Rowland Rivron- "Knowledge Of My Arse"

Our Guest President this week, leading the members Tony Slattery’s Rambling Club, is none other than comedy legend, Rowland Rivron!

Come and join in as guest President Rivron leads us on a ramble through three special destinations chosen entirely at random with the use of Tony’s enchanted bingo machine. As ever, the omniscient voice of Sir Stephen Fry is on hand to keep a hand on the tiller of the good ship toss!

First stop is destination number 175: The Ethics of Recreation and Leisure. The ethics of what we do to amuse ourselves are something we rarely think about. Guest President Rivron and Paul both share a love of caravanning. Surely there can’t be anything unethical about that…can there?!

Next we're heading toward 314: General Statistics of Europe. The team don’t know any general statistics of Europe. But they do know that famed nurse Florence Nightingale was a terrible nurse! This and more startling revelations await you…

Our final destination is 642- Meals and Table Service. Even by rambling club standards it is quite remarkable just how quickly this one takes a wander down a dark alley. A 16th century alley, to be exact, in which a flow of urine is something one welcomes in the night. But what is the terrifying truth about Rivron’s Piss Lamb!  

After all that it’s time to head back down the garden path to Tony’s shed, to remember Rowland’s good friend, our lovely Tony.

Tony Slattery’s Rambling Club is a free-associating conversation, involving very special guests. It drops every Friday on every podcasting outlet known to man. We’d love it if you came along for the walk. If

nothing else, it’ll help you get your steps in!
