This is LBC from Global, leading Britain's conversation, Mystery Hour with James O'Brien.

It's three minutes after 12. You're listening to James O'Brien on LBC where Mystery Hour is once again upon us.

Your weekly opportunity to achieve the sort of satisfaction not ordinarily available anywhere else on your radio dial.

The way it works is very straightforward. If you're new to it, I'd like you to trust me for a moment when I tell you that you are in for a bit of a treat.

You will at least smile. In fact, I would go so far as to guarantee that you will laugh out loud at least once between now and one o'clock today.

And that's not all. You will also know more by one o'clock today than you do now.

It may not be knowledge that proves in any way useful to you or even knowledge that you can

And as if that weren't enough, my favourite contribution of the hour will receive a brand spanking

new mystery hour board game.

Well, when I say brand spanking new, I mean it's brand spanking new to you.

But it's the same mystery hour board game that has been a prize on this feature and a

treasured possession of many, many people for a few years now as before.

new travel format, of which more later.

If you want to find out more about the game, in its current form, mystery hour.com.com

UK is the place to go.

If you want to consult the full T's and Cs or terms and conditions for the competition that I run every Thursday, for which, of course, the prize is a mystery out ballgame, then you can go to LBC.co.uk.

Five minutes after 12 is the time. Hit the numbers now you will get through. So it's a question, a riddle, an enigma, anything that you are puzzled by or have been thinking of and found yourself fairly confident that there must be

an answer to that question but you're dashed if you can work out what it is so i'll ring ring in

and someone else will tell you that's the plan and of course you can work out the next bit if you hear
