May 4th - Show 104 - Podcast 17

May the Fourth (be with you)

Ah...Catastrophic failure whilst writing the show notes means that you really will have to listen to catch the missing bits. These notes will be patchier than normal.

We talked a lot about pooh in the start of the show and then the Number 2 association kicked in and we moved onto the special significance of numbers which brought us neatly to Numb3rs (the US series with the crime fighting mathematician) and, sadly, the demise of one of our favourite programmes, Heist. It's a travesy that small minded US TV execs can cancel such a good show after only 5 episodes...They should all meet a sticky end (and let people who appreciate good TV have a go).

As it's our Birthday, here's a couple of shots I found today from when we first started:










We do cover a whole host of other stuff, but the Snugfan blog does it a whole lot better than me at 23:50 on a Thursday. We decide to 'end' the show early and show our podcast listeners just what they're missing with an abbreviated Snug 2 and we end that with a spoof written by our favourite girls.

Tom Jones - Stoned Love

This Is True:

While taking a class in Valparaiso, Ind., Teresa Prenderville, 32, allegedly became irate when
another student asked if the seat next to her was taken. Prenderville allegedly told the man,
"I'm going to put a cap in you and send you to heaven" with such intensity, the man started crying.
Prenderville then stormed out to the school's lobby, broke a display case, and then punched a door
so hard she bent its frame, police say, noting she was so agitated they had to restrain her after her
arrest for intimidation and criminal mischief.   The class? You guessed it: Anger Management.
