Episode 29 of Reclining Pair - out now.

Nina visits Phipps NBC Brewery, Northampton, who are brewing us a special collab Hopfenweisse, I quiz her on her great passion - the clarinet, and we talk about crystals, Midsomer Murders, Joe Pasquale and Supertramp.

The photo shows an American breakfast plate, but the knife and fork either side are clarinets, hinting at this month's quiz, and there's a quote from the Supertramp song, Breakfast in America. Reclining Pair, episode 29, out now.

My friend Sascha is a professional musician and he's lost a viola bow on the way to Heathrow. Please signal boost to help him get it back.

Lost viola bow on the way from Honor Oak Station to Heathrow Terminal 2. The bow slid from its bow case somewhere along the way, possibly on the train. TFL contacted already.
It weighs 68.2 grams and has got a stamped DODD next to the frog. If any info on this, please pm me.

Yeah, I can see that working, with the OG, you have the heavy spirit flavour bringing the warmth, and the idea of hot bourbon doesn't appeal at all, but with there being a lot more going on with this, it could work 🤔

This was one of the best things ever on Twitter, I'm so glad Mike is reprising it here.

A few years ago during Covid, when like a lot of the country, I was going batshit, I started a mini Grand Designs, on Twitter, using tiny 18mm figures.

And if people enjoyed it there, maybe they'll enjoy it here.

Meet Tom & Sue.

This seems to be getting a bit of attention again.

If you like this flavour of nonsense, you'll enjoy the local news section of our podcast 🙏

Well, there were three other snack backs... so half 😀

Never had a treacle scone either.

I love treacle and feel it's criminally underrepresented.

Treacle tart, for example. Made with syrup... 😯

I'd make mine with treacle, dammit, and to hell with the bureaucrats at Whitehall.

Centrefold of Ken Pond with pipe and sock garters. The ruin of many a teenage girl.

Mike Batho @recliningpair.bsky.social · 2d

Never made soda bread. Treacle sounds good though 🤔
