The #MasterOfMirth has popped into a church pew to wax lyrical – literally – on the subjects of ear wax and misheard lyrics! If you’ve ever confused well known song lyrics, tunes, or simply been a little hard of hearing, you’ll empathize for sure! Oh, and stick around after the podcast for a bit of a Bernard bonus!

The #MasterOfMirth is house-sitting on the promise of some decent TV and a quiet day awaiting a couple of parcel deliveries. He soon discovers that all is not what it seems, and certainly not as advertised!

The #MasterOfMirth is far from happy with the community obstacle course created by an influx of vans and van drivers. He’s also had a harrowing experience MC’ing a charity gig and giving some driving lessons. Variety is the spice of life…

The #MasterOfMirth is in the post office queue…again. He’s there to pick up a parcel, an endeavor fraught with problems, and aside from the lack of parking he’s none too chuffed with his fellow queue dwellers. If you’ve ever missed a parcel delivery, you’ll feel Ben’s pain…

The #MasterOfMirth is a little disgruntled, waiting for his car to be repaired. With nothing better to do than watch the muted TV screen in the corner, or read an out of date magazine, he airs his views on motoring and British roads…oh and banks too!
