0:00.0 | If I had to picture a moment of calmfulness, it would have to be at the beach. |
0:05.0 | On the edge of the sand, with the waves at my toes, what's yours? |
0:10.2 | Calm's herbal remedies. |
0:12.2 | Calm's days, a traditional herbal medicine used for stress, exclusively based on traditional use only, contains Valerian root. |
0:18.9 | Always read the label. |
0:21.6 | This is LBC, from Global, leading Britain's conversation, mystery hour with James O'Brien. |
0:30.6 | Oh, there we are. Three minutes after 12. Leave politics in the fridge for a moment and immerse yourselves instead into a world of trivia |
0:39.6 | and illumination of facts and figures of erudition and education. It is your weekly opportunity |
0:49.8 | to achieve the sort of satisfaction, not ordinarily available anywhere else on your radio dial. |
0:53.9 | The way it works is that you ring in with a question, a question to which you know there must |
0:58.5 | be an answer, but you are damned if you can find it. And then someone else ideally rings in with |

1:42.7 | So, no, a man was not caught with 104 turtles down his trousers. It was 104 snakes. I've already answered that question. But you can probably hear that. You're probably listening to this about an hour, an hour behind where we currently are. A nice moment, though, to remind you that with Global Global Player you can rewind and pause live radio. |
2:03.4 | Shall we crack straight on? I don't think we need much. Oh, crak it's a prize. There's an amazing prize, a brilliant prize. |
2:10.2 | For my favourite contribution of the day, you can win a mystery hour board game. Absolutely beautiful bit of kit. |
