James became the groom’s cousin
Private investigator James returned with a surveillance job that required considerably more social improvisation than sitting in a car.
His client suspected a partner might cheat while attending a wedding she could not go to.
James therefore needed to get inside the reception.
He invented a cover story that he was related to the groom.
The problem arrived almost immediately when a woman introduced herself as the groom’s actual cousin.
James corrected course, pretended he had meant a different branch of the family and relied on loud music, alcohol and general wedding confusion to carry him through.
The bluff worked.
He ate from the buffet, appeared in some of the wedding photographs and continued watching his target.
The bridesmaid provided the evidence
Later, the target went outside for a cigarette.
A bridesmaid joined him.
The two began kissing.
James described it as a proper, full-on encounter against the wall and photographed enough evidence for the client.
Once the job was complete, she told him he could either leave or stay and enjoy the party.
For somebody who had entered pretending to be family, James had become remarkably integrated into the wedding.
Assembly Bangers returned everybody to school
The programme then asked listeners for the songs and hymns that defined school assemblies.
“Kookaburra Sits in the Old Gum Tree”, “Shine Jesus Shine”, “Autumn Leaves”, “Cross Over the Road My Friend” and “He’s Got the Whole World in His Hands” were among the memories.
Scott and Chris treated them like nostalgic dance-floor classics and began wondering whether modern producers should remix them.
The strange thing was how many people who had forgotten large sections of school could still remember every word of an assembly song.
