Sandi Toksvig Sacked From Weasel Folk Band

The world famous daytime TV personality Sandi Toksvig has been sacked from her role playing her ‘Gluttenpeepe’ (a kind of annoying Danish pipe) in weasel folk band The Weatles. The news emerged last night after Brian, the band’s lead singer, gave a short interview to waiting reporters outside his weasel hole in Hampshire.

“We realised, when we were rehearsing recently, that Sandi took up too much space in recording studio.” The Weatles have been recording their latest album entitled Stuck In The Farmer’s Snare in a hole in an old tree.

“She’s always taken up a great deal of space, but when Bubbles was pushed out of the studio by Sandi’s massive bum, we knew things had to change.”

Bubbles, who is the band’s bass player, reportedly sprained one of his front legs in the alleged incident involving the Danish TV star. He uses his front leg to strum tunes such as I fell In Love With A Stoat (Why Oh Why?) as well as top 10 hits like Stealing A Sparrow’s Egg and lesser known songs like I’m A Wriggly Bastard.

Sandi has been linked with other weasel related accidents and is reportedly under surveillance by the RSPCA. She has been in 3 weasel folk bands in as many years, with commentators suggesting she’s been seducing individual members of each band in order to play her Gluttenpeepe to large, overawed audiences.

“She ticks all the boxes for a young weasel,” according to Gary, a small weasel from Basingstoke, and Weatles fan, “it’s no wonder she’s bedded half the weasels in the weasel folk band industry.”
