Re: Bradley Walsh on Wheel of Fortune
I actually meant Jade Goody and Jenny Powell are twins, Jason. Now you mention it, Bradley Walsh could be related too. Maybe they're triplets? I think in triplets you usually have an even number of each sex. Not sure, ask Corby.

Jason, surely the next podcast will be long gone by January.
I don't think they're really only doing 1 per person per year.
So maybe they can do the ducky song next time and the other one in January. Hopefully it will be a video podcast with dressing up and dancing.

The hearts was one of the last ones I got which was rather odd since I work with cards on a regular basis.
The nun one is pretty easy. Love has a tennisy definition in crosswords.
I'd never heard of that word for a marble but the clue was very straightforward so I took a shot.
