Ep. 108: Jurrasic Norks

It's the novelization of the movie based on the book taken from the screenplay provisionally titled The Fine Ale Countdown! It should be impossible for one episode to contain this many yucks, ha-has and goofs but this week life, uh... finds a way.

All the action is brought to you by the Taphouse bar in Ranelagh, where everybody knows your name, provided you tell them what it is first.

We drink beer from Yellowbelly & Whiplash. James also brought along a little surprise that we think you'll find quite... fetching.
