These are the rules Chris set out for this section of the forum, so that's the guideline I follow within these threads. If you have any problems with those rules, he's the man to see.

Chris is a lot nicer than he used to be, tho. Remember, at one time he'd have cut a caller off just for asking!

I think he realised that you were better value than the usual annoying caller - you were funny with it, and I think he enjoyed talking to you. Or having you talk at him, whichever!

Hi Aled. Not a question, but something to help you with any future 'Bedtime Stories at Breakfast' material here http://listverse.com/2009/01/06/9-grues ... e-origins/

I had to attend numerous lectures and write various essays on the origins of Fairytales as part of English Lit. which was actually really interesting. If you need to recap the story of 'Goldilocks and the Three Bears' tomorrow then you could go with one of two alternative versions mentioned on that site;

The original tale (which actually only dates to 1837) has two possible variations. In the first, the bears find Goldilocks and rip her apart and eat her. In the second, Goldilocks is actually an old hag who (like the sanitized version) jumps out of a window when the bears wake her up. The story ends by telling us that she either broke her neck in the fall, or was arrested for vagrancy and sent to the “House of Correction”.

A much more exciting ending than the usual boring old one I'm sure you'll agree.

Aled just to say I've found the show outstanding over these past weeks. Some links are hit and miss, but I don't think you could ask for much more from the amount of output per week and the improvised nature of many of the links.

Keep up the good work and have a nice weekend!




P.S...Though maybe celebrity raspberry should go? :P

Thanks Timp - for what it's worth, I agree :) Chris is on fire at the moment
