Don't question the merits of Steampunk! It rocks!

Ugh.

<a href="http://www.beautyandthebib.com/product.php/1213/35/i-love-my-auntie-pippa" target="_blank">THIS SHIT.</a>

ROYAL BABY! ROYAL BABY! ROYAL BABY! #ROYALBABY!

However, at the time of posting, the creature hasn't actually been born, so try to keep a lid on that ROYAL BABY EXCITEMENT for long enough to listen to Answer Me This! Episode 263, in which we discuss such matters as:

steampunk
Switzerland's self-destructive self-defence
Prince Charles's <a href="http://www.highgroveshop.com/clothes-accessories/hats-scarves/childs-highgrove-check-flat-cap/c-clo00279-280/" target="_blank">flat caps for kiddies</a>
<a href="http://www.geeknative.com/37248/8-impressive-steampunk-top-hats/" target="_blank">goggles on hats</a>
<a href="http://www1.pictures.zimbio.com/gi/Samuel+Sanchez+Le+Tour+de+France+2011+Stage+Utn_f5Hm2zGl.jpg" target="_blank">the Tour de France yellow jersey vs. the Tour de France polka dot jersey</a>
your lies to your girlfriend vs. everybody else's lies to your girlfriend
Lisa Simpson vs. Nick Cave
Swiss Roll
KW Jeter
<a href="http://www.meltingpot.com/international.aspx" target="_blank">The Melting Pot</a>
and
Euros.

Plus: Olly's money-based conjuring tricks weren't fooling anyone; if Helen's guess is correct and the ROYAL BABY receives the same middle name as Diana, Frances (Francis for a boy), then everybody has to give her £10 in congratulation; and Martin the Sound Man knows where to go in the event of nuclear apocalypse in the middle of Europe.

In this week's Bit of Crap on the App, which is available for <a href="http://tinyurl.com/amtapp" target="blank">iDevices</a> and <a href="http://tinyurl.com/androidAMT" target="blank">Android</a> we harp on about Royal Baby Krispy Kreme. No, we haven't had a heads-up that the baby will be named Krispy Kreme Kambridge (but if it IS, you definitely have to give us all £10); we're talking about <a href="http://www.krispykreme.co.uk/old-hot-now-use-this-to-untick-hot-now/stories/2013/06/6471/" target="_blank">this shit</a>.

But...if you are absolutely desperate to piss away money on some spurious tie-in with the ROYAL BABY, then the <a href="http://answermethispodcast.com/jubilee" target="_blank">AMT Jubilee</a> is obviously the best direction in which to piss. And we have no qualms about recommending our SMASH HIT TOP 15 ALBUM <a href="http://answermethispodcast.com/holiday" target="_blank">Answer Me This! Holiday</a>.

Also, please do send us your <a href="http://answermethispodcast.com/questions" target="_blank">QUESTIONS</a> for the new series: leave voicemails on the Question Line - call 0208 123 5877 or Skype ID answermethis - or send emails to <a href="mailto:answermethispodcast@googlemail.com">answermethispodcast@googlemail.com</a>.

See you next Thursday,

Helen &amp; Olly
