Big Bang Theory
Apparently it's the Pope's birthday today. According to the BBC, he politely declined a gala birthday dinner hosted by George Bush, but there was still going to be a twenty one gun salute fired from the White House lawn in his honour. All I could think when I heard this was: "that sounds dangerous - I really hope they miss."

Shine a Light
Just been listening to Virgin Radio News and apparently the Olympic torch has been "distinguished" in Paris :-)
Virgin is pretty much the only music radio station I can listen to for any extended period of time and I do like it, but it has previously made me laugh in unintended ways. A presenter was heavily promoting a Bryan Adams gig once and was presumably trying to say how much he'd enjoyed seeing the Canadian rocker live - the trouble was he said "Ah, Bryan Adams, he's great; he never fails to disappoint."
However I don't think that anything yet beats the local radio travel reporter on Invicta FM several years ago, who had to warn drivers that a cattle truck had overturned on the motorway and a bullock had escaped. She said there was a bollock loose on the M20. Now that's certain to cause a traffic jam.
