Tubridy Thursday

A lot of people are not quite happy campers today after the non-performance of rock legends Guns n Roses.  With concert tickets still costing a pretty penny depsite the recession, you'd at least expect to get value for your money.  Instead what thousands of people got last night was a very long wait and a strop from frontman Axl Rose.  5 songs later he was off the stage and people were heading home.  Ryan talked to a couple of people who were at the gig and they tell us, accompanied by audio recorded at the gig, exactly what happened. 

 

Jane Ruffino and Kirstie McDermott also gave us the low down of the evolution of the high heel.  Fascinating stuff!  Shoes are a passion you either have or don't have.  Ryan also got talking to Dee who is a self-confessed shoeaholic and has an estimated 80 pairs of shoes.  All seem willing to sacrifice comfort for style.  Beauty is pain after all.

 

After getting in a text from a lady who couldn't decide whether or not to try for another baby in her 30's, we decided to put it out there and the postive response was amazing.  It really seems as if many are leaving parenthool until a little later in life.  Ryan spoke to a number of men and women today who decided to have or are still thinking about having babies despite being in their 30's and 40's.

 

Two of the team were speaking today also about an ever increasing problem in our supermarkets...being charged incorrectly.  You walk down the aisle in you local store and spot a 'Buy One Get One Free' on your favourite cheese.  You get home and a week later you find the receipt and discover that you have actually paid for both packets of cheese.  The cheese has been eaten and it's to late to take them back.  So many people get stung like this so it's always important to check your receipt before you leave the store or right away when you get home.  Discover the mistakes and take the products back otherwise the store won't know they are over-charging their customers.  Now in most stores you if there is a discrepancy in items you were charged for, you will get a full refund and the product for free so it's worth the time to check your receipt thoroughly.
