And now the UKIP shipping forecast

Because UKIP councillor David Silvester claimed to know the mind of god, revealing that the floods that hit the UK recently were punishment for the country’s passing of gay marriage laws, it made sense to replace the good old Radio 4 Shipping Forecast with a specialised UKIP version, which is just what Nicholas Pegg did.

There’s also the UKIP Weather Twitter service for those in dangerous areas wanting up to the minute warnings of homosexuality caused floodings.

Friday Comedy Double: Understanding the Dutch

Time to revive an old Prog Gold tradition and have ourselves a comedy double. This time it’s a special comedy introduction to understanding the Dutch.

American comedian Greg Shapiro, thesse days a proud Dutch citizen, starts us off with Planet Nederland, a look at the Dutch in their natural habitat:



Then it’s off to a double bill buy British comedian John Fealey, first explaining Queensday:



Then the Dutch version of Disneyland, Albert Heijn:



Finally, Philip Walkate has the Inburgeringscurse (part 2, 3), a sneak preview at the thorough education you’ll get if you decide to become a Dutch citizen. This may actually be completely incomprehensible if you’re not Dutch, but that shall me the sausage be, as we say here.
