Things we talked about today…
It’s the day after the Micklegate Run Soapbox Challenge and we are re-living the highlights in the studio including the Joker Award and of course, the 1st place Fastest Kart! The Joker award went to York Maze as Corny the Chainsaw wielding clown and Grandma with her water pistol and silly spray made sure the crowd and the presenters were soaked! The 1st place kart with a unbelievable time of 31.86 seconds was York Digital Image – Congrats to everyone involved!
It has been revealed that optimists live longer! If you have a sunny disposition you are 70% more likely to live past 85. So Laura and DG challenge the whole of North Yorkshire to have a go at being positive today, lets all live longer!
Turns out getting married at the same time as your sibling can save you around £5k in costs! Think about it, the guests are the same, only one meal to pay for, one venue for 2 couples… Laura was almost sold on this idea until we had a call in from Lainie who actually had a double wedding with her sister and it ended in disaster! There was a fight and the church bell ringing was played from a tape – safe to say the marriage didn’t last long so Laura is gone off the idea.
