Back in 2010, Youtuber max1morgan2 filmed door to door Advantage Wonder Cleaner salesman Kenny Brooks in full wisecracking, rapid-fire pitch mode.
The video went viral at the time. His hilarious monologue was even transcribed for posterity. A guest spot on Ellen seemed assured, but Kenny disappeared, prompting all manner of conspiracy theories including (subsequently disproved) rumours of his death.
To this day, no one seems to know what happened to him.

What is he saying, anyone?

Shelf stacking graduate Cait Reilly
“The High Court has ruled emergency laws underpinning a government back-to-work scheme are “incompatible” with the European Convention on Human Rights.
The ruling stems from a case brought by Cait Reilly in 2012, who said being forced to work for free at a Poundland store breached her human rights.
The 24-year old graduate challenged the legality of an unpaid work placement she undertook in 2011, part of the government’s “mandatory work activity” programme.
She said that she was told that if she did not agree to take part in the scheme, which she said involved stacking shelves, she would lose her Jobseeker’s Allowance. The government brought in new rules in 2013 allowing unpaid work schemes to continue pending further legal appeals.”
Over to you Ms Burton.

As it’s Independence Day, RGDATA, the voice of over 4,000 independently owned Irish shops, convenience stores and supermarkets, is encouraging people to shop local and support independent retailers today. €1 spent in a Irish owned and family operated grocery store generates three times more for the local economy than if spent in a large global multiple….”

“I know you don’t normally do this but my brand new bike (above) was stolen out of my garden in Rathmines [Dublin]. I’m an artist who had just started paying for it in instalments. It was taken at 6pm last Monday. It has BMX pedals, it’s USB chargeable, back mud guards and it’s a unique giant Revolt 1 model which are rare in Ireland because it’s a new model. Reward offered. Thank you.”

The comrades have called upon Joan,
To rise up and sit on the throne,
She’ll have a quick scuffle,
Over the reshuffle,
And then she can reap what she’s sown.
