Doctor's Orders

My doctor thinks that blogging is the cause of my brain whistling and has told me to lay off for a while.
If you're stuck for idle amusement in the meantime, could I recommend these comedy shows from BBC Radio Four?

Click on each link and then click on Listen to The Latest Edition.

Each episode is only available for a week after its first airing and I think all these shows are coming to the end of their runs, so be quick.



Laura Solon New comedian with a range of voices and wacky characters.
I like the irascible old German lady in a care home.


Down The Line Spoof phone-in programme.
Sometimes very funny, but what is point?
Laughing at different accents,what is point?


Recorded for Training Purposes Comedy featuring the automatic voices that we hear all the time these days.

Warning: Comedy programmes can be unfunny as well as funny.

Hang on to your Pen Tops

Hang on to your pen tops - that's my motto. That's what I always say. You never know when you might need them.

I find that shouting at my pen tops helps relieve all my pen top anger.

Two Cans Short of a Pyramid

Great News! I've got a new hobby and it's called Collecting Tin Cans.
I've got thirteen so far and only need two more to complete a human pyramid.

When finished it will be the world's first human pyramid made entirely of tin cans.
If it's sucessful, then the potential labour-saving costs to the circus and acrobatic industry could be enormous.

You'll notice that the labels have all been removed. I've very particular about avoiding product placement.

I think it's important that people can trust this site to give frank and honest opinions, unsullied by commercial sponsorship deals.

I've accepted no payments from Heinz,for example, who do a nice can of vegetable soup for 65p (on offer at the moment at two for £1:18p)
