0:00.0	Okay, folks, you are listening to the latest chat, to the latest edition, the latest exciting adventures from life on a very hot planet Porky.
0:33.8	But it's hot on Earth as well, Miss Jones. A very good morning to you.
0:40.0	And you seem to be a bit shocked when I suggested that one way to alleviate this terrible heat is to, I said to you, I'll
0:46.7	shoot off to Buenos Aires. I was quite surprised at your lack of geographical knowledge when you
0:52.1	came back to me and said, isn't Buenos Aires as hot as where
