...although one might need the latter to help the former along...
Personally I'd take the banquette, more lager and leave Jazzer behind.

I agree, Polly! I think Kirsty deserves some kind of medal for agreeing to go along. I'm already cringing a little at the thought of listening to 30 minutes a week of this journey for the next couple of weeks; you'd have to pay me quite a lot to convince me to go along in person on a journey with Jazzer! Too much time spent with pigs, perhaps, and not enough human interaction to teach him how to act like a decent human being?

Did they actually mention "banquette"?
I recall "Cushions"

When Fallon saw the cushions and loved them, Harry said his idea was to make a banquette. Jazzer wanted them all thrown out to put booze in their place.
If the odious Jazzer just wants to get bladdereed, why doesn't he just stay at home on his own and drink himself into a stupor every day?
I don't think I'll be listening to much of this. 12 days?! Bloody hell!

Without Jazzer I'd love it. With him, I think I'll give it a miss and wait for Kenton and Jolene and their trip to NZ.
I spose the Edinburgh stuff is meant to be comedy.
Clearly not MY kind of comedy.
Perhaps the wretched van will drop to pieces twenty miles on and give us all a break!
At the beginning there was a suggestion it was a one man van, and two could just about manage, now there is 4 of them. I don't think I would like to be that up close with any of them but especially the ridiculous Scottish stereotype.
It sounded as if the van has a diesel engine but if so Jazza wouldn't have any spark plugs to play with, as he was doing the other day. So if it's petrol powered it sounds most unhealthy and I wouldn't trust it to get to Penny Hassett.
As for the drink, warm canned/bottled lager that's been shaken and stirred in the back of a van does not make for a pleasant drinking experience!

I just LAd. Jazza definitely WAS cleaning spark plugs (the need for which bodes ill!) so it is NOT diesel. But re the noise, if it is a VW Campervan with air-cooled engine they can sound awful yet still plug on endlessly.

I don't think Jazza takes a gourmet approach to lager - but he probably runs to cool-boxes, and the Bull will have ice. The van probably has a fridge?
Or one of these? (I have one!)
Sorry, I didn't know it was one of those VWs: that explains things. It sounded like crates being loaded rather than cool boxes, but I don't suppose our hero is too bothered either way. I like the egg fridge, I imagine it's powered from the van's cigar lighter plug, is it? Can the van handle fairy lights, radio/cd player and a fridge without blowing fues?
A JY, not a VW . Makes all the difference.
OK, I thought there was one good exchange, when Jazzer remarked to Harry that with Kirsty's presence their chances had doubled and Harry rebuked him like a spinster headmistress for being so foul - as if Harry hadn't already started thinking about Fallon pah! Anyway it made me laugh.
Otherwise the thought of following that lot up to Edinburgh is rather dreary.
