[Radio Podcast] Workplace Romance and Lindsay Lohan

In this week's show, the Government says it is saving money for drivers, and I agreed in a childishly sarcastic way, Lindsay Lohan has paid an artists to paint her naked, we take a lead from X Factor and think about having a fling at work and something about lobsters. Here's the podcast of it for you to download/listen. (Originally broadcast on Sunday 26th October 2014.)

Man Who Lives In Bin Goes Viral

I was driving to a gig in the north when I stopped at a motorway services and read in the paper that there’s a man living in a bin. It’s a filthy, dirty place to live that smells. But I had a gig there, so that’s why I was going.

Anyway, back to the story. There’s a man who lives in a bin. I had to check to make sure it wasn’t just an episode of Sesame Street that some reporter had taken seriously.

In the clip you see a man living in a public bin in Manchester, having a little smoke. That’s terrible. If you want to smoke you should go outside, you’ll make your home smell.

It turns out the clip was actually a hoax, and obviously so. Why would you live in a bin in Manchester? The houses are probably cheaper than the bins. But in London that now seems like a good idea. Recently there was a story where some small garage sold for millions in London, so soon there will be no hope of normal people living in the nation’s capital. This joker has stumbled across the solution. If we convert some of the public bins into housing there’ll be a place we non-rich can make a home. You’d have to find a way to run power into it, probably from a nearby street light, and maybe we should tell the IRA it’s not a bin any more, just in case.

eBay for a Girlfriend

They say there are plenty more fish in the sea. But that's no good. No one wants to make love to a fish. Not even another fish. In the fish world the female spew out some eggs and then the male jizzes on those eggs. It's a great way to breed without contracting an STI, but you wouldn't believe the looks you get from a woman when you suggest it.

Anyway, the end of one relationship can be a tricky time, but one enterprising chap found a way to quickly move on.

A man in the UK used eBay to find a girl to replace his ex. He was really breaking the trend there. Normally if a man wants to find another woman to replace the ex he goes online to spend some money, but not on eBay.

He was looking for a woman to go with him on holiday. IT technician Jake Dodridge had booked a romantic £650 trip with his long-term girlfriend, but just before the trip she left him. So he took to the auction site to find someone to go with him. It's a shame there wasn't a website where he could just sell the tickets to the highest bidder and make the money back. Oh well.

His listing said: "This isn't something I would normally do, but when life gives you lemons you have to make lemonade."

God, that phrase again. You don't. You really don't. We live in a time of plenty, feel free to throw the lemons away. Or at the very least don't add sugar too them and drink them. That land of plenty is also the cause of our diabetes.

He added: "It's not about making money, I just want someone to go with so the holiday will go to the highest bidder. It will be a great first date." Yes. And also last one.

But he put the ad on eBay with a starting price of 99p. So far still no bids. Wow. And his girlfriend left a catch like that?

Still, if he can't get a new woman on eBay he could try Amazon, as long as he's into really talk chicks.

What's The Latest Political Hypocrisy

Political hypocrisy is hardly something new. They speak of family values while heading off to be spanked in a Mayfair club by some leather-clad sort. They're the ones spending the tax we pay because we can't claim some things as expenses, meanwhile they claim a duck house as their second residence or something, but this latest news takes the biscuit.

Nearly 90 per cent of MPs exceed the government’s recommended calorie intake each week. But I guess I'd overindulge if I spent all of my time in a party. Eh, party? Because... nevermind.

They're telling us to watch what we eat while they're filling their faces. If you can't manage to live by a rule you can't expect everyone else to. For the same reason it would be great to see MPs have to spend a month of every year living off benefits, just so they can't keep in touch with the issues they're making decisions on.

The same survey also found that nearly half fail to take regular exercise and the stats break down interestingly when you look at the parties. Conservative MPs were the least active when compared to their colleagues. That can mean only one thing, the dominatrices in Mayfair really aren't working them hard enough.

Labour MPs are the most active. I was surprised by that. You'd have thought the Lib Dems might have burnt off a few calories doing all those U-turns.

Also in the study we found that the Liberal Democrats were the least stressed MPs. That's impressive, that they can remain unstressed by the pressure of knowing that after an election you could running the entire country and... oh... oh yeah... good point.

Around 20% of MPs also admitted they drink too much, but that one is harder to pick on. Famously Winston Churchill managed to fight the Second World War while drinking heavily. That also explains why the first few air raids to Germany involved the pilots shouting, "Come on then! You want some!"

Jesus Found in Japanese Cake


Sometimes the world seems very fragmented; there are cultures that don't mix and that separation is holding humanity back. That's why it is good to see something bring us together. The face of Jesus has been found in a Japanese green tea roll.

Previously his face has been seen in wood, toast and potatoes but they've all been in Catholic countries, so pretty much preaching to the choir. But it was in a roll from a Komeda coffee outlet in the mostly Buddhist and Shinto Japan where he's now popped up. That's step one in recruiting. It's good to mix things up a little and appear in the foods of other cultures. It's like when the pope makes some comment about the Israel and Palestine, you think, "This isn't really your department but it's nice to know you care."

Jesus appearing to followers of Buddhism and Shintoism is a bold move, but if he wants to get in the news he has to pop up in some chip butty in the Islamic State. He's probably not willing to upset anyone that much, because after all, he's not Jeremy Clarkson.
