A new national day?
Chris attempts to add a new national day to our calendar and Welsh wonder Jacob Bruce gets a fanfare for reciting the poem Yr en d? gwag.
Chris gives a fanfare to well-spoken Welsh star Jacob Bruce who gets 10 out of 10 for brilliantly reciting the poem 'Yr en d? gwag'...
We have a lesson in looking dapper, with our not-so-mystery guest, who tidies things up on the topic of bow-ties; he is the head of Peckham Rye, that's cockney rhyming slang for a tie, David Walker...
Next, we take a detour to the Top Tenuous and your desperate claims to the fame of Go-Karting in, or very near, Berlin...
And keeping on the theme of driving...that leads us on to our attempt at a new National Day!
Today's show is dedicated to anyone who likes to glamorise where they live... like Gosport to Gos-Vegas...
And today's show is entitled: you are what you are and you'll do what you do!

Pause for Thought
From Reverend Rob Gillion, Rector of Holy Trinity Church and St Saviours:
听
You've heard the expression 听'Singing off the same song sheet'. Well yesterday I was invited to speak to a very large audience who gathered at Thursford in Norfolk to stage a 'Songs of Praise' event obviously based on the very popular 91热爆 programme which has been running for over 50 years.
听
Music, especially community singing has always been popular in both hardship and celebration. People still sing the songs from the First World War, (like 鈥榩ack up your troubles鈥�) and no doubt in this anniversary year they will be even more popular.
听
Some football fans were singing their team to victory, over the weekend others were singing in sorrow!
听
My mate Gary who is Chaplain of Fulham Football Club, which is languishing at the bottom of the table, has decided 听to lift their spirits by 听reminding 听them of the semi-final of the 2010 Europa Cup. Fulham were 1-0 down to Hamburg and as Hamburg scored the stadium went silent, until one lone voice began to sing. 'Stand up if you still believe' and the Fulham crowd joined in until it reached a crescendo which lifted their team who - yes went on to win 2-1.
听
Our Songs of Praise was a kind of Sport Relief event as we exercised our hearts and lungs in aid of a water charity building new wells in places of drought. 听听That'll give those communities something to sing about!
听
In the Bible there are so many songs, from those in exile yearning to return home, to the Songs of Solomon all about romantic love; from the songs of the suffering servant in Isaiah echoing Jesus' mission, to the Psalms which are 听songs of praise to God.
听
Tonight Christians 听remember the message of the angel who announced the birth of Jesus to Mary his mother and when she heard it she broke out into song! 听For would you believe it, it will be Christmas Eve in exactly nine months time!! So how about practising some carols!!!
