What a great end to these podcasts. Hopefully there will be more in the future. I love how you have put them all togrther at the end. Thankyou David xx.

Ah, what a pity it’s over I certainly hope there will be a second wave of whatever-they’re-called! This show was very good entertainment with a good bit of wit, spicing up the otherwise intellectually rather unsatisfying every day internet.

The last one - very sad. They will be missed - please take note Channel Flip and sponsors! Hope there is another series. Just the tonic you need after an annoying morning having my time wasted by the Nationwide - who clearly are not bothered about eliminating that particular waste - to come home and find this waiting. Thank you, David. Hope, rather selfishly I admit, that life is sufficiently irritating for you to do more.

These excellent podcasts are the best comedic ones I’ve come across and God knows I need all the witty hilarity I can get. More please!

Nice one, though I do believe man flu is an unalienable right and should be defended.

On the waste front, totally agree there’s a lot of it about, except as a former management consultant (grrr, boo, hiss!) you can do something about it.

It’s a simple thing in essence, you ask the people who actually do the job - you know, the proper, front line job not the sit in the office following you on Twitter variety - what hacks them off and 90% of your time you have the answer.

The problem then comes in persuading umpteen layers of bureaucratic middle management, HR, Health & Safety, Finance, IT and then the bosses, and then their bosses’ bosses that it might not be a good idea to have 2 offices trying to do exactly the same thing or my favourite, actually competing with each other to each others detriment.

Vary rarely does anything get sanctioned as some t*sser will always object, usually for an internal bureaucratic political reason. And that’s in the supposedly efficient private sector - god knows what it’s like in govt.

Enjoy the break

You’ll be missed, please get angry soon. I’ll be looking for you in the Observer, should it survive.

I am very sad indeed that we have seen the last of the whatever-they-ares. May there be more in the future!

Tom - we are due to replace the players and code because its a bit buggered at the moment. We’ll have it sorted soon.

This timing, for me, is awful. These whatever-they-ares (webcasts, presumably?) have been one of the relaxing pleasures of my week, and now they cease just in time for my schedule to become unusually stressful and complicated. Bothersome.

Which is not to say that I’m not grateful. Thanks so much.
