    If you could be a ‘professional expert’ in something…what would it be? This was one of the week’s hot topics for the Dark Lord as he invited listeners to FOOL SCHOOL. He also pondered on what might be the most useful bathroom item for building a home with…forget straw, wood and bricks, there was homes built out of plaque, cork and SPAM on The Best Time of the Day Show in HOME &LAV-STYLE! Alex also handed over the keys to the Royal Mint of Nocturnia and offered the listeners the opportunity to create their own currency in THE EXCHANGE RANGE, asking whether one unit of their legal tender would be worth a bar of gold…or a bar of soap!

    Some of life’s most pressing questions, including “Does vinegar sting the chip when it’s applied?” were dealt with this week by the Dark Lord in VEGGIES VOICES. Vegetables were also one of the things listed when Alex offered to create the ‘Garden of Your Dreams’ containing anything and everything your heart desires in BACKYARD BIGTOP. Finally Alex vents about those household objects that seems to have one goal…to make your life a misery in INANIMATE…AND OUT TO AGGRAVATE. (We know what they’re up to…and now THEY know that we know!) So, unless one of your riding boots has ‘suspiciously’ gone missing, Come Ride The Night Horse!
