Sat, 10 June 2006 Another show from Happy Happy Park in which we tell you about Pocky Sticks, the history behind Dave's horrible coffee cups and the possible connection with Japan's current lack of children. Next we get all historical and Dave lectures on the Japanese victory in Singapore in 1941, commanded by locally-trained General Yamashita, branded a war-criminal by the Allies, but still revered in some circles here. Music is again provided by Andy's electronic outfit Easter Islanders, this time playing the oddly-titled 'Yamazaki Doughnut Conspiracy Theory'. Said confectionery conspiracy theory is then revealed by Andy, a man with one hand in the Hiroshima cake business. Andy takes a look at the attempt to introduce a new national day in Britain and tries to work out what it means to be British. Dave wraps up with another idiom, this time concerning 'cause and effect', and there is talk of Dutch ladyboys for no apparent reason. Comments[308] |
