Being an adult sucks.

Adults, they have to work all day.

When adults get male, it's always bills and bills suck.

Sure, but we've got a driver's license.

Four minutes after 12 is a time. I think we just became a footnote in the history books.

Admittedly, not necessarily history books you'd want to read, but I can't remember listening to a radio broadcast before in which a Labour politician was accosted by another Labour politician in the middle of an interview. If you want to hear that bizarre encounter with Ken Livingston, which was curtailed by the intervention of, we now know thanks to Michael Crick, John Mann MP, then head over to lbc.co.com.

We, however, will continue with normal service.

With one caveat, if John Mann becomes available for interview, then I will reserve the right to insert him into the middle of Mystery Hour, which means it's time to kick off Mystery Hour.

You know what to do now.

Pick up the phone and dial O345-6060973. If you have a question to which you have thus far been utterly unable to find a satisfactory answer, don't be boring and don't be repetitious. Those are the only rules. We will be the judge of dullness. Caroline and Victoria piloting. And he said manning and then thought that would be inappropriate on gender terms.

Piloting the phones? Manning the phones. Sue me. Manning the phones. And their decision is fine. And if it's

boring, it's not getting on. And if it's something we can remember dealing with in a relatively

recent environment, then that's not getting on either. Otherwise, anything goes. The who, the why, the

where, the what, the when, the whither, the wherefore, and even the occasional whence. Why do we do that, James? What, what's the origin of this? Do X have Y? Do X do Y? Why do X do Y? What, why, where, where, when, whither, where, whence? Anything you like? And once you've asked the question, someone hopefully will answer it,

because I can make two guarantees at 12 noon on Thursdays every week that we spend together.

I can guarantee that you'll know more by 1 o'clock than you do now, and I can ordinarily guarantee

at least one belly laugh. I've never let you down yet, but I recognise that one day I probably

will. I hope it's not today. So you will laugh out loud and you will know more than you do now, between now and 1 o'clock. I'll remind you of the number when I've got phone lines free. We have to deal with a little bit of culling, I'm afraid, at the top of the hour now, because it has proved so popular, an awful lot of people who've discovered it relatively recently, ringing in with some of the hardy perennial, some of the questions that we've dealt with in the past.
