So, here it is. The first (or second depending if you count my other post along these lines!) installment of Sunday Supplement – the (fairly) regular round up of ‘news’ in the wonderful world of the Sunday papers.
So without further ado, let’s get on with it!
A cabbie in Cambridge has a novel way of entertaining his passengers. He dons a fez and treats them to Tommy Cooper impressions. This certainly beats the drivers I normally get, who seem to see me as someone to hold hostage whilst they inform me of their (usually) dubious and bigoted political views!
Here’s some thinking I can understand. The 125 strong crew of HMS Endurance have stocked up with 40,000 bars of chocolate in case they get stranded on their mission to the Antarctic. There is other food on board obviously, but they seemed more concerned about running out of chocolate, baked beans and pop!
The Health and Safety people are making their rounds again. The organisers of Halesowen’s local Christmas parade have been told that Santa can only make an appearance if he agrees to wear a seat belt whilst driving his sleigh. Next they’ll be wanting him to have airbags and decide that Rudolph’s nose isn’t the correct level of brightness!
However, maybe this partly led to their decision. Part of the Northbound M3 motorway carriage was closed yesterday. Firefighters were called to the scene where two reindeer and a sleigh had overturned in their trailer on their way to another local display. Bet they wished they’d got their seatbelt now! (For the animal lovers amongst us apparently the reindeer were fine and weren’t hurt at all)
And finally…
My horoscopes have informed me that as one door closes, another opens, that my soulmate will be arriving shortly, that I will learn new work skills and destiny plans a meeting in a supermarket. So, if I’ve got it right then I will lose my job, get a new one in the local Tesco and probably have an affair with my new boss! Great. Something to look forward to for this week then!
Got a chuckle out of this. So I’m liking the new Sunday Supplement.

Fish – Ha, hadn’t thought of that! Still, that amount of chocolate has got to be some form of compensation though, huh?
