But some sunny spells rather chilly with highs of 7 Celsius 45 degrees Fahrenheit that's your B.B.C. Radio News 4 minutes past Thank you Paul lovely stuff. Your life your story Ian on B.B.C. Radio. Yes hello good afternoon to you and happy lunchtime if you are talking in to something really really delicious please don't tell me about it I've got I'm not eating anything in the studio I got there about you know dying man we've got a whole show to do OK out coming up in this hour of the show we've got loads of fun actually I did a joke off with Lily Mitchell normally on afternoons we did our best hysteric shut it down and not crack a smile which was absolutely a challenge you know we're going to try our hand at Radio Sure Rod I've got some sort of odd news that. I probably should probably get straight over that music would you say for you know I mean I'm intrigued good stage. And you know on B.B.C. Radio. What would even brass you know this but Tim do you know what this is for I mean it sounds Christmassy Yeah that is sleigh ride which may or may not be my favorite Christmas song chain of all time some by the Barenaked Ladies as able to convert journey a journey to the ninety's but the reason I'm playing this is that my conviction is this lay right is so beautifully written that she and I think you can get away with just about anything and it still isn't listening and I'm we're listening to this right now and I've got 3 versions of Sleigh Ride for you to ensure sorry about that I'll try to spread them out a little bit just tell me if you think any of them are on bearable and to sort of make my case really strongly this is an absolutely incredible cultural relic from the to become one album or single I think it was from the Spice Girls check this out there are some festive acting as well fill so prepare to get prepared. Oh yeah I'm yeah yeah yeah I know this is our guy because I'm the focus is the long March box that has been going at because this is not you can do as you want Christmas as long as the good. Well that is it what you want the nation to do Well they sound like the Howard pond so I'm glad about that I agree with the Phil I think that perfectly illustrates some freewheeling Christmas joy right there from the Spice Girls I was very impressed of picking out the actual Spice Girls singing these time well you know what I would listen to the Spice Girls when we were younger but I wouldn't confident he could pick out all of their voices from a line up Mel said it's a process of elimination isn't it you just go with the ones which you can't be and then you know which one is confident it was possible for I think it was pushed by so I think that's the voice I let recognize the lease I take from that what you will when I say you got to tell us if you found that I'm bearable Basically I'd like I said I think the song the basic song is just so good everything it just works kind of whatever the context I got 2 more slightly odd ones to throw you away you just tell me if it's all too much at 13 double 3 is the tax number so your text message with the word Oxford or call me until 080-810-9100. Tweet us at B.B.C. Oxford another one of those coming up not too far away and I'll save the weirdest and strangest one till closer to 3 pm because I think we all need to be more or less asleep. And never feel you have something for me on wrapping before we hear another track Well I've I feel like I've slightly got myself into a bit of a pickle in the sense that I'm 28 years old now and I don't feel like I've got adequate wrapping skills and I'm a baby's coming along soon for me it's very exciting and yet I'm thinking I remember I'm having flashbacks to when our own mother would spend late nights on Christmas Eve wrapping a 1000000 presents We've got lots of brothers and a sister and so she had loads of presents and I think I just haven't developed the skill and I feel like I can ask he's going to teach me there's a certain say to increase my knowledge of wrapping skills evening classes you know I don't have a ties those and yet some it's an essential skill I'd say in this country you have to be able to wrap a present and I can't do it or say No idea if you've got a baby on the way congratulations you might find that not being a good tip is useful in later life because if your other half is really good at it then you know you can share in that sort of where you can handle something else while your partner handles the wrapping because my wife certainly is all over it I don't understand how she gets those clean and she Christmas wrapping injure yet she's incredible at it you know really fast I just seem to always have excessive paper and it's sort of I try and sort of man handle it into the right position and in the process. The thing that happened to me which Ian Gross is it's the folding and I always get a little peek of white and it would just look telltale signs of a somebody doesn't know what they're doing it ruins the illusion people can i want it kind of is an illusion isn't it always looks like something different when it's beautifully wrapped when it's right by me you can tell it's a scrunched up paper covered although having said that there's an advantage to that because it's much harder to tell what's in it because they want the shape of my wrapping you know it's a good disguise Well I managed to wrap something really really well in fact it was your present or not and I don't know if you go like this present but I. I was really pleased with how well I dropped it I done the thing where those perfect corners and all these lovely angles and no white bit showing and then I realized I didn't see any. Of it. Does not look very good I'm afraid I'm probably going to rip up they get to see as well in the process you should be very grateful that I got you anything it's a letter even if I hate the present it's a possibility I'll be very complimentary about the writing you can guarantee that I like OK let's have rewrite the stars from James Arthur and the ray and Emma back with more to. The one. Who was able to use. To see could. Have you. Yeah rewrite the stars James Arthur Anna Marie talking hey this is Lori Bailey on B.B.C.

From McGuinness. Taking place or instead buses are running from. Just. Heading into London on the road. There. Is not too much happening. Right now that would still be between the kings and the food having said that. And Whitney doesn't tend not to be a problem. Thank you very much Hannah with your trouble. $109.00 drivel one B.B.C.

I appreciate the trying but we're both going to try to help everyone else with our combined heads and some tips on surviving time in someone else's house but before we do any of that I feel it coming from the weekend of punk is coming and I took on Lily Mitchell In a joke off if you've been listening then you heard Fleur Jack and I flurry of Generation Y. On this station trying to figure out who was the true millennia we had some good Texan on that one actually someone said hash tag vintage millennial love it thank you great hash tag another ox with my 6 year old son got the program on theme song before Fleur does that make him alone he'll Square even though he's 6 years old while intriguing stuff if you missed it just go back and you see sound listen to the millennial quiz but definitely stay tuned limiter is a joke fiend I did my best to keep a straight face can pretend it was entirely successful but for now I feel it coming the weekend and Daft Punk stage.

It's a Christmas I mean I'm saying Christmas is not much Christmas and even Christmas pew my JOE Yeah why did the Pima get on well with other people I don't know you know maybe he had a really good sense of peace. And for the sake of this image sake of everyone else the failure siren. To find. I think. Well I don't know hopefully someone else can play their own failure I think this is LOW Yeah.

Now it's time this is Lori and Phil on B.B.C. Oxford for Christmas Eve nice cozy in a bit silly enjoying the show we're going to play another version of Sleigh Ride This is the thing that I've decided we're going to play a few versions of Sleigh Ride in this program because I think it is the perfect Christmas cheer and I think it's so good it's impossible to mess up but we had the Spice Girls a little while ago trying to myself and I think they got bored like place slash did Rick. It was a little acting moments in between I really saw that if you missed that I can't recommend it highly enough it's on the to become one I think album or single listen in sleigh ride it's pretty spectacular I'll go and hear from T.L.C. Phil they're going to play but let me ask you 1st what do you think is the king of Christmas songs or the queen I would say it's Chris Rhea with Dr Who I just tried to impress as I just love doing the voice yeah. That's pretty good let's hear your best crystal ball I just need to get into the zone. Home for good. Just Goodwood to see. And hear this I just that's what I do yeah I did Al but I do what else out there in New York City area like the Christie. White was bad enough to find myself doing the impression before he does it so yeah my wife has to deal with me doing that little sob but I just thought about 4 times before he starts again in a way you've spoilt it twice OK Yeah yeah well done fell we had a tasting as well thanks that's eating into the joke off between me and Lil So let's go live. To cracking up the last 5 jokes want to know which of them was his we're just going to have to listen back because we kind of did one after the other I think honestly I thought the lilies jugs were superior except for the peanut one top quality Yeah one of the best ones out there OK but let's hear T.L.C. Was sleigh ride you decide have they ruined it or have they you know done an all right job you can get in touch with us at any point on the show 8133 Start your message with the word good or you can call us at 109120 B.B.C. Oxford I don't know about this one it's trying to be a little bit too cold is this get U.P.A. T.L.C. Slow right here go to our Glory a serious but yet you get 66. Love and it comes. As a. Bit. Of a. Yeah sleigh ride that song by T.L.C. We're trying to figure out whether it's possible to a bad thing we figured out I think I think we've figured out through the last what is what that mean that's very obvious time isn't a come on that. Looked like that we were low notes they had Jingle Bells Batman smells in there as well can you believe that they're sort of sending out Christmas tunes while contributing to the great lexicon of Christmas musicality Very well said Phil it's impressive you gave me some credibility we had a nice message in from the cooler Phil Well taking you on for bringing it. The pope's fairy tale of New York has to be the best Christmas song Happy Christmas by well you know I do love I have only had it once so far this entire Christmas season I'm sorry to say we're not in play on this show but I want to rush isn't it and it's a lot it's not the most kid friendly Christmas music is it I think if you don't listen to the words it's pretty friendly you said OK you and I going to give a brief Guide to Surviving Christmas or the holiday season in someone else's house and then we're going to travel on our story part 2 coming out to. Introducing you know it's every Saturday night this is where you. Pick selection of Oxygen's greatest. Music it truly is the place where you can say that. On Saturday night from AIDS it's a very special program an annual celebration bringing together the best of the best for an hour packed with the local music the design 2018 in oxygen. Interesting you know since joining us for the best songs of the year were on the B.B.C. Sounds out science and always save the podcast places or join us Saturday night from 8 on B.B.C. Radio Oxford yeah lovely Make sure you do that Dave get out and that is always a fantastic show OK Now Phelps Let's talk briefly ahead of the travel about Surviving Christmas in a house that is not your own because I think there are a few things to consider I've got one to fire you straight away you don't know whether the toilet is in 2 rooms or not and the 2 in toilet is not particularly common in today's sort of housing scenario but once you're confronted with it it's a bit of a shocker because you could you could stumble into the wrong room looking for the one you need either end of the spectrum before or afterwards and what you don't need to in someone's bedroom Ah that's in there were ever saying I need to find a sink. So that's an area I would do a little scavenger hunt before the top that's my hot tip you know if it's a place an unfamiliar territory say I'd love to can you show me around the you're lovely rooms and things and show me all your lovely things yes marmalade and they're very polite as well OK if you go on I feel like the key thing is having strong. Very acceptable topics to talk about I think Christmas decorations are your guy investing Christmas decorations what I want you to day is spot something. Which get that from all that's interesting at the very least they can say oh no I go to some random place and then you can follow up with is there any Christmas decorations you do you have to have very very that sort of playing and that's nice and it gives them a chance to talk about why they've done it because if you see one you think really weird Don't go in with I'm going to try to explain it OK I've got one more and then we'll hit with the travel. How do you know where to go 1st of all I think you do you say I'll take the bill I'll go 1st and maybe charitable person will actually just get in isolated and personally still think that's a risky move OK we'll do a couple more this time now some travel. Radio. OK let's have Hannah trend. With the travel updates to southern road in Banbury something so. Yeah very busy I'm afraid coming into central Bambery that's on the south side from health. Cost around about pop and that's very quiet this Christmas Eve I was expecting it to be a lot worse this basin says aren't really showing any massive delays. And was stuck slightly busy on the northbound side between rectory lane and the King's Arms but nothing that's going to hold you up too much so checking on the rails Now Great Western Railway today there is no service between slow and Paddington so because of engineering works taking place the buses have been put on instead between Broadway and Hillingdon just to help with their journey about not there the trains are all fine can't see any huge delays on the route to party boards so I'm sorry travel from B.B.C. Radio Oxford. Thank you very much however sounds like some good news with your travel. 109 travel one radio. Travel. Right well it is now time to have part 2 of our original B.B.C. Oxford Christmas fable written by Russ Thompson who does the book reviews and chats in book corner on my Friday evening show read by the fantastic the voice I'm trying to think of more sort of I like to say golden voice of already said the voice alone says 1000 ships so feel you need think of some more just say it's a very nice voice Come on that's not good enough it's Christmas but we left the story part one earlier on a bit of a cliffhanger Simon cloves fantastic Santa but to get healthy he lost weight shaved off the beard his wife thought he looked good and things were starting to look pretty good until November it appeared in a slimy magazine he was feeling good she said is handsome stubble really suited him like something of a Saga magazine I think it was but is there trouble brewing let's take us away. To the manager of the garden center. To do so. of then a little disappointed he did the say anything explicitly but so i'm a good secure his face at something was wrong them the inevitable phone coal cam thanks your money years are being santer but we're giving someone else or goal this year after 10 years he was no longer santa is grown up children kept a visit over the weekend and they put up to treat together as simon put a flabby armed to sam to arm to the tree was that a tear in his eye at of been worth losing part of his fast of identity just so he could look like a manned from a lot of art for an up market retirement village own the $24.00 for this ember his wife told me she'd forgotten the by a present for her cousin who was mad about gardening only warm thing for it i quick trip to be out a time garden centre at the find a gift she'd already drunk to glasses a sherry which meant simon had to drive and he would have to return to the grotto a perhaps e the line of children wedding for a move a summit last well the arrived he said he'd wait a become and he sat there listening with a christmas songs on the radio wondering whether all i want for christmas as you was acrid over them mariah carey wanted something else as well like a rolling michigan are posh Out of his window he saw 2 wells running back into the garden center from a cigarette break that is thought to return to the ground. Maybe he should go in just to see the lights of the Christmas display inside.
