Joining Mario for the Sunday Roast panel this morning was entertainment journalist  Melanie Finn and mentalist/magician Keith Barry. 

On the table for discussion this morning was the topic of being moody which apparently is actually a good thing! Research by University College London, found that those who have quick changing mood swings are much better at adapting to change in life, and therefore better at surviving.

So much emphasis on positive thinking but is that really realistic?

Keith is a huge forager and fisherman, he tries to catch and collect as much of the food for his family as possible. And at home he generally has at least 25 edibles growing at any one time Unfortunately when he’s fishing he catches more plastic with his rod than fish. The seas and rivers are ruined with it and the majority of it is utterly superfluous. Keith says we are in a climate emergency and over-use of plastic needs to be dealt with by growing and catching our own food we could be teaching our kids about nature and food provenance, reducing food miles and plastic packaging, and becoming more mindful humans as a result.

Huge week for Jose – and for Mario, as he is synonymous with Jose! Jose was a breath of fresh air when he arrived on the scene, he had the midas touch, an answer for everything, but then it all turned nasty. Mario thinks he turned very cynical and people felt that he started to have a negative influence on the game. For the last four years he has been viewed in a very negative light But this week as he takes on his new role, the world has gone nuts for him again – its like a big movie star is back in action
