Love Rats, Common Streels & Rubbing Gee on Potatoes

Karen’s taken a bang on the head, but thankfully it hasn’t stopped her talking, and this week Don’t Call Me Darling is all over the place in the best possible way.

Niall has a LOT to say about Aer Lingus WiFi and why getting the password sometimes feels like trying to uncover the Third Secret of Fatima. They also discuss the lost art of putting pen to paper, leaving the house looking like a complete state, the fake sick voice employees put on when ringing the boss and that strange phenomenon where your illness suddenly becomes their illness.

Plus, are the days of nicking office stationery finally over? Is a woman’s body hair anybody’s business but her own? Niall and Karen get into loverats, cheaters and relationship boundaries, before discussing the 62 year old woman who packed in her crappy job, went travelling around the world and says she has absolutely no regrets.

There’s also “gooning”, the bizarre and potentially dangerous Gen Z trend, Meghan Markle’s Advent Calendar, Tom Cruise apparently keeping chivalry alive and, for reasons nobody can quite explain, the return of the ghee as Chef Fatty reveals his roast potato secrets.

And if that isn’t enough, Larry the Cat makes an appearance, there’s a baked beans world record and possibly a few windy days ahead.

Finally, this week’s Listener Dilemma: ROAD RAGE! When another driver sends you over the edge, how far is too far?

It’s marriage, arguments, laughs, nonsense and absolutely no filter.

Don’t Call Me Darling, with Niall & Karen.
