FRESH FROM our appearance in our local newspaper (for which we are eternally and humbly grateful), we decided to leap into action and get the latest episode online as soon as possible. So here it is.

Unusual events in India, America and Germany are on the menu, and for whatever reason, violence seems to be the theme. Pensioners attacking jaywalkers, muggers politely mugging pensioners, and a man in a wheelchair attached to the front of a lorry are among the subjects we analyse in familiar Blueprint fashion.

IN THIS episode, Chris and Greg get into science, and question whether the aliens are sitting in their space houses listening to 1930′s radio shows on their space radios.

We also discuss the tale of a man who shot his wife’s computer (better than shooting his wife, we suppose), and whether this constitutes a terrorist crime or not.

The eighth series of the UK Big Brother is upon us, and we take the opportunity to talk about the way some people represent themselves as being pointless and vapid in order to gain fame. Would you seek fame based purely on the idea that you may look a little bit like a celebrity? It seems that there are a few people out there who do.

We also talk about a slightly disturbing tale of a German man who managed to somehow get a plunger stuck in an intimate place, and whether or not it was really as accidental as he claimed.

Greg indulges in a little toilet surfing.
