Three minutes after 12 is the time and you are listening to James O'Brien on LBC.

The mystery hour is upon us.

I did it dress as far the Christmas last year.

Do you remember?

That won't be happening again.

Or was it the year before?

I must have been mad.

Who the hell's idea was that?

But if you want to bring a Christmasy theme to it, you can.

I would caution you, though, that the most obvious Christmas questions have it, you can. I would caution you though that the most obvious Christmas

questions have probably already been answered. You can check over at the archive, LBC.co.uk. If you've

no idea what I'm talking about, then you should know only this. This is the only hour of radio

anywhere in the world that comes with two cast iron money back guarantees. You will know more by one o'clock today than you do now.

You just will. May not be knowledge you're grateful for, but you'll have more of it. You may not

hang on to it for long, but you will have more of it. And I think you'll laugh out loud. That is a

cast iron guarantee as well. I've never had to issue any refunds. You should have at least one laugh

out loud moment between now and one o'clock.

The way it works is thus. You ring me with a question. Someone else rings in with the answer.

It can't be boring and it can't be repetitious. Boring, you can kind of police yourself. The

management's decision is final, seriously. If it's a question that you, on reflection, don't

really think anyone else is going to be interested in the answer to, it's probably boring.

It's quite difficult to define it. If it's to do with motoring, it almost certainly is boring, but not 100% certain.
