The Bugle, audio newspaper for a visual world.

Hello!

For the first and only time, this is edition 10 of The Bugle, for the week beginning

17th December 2007.

Welcome to the show I'm Andy Zoltzmann in London and in New York, there is Mr. John Oliver.

Welcome to this special Christmas Bugle, pour a glass of eggnog, take a sip of that glass

of eggnog, spit that eggnog onto the floor and then pour that glass of eggnog out the window.

So as always, some sections of the Bugle do go straight in the bin.

This week a supplement on the latest alternative therapy craze, voodoo surgery, which comes

with a free voodoo scalpel and tokens for a voodoo dialysis machine, but those who have

a relative far away who meets those with kidney treatments.

Also in the bin is the music section, including a feature on Led Zeppelin's successful reunion

gig.

So successful, although now rumours that they will have a reunion of the reunion.

So in today's Spangly Christmas Bugle, we lead off with some of the Christmas based

stories to make you feel Christmassy at this very Christmas time and quanza and Hanukkah.

Christmas to me, John, is like a self-assessment tax return, it comes around once a year with

the dread inevitability of a drunken car crashing into a bus stop.

You always leave it to the last minute, it's runestly expensive, but it's always slightly

more fun than you anticipate.

Well, Merry Christmas everyone, do you old scrooge?

It's that most wonderful time of the year.
