Whilst waiting for the saviours impending return on monday, i have been been listening to my back catalogue of podcasts which dates back to 17 March 2006 'Kirsty Gallagher' and was suprised at how much of the shows back then i can remember!! It seems like they happened a few weeks ago rather than a few years! it just goes to show that the quality and content of the shows is unforgetable!!!

[lima eel]

I realise that there wasn't a great deal of depth to the original post, but I've listening to the podcast from and 27 Oct 2006 and Dom saying to Carrie 'there's no wonder you can't get a man, when you act like that!' and nows she's married!

If this is too surreal and random then i apologise as i'm suffering from overdosing of beechams cough syrup!

From single to married in less than two years. Really, what's the hurry?!

i know! i've been with my girlfriend 7 years and getting married in a months time!!!

I can see that this topic is dying a slow and painful death, however i have been listening to lots of old podcasts and am finding it very interesting how the show has evolved and changed over a couple of years:

>Carrie talking about Major Disater for the first time
>Longman making regular appearences on the show and being a big part of the team (getting messages from Barry Scott, having his 'whats your favourite sandwich?' question asked in interviews).
>Dom going out and doing interviews with A list hollywood superstars!(I think the Cameron 'Joce Stainer' Diaz interview was the begining of the end of those!)
>Comedy Dave's 10 year aniversary as well as him pre Jayne and Nicole.
>The early relationships with Gordon Ramsey & Davina McCall

Perhaps this isn't the most interesting of topics, but hearing how the team has developed over the last couple of years is quite nice!

lima eel, I know what you mean. It's quite funny listening to much older clips and remembering how the show used to sound. As time goes by normally you don't notice the change much. Its only when you look back you see the difference.

But without all of us going off and listening to the older podcasts its rather difficult to discuss it due to the lack of a common frame of reference!

Oh, and I've been with my girlfriend for three years. Her brother gets married next year, proposed last year and when he did that they had been going out for 6 years. By my calculations, that precedent means I've got at least 3 more years before I worry about it, and 5 more before I actually do it!

i totally understand what you mean................ i guess i got a bit carried away!!!

maybe...................... but you never know she may ask you sooner!!!!

The next February 29th is four years away and we'll have been going out for seven years by then. I'm safe!

And if not, I could always say no...

Different people are ready at different times (although some people think they're ready when they're not). Just because a couple get married after seeing each other for five years, doesn't mean everyone else has to follow suit.

My mum and Roy have decided to get married and they have only been together for 2 years.

[lima eel]

if it feels right............it is right.............the problem is that divorce is an all too easy option and people do not try hard enough at marriges! nowadys people get married for the sake of it, divorce isn't frowned apon anymore, just like being a gymslip mother, its completly accepted!!

[Munki Bhoy]

To be honest, I don't see what all the fuss is about now. I live with my girlfriend in a house we both own. We have no interest in starting a family any time soon. So what difference would getting married make? I'll probably do it when I can afford to, purely for making a day of it and to prevent any future children having to pick a surname.

Hmm. Divorce if never an "easy" option and sometimes it doesn't matter how hard you work at a marriage, people grow apart.

[MK Chris]

Divorce is sometimes easier than working at it. However, sometimes it is the right option.

I understand that..................... but when you have a mother that has been divorced twice, married 3 times and being in her mid 40's and father divorced twice, at a similar age, you can become very synical about marriage!!

[Yudster]

See that doesn't make me cynical about marriage, just about people.

true as well

This thread had me digging through all the stuff I've downloaded from the show over the years. Lots of Will's Music, Chris playing Clocks which became folk sending in their own versions, some great parodies... the afternoon at work went a lot quicker once I did that!

I was a genius, I now spend most of my time in Florida here: http://www.barry.edu/aboutbarry/default.htm

Thats very true. I am recently divorced and it wasn't an easy (or cheap) option at all!! Me and my ex started growing appart almost as soon as we got back from the honeymoon!!

Getting back on topic, I can only just remember what I did this morning let alone six months ago!!

[S4B]

Don't worry about it going off topic, that happens a lot around here. In fact it's kind of compulsory.
