April 20th - Show 102 - Podcast 15

The One That's Machiavellian

Lee rants about illegal immigrants and the BNP. Also hear the odd story about someone anonymously posting BNP stuff thru Lees letterbox! We do find ourselves wondering if a Glenister was in a movie over the Easter holiday and also how evil our audience actually is (take the Evil test under News). There's the usual mixture of obscure stuff and if you've listened before, then you know it's difficult to categorise...

Listener Feedback (or, 'Previously on The Snug')

On the April 6th show there was discussion regarding Tom Cruise and Katie Holms. The talk was about Katie's delivery and how Tom apparently was forcing her to keep quiet during labour. Well that is not the case. The people attending her are asked to be quiet and not be frantic. They are creating a calming birthing experience. Katie is NOT being forced to be quiet, no one is taking away her rights. Just to let you know...T

On the April 13th show the was no "This Week's Silence" It was sadly missed...T

This Is True
HARD TO BELIEVE THIS PLAYED IN PEORIA: When Matt Robison, 21, of Ottawa, Ill., learned that a Brit had recently set a world record for the number of body piercings in one sitting, he set out to break the record. After 500 piercings at a tattoo studio, he modified his goal: it was so painful that instead of a planned 1,200 studs to break the record by a good margin, he'd settle for just breaking the record. After 14 hours and 1,015 punctures, he declared victory. "It was taking its toll," he said afterward. "I'm just relieved it's done." But then he had all the piercings removed, which was just about as painful, he said. Was it worth it? Oh yes, Robison said. "I feel like I've done something memorable with my life." (Peoria Journal Star) ...Excellent: he illustrated just how different "memorable" is from "worthwhile"

Just leaving a note to say I read your blog. I usually read it after I do the fan blog. It's interesting to see the different perspectives on the same show. I wish other people would contribute to the blog to see even more perspectives.
