Speaker 1 (00:01):
The Sure Report on ninety six air FM. This one
really hits hard. British actress Prunella Scales has died after
a decade long battle with dementia that ended her sixty
seven year acting career. It goes without saying. Scales was
best known for playing Sybil Faulty on Faulty Towers, Basil,

(00:26):
What's going on? I was in the bathroom, she was there,
so I just popped in. Have a look at these hinges?
Do you really imagine, even in your world dreams, that
I gonna like this could possibly be interested in an
aging brilliantine stick in sect light You many more than
one generation of men are glad that they, you know,

(00:48):
never were married to Sybil. Prunella also portrayed Queen Elizabeth
in the British film A Question of Attribution, as well
as appearing in a one woman show called An Evening
with Queen Victoria. She was married to the actor Timothy West,
who died last year. Between twenty fourteen and twenty nineteen,
they filmed a series together called Great Canal Journeys. It

(01:09):
was about their love of narrow boating. How very English is,
Oh very English? Prunella Scales, we Love You was ninety three.
We're going to miss your sybyl Doctor Fraser Crane. Kelsey
GRAMDMA is a dad again for the eighth time. His
firstborn daughter with his first of four wives, is forty

(01:29):
one now at the age of seventy years young Kelsey
that is, his latest wife, has given birth to a
son named Christopher. I'm listening. You're going to need to
remember yesterday I said the stray Cats had to cancel
the first two shows of the US tour because frontman
Brian Sets is unwell. Well an update to that, they've
canceled the whole tour now. Brian is battling an autoimmune

(01:51):
disease that's making it virtually impossible for him to play guitar.
And that's what he's famous. That's the whole stray Cat
sound is Brian's guitar. Speaking of updates, the controversy over
the Bomb's wildly unpopular new website has reached the Big
House see It's not just me the wholes of Parliament.
The Federal government has ordered the Bureau of Meteorology to

(02:14):
change its new website following the refresh that sparked an
Australia wide backlash. From users, including from this very radio studio,
because it is completely unworkable. We may not agree with
everything the government says or does before, we're behind them
on this one absolutely. Environment Minister Murray Wattters hauled Acting
Chief Executive Peterstone in for a discussion about the site,

(02:35):
he says is not meeting any users expectations. Nationals leader
David little Proud is calling for a review after locals
in his Queensland electorate struggle to find information they needed
after a recent reign event, and Energy Minister Chris Bowen
says the bomb lost community confidence with its new website.
He says, I've seen the reports. The Bureau clearly has

(02:56):
work to do, so we're standing by with baited breath
this ad over. Would it be suffice to say that
the bomb has bombed one? I'd love to be a
fly on the wall in that meeting today with the
Minister
