R: Any Particular Reason for the name of C.F.E.??

Now let’s move on, and it seems Apple has finally made a bid to buy out their biggest competitor Microsoft, and it has worked. As the world waits a deal is being struck right now as Steve Jobs, CEO of Apple and Bill Gates founder of Microsoft meet today.
*cue*
As we all know, the government has recently unleashed plans to cut university funding, students have been in uproar and protests are on the ascendency. More and more protests are getting uglier, emphasised by a group of school girls having to surround a police van to stop violent students demolishing it. Protesting like this is not the way for our voices to be heard. Futhermore, C.F.E. is also apparently writing a song to coincide with this growing intensity in the education debate. However, because of the violence of some of these demonstrations, police have now decided to patrol most universities.
*Cue*
Now for our final story of the day, a fully grown cow apperantly attempted to eat a man’s head. We head down to the country to hear more about this remarkable story.
R: So, try and describe exactly what you saw to the listeners.
F: Well I was just stood there watching the herd when a group of teenagers came wandering in trying to tip my cows when one of them got straight back up opened its mouth wide and his head just went. I ran straight over, head was clean off. We had to put ‘ol bessy down. At least he wont be tipping no cows for a while thats for sure.
R: Yes as we all know cow tipping is wrong, back to the studio.
*Cue*
D: Yes there is indeed a moral to this story, well said. Now I’m sorry to say that’s all we have time for this morning, for more news check our website, tune in to our podcasts or be patient and wait another hour for the latest news. This is..... On In the Morning for Radio NW, signing out and wishing you a shiny day.
