It's three minutes past 12.

The promise that I issue to you is that by 1 o'clock today, you will know more and you do now.

LBC 97.3 Mystery Hour with James O'Brien.

Four minutes after 12, this is LBC 97.3.

This is also, in many ways, usually my favourite part of the week. I do hope you enjoy it too. We call it Mystery Hour, which is not completely explanatory. It doesn't really do what it says on the tin, because it's rather more fun than that. The way it works is thus, you probably have filed away somewhere in your consciousness a

little nugget, a question that could be loosely described as a mystery.

By mystery I mean, something to which you know there absolutely must be an answer, but

you haven't for the life if you've been able to find it yourself.

If you have a question that fits into that category, call me with it now.

0845-6060973 is the number to call.

If you're not quite sure that your question works, give it 10 minutes, listen to some of the other questions that people pose,

and then you can decide whether or not the one you've got fits neatly into the ongoing process of seeking answers.

0845606093.

I will only say the number when I have a phone line free.

So I've got a phone line free at the moment, which is why I just said the number.

It gets incredibly busy this hour, but I do my level best to increase your chances of getting through.

So we're looking for who's, wise, what's, where's, whens,

and if you're feeling a little bit old English,

we're even looking for wherefores, withers and wenses.

If you hear somebody else ask a question to which you know the answer,

then you have to ring in with it.

Otherwise your radio will melt.
