Yes I am back and I just put out another episode today for you my beloved listeners!
Glad you like the BSS song… It’s always good to let you guys discover new vibes!

Another episode too! You’re so good to us. *smooch*
I’m going to have to get a microphone to send you voice messages, Saskia. You will then be able to hear my very rusty francais. I will try to make my American English sound as sexy as your Frenglish but I’m not sure how that will be achieved.
Your mentioning me on the show made my day! Thanks! Eat it up fellas! Now I’m an international podcasting star too, at least in name anyway. Is it time for KevboNation?
I would tell you that the “e” in Kevbo is a little softer than you say it but I like it your way better! It’s just a nickname for one such as myself named Kevin.
I always get a kick out of it, when in the course of catching up with PK&J and Zan & Jana (B’sYU) they refer to you and in turn you have refered to them. It’s one big adoring incestuous podcasting family! And there you all are on each others’ forums, too! Would it be wrong of me to start having sexual fantasies involving Saskia, Jeanette and the so far headless but sexy torso of Jackhammer Johnson wielding Jana? No, I don’t think it would be wrong. Soccergirl may enter into things too.
But back to less prurient things… Yeah, I enjoyed the unique sounds of BSS. You’re right, the female voices give it a nice difference. Despite being within eyesight of Canada I haven’t had a chance to listen to them previously at much length.
Oh as for the phrase “Bob’s Your Uncle,” it actually is pretty much a British/Australian saying. But we do know it over in the states and Canada very well. We understand it but we don’t know the real origin though. Here’s a big definition of it: http://www.worldwidewords.org/qa/qa-bob1.htm. Most Americans either know it from the variety of Britcom imports or Michael Caine movies but primarily from Dick Van Dyke’s cockney-mangling chimney sweep character in the Walt Disney flick “Mary Poppins.”
And in the spirit of international music listening… I’m listening to a snazzy Paolo Conte greatest hits album from 1996 right now.
Merci, Saskia.
Bon soir, mon cheri.

OMG, this is a hell of a comment and was stucked for God only knows what reason.
Podcasting incest is good
And viva Italia who finally got rid of a phony president!
We should take example by getting rid of Chirac, Bush, Howard and many others!
I can’t wait to hear your sexy American accent!
Thanks a lot Kevbo!
PS. It’s “ma chérie” because I am a girl, “mon chéri” is used if you address to a guy.

In the show you queried my intentions viz-a-viz the Chocolate comment. (Then I felt really guilty calling myself “Lavender Hillbilly” as it is so difficult to pronounce, but it’s too late now.)
Anyway, you explained well how UK chocolate would be illegal in France as it would not contain enough cocoa solids, and that UK chocolate has far too much sugar in it. So, on the face of it, UK chocolate should be shunned by all sophisticated people.
This is true, it does violate all the principles of good food. It isn’t smart and it makes you fat. But UK chocolate has something undeniable, an addictive sort of secret: it tastes so good and it always makes you feel better - the ultimate comfort food. I can’t really explain the fascination, but I can assure you that British people love their UK chocolate.
In my comment introducing chocolate / chocolat into the debate following ASAYL Show 16: Saskia Loves The UK, I meant to suggest that you explore this fascination with someone brought up with UK chocolate - maybe Rachel in Liverpool? See if she preferred French chocolat or UK chocolate, as she could compare the two?
But now I hear that you don’t like chocolat. Oh well, it was just a suggestion, but one that seems to have struck a chord with your listeners as many comments show.
My position on this? I am a guy living in the UK. I am not completely immune to UK chocolate or French chocolat’s pleasures, but I do not experience the exquisite rush that my female acquaintences say they get when they eat it.
Finally, to add to your collection of English egg cooking terms, frying an egg the opposite of “sunny side up” - i.e. face down - is called “over easy”. An egg that is broken into boiling water is called a “poached egg”. If you whip up an egg as you heat it in a pan with butter, it is called “scrambled”. Then it’s back to you for the more sophisticated “omlette”!

You guys are world champions at longest comments!
I am really proud to have you as my listeners!
Lavender Hillbilly don’t change your nickname I love it more than I can well pronounce it!
Anyway I will try to find out about this UK chocolate mystery for you and many thanks for all this informations.
