Sometimes in life you're just going about your life, the daily grind if you will. And then... something extraordinary happens. This weekend that happened to Shaun, he was making eggs and a double yolk came out, neat he thought. Then another one came out, another double yolk. Strange? Well Imagine this... 7 out of the 8 eggs were double yolks. Statistically, its impossible, so needless to say Shaun...

Join Shaun as he deliberates over lunch - could he really give up sandwiches for £10k? No more salt beef beigels. Ever. No more tuna crunch - and technically no more burgers or sausage wraps.

There's some fairly strong language in this po...

They say that week 2 of a daily podcast is when fatigue truly sets in. Decision-making becomes impaired, and things can go seriously wrong. Add to this the additional factor that it's also half term, and there's no telling how low Shaun could fall.
