. It's tunny. Who are is that right?

Speaker 12 (43:00):
Yes?

Speaker 2 (43:02):
Yeah, okay, someone else want have some information, Carrie, but
thank you for that. But I think you put a
freck concisely. Lisa Marcus.

Speaker 9 (43:08):
Hello, good evening, Ye Hi Marcus.

Speaker 14 (43:12):
I get very upset when I go down to my
local supermarket, New World, and I spend more than ninety
minutes here, and each time that happens, I get a fine.
Now I walk in there, that's I'm older lady, that's
part of my recreation. I will meet people in there,

(43:36):
I have a chat with them, wander around. And also
it takes me a lot longer to get the trolley
back to the trolley park, which I always do. And
I've been paying twice, and I think it's really unreasonable
when I'm there to do my supermarket shopping.

Speaker 2 (43:58):
Are you talking about smoking or ding up about this?

Speaker 14 (44:02):
No, I said, I said, I wanted to talk about
car parking and giving up smoking.

Speaker 2 (44:11):
Okay, so you pay for ninety minutes, and then what happens.

Speaker 14 (44:15):
No, you don't pay for ninety minutes. You have ninety
minutes in the car.

Speaker 8 (44:20):
Yes, yes, yes, they.

Speaker 14 (44:23):
Can so graceful.

Speaker 9 (44:25):
As you go in the car, yep, the car yep.

Speaker 14 (44:30):
And as you spend more than ninety minutes in there,
then you get all. I think it was about eighty
five dollars.

Speaker 3 (44:39):
Fine.

Speaker 14 (44:40):
Wow, I think it's unreasonable.

Speaker 2 (44:44):
Oh it's not long enough. It's not long enough time,
is it?

Speaker 12 (44:48):
Well?

Speaker 9 (44:48):
Not to older people like me.

Speaker 2 (44:51):
No people, and some people are quite selected, like to
look at the bottom shelves and read the labels. Where's
the supermarket? Where's the supermarket.

Speaker 14 (45:00):
On the hibiscous coast? Oh?

Speaker 4 (45:04):
Really?

Speaker 7 (45:05):
Actually?

Speaker 2 (45:08):
Oh yeah, okay, Well how far away is the other?
Is the other park nearby?

Speaker 14 (45:15):
Say this again?

Speaker 2 (45:16):
Is there other parking nearby?

Speaker 11 (45:18):
No?

Speaker 14 (45:18):
Not, no, reather none, it's all too our part and
you can't get in there anyway.

Speaker 2 (45:28):
Becoming more difficult with cars than everyone in car parking,
don't they watched a muzzle?

Speaker 14 (45:33):
Yeah, it's a shambles. And I read and never go
down there on a Tuesday morning.

Speaker 4 (45:40):
Oh my god, all the old people come out the
pension day.

Speaker 2 (45:44):
Yes, jeepers. We love the elderly. Thank you, Lisa. Jonathan,
it's Marcus.

Speaker 11 (45:49):
Good evening, Oh, good evening, Marcus. A few years ago
there was a delightful program on television called Jonathan Creek,
and he had a girlfriend in it, played by Carolyn Quentin.
Carol and Quenton went to visit him one day and

(46:10):
they walked out of his door and he said, oh, dear,
your car has been clamped. And she said, oh, yes,
I know, and she puts her hand in her pocket,
pulls out a key and undoes the clamp on a car.
It was her own clamp, and she put it into
the moot and drove away.

Speaker 2 (46:34):
It's good on it.

Speaker 11 (46:36):
I was just wondering where can run by a yellow clamp?

Speaker 2 (46:41):
I reckon, you'd start with Timu. They've got most things.
Get back to me, Jonathan, thank you. Twenty past eleven.
Oh there's a good Joe. What about you when you're smoking?
We're finally got some energy in the show. Oh like
a hard done by Parker Marcus, Gay Marcus and Made
of Mind picked me up from Project you put a

(47:02):
few years ago. On the way out, he asked why
there were so many damned Judibah out of the blue.
I said that at airports, if you drive fast enough
towards junabar As, they said that you're an emergency and
they retracked into the road. Great thing to say. Next thing,
he stops on the gas and he headed at quite
as speed to the next set. There was a god
awful crunch as we crossed them. Crikey, I thought to myself.

(47:24):
I looked back through the rear window, expect to see
debris on the road. What the heck? Said my mate,
What the I said, Mate, you need to destroyed your car.
He said that my comment was plausible. I said, of reconvincing.
Blair had to replace that car as that developed a
call it lect shortly afterwards that was cost prohibitive to repair.

(47:45):
Hopefully not by doing. Cheers Alistair. That's a very good
thing to say. It retracts into the like those poles
along the avon for the trams. I'll tell you something
I haven't told anyone before, and obviously that we have
just spent a time and christ Church, and I know

(48:10):
that for most of you this is you hate them
with a vengeance, But I think christ Church is one
city where those limes scooters work very well. So heads
off to the council. They're forgetting and it just seems
to be the perfect city for them. You travel quite
a long way them a short length of time. Hallo, Joe,

(48:32):
it's Marcus. Good evening day.

Speaker 12 (48:35):
Mate.

Speaker 13 (48:35):
Hey, you're talking about that fluid for the It's all
it is is fates. The fates work on the they
heat the fluid and you use that and that's what
you're talking about.

Speaker 2 (48:56):
I don't know that that's the case.

Speaker 13 (48:59):
Yeah, I use one mate, I know what you're talking about?

Speaker 5 (49:03):
What use?

Speaker 13 (49:05):
I use a liquid that I put into the pod,
and the pod goes in the faith and it works
on a battery and you when you suck on it,
the battery heats the liquid, which turns it into a faith.

Speaker 2 (49:25):
That just sounds like a vipe, doesn't it.

Speaker 13 (49:28):
That's all they are. That's that's what you're talking about.
It's a vape. That's the liquid. The liquid that she's
talking about is what they use for fats. Do you
understand what I mean?

Speaker 2 (49:48):
Because I thought heated heated tobacco products hate the tobacco leaf.
It's more on the leaf form.

Speaker 13 (49:56):
No, no, no, it's the liquid form.

Speaker 2 (49:59):
Are you sure about that?

Speaker 13 (50:02):
I'm one hundred percent sure about it. I used to
be a smoker, and I giving up some by using
the tobacco vake.

Speaker 2 (50:09):
But that's a vape you used, not a heated tobacco product.

Speaker 13 (50:13):
No, it's a heated tobacco product. That's what a vapor is.
All vaps are. Every single vape that you see is
a heated tobacco product. My one is just that I
use straight tobacco juice and I get twenty eight point
eight or something milligrams of tobacco every time I take

(50:38):
a vape.

Speaker 5 (50:41):
Yeah, I.

Speaker 13 (50:44):
Do you understand what I mean?

Speaker 2 (50:46):
I'd like to, but it seems a different thing otherwise,
Otherwise they said. Otherwise, they said.

Speaker 5 (50:54):
Sorry.

Speaker 2 (50:55):
It says in a heated tobacco product, nicotine is naturally
present in the tobacco using the product. By contrast, and
e cigarettes, nicotine derived from thebo was added to the
vape juice.

Speaker 13 (51:09):
That's right, exactly right, that's what we use. That's what
she's just given the rebake for.

Speaker 2 (51:18):
I don't think that's right.

Speaker 13 (51:21):
I'm pretty sure you'll find it is.

Speaker 4 (51:27):
The thing is.

Speaker 13 (51:30):
The difference is that the tobacco one that I use
is tobacco. It's a substitute for cigarettes. But you get
the one that the kids and all that use are
just the flavored juice. And the one that you're talking

(51:53):
about is tobacco that comes in a liquid form that
you put in a pod, that you put in the
fake and it heats it whenever you draw on it.

Speaker 2 (52:06):
Yeah, it does say in the article. It says tobacco
giant Philip Morris owns a leading brand in the HTP market,
where sticks of tobacco are inserted into a device and heated.

Speaker 13 (52:24):
That's exactly the standard.

Speaker 2 (52:26):
But Joe, Joe says sticks of tobacco not vape juice.

Speaker 13 (52:35):
Well, you'll find that those are the sticks of tobacco
are actually a juice because they come in all different shapes.

Speaker 2 (52:43):
But otherwise they wouldn't call a stick of tobacco it's
a juice. They'd say a pouch of liquid.

Speaker 13 (52:51):
I've been doing it for over forty years of smoking
and trying to give up, and all sorts of other things,
and the only one that I found it is the
tobacco substitutes for tobacco is tobacco in a vape?

Speaker 2 (53:14):
Okay, j I We'll find out more, but thank you.
Good evening, Grig. It's Marcus. Welcome.

Speaker 9 (53:19):
Hey Marcus, how are you going good?

Speaker 2 (53:21):
Greg?

Speaker 9 (53:22):
Hey, I was just heading home from work and I
heard your last caller, Joe, I think.

Speaker 2 (53:26):
It was Yeah eedamant, Yeah, trying.

Speaker 9 (53:28):
To tell you that heated tobacco products are the same
as vape. Well, you know what, Joe's one hundred percent wrong,
and you are one hundred percent right. It's a very
similar device that it uses a battery to create heat.
But the heated tobacco products you can put like pipe
tobacco into it, or you can even put like a
tailor made cigarette into it. And the reason it's more

(53:48):
healthy is because the temperature is controlled. You don't get
the same sort of VOCs coming off. Say what when
you're dragging on a cigarette that's glowing red? You know,
so because of the temperatures controlled, you don't get the
same sort of VOCs off it. It's much healthier. Thirty
percent less nicotine, they said. But that makes me wonder.

(54:10):
If you're getting thirty percent less, probably you're probably gonna
smoke more, aren't you.

Speaker 2 (54:14):
I can't work out, are you someone that? How I
know it works with marijuana as well?

Speaker 1 (54:19):
Is that right?

Speaker 2 (54:20):
It's called a nebulize, Is that right? Is it the
right work?

Speaker 14 (54:22):
Yeah?

Speaker 9 (54:22):
Exactly, exactly the same thing, yep, exactly. And with the nebulizer,
I've actually used a nebulizer because I've traveled to Holland
quite a lot. With an nebulizer, you can put your
weed in and heats it up and and it vaporizes
the THHC, so you can breathe it in and the
weed looks like it hasn't even been burnt. It's the

(54:42):
same thing with the heated tobacco products.

Speaker 2 (54:46):
So I can't see any I can't see that as
a smoke smoking cessation device. GOUD doesn't sound that portable
and sound you'd like, you've got to recharge it in
all sorts of things.

Speaker 9 (54:57):
It's the same as a vape. You've got to charge
them up.

Speaker 2 (55:00):
Yeah, I guess you good point.

Speaker 9 (55:03):
Yeah, but I don't see how it's going to help
because if it's thirty percent, this nicotine coming out, but
people are just going to smoke more, right to get
the same to get the same level of nicotine. But anyway,
I mean, you know, I just wanted to point out
that he's wrong, whether he's been smoking for whatever.

Speaker 2 (55:19):
I think the poor guy was probably excited there's vape
suddenly got cheaper, and then found out now he's now
he's wrong. Greg. I appreciate that. Good call. Thank you,
Michael Marcus welcome.

Speaker 15 (55:29):
I think I was just going to alliterate that the
same thing as the vaporize that they heat up to
about two hundred and thirty degrees and turn it into
a into a vape from the raw material.

Speaker 10 (55:42):
How's it?

Speaker 2 (55:42):
How's it? How's it taste compared to smoking?

Speaker 5 (55:46):
Smoother a little bit?

Speaker 15 (55:49):
Yeah, but it's just you you blow off a clear smoke.
It's just like a appreciate it. Yeah, so it's all
I can elaborate on.

Speaker 2 (56:00):
It feels cleaner to take it. And you don't get
that gra yeah.

Speaker 5 (56:03):
Okay, yeah you don't. You don't.

Speaker 15 (56:05):
It's just like breathing for ash air. It's just a
little bit, it's all yeah.

Speaker 2 (56:10):
And you get the nicotine. You get the nicotine satisfaction
straight away.

Speaker 15 (56:16):
Yeah, you'd get a bit of a well, yes, yep,
it'd start leading on.

Speaker 2 (56:20):
Yes, okay, thank you, Michael. So, breaking news through out
of the UK about COVID. They've had their COVID inquiry.
What I reckon? That said? People? Breaking news COVID inquiry
the UK government failed to protect the public due to
significant flaws and pandemic preparedness. The scathing report concludes the

(56:44):
human and financial cost of the COVID pandemic was much
worse than it should have been because the UK was
not prepared. A scathing report has concluded barrenness here the
Hallet who cheered the inquiry to the first report of
the pandemic, highlighting the grave lack of preparedness and resilience
that meant the virus tore through communities and overwhelmed the NHS.

(57:07):
She said the UK had prepared for the wrong type
of pandemic, an influenza style virus instead of pandemics caused
by other respiratory diseases like COVID, which require an altogether
different approach. She said an a list of recommendations for
the new Labor government, warned it's not a question of
if another pandemic will strike, but when she urged for

(57:30):
the issue to be treated seriously, in which in much
the same way as we treat a threat from a
hostile nation, said the UK has significant flaws going into
the pandemic and into twenty twenty which was old school's
office and shops closed, vast constraints on freedom and untold
damage to mental health, and there were more than two

(57:54):
hundred and thirty five thousand deaths in the UK up
to the end of twenty twenty three. Had the team
been paid for and more resident to the pandemic, some
of the financial human costs may have been avoided, she said.
Free existing levels of heart disease, diabetes, respiratory illness and

(58:16):
obesity meant the UK was vulnerable. YEP two hundred and
forty page report said the citizens of all four nations
were failed. So yeah, they didn't do well with that

(58:43):
at all. Says the strategy focused on one type of pandemic,
and she said fail adequately to consider prevention or proportionality
of response, and paid insufficient attention to the economic and
social consequences of the pandemic. Response consequence, she said it

(59:05):
was virtually abandoned on its first encounter with the pandemic. Yeah,
lack of capability and capacity to sturge resources, so there
you go. Test and trace system should have been invested in,
she says, which was used to try and identify how

(59:27):
the virus was spreading. Oh, eight hundred and eighty twenty
three away from twelve Marcus. Look up Crafty Plus vaporizer
by stores and Bickle. They are a premium dry herb
vaporizer manufacturer Marcus, the man going on about the liquid

(59:53):
vapes utilizing pot simply hasn't heard or seen a dry
herb vaporizer. They enable you to put herbs such as tobacco, marijuana,
et cetera. They aren't cheap, and they are as your
last caller stayed a lot healthier. Four you you nebulize
was the wrong tu. It's a vaporizer. They are medical
grade devices specifically for use with marijuana, et cetera. Always listening,

(01:00:14):
always enjoying, justin thank you. But I think Philip Morris
have got a cheap one to get the kid talked
on it, or something to trying to cheapen the praw
chairs cheap in the price for them seems extraordinary without consultation.

(01:00:37):
By the way, someone has gone on timu and found
a heavy duty anti theft wheel clamp for twenty four
ninety nine. In fact, I lie, it's twenty six eighty five.

(01:00:57):
Goodness me, We'll just see that in one shop, and
that shop will be Timou. They sall everything and your nebulizers.
