Finally it stopped raining whilst the show was on air! No guest tonight so the aim was to play mostly music I have never played before. We also had some interesting news stories. Apparently there is an ostrich running amock near Tunbridge Wells. Some researchers at M.I.T. have been looking on the internet, Twitter and facebook to see signs of Time travellers sending information that could not be known. For example, they looked for tweets about Pope Frances before March 2013. Sadly for them they found no evidence. Anyone Watch the Big Bang Theory?  Princess Michael apparently thought about buying a karaoke machine for her Kensington Place apartment after attending a wedding in Malaysia. Researchers found that those who attended religious services regularly were less stressed and consequently more effective at work. The story of a squirrel causing £7000 worth of damage in a home led to discussions in the chatroom about the Tufty Club.
