Well aren’t I the lucky one as I got to handle a third show this week? On Tuesday’s show we got down to some serious local political stuff so today I turned my attention to music and some more oddball stories selected from PHOENIX FM’s Department of Weird and Whacky News.
First off we learnt that no less than 30 applications were submitted to a spoof advertisement which appeared on Linkedin for the vacancy at the Vatican resulting from the resignation of Pope Benedict XVI. The job as described called for infallible applicants with strong problem solving skills with a willingness to work on Sundays. In return it was claimed that a competitive salary, a company car plus an annual pass to the Sistine Chapel, opportunities to travel and a job for life was on offer. Although it was explained that the Vatican took equal opportunities seriously and that as such people from all ethnic backgrounds would be considered, the only stipulation was that women need not apply!
Later we heard about two meths drinkers who were so high on the stuff that they believed that their home had been broken into and so called the police. Big mistake! When the police arrived at 4am they were met by the two men running out of the door saying that they could hear people in the back bedroom who had broken into the house. The police then noticed that the men were totally “spaced out” and duly arrested and charged them with manufacturing and possession of the drug.
Well that’s me done for today. Bob will be back on this show tomorrow and I look forward to seeing you again on Monday.
