Well it may be a Bank Holiday but some of us have to work. Well playing a pile of great songs on the radio is not exactly working is it? More in the way of fun.

Anyway apart from the music we also took a peep at a couple of funny stories that you may have missed. The first story revolved around food. Now we’ve all heard  the scare stories surrounding horsemeat, but the menu of a restaurant in Poland had a real delicacy on offer “Cervical Cancer served on beetroot carpaccio”. Sounds delicious but it was all a fault in translation and should have read “Crayfish served on beetroot carpaccio” which sounds a bit more appetising.

Later came the story of church organists, who whilst they might appear meek and mild, as a breed, seemingly may have another side  to their characters. A survey has revealed that they are not averse to extracting revenge from clerics who might upset them, or perhaps mischievously just slip in snippets of heavy metal classics, advertising jingles and even nursery rhymes into hymns and anthems to see if anybody notices.

In one case it seems that an organist in Scotland who had fallen out with some of the elders in the Kirk got his own back by inserting a thinly disguised rendition of “Send in the Clowns” as they processed in for a Sunday service.

Elsewhere, a vicar sacked an organist after he played “Roll out the Barrel” at the funeral of a man known to have been fond of a drink.

Another congregation found themselves passing around the collection plate to the strains of “Money, Money, Money” by Abba.

In one decidedly high church congregation, an organist punctured the mood of reverence as an elaborately dressed clergyman processed back after the gospel reading – by playing the theme tune to The Simpsons.

Well I never! Who’d have believed it?

Enjoy what’s left of your extended weekend. See you tomorrow,
