Hello - temporary post here to get you listeners do do me a favour.
My mate works in Central Park. So do I. I am always there drinking coffee and tapping on my laptop. Our crappy city is running this voting thing for best place in the Boro and you can help make my mates place and my outside office the hippest place to visit in this god awful place called Peterborough.

So do me a favour and vote... And I promise we'll release more shows. Blackmail? Yes. Sometimes a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do.

Kidding - new shows soon. VOTE VOTE VOTE...
