On today’s show I gave a mention to a forthcoming great family event that has been organised by Churches Together in Billericay. I need say no more about it because all the details are here –
Also on today’s show –
A Norwegian football fan has scooped nearly £2,000 after Luis Suarez bit Giorgio Chiellini in the World Cup on Tuesday.
Richard Helmersen put 100 kroner (about a tenner) on the Uruguayan biting again at 175/1 having twice been punished for doing so.
And when Suarez sunk his teeth into Chiellini on Tuesday evening Helmersen became £1,880 richer.
“It’s really quite surreal,” he said. “I sit watching the game and when it happens I start to get messages from buddies who knew I’d put money on it. It’s quite fun.
“I started to laugh. I thought ‘is he really so stupid that he does it again?'”
He added that he’ll put his winnings towards a trip to England to watch Premier League football.
“A little extra money comes the always handy when it’s summer in southern Norway. But there will be definitely a football trip to England in the autumn!”
