Sat, 17 June 2006 We kick off this week with an inpromptu campfire singalong before launching into the subject of 'nutters'. Andy tells us of the bizarre antics of the Yano Can Man, while Dave parries with talk of folk who memorise tram conductor spiel and perform it ahead of the real thing. Andy returns with a tale of a local Tourette's Syndrome victim and some weird goings on at a Hiroshima language school. Music is provided by Easter Islanders, Andy's electronic outfit, who play the intriguingly named 'Oscar : Cut 'n' Dried Quagmire'. Next comes another episode in Andy's 'History As I See It' feature in which he attempts this time to set the historical record straight with regard to Poland. Why was their country in the wrong place between the wars? Who was General Pilsudksi? Did they really send sword-wielding cavalry against German tanks in 1939? All will be revealed... Dave then tests Andy's historical knowledge by getting him to spot the mistakes in a passage from Dan Kurzman's 'The Day of the Bomb : Countdown to Hiroshima', before informing us how to reveal your true colours via a Japanese idiom.
