You’d think that’s included in his wise and pithy autobiography about alcohol. In fact it’s not, because he gives them out for free here. Gratis. Speaking of all the relevant pith, John’s a bestseller! Isn’t that neat. No. 2 General Hardback. And No. 1 if you include a vast variety of audio platforms which Big Bird Book won’t care to mention. Elsewhere, Dave’s brought a present, a listener has been radicalised against Elis and there are yet more sackings in John’s crosshairs. Plus, for the RSS & Patreon lot amongst you, you have been ringfenced! And in said ringfence the boys demonstrate their expertise of doing yet another incredibly easy to understand plug. And do remember, t-shirts can be given to people for different reasons. hello@elisandjohn.com if you work in the Treasury and have jargon to send us.
