Fevzi & Nick From the UK Show

In this week’s jam-packed show, the man who shot his own son: what does this say about guns in society; how do we mete out justice to criminals, and do prisons really work? We discuss Megan Stammers, the UK schoolgirl who absconded with the teacher twice her age – and evidence that this represents the tip of an iceberg of incompetence in public services. Then, the Fox Network’s inadvertent screening of a live suicide after a car chase – and when is it right to show real violence on TV? Plus, a brief diversion to beautiful Sedona (just outside drab Phoenix, AZ), The Onion’s satirical spoof which fooled Iran, dinners for lawyers, Andy Williams and Herbert Lom, and Apple’s reputation takes another hit.

In this week’s show, it’s a showdown between religion and freedom of speech as protests in seven countries in the Middle East at a US low budget film causing offence to Muslims leads to murder. Juxtaposed neatly with reaction to a real-life princess and her clothing malfunctions as Kate, Duchess of Cambridge sets pulses racing in men – and lawyers – by going topless. Plus, learning Latin, ancient Greek tortures, and a lady on stilts.

In this week’s show: working shifts and why it sucks; Clint Eastwood and Squatting revisited (thanks to our listeners!), Fevzi’s automotive brush with a criminal, and “broken windows” and zero-tolerance. Then, should administrations allow positive discrimination to increase the number of women in positions of power, why a British judge thinks burglars are brave, and farewell to Neil Armstrong (but not Lance Armstrong).

In this week’s show, no justice for Rachel Corrie, the protestor killed by a bulldozer in Israel; the Mitt and Clint Show; we discuss press bias, the power of the internet to give flight to lies and a pat on the back for the BBC; and why occupying other people’s homes just got a lot tougher here in the UK. Plus, gluing them all together are ice cream, dentists, Muppets and buns.

On this week’s show with Fevzi and Nick: How to sneak out of an Embassy – and whether they afford genuine protection for those prepared to gamble with their political currency; the overly harshly judged opinion on rape of firebrand UK MP George Galloway, and the rightly harshly judged opinion on rape of ludicrous Republican Congressman Todd Akin; Romney plays the Birther card, Nick defends Lance Armstrong – badly, Fevzi lambasts the conviction of Anders Breivik and we all laugh at Prince Harry.

On today’s show with Fevzi and Nick… what it’s like to work in the dark, why Baseball is a girls’ sport (we’re ready for your complaints!), why walnuts are good for your sperm count, why Julian Assange is making Britain look dumb, what DARPA has invented, what it’s like to be gay in Uganda, why our Olympics Closing ceremony was useless… and a sprinkling of David Bowie. If that’s not enough for you in one hour, you might as well just watch Letterman!

In this week’s show, Olympic winners, Olympic cheating, Olympic no-hopers and the Porn Olympics. Then there’s Google’s record-breaking fine and data security in the Cloud. We moan about Apple (again) and learn how to send personalised emails. A quick detour to the Church of England and its investment decisions, and then it’s off to Vietnam where the US is finally making reparations for Agent Orange. Finally, why stressed men like larger women.

In this week’s show, Fevzi and Nick are bursting with British pride, so we devote much of the programme to the Olympics; including: does it take money to win, should the US medal rewards be taxed, is there a technology war in sport, will future athletes be genetically modified, and why did the Queen look so bloody miserable. Plus, does success rely on privilege, class and connections, and how friendships have changed with Facebook.

On this week’s show, despite all their curmudgeonliness, Fevzi and Nick are genuinely excited about the Olympics coming to London – whereas Presidential candidate Mitt Romney clearly isn’t. We look at goofs and bloopers in films and there’s the continuing story of the strange 70s growth additive ‘Malt’. We look at legal insurance (good) and product warranties (bad), and take another gentle swipe at naughty Apple and Google before winding down with an enjoyable and highly justified rant at call centres.

In this week’s packed miscellany: is it better to run or sprint in the rain?, why we’re useless at judging risk – and how government uses our lack of judgement to encourage gambling. Then there’s Madonna’s boobies, techno-B00B1E5 and how nudism can be worse than terrorism. We both have a rant about the Olympics (again) and discover what Zil lanes really are. After that; should we discipline our children (answer: only if we can get them out of bed…), the Colorado movie theater shooting, and restorative justice against Apple.

Nick resolutely refuse to get excited about the London Olympics as the government is engulfed in new security management scandals. After an interesting debate in Germany, we discuss the rights and wrongs of circumcision. And then: life, the universe and everything: are we just simulations in a computer programme, or indeed projections of something happening on the other side of the universe. And if we are, who is pulling the strings, and why are we let loose on the radio?

In this week’s show from Fevzi and Nick, we ask whether there’s any good reason to trust our banks after yet another bumpy week for Barclays. Then, healthcare reform in the US and why we have such a different attitude to healthcare here in Europe . Plus: controversy! Fevzi and Nick disagree with each other on automated supermarket checkouts and disagree even more on a beauty pageant for holocaust survivors.

In this week’s show, Fevzi and Nick almost completely forget to cover the news (apart from the touching tale of bus monitor Karen Klein). Instead, a daydream on our favourite old technology, why bus drivers in London make us mad, why people going on strike make us mad, why psychic hokum makes us mad, why misrepresentation in advertising makes us mad, and other things that make two blokes from London, well, mad. Oh, and shopping for underwear. Confused? Listen in and find out more. Then email us at tro@gadgetdetective.com and tell us what you think.

In this week’s miscellany: smells and tastes, French ex-President Sarkozy faces prosecution, a look at the Falkland Islands, we get miserable about transport in London ahead of the Olympic Games, we get nostalgic for the BBC Micro computer, a salute to Alan Turing and a ding-dong of an argument about gay marriage.

On this week’s show with Fevzi and Nick, we look at the increasingly fractious situation in Syria , and wonder why Russia and China are resolutely on the sidelines. We ask why Israel ruins its own moral standing as a long-standing hunger-striker nears death. And what’s the Flame virus all about- is cyberspace the new battleground between nations? Oh, and a good old moan about Facebook.
