0:00.0 | The promise that I issue to you is that by 1 o'clock today, you will know more and you do now. |
0:06.4 | LBC 97.3 Mystery Hour with James O'Brien. |
0:14.0 | Three minutes after 12, this is LBC 97.3. |
0:19.7 | And this is Mystery Hour, your weekly opportunity to get a question to, to get an answer, rather, to the questions that have got you befuddled, discombobulated, bothered. It works if you're new to this, a little like the newspaper columns where a reader will write in with a question, and some days, weeks, months later, another reader will write in with the answer. |
0:38.2 | For me, this is the definition of travelling hopefully. The journey is more important than the |
0:42.0 | destination. You will achieve enlightenment, not in a Buddhist sense, but you will learn something |
0:46.3 | in the next hour. That little bit of gibberish at the outset is genuine. It's impossible |
0:50.8 | to listen to an hour of this without knowing something at the end of it that you didn't know |
0:54.1 | before. Whether that knowledge is of the vag of it that you didn't know before. |
0:54.9 | Whether that knowledge is of the vaguest use to you in any way, shape or form is, I'm afraid, not guaranteed. |
1:01.5 | It could easily be all filed under useless information. |
1:06.9 | The point is, of course, that you get your answer today. |
1:10.4 | So you ring in, if you hear someone else ask a question, you get the opportunity to answer it. And the number remains the same. 0845-60609773 is the number to call if you want to join in. The only circumstances in which you won't be allowed to join in is if your question |
1:28.2 | is either repetitious, i.e. we've dealt with it recently and we can remember what the answer is, |
1:34.0 | or if it's dull, which oddly, given that we did spend the last hour talking about road-related |
1:38.4 | issues, it will almost certainly be a judge dull if it is linked to motoring or if the answer's |
1:43.9 | only going to be of interest to |
1:45.0 | you so so do you see what you you understand what i mean by that you there's this thing i saw |
1:49.9 | and i don't know what it is if if i think everyone else has seen it that'll work but if i don't |
1:54.3 | think anyone else has seen it then it won't and i will only say the number when i've got a phone |
1:58.4 | line free so i won't say it now because I haven't. Five after 12. |
2:01.0 | Don't forget Twitter. |
