It's Five O'Clock Somewhere

Show Notes

This week it is all about the ROMANCE, because you may not have been aware, but August is National Romance Awareness Month, which is definitely a real thing and not something Gill found when she was randomly googling things looking for inspiration for a topic! So we thought, why not get a little romantic (not like that!) and have a chat about the most and least romantic things that have occurred in our lives. Jo's second hand crispy swimming costume is obviously hard to top, but Gill has tales of pigeons and we have brilliant anecdotes from you, our wonderful listeners too, including bowls of vomit and axes (not in the same story)!

May 19, 2026

This week, we are talking about solo travel. Jo is exceptionally brave, Gill investigates Teletext Holidays, we reminisce about the heady days of life with Tour Manager Ben, Jo touches a Parisian crotch and Gill relives a traumatic day in Barnard Castle...

May 12, 2026

This week, we attempt to talk productivity and why women are always expected to be busy, and occupied. Except, we decide to talk about literally anything else instead, including the time Gill nearly joined the Scientologists by mistake, thereby thwarting the patriarchy and their outdated notions for us...

May 5, 2026

This week we dip our distinctly unfashionable toes into the murky world of fashion, to discuss the latest trend of 'Literary Chic.' Jo's trousers provide a wardrobe malfunction, and she invents a new word, which leads to Gill having her best day after rummaging in some long forgotten places! What is Jo's word? What does Gill's rummaging reveal? You'll have to listen and find out!

Apr 28, 2026

This week we're talking about Life Admin- what it involves, why it's boring, why we hate it, and why we love the nice man at Halfords who fixes your headlight bulbs. Jo is grown up and serious and talks about wills, Gill lowers the tone as usual.

Apr 21, 2026

This week, we veer dangerously close to becoming serious, as we discuss the Femosphere, and whether it can really be classed as feminism, if it is a new thing, and if it is ever acceptable to use a mini sausage from a tin of sausage and beans as a cocktail garnish...?
