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

Oh gosh, I forgot as well. Four minutes after 12 hours of time, and so did you. I guess because the conversation we were having in the last hour was so serious and heavy duty, you forgot.

Because for the first time I can remember, in a long, long, long time, the switchboard still has two spaces on it,

at four minutes past 12 on a Thursday. Normally you start ringing in from about 10 to 12. Sometimes I allow myself to get a bit irritated

by the fact that you're taking up phone lines that could be used by people still keen to contribute to the conversation that we're having in the hope of getting in early on mystery hour so that is your call to arms there is still one phone line free what is mr. out well it's only your weekly opportunity to achieve the source of satisfaction, not ordinarily available anywhere else on your radio dial. And I'll give you another one, actually.

I will reintroduce the pledge that you will laugh out loud at least once between now and one o'clock.

If you don't, I'll give you a full refund on the ticket price. Okay?

The best contribution of the week, my favourite contribution of the week, will win a Mystery Hour board game.

Coming soon, hopefully, to a Christmas tree near you. If you are not lucky enough to win one, you can buy one.

Oh, well, wonders never cease. At mystery hour.com.com. Dot UK or in John Lewis and other shops,

I think Argos soon, if not, if not if it's not there already.

But it's a brilliant game.

Go and have a look at the Amazon reviews.

And as with all my stuff on Amazon, including my books,

do have a look at the one-star reviews as well.

Some people are confused about what gammon is

when we use it as a description of a certain mindset of people.

Some of the one-star reviews for my books and indeed for my board game on Amazon, you can

smell gammon as you read it. You actually get a whiff of gammon up your nose. Sometimes you'll

find yourself craving pineapple. So strong is the whiff of gammon as you read some of the ones, well,

all of the one-star reviews on my,

on my books and board game over on
