JOE’S FACT OF THE DAY
SWEEPER
Duck Billed Platypus
Many people think cuddling this adorable cross between a duck and an otter would be fun.
Definitely much better than cuddling an animal that could give you a bad sting.
However, the male duck-billed platypus has poison glands in its hind legs and can release the venom using a hollow spur on its heel.
While generally not deadly, the pain is said to be incredibly intense and causes a large amount of swelling.

On Thursday night, ITV unveiled the new eye logo for Big Brother 2026, and it’s getting reality TV fans excited.
At first glance, the eye looks just like any of the previous logos, and a bit dull like it has been for the past few years, but when you look at it closely, it is a collage of eyes.
This year, it is being extended to 8 weeks, possibly because they are saving on the budget by not having a celebrity version this year. That’s still not the same as it was back at the beginning, when it lasted for 3 months, and you could watch it 24/7.
There is still a little bit of a wait, as it does not begin until 28th.

The Animals
Don’t Let Me Be Misunderstood
Released in 1965, it rapidly climbed the charts, reaching No 1.

JOE’S HISTORY

When do you think the acronym OMG was first used, to mean Oh My God?
We all like to think that our generation comes up with these things, and I remember using OMG when I was first online in 1992.
It actually dates back to a letter written to Churchill over 100 years ago, in 1917, while he was serving as first lord of the admiralty in the British navy.
The letter was written by John Arbuthnot Fisher, who, as first sea lord (the navy’s highest ranking officer), often quarreled with Churchill.
In the 1917 , Fisher wrote, “I hear that a new order of Knighthood is on the tapis [table] — O.M.G. (Oh! My God!) — Shower it on the Admiralty!”

WILD FIRES

Wild Fires
With the continued hot weather, we all realise that we need to be careful, especially as we see more wildfires around the country.
On Wednesday, crews from Glastonbury fire station were mobilised, as part of the National Resilience Response,. to support crews in Southampton and the New Forest.
It was a long day for them, as they left Glastonbury at 5.15am, and didn’t return until 11.30pm. Unfortunately, just 10 minutes later, the crew were mobilised again, though not to a wildfire.
On behalf of everybody at GWS Radio, we would like to thank all of our local fire fighters. Not just for what is happening recently, but for the dangerous work you do for us all.
From 7pm last night, many people received an emergency alert and many, including both of us, received it more than once.
The advice from this alert was:
- Do not light fires, or open flames, in the countryside or other open spaces, including parks, moorland and wooded areas.
- Never leave a household barbecue unattended and ensure it is fully extinguished after use.
- Dispose of smoking materials carefully and never throw cigarette ends from vehicles.
- Take litter home, particularly glass bottles which can intensify sunlight and increase fire risk.
- Call 999 immediately if they see signs of a fire.
Frankie Valli & The Four Seasons
December, 1963 (Oh, What a Night)
Released in 1975, it reached No 1 on the UK Singles Chart
This song is notable for being one of the few Four Seasons hits to top the UK charts
Marking a significant achievement in their career
