Shownotes Transcript

The floods have been horrendous down south….I have never seen anything like it….coastlines washed away taking railway lines and houses with them…so sad for the poor folk who have lost everything…the government have decided to take action and said it will cost 20 million to sort things out (so someone is due to make 20 million)…there was a guy in the North East who solves the problem there by utilising tree trunks and branches to slow down the flow of rivers…successfully…they asked him how much he thought he would be able to solve the problem down south …have a guess….200 thousand… .Let’s all scare the life out of everyone with EXPLODING BATTERIES !!...yes a couple of modern batteries have gone bang in the WORLD so the media are straight on to it…”It could cause plane crashes…it could blow your hand off …etc”….then we see an experiment where a laptop battery is blown to pieces….so DON’T buy counterfeit batteries !!!....I wonder if the manufacturers of the originals have anything to do with this…losing a bit of money are we?...before we know where we are there will be a third one going off in the world.

The tattoo and implant market is booming in this country…maybe I’m getting old but are people losing their marbles?...for the life of me I can’t see the point…especially after all the negative press with implants…which to me LOOK like implants…..and as for tattoos…well….and they wonder why they can’t get jobs.

There has been a programme on the tele called “The Jump” which involves a bunch of celebs competing against each other on ski slopes….sounded O.K. at the outset but it was another dud despite Davina McCall showing as much enthusiasm as she possibly could….there were only two left standing at the end…the rest of them sustaining quite serious injuries…totally pointless…at least there were no fatalities…but it came pretty close.

I was delighted with the news that Bill Roache was cleared of all the alleged sexual activity he was accused of forty odd years ago….but notice the accusers get off scott free…the law is in need of serious changes on this subject…lets hope this case helps all the other “rich” celebs who are there for the taking.

and I couldn’t believe it was 10 years ago since the cockling disaster in Morecambe Bay when those poor Chinese lost their lives…and the scum who was responsible has only served part of his sentence and been shipped off back to where he came from…he should have been hung drawn and quartered…but that’s our so called justice system.
