Fuck sake, man. You ready? That's my best work, I just did. You should fucking press record.

Listen, when the magic starts, it's your job. Is it? Is it my job to, is it my job? So does the magic start to come out my maps?

All right, start it, come on. Because the magic is, you think the magic's there? Have you started? Have I?

Why do I have to go through this shit with you? It's elaborate, you love his full play, don't you? Me rubbing the meters, trying to get a pearl. I forget, trying to get a pearl.

Have you started? Yes. All right, I have started. In that case, very on message for what I just said about rubbing the meters to get a pool appeal.

A pool? Oh, here we go again. I'm obsessed, mate. You dirty pervert.

Have we said we, a weepy peepy. Have we referred to someone's thing as a weepy peepy? A weepy peepy? No, we haven't.

Good. That's my contribution. I'm Dan. See you later.

Bye. Bye. Wipey matey. You didn't even say it right then.

You're such a fucking wank. Weepy mateys, where though? You know that refers to you. What?

A meter? Yeah, you'll need to just down in the mouth, mate. It's just one sad little fucking grimace. This is what our time doer count is going to be.

This is not the best cold open. I hate the cold open. I like it. I like give this to you.

I'm sorry, but I would prefer more just to go into it. Just to go into it. No, yes, go. Hello.

What we used to do? He said, hello, I mean, I still have my piece of someone. You know, an actual thing, not just some, you know, little cretters, little dirty pant troll man. I did have something.

I fucking rub in your weeping meters. I did have some, folks. Weepy meepy. I had some pre-show information.

Oh, let's do that then. OK. No, I'm back from Madam Flat, my gosh. That didn't want to talk about it.

The date. No, I told you, I didn't want to talk about it. The date went really well. I didn't want to talk about it.

I didn't know he had to hear that. He was a lot too fingers in. He must have very big fingers. Yeah, very big.

I didn't notice about that about him. Maybe he was hiding them in that bag of your pockets. Yeah, that's not going to collapse to me, bad thing. Don't add to my characters.

Don't you dare add to my characters. Well, it was, as we mentioned before, this recording call, the breakout star of last week. Most not a character of all your characters ever. And that is really saying something.

Most of your characters are literally something that I say. That's funny. Like, Porky Pruff. Oh, hang on a second.

Who actually did say Porky Pruff? I said fucking Porky Pruff. I said Porky Pruff. It's on the ingredients.

It said Porky Pruff on the fucking, on the noodle pot. And then he fucking, and now he's had two fingers in the woman I love. Mate, your characters are just normal boring people with a leaky appendage. That's all your characters are.

They leak, seep, or ejaculate with something. Or squish things. Jimmy Boy Sprinkles. Sprinkles.

Pre-pul. Jimmy Sprinkles, he used to be pre-Conchon. Stroke. Licky Ken.

Drop Daddy. Drop Daddy. He doesn't produce himself. He doesn't produce the sprinkles himself.

Who is drip? Drop Daddy. He's all just saying. You know what, enough.

This is the cold. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, podcast about cheap things. Oh, God. I'll say that in the next bit, then I'll tell you what we got to ask.

I hate you. And a fucking noodle potty. I had this cheap show you're going to have to learn the fucking except. Chee Show.

Chee Show. It's the price of shy, Paul Ganon. He likes to have a woman. It's a cheap show.

And a girl and a nuzzle. We're in the house of sausage and mash. It's time for more cheap adventures on the cheap show with me, Paul Ganon. Okay, and me and a nice gentleman.

And every week we go through the Poundland, the bargain bins, the... You really are, you're at it. Absolute loss, aren't you? That's what you've got Poundland.

That's what he's been truncated to. After all these years of magic. Magic. Poundland's Friff Shops, Goodwill Stores, Jumble Sales, Flea Markets, Bizzards.

I like this. You can actually turn me on with this now. It's an old school list. Yeah, secondhand shops.

Yeah. Friff stores. Vintage Fashion Knockoff, ripoff shops. Well, we try not to buy stuff on those too much.

And they're very high quality items, such as pin badges. Pin badges are our favourite thing. But pin badges are made in Lost All Wilters. Just then.

Just then it all fell out. I know. It's when I said pin badges for the second time. Weirdly, it's toppled out of me.

Paul, what have we got coming up on the show today? On the show, we have a very special price of shine, which has been delivered to our P.O. box. And hey, if you listen to the show right now and you want to see some of the things we investigated, go to our website, the cheap show at co.uk, where you can find a page for every episode and every episode page.

And images and sometimes videos on. A lot of nice fouties on their website. You can join in there. Go and look at the fouties off the show on the website.

So we're going to do a lovely bespoke price of shine. To bespoke price of shine. To bespoke price of shine. The one of our listeners has sent in.

Yes, and it's an interesting one. And I'll reveal why it's interesting in the next segment of the show. I've got my doubts about how interesting it will be. And also the whole concept doesn't seem to work for me.

And I think we've done it before. Have we done it before? What? I mean, we've got an update.

What's in the minute? Oh, we're talking about C's was again. Some can't who knows all about C's was is attacked our show. Not some very nice guy who runs a Twitter account.

That talks about Twizz was Twizz was. Twizz was a triplet bar, right? And he was very very people. Sorry, I'm sorry, I called him a can't tweet it.

I love to eat it. I've tweeted our tweet and told people to listen to it because it was a very interesting one. Thank you very much, Derek. But no, by all means, for this relative kind stranger.

I couldn't. No, I didn't mean that. Just because you don't even have the energy. All I'm saying is, yeah, to love and care.

What's it like to live without love, be like, oh, don't? What is it like to be a hollow? How dare you? How dare you stick the knife alone?

Of the Porky Broth. I'm trying to do the show today, Paul. All I've got of images of fucking Porky Broth hugely distended, t-messed fingers, slopping it out of that flappy hole. It was dragging it on the floor the other day.

Mate, I heard them go at it next door. It sounds like the... Come on, tell me a mouth. Don't tell me a mouth.

I was going to say it sounded like the afternoon show at SeaWorld. Brilliant. Now I'm on board, Paul. All the sea lions and fucking...

I was a fish, bonkers and shit. An icy bucket of haddock hitting a wall. It was, you know what, that didn't live up to it. You shouldn't have tried.

No. Don't do what I ask you, just because I ask you, mate. Don't, usually. No, you shouldn't have been.

Gone. No, no, no, no, we talked to the Tizzwars person now. Yes, oh, sorry, I did not mean to call you to see where nice Mr Tizzwars guy who enjoys our show. So, Tizzwars online, you can follow him on Twitter, at Tizzwars online, very kindly shared our tweet.

And they said, very funny, very crude. But we took the right decision of voting for Tizzwars. I said, thank you. We got a few things wrong because, as we say, in the episode, this wasn't going to be an exhaustive history of the genre.

It's nice to be factually accurate, though. We weren't wrong. We just didn't have all the details, right? Because I said it was interesting because we didn't know too much about what was going on in other regions.

And the account says, although Tizzwars being the first Saturday morning show, it was a lovely myth that they'd love to be true, it was beaten by Grampians, Royan friends, HTVs, Orbitz and LWTs Saturday scene. And that all happened in 1973. Very interesting. A full year before Tizzwars even existed.

Even as the links then. Every region had their own Saturday morning show of some description using that rough format. If I may, I'd like to draw a metaphor from this or make a comparison to the beginning of life on the planet, animal life on the planet, from the Cambrian explosion, as they call it. Now, there was a lot more basic life forms around then.

Basic templates, a few of which, then turned into the templates like the mammals or whatever, the families that we have today. But there were loads more, like 13 other ones, that died out to hold different body plans from out of the primordial soup we brought. Basically, Cambrian, these are small secretions. Cambrian explosion, they call it, even though it's like a 50 million year long explosion.

And you're comparing Saturday morning TV to that. There were a lot of different creatures around early on in the Saturday TV morning world, with little specializations in their little areas. And then they coalesced and changed and evolved over the years. And Tizzwars was like the winner, a late-comer who perhaps had some different types of mandibles on his face.

Or something to help the food from the ocean currents. A little bits of debris and food and had mouth parts, insectoid mouth parts. That's why I say it just infers that Mike Reed is at the top of that evolutionary ladder. All I'm saying is actually interesting to me that it wasn't Tizzwars came out and didn't come out of nowhere.

But it was very much a regional, seemed to be very much a regional ITV sort of phenomena at first. He goes on to say, the BBC did notice the ratings were in decline in the Midlands area where these other shows were floating about. And so that's why they launched Swop Shop in October 1976. Swop Shop's existence is because of Tizzwars, even though the two shows of Chalk and Cheese.

Also, the main reason Tizzwars went near national in late-79 was that the long ITV strike meant that L.W.T. Granada didn't have shows ready to play out at the weekends. So, ATV did, who made Tizzwars it off, because they didn't have the pig, and they were constantly trying to sell Tizzwars to other regions. But for some reason, they wouldn't take them.

These are the regions were like, oh, then they were forced to buy this industrial action. Is that what you're saying? Kind of. And even offered Tizzwars as a freebie to these regions.

So, they're still going to have it. They're saying, no thank you. We're going to make Mr. Banana or whatever for ourselves.

Yeah, so it took them a long time. L.W.T. still then held out for a long time where they sat at the scene R show and sat at the banana. But wasn't the right on the wall with the huge popularity it was?

The sort of ground for the support for it. But this is what I always imagined. I believe one of the opposite of the catch 22 is where it feels like it got known because all the regions were buying it because of the strike because they weren't making it. That's quite fortuitous that they got sold because of the strike.

So, it got bigger because people got more access to it. It wasn't so much that people wanted it because they didn't have the access. Yeah, I mean, it'd be fascinating to see some of these other things that Tizzwars was competing against. There's no media.

There's not a lot of media. You don't get books from those and stuff. There's a few things floating about on YouTube. There's one that Toby Boyd did which was Saturday Starship, which is very Tizzwarsy.

And that was an ITV regional one as well. And then just to close off it says this guy lived in the Anglia region in 79 and the only thing they were showing was Saturday Bananasville by Bill Ody. And but then even L.W.T. had dropped Tizzwars and Granada just showed a lot of black and white films until they decided to show Tizzwars.

He actually bought him a van. Held out the longest. Can you imagine? Oh, at least there's some kids program on.

No, it's like, no. What kind of those really, they must be proper PG like the Nuke of the North or whatever. Those P.G. just terrible P.G.

Skool foundation films like Larry the Dragon or whatever. That would be good. He said black and white. Those children sound like those available.

Yes, those would be kind of more interesting. But they could be terrible boring films. Yeah, but it's not that they're going to get like the centriniens films at that time of the day. No, those kind of films that they show that time of day must be the most boring.

Like the type of films that they show in sort of dentist waiting rooms or something. You know, it's a kind of shit that they would have shown like ITV two in the morning kind of thing when they were just filling up tight. Yeah, you know, it's like kind of very absolutely filler. Did you ever go to the dentist or the doctor or somewhere like that where you had to wait and they had a TV in there and they were showing sort of a medley clip show of Harold Lloyd?

No, never, never. That was everywhere. Just sort of greatest slapstick era clip sort of thing. All I remember from going to the dentist, all the doctors was the waiting room was always the same.

Horrible cheers. So shitty coffee table full of mags that was seven months out of date. National Geographic. And toys, yeah, natural geographic or like hello magazine.

Oh, it's used to go for the National Geographic. The toys in the corner that they haven't been washed into the 80s. Yeah. It's karate dirty everything's maggies are greased to all the plastic toys.

Yeah, I've got a smell coming off here. I'm a niff of an nostalgic dentist. One last wait news. So on Instagram, Chicken Tokes 26 says this about our noodles thing last time he goes.

The katsu curry pot noodle tastes exactly the same as the original curry flavor and even has the exact same mango chutney sashay. So the mango chutney sashay is a fucking leftover from their previous. So it is very deceitful of pot noodle. They're suggesting that all they've done is just scribbled off the pot that says gory and that it counts.

Yeah, they have, haven't they? Those cheapskates. Not the good kind either. It'd be interesting actually knowing that now to put them side to side pot noodle curry and pot noodle.

There's no fucking difference. And what the fuck we've got? Yeah, that it just takes, that it has this sort of generic chip shopping sort of curry flavor. Oh, it's the one.

E-mailed. Oh, look. I'm going to go and vamp, do a song or something while checking email. I've got a wee pee pee pee and it's got a shiny bead of all this stuff.

No, that's good off the right here, isn't it? But you're cock. Yeah, I'm vamping man. Oh, my wee pee pee me tea.

It's smelling up at me. And when my wee pee pee pee, it does a little globular wee. What was that mean? A popular wee.

A globular wee now. Oh, the shining orbit. Winking at my dirty eye. Look at your own little mighty.

You shouldn't have asked man. You should not have asked. No, you're right. It was all that was on me.

I'm so sorry for that. It's wack. No, I'm coming. The fan you got in touch with the cheap joke for our website on the subject of Irish curry sauce.

Oh yeah. We were talking about this. We were talking about. Yeah, but we didn't mention this before.

I thought it was a dream. The fan just says all local chippy sells Irish curry sauce and really indicates it's Steve and it's even one of water's best chip shopping hot for Joe. We could go up there mate. It's just 45 minutes on the train.

Go up there one day. Let's do this. Let's make a commitment right now. Oh, just give me a shot.

Let's get this sauce. We need to get this fucking curry sauce in our gobs, Paul. It goes on to say, Chas Hodges used to visit. You know, Chas, rub it, rub it, rub it, rub it, rub it, rub it, rub it.

Chas, Dave. And the only problem is, Steve and his only problem is Steve and his close proximity to Lechworth swimming pool, which is about 10 miles. Yeah, so you can't go out there. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

You can go up there and ride the wave there, yeah. Apparently, Paul would have to jump in a stream or something to get to me. You know, he'd have a glance at it on the way. He'd have a glance at it on the way.

But Paul, in all seriousness, we definitely should go. Steve and his, we could get there for ten quid or something, returns. If you have a little train, you can pop up. You know what?

We can pop on the fucking train down here in Seven Sisters. Yeah. Or something. We just go down here and go down here and we'll do that then.

Mate, I really need to try out what that chip shop is fucking called and get the fucking Irish sauce. Nice. Well, the fan, if you're listening and I presume you are, because you've emailed. It doesn't even say anything you just read out.

Oh, god, I've closed it all down now. Well, we've got nothing else with this fucking show, do we this week. You fucking start mate. It just says local chippy, says Irish looking.

Okay, if you could. Yeah, if you could give us the top information that we make another out and about episode mate. I've come on and Steve is Just proper grim have you ever been there? No, it's really grim.

Is it yeah? We could go to lechworth I just Could go look at let's go and let's go and you put a whole new meaning of getting your dick wet if we go up to Steven It's we might as well pop up to let's work. I'm not gonna pop up in lechworth me I Weepy beepy It's the bright stuff It's the price of shot If you give it up From the mic Do bad, do bad, do bad, do bad, do bad, do bad, do bad, do bad. Yeah, not worth it.

Welcome to the price of Shite, everybody. It is the part of the show where we go through charity shops and pick up some items. We don't usually. Other people do it for us.

Yes, I was going to mention that. Well, we don't go through charity shops. We go through charity shops, pick up items. And then we play a little game where we have to guess the price of the self-s so that happens more.

I guess we've had the privilege and the luxury of you, the great showlist and her sending things into our PO box, details on our website, and we have to guess them. And it's been a lot of fun. We like the surprise. We like the variety coming from elsewhere in the world.

But Paul, we've been relying on these bespoke prices for so long. If we lost our touch, I don't know what we'd be like. We bought our own these days, but we should. Well, the next one we do will be one of us.

So we haven't done a PCass or Pookass or anything like that, will we? No, but you haven't got me a Christmas present in two years. Who the fuck cares? We're going down to that old one.

Yeah, let's come down to this. It has. You know what's too hot in here? It's not.

I'm very hot and sweaty. You're not. I'm out of shape. No, it is.

It's because you're fake. All right, what do you want to say? How many of my shit is now? Again, Paul, while we're on the subject, yes, your bow smells like fucking guttering.

Anything else? You want to shame me off? Big overweight, slopping around in my own filled shitting, smell bad, pee-pee-hull smells bad, fishy meters. Hey, have I got fishy, moldy meters?

Have I got a bubbly fishy, rimmy, moldy meters? Have I got a bubbly fishy, rimmy, moldy meters? Right, I'm going to fucking turn the heating on. Sick of this.

Don't shame me. You've got an asshole, like everyone else. Everyone else? Yeah, you, you're my asshole.

You're my stinky, baggy, useless, weeping, sore-in, shit-stained, toilet paper peppered, greasy, flabby, chunky, bespeckled, zit-ridden, gaping, skanky, bleeding fucking shit pipe man. Blading shit pipe man. Yeah. Oh, God.

I don't want to live anymore. I had that moment. Right. I just had that moment.

What is your moment? That purpose of this, you know? Doing this. What is it?

Mate, we bring joy and laughter to people's lives, week in, week out. You know, sometimes we're a ray of light on a sunshine day. No, that's... We're a ray of light.

Like every other ray of a fact you like. It's on a sunshine day. Shatter! Right!

I got confused with that song. I'm supposed to abuse this bear. It's time to... Stop calm down.

Calm down. All right. No, he's... Let me just read this.

He's quivering. Yeah, let me read this first. So I give you this. Give me this.

Different bear. Give me this. I don't like it. You don't like my mood.

I don't like it. Calm it. Here's the letter. Right.

Let me read it out. First of all, they didn't put their name on it, so it might be in the answers, but for now it just says, dear cheap show, this is my past the parcel version of the price of shite. Five items are wrapped layer by layer in order of cheapest to most expensive. They were purchased in West London.

All items range from between £25 and £2. The winner gets to keep the items they want. Good luck. Addendum, the first two items at the same price, the last two items at the same price.

So we just know that the last two items are more expensive than the first two. Yes, but the first two. But there's two pairs of prices. Yes, so it's not very clear how we're meant to be...

And this person hasn't said how the two put wings are meant to be appointed, or whether we're just getting the order. I think we... Let's... Let's...

Let's... Let's also now agree on the put wings. Well, I think we should go with the standard between model, but no, it doesn't work. Why not?

It doesn't work. If you automatically... You have to get one... We're only getting two prices each.

This game, aren't we? No. We're going to pass it back and forth. Right, like a path to the puzzle, whoever opens it, gets to have first dibs on guessing the price.

And then the person who gets the next one, whoever that may be, knows it's the same price. It's very complicated. We're going to have to draw a graph or something for the... Explain it to me then.

Explain the rules as we're going to play them this game now to me. I mean, we still have to guess the price. Remember when you do this, what you're about to do, explain it to me. Yeah.

Yeah. Remember, we have only two prices in the whole pack, because there's four items. There's five items, but there's three prices. Read the letter, read the letter, read the letter, there's three prices.

What do you think about it? Yeah. First two the same price, the second two the same price. No, the middle one is on its own.

I didn't get that from the letter. Hang on. I didn't pick up on that. So you didn't pick up on it.

You were paraphrasing. I'm not paraphrasing when I'm reading the actual letter. The actual letter says five items are at layer by layer, cheapest and most expensive. The first two items are the same price, the last two are the same price.

Inferring, the middle third item has a separate price of its own. I didn't pick up on that. Now, we can even do it with separate, you know, it's with three prices. Here we go.

These are three prices. In all. Then there's only three per twings, right? Well, no.

There's six per twings, because if you get it on the nose... How about this for a little bit of danger? Whoever's holding the package and music goes off gets between just for having it when it's music starts. Mate, no, you're now.

That's too much. I know it's per twings. Yeah, that makes it fun, isn't it? These are empty of calories per twings.

These are like... These are rogue per twings. These are per twings that swim down. What's the music?

What music are we going to use? I found the piece of music on YouTube, which has lovely children's music. I'm going to do this and pass it back and forth. This is stupid.

You can't play with two people. Yeah, but it's like, pass the parcel of when you're down to the last two, which doesn't happen for at least 15 minutes usually. And it's like, you know, it's going to get violent. I'm just going to hold it.

I'm just going to hold it to the fucking passes. You can hold it. This is stupid. You can hold it.

You can hold it up to two seconds. It's going to be obviously the whole time of the two seconds, doesn't it? It's going to be obvious by nature. He's so called rogue per twings.

He can't hold it up for two seconds. He's a crypto per twings. He's got no fucking... It's not a bit between.

It's no connection to real value of a twing here. He's a phantom per twings. Crypto phantom per twings. I've got music.

Between coin. Anything else you want to be inside of that? Between coin. I've got a bit of music.

How are we going to play this? Stop the music. I'll have the thing. I'll have to do...

I'm saying I play pass the parcel. Don't come to the sentiment. I know that bit, Paul. You're treating me like a child.

You're treating me as a child. You're holding a teddy bear called Toni. You've molested. Oh, he hasn't seen anything yet.

Hit the between envelope out and then we're going to have a fucking recession. Look, mini session. Here we go. I play the music.

You pass it back and forth. When the music stops. That's how we get to fucking between. It's huge news now.

Whoever opens it gets the look at the item and then they can decide whether they want to take a guess or the person takes the guess. Right. And then we move on to the next. It's a little fiber door.

Then we'll get the points. You still haven't explained it. You still haven't explained. When we get to the second item, we know the second item is the same as the first.

Or you can change your price if you did the second item, change your mind. Oh, I'm ready. Have you got the between envelope? Is it sealed?

Ah, yes. So the answer is, think I'm in a sealed envelope. There's got a little bit of wax on, but as per usual, we like to have a little bit of wax. Now, as per usual, we like to have a guardian for the price.

The usual guardian is in hospital. No, usual guardian, of course, is point Dexter. Point Dexter is our little teddy who usually guards. Point Dexter is the point protector.

Point Dexter is somewhere in Mount Gropans in the underpassages somewhere. So you think it's going to be exploring? I don't know what he's doing. He's got an on time off, but is he hiding from you?

He may be hiding from me. However, there's another bear in my life, Paul. Who hasn't, who's appeared in stuff with me before, you know, and who episodes bring the poo? He did, and he also appeared in some of the live streams.

Yeah, and I got good, good, good, good horny with him then. But your childhood toy is my childhood teddy. Honey, and he can do it. He's a teddy bear.

He can protect these between. He can stand there, but for Point Dexter, but what? Honey, how's he got? I've had honey my whole life.

So he can't talk. You got to take him. I'm going to duct tape him because he doesn't fucking spear any of the secrets of my whole life. He's been there the whole time.

So you know, the bad and the good Paul, the bad and the bad. Mate, I don't think it's necessary to gaffitate up the mouth of your childhood teddy bear. He's got this little bit of ice. That's the face of fear.

Mate, this is turning into buffalow bills, basements. Right. Don't you think he told us all enough? What's that bigger than tell us?

Or that you shot yourself while being sick once? Or that you had a wank in a swimming pool? Oh no. Worse stuff than that.

Like the incident, the Christmas incident. Let's not listen. That's out of that. I can tell it.

That's what a gaffitate me up. I do want to. Right, there he is. What?

Honey's in place. He's protecting the betrains. He's doing a good job. Let's just get this fucking thing started.

I'm getting bored. How are we going to fucking pass it? I'm going to lob it to you. This is fucking the water's going to go everywhere.

We'll pass it this way. We'll pass it that way. This is bullshit. Ready?

I'm going to start the music. I've got it. I've got a video going. So here we go.

Are you ready to start the lovely game with Pass the Parcel? Yes. And I'm passing it to him now. Can I throw it?

I'm into the camps. That's two seconds back and pass it. Oh stop. Hey!

He like gets a point. Fucking between you can't. I know these rogues will come to me. You'll love this.

Right. First later, be careful not to tear too many layers. What's this kind of... Who are these characters on this rapping paper?

Oh, I didn't even take a picture of that. I should have done this quickly. Let me take a picture of the patch. Yeah, that makes sense.

There we go. Job done mate. They look like brats. Those girls by the way are the brats with the Z.

That's how he's going into the outer layer. I can see the next layer down. It's brown rapping paper. That's more to my aesthetic than that.

Is there anything on that layer? It must be underneath this. Oh, very small item. It's a very small item.

I get to look at this and see whether I want to decide on the price. Or I want you to take a guess. Yes. Because...

This is quite good actually. It's quite a good version. I'm enjoying this version. You know why the main reason I'm enjoying this version.

I've got a fucking first between! Right. This is a miniature pack of playing cards. Oh, just a pack of miniature playing cards.

You wouldn't say a pack of miniature playing cards. Or a pack of pop playing cards miniature. You wouldn't say that one. Mini pack of cards.

It's a mini pack of cards, Paul. Quite nice. Quite cute. Quite nice.

It's funny, isn't it, when you get them smaller, they have to be thicker. The more regular size, they are, the less dense, the pack of feels, but that looks quite dense. These are quite nice. Yeah, these are quite thick.

Are they plasticated? No. They've got cheap cardi. They've got no linoid finish.

You need your linoid finish, don't you? A cute little thing? I like their latest art. Linoid finish.

The thing is with miniature playing cards. What's the fucking point of them? You wouldn't want to play with those. And there's almost no situation where normal sized playing cards won't fit.

It just seems to exist because why not? Rather than how many people think. This is a gift-aided product. What you like collecting playing cards packs?

So that's something for your lecture. No, I don't like to collect miniature ones. Oh, you don't? Oh, there's a point for the future as an elated joke.

Or a pop that's the most extreme world smallest that we got. So you don't say good to me. Oh, yeah. They were cool.

They were tiny. They were micro. Nice little thing anyway, Paul. Where do I want to have a go first?

Do you want to have a go first? Do you want to talk to them? No. There's a lot of details about where they were brought in Steven-ish.

No. It's an English. So that's the cheapest item. It's the latest item.

It's most expensive. And the price range is between 25p and 2p. We do. So we have a ceiling and a basement as well.

At least we know that was at least 25p. The basement is 25p. But it's not going to be 25p. You want to wait to the second layer before you make a choice.

No, because you might get the second layer. In which case, you decide. Now there's all this gameplay out of it. It's all mechanic.

That's what I'm saying. It's hard to know without seeing the second layer. Have you got a point down on your sleeve? Have you written down the points already that we've made?

No. I have to make a point down. You need to put your record of point down, make it all the way down. I'll purposely forget it.

Now, so you like to point for having the present? That's a bonus point for the cards. I have a per swing. This round.

You're going to have a guess. Yeah. And that guess is what? 30p.

30p. Is he from out of town this person? Is that from West London? Oh, it's not going to be.
