Three minutes after 12 is the time and heed the man when he says it's Mria, because it is.

If you don't know the phone number, I will remind you of it. I will only say the number when

there are phone lines are free. It's the busiest hour by some distance, even by our standards,

which are a little bit bonkers at the moment, but Mystery Hour really does go nuts.

The only thing I would remind you of is this. Between now and about,

it's four after 12. Between now and about 10 passed, a lot of people ring in who have to be

politely encouraged to ring out again. Because the questions are a little bit rubbish, or they're

repetitious, or they, just so, so don't be put off. There are phone lines free now, and there will be phone lines free again in about six minutes time.

But try and grab an early one if you think you've got a good question.

If you've no idea what I'm talking about, I'll stay there, I'll tell you.

This is the radio equivalent of one of those newspaper features where the reader's write in with a question.

Why do you do this? Where do we do that, why do you do this? Where do we

do that? Why do we do this? Where do we do that? And the answer comes weeks later, someone

will write in with the answer. What's the origin of that, James? Why do we do this? Why do we do that?

What's this? With the when, wherefore, any question, think of your own interrogative pronoun and then stick it in front of a question.

Whatever the question is, as long as it's not boring or repetitious, we'll do it.

And someone else then rings in with the answer.

It's that simple.

I don't know why I bother explaining it everywhere.

We should just suck it and see.

Two guarantees.

You will know more by 1 o'clock than you do now.
