You probably don&rsquo;t need us to tell you that it was flipping hard work.</span></strong></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><strong><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;;">&nbsp;</span></strong></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><strong><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;;">So here&rsquo;s the deal, </span></strong><strong><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;;">we produce 25 podcasts over a 24 hour period with absolutely no sleep, then secondly, <em>you</em> donate some money to The Alzheimer&rsquo;s Society. Surely four and a half hours of material is worth a few quid? Please don&rsquo;t have let us do all this for nothing.</span></strong></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><strong><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;;">&nbsp;</span></strong></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><strong><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;;">For more information about us and to listen to the Podathon itself, please visit <a href="http://www.timandsimon.co.uk/podathon"><span style="color: blue;">www.timandsimon.co.uk/podathon.</span></a></span></strong></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><strong><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;;">&nbsp;</span></strong></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><strong><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;;">Thanks for reading and we hope you enjoy listening to Tim and Simon&rsquo;s Podathon.</span></strong></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;;">&nbsp;</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><strong><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;;">Tim and Simon</span></strong></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;;">&nbsp;</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;;">Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure.
