This isn't a "weird" story but it's an off-the-wall one: DJ with country's smallest audience given show by the BBC. This guy became interested in broadcasting listening to pirate stations in the 60s and in the 70s he and his friends set up his own in his garden shed. However, he didn't have a licence to broadcast, so he beamed his show into his own front room, where his wife - his only listener - listened to his show. He was profiled in 1974 by the BBC, who reported on his status as the DJ with the smallest audience and this profile was recently unearthed and republished online, which prompted local BBC stations to track him down and offer him his own one-hour show over Christmas to realise his dream of broadcasting to all of Stevenage.

Ridiculous event planned to protest Bunnings’ sausage sizzle change quote:A Facebook event for a protest in Sydney asks social media users to gather at a Bunnings store, throw some onion on the ground and all slip on it together. The headline they used on their news feed just gets straight to the point though

I mean, really: quote:Mr Duncan, who has since moved to Stockport, Greater Manchester, still broadcasts Radio 77 to "the smallest audience in the country" - his wife. Amazing. *5 seconds later* We regret to inform you that the Stevenage DJ votes BNP.

The robot that will save you a parking spot on Black Friday: MyPark app deploys automated place-holders in malls across the US https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-6407307/The-robot-save-parking-space-Black-Friday.html HOW DOES IT WORK? Download the MyPark app and make an account. Then, enter your destination and select a parking space from the map. Each spot costs a few dollars to reserve. After a spot is reserved and paid for, MyPark automatically deploys its robot device that will hold the space until you arrive. Once you get to your destination, tap 'Let me in' on the app and the robot collapses so that your car can drive over it. Users can book a spot for immediate use or up to six months in advance. (I foresee nothing bad at all happening to or because of these stupid little robots, especially during a Black Friday craze.....) cinni has a new favorite as of 23:33 on Nov 20, 2018 |

So uh...what's stopping me from picking the robot up and moving it a space over? And what if someone parks in your spot after payment and before deployment?

Wheat Loaf posted:This isn't a "weird" story but it's an off-the-wall one: A dark mirror to this sweet news: US metal rocker spends a lot of money buying tickets to his own UK tour. The short version of the story is Jered Threatin has his own metal band and went on tour in the UK, where the presale tickets are always sold out but the number of people who showed up can literally be counted on one hand. This happens at every venue he's playing, and it turns out he has been buying all the unsold tickets himself. Future gigs have all been cancelled and the band members he hired for the tour quit out of embarrassment. Also his brother who has his own band is pissed at Jered for ruining his reputation by association. cinni posted:The robot that will save you a parking spot on Black Friday: MyPark app deploys automated place-holders in malls across the US I remember someone pitching a parking space reservation app on Shark Tank and I think he did not get a deal because of the issues with its implementation. I guess the answer is robots?
