Man Talk October 5th 2014


 
Dont want to seem ungrateful but i'm not really a fan of the new U2 album, which was downloaded onto my phone last week. Nothing worse than an unwanted gift, anyone know how I can swap it for something I might actually want to listen too. 
 
Every trend has its price, and this week we learned that, the beardy scruffy look favoured by those trendy sorts known as 'Hipsters' has cost the mens grooming market 72 million pounds!  Bet those marketing people at Gillette are not so smart now are they? Or maybe that's the problem! 
 
And the winners is ... At the good funeral awards an undertaker named 'Dyer' was named embalmer of the year. A man obviously born to to do his work.
 
Comedian Omid Djalili gained my admiration for going that extra mile. Talking about his new TV series where he is trying to find Britains hottest Curry. He should have guessed from its title that a dish known as 'The Widdower' would be packing a punch. But he went ahead with the challenge, After trying it he said, it was so hot his body immediately rejected it, this is obviously code for he had to go to the toilet right away, he said he was so traumatised by its effects he was constipated for a week!
 
Which ties in nicely with the revelation we learned this week that we spend almost three years of our lives on the toilet. Possibly a lot longer if we have eaten a 'Widdower'  
 
Bad news this week for  'Take Thaters' and for the talented one the cheeky one the cute one and the one who could dance. No more Jason. Big question they'll all be asking - Who's going to make the tea now?
 
A Japanese company has announced that it plans to build an elevator into space which will be able to link up with the space station. They say the work will be completed by 2050 and the lift will be 60,000 miles long, and will take 7 days to reach the top floor. Or maybe a lot longer if kids get in and press all the buttons.
 
What about all these spiders we are being plagued with at the moment. Some of them are huge! I heard this week how in Japan their using their spiders for sport, for what they call spider fighting, and they describe their spiders as 'samuari spiders'. There are also spider fighting clubs you can join. First rule of spider fighting club don't talk about spider fighting club. Maybe we'll be starting them here soon.
 
One thing wrong with Boris johnson's idea to sell tickets to watch the fireworks on New Years eve over London. Most fireworks go off in the sky? Whats he going to do charge you to look up!
 
Hows this for a strange colaboration The Chuckle Brothers Paul and Barry are said to be working with award winning rapper Tiny Tempah, on his new song. If the chorus doesn't include the sentence 'To me – To you' at least ten times I'd count that as a wasted opportunity.
