Great to be here Michael looking forward to debating the news with you. We start at number one with the Ukraine with Russia amassing 100,000 troops on Ukraine’s border looking very threanting while NATO through President Biden looks to try and stand united warning any attack by Russia on Ukraine will have dire consequences for Putin and Russia
MICHAEL
For story number two, we ask are you responsible while your car is on autopilot its becomes involved in a fatal accident, who is responsible - the manufacture or you - are you the passenger or the driver ?
BOB
While for story number three we ask ‘pip, pip’’ are you as ‘keen as mustard’ to ‘nail your colours to a mast’ or am I talking a’ aload of old codswallop’ - many seem to think so as many one common sayings in the English language are just not used any more. We look at the sayings losing out and identify some up and coming ones
MICHAEL
Meanwhile for story number four, we look the man who caused the headline of the week from the Independent - Man who took uncle’s corpse into post office to collect pension says he ‘didn’t know he was dead’ Need to discuss the story behind that headline!!
BOB
What’s at number five? Well, Do you know where you robot vacuum is ? Well a Cambridge Travelodge’s went AWOL for 24 hours found in a hedge. Should we be locking up our robots ?
MICHAEL
