LBC 97.3 Mystery Hour with James O'Brien.

Three minutes after 12. We came up with a new motto in the last hour without realizing it.

The general motto of this program is if you build

it, they will come. But as someone's just pointed out on Twitter, there's something else that

they are allowed. And someone else rings in with the answer. It's actually that simple.

0845-6060673 is the number to call. The notion that any question would be too silly for inclusion should not even occur to you.

The management's decision is final, and generally the only things we're opposed to are repetition and dullness.

I do, I remember it well.

And it reminded me of something that my Australian friend said to me
