Good morning, you lazy bastards! One listener called Martin has been up and at 'em since earlytimes, because before this post even went up, he tweeted us with a solution to one of the problems discussed in Answer Me This! Episode 267: Josh, who is trying to watch racy HBO shows on his iPad at the gym without feeling ashamed, needs to get <a href="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/380694696940" target="_blank">one of these</a>. Wallop! Problem solved.* And what have you done lately, eh?

Don't worry, we don't really require you to do very much at all, except listen to the episode, of course, in which we also consider:

<a href="http://www.bugexplorers.co.uk" target="_blank">spiders</a>
<a href="http://6thfloor.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/07/26/who-made-that-penny/?_r=0" target="_blank">Victor David Brenner</a>
SculptureShop
Thomas Jefferson vs. Mariah Carey
Olly's dad vs. DVDs
corrupt bakers
Theresa May: monarchical midwife
À la recherche du temps perdu
madeleines
Farter's Day
the definition of virginity
and
Richard Nixon.

Plus, each of us is ready for combat this week: Olly provokes a rematch of the Battle of Agincourt, but this time over French cakes versus English cakes; Helen wages war against cliché; and Martin the Sound Man takes a shoot-to-kill policy on spiders and whelks.

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>, learn how to decorate your home in the Olly Mann style: with squashed moths. Or, if you prefer slightly less morbid things on your walls, you could get the <a href="http://www.cafepress.com/answermethis.402984083" target="_blank">AMT clock</a> that he mentions in the show. That's right: Olly Mann's clockface is his own face. We're still working on turning Helen's face into a sundial.

While we do that, you should work on sending us your <a href="http://answermethispodcast.com/questions" target="_blank">QUESTIONS</a>. It's easy: leave voicemails on the Question Line (call 0208 123 5877 or Skype ID answermethis) and send emails to <a href="mailto:answermethispodcast@googlemail.com">answermethispodcast@googlemail.com</a>. Bam. Job done.

See you next Thursday,

Helen &amp; Olly

• • • AMT267 Child-Friendly Rating: 50%. Just a couple of swears. Question about sex scenes in HBO shows. Graphic mental image of Jack Straw staring up a royal birth canal. Question about virginity at the end of the show with, naturally, references to sexual practices, albeit thoughtful rather than lairy in tone. • • •
