Eyelash Mites and Their Origins

Granger knows when you're a procurement manager for an office park You're not managing one building, you're managing all of them.

For the ones who get it done. This is LBC fromrom Global, leading Britain's Cversation Mystery Hour with James O'Brien. Oh, thank goodness for that. Honestly. Four minutes after. wouldould you like a couple of tails from the earth? r the towers. I I just have to run around the building at the moment to find a functioning facility because there's so much building work going on. I personally think there should be a ban on that non presenters using the facilities during these little junctions because that's when presenters need them. Often I'm often to be found fighting Alexander Armstrong and Alid Jones. I was dragging Alid Jones out of the gents and Alexander Armstrong came around and hit me around the back of the head with a bin so that he could get in and relieve himself. I just walked past cllassic FM and goodness me, Adid Jones beautiful speaking voice, isn't he? I mean you'd think of the feedather as a singer, don't you? But o man al loveive, I could listen to him read out the phone book. I really could't whatever you do tell him that I said so. Hopefully he'd be too busy listening to the clip of me blowing smoke off his fumnder and that I'll be able to beat him into the labatory next time It's time for Mysteria. It's a mad building there sometimes. You can be walking around the building and Jonathan Rossell pop by as he's recording his classic FM program or doing his podcast down in the bowels of the building and Alie'll be in doing Alexander's holiday cover. You give old Alie a wave as you go past and Myileen Class will be here as well because we're next to Classic FM and smmoothate Garaway will often be spotted waiting by the lift. It's a bit like the bar in Star Wars. That that's what it's like in this building sometimes. Six minutes after twelve is a time. Should we get Mysteryour underway? The way it works is this, someone rings in with a question and someone else rings in with an answer. That's it. How do I get five minutes of spel out of this every week, Keith That's it someone Someone wes Ohh yeah, there's a bard game U two in fact well, one board game, one travel game The travel game is in the tin. twowo games. How can how can a lonely radio feature like this dreamt up so that we wouldn't Run the risk of saying anything political by accident on the day of a by election. So it was on a Thursday. That's why it's on Thursdays, even though it feels very Friday U how could such a lowly little radio idea have grown into a behemoth that not only has an online archive beloved by billions, but also has spawned two actual real games that you can buy with real money Extraordinary anyyway, my favorite contributor of the week Wins a game either the boall game travel game It's in a tin You can find the full terms and conditions For the competition at lbc. co. u and you can find out more about the Mystery our games, plural Um I' be sitting now what is it? mstour. co. uk. mreraour. co. uk. Do you know why I got distracted now? Thank you. This is actually insane. Will sent me a message in capital letters when I was going on about all the people that you can pump into as you wander around this building. Will snd me a message in capital letters saying James focus I it was in Capitol letters. I glanced at it and it drew my attention. I'm not going to tell you that because otherwise you'll send me all your messages in Capitol letters and it'll be like living in Donald Trump's brain So I got distracted by Will telling me to focus. and forgot to say that you can find out more about the Mystery Oour games plural at mysteryHour. co. uk It's not too soon to start thinking about Christmas All right, it is too soon to start thinking about Christmas, but we might sell out. A Christmas So get in there now. And then someone else rings in with the answer, okay It says on my screen that Steve is inhrewsbury, but he's currently in Italy So why have we put out why don't we just say Steve is in Italy? I grant you, it's a big place But it's more accurate than Tresbury. Steve, question no answer It's a question in, James. Carry on Steve. Well, I'm in Italy because I you had I never fununnily enough, I'm not in intrud. I'm all the way over in Umbria in Narni in Umbria. and it look beautiful and hot and cold. No been Well I're going to rub it in a bit more now because we had last week a fantastic I take to celebrate our wedding congrats a happening. Thank you. That happened in Cornwall just before Christmas. So we just eloked the two of us that we had the party over here. Oh, how do I now It was, it was gorgeous, I have to say. But the question is, during the party and probably a little bit before and a little bit after and probably right now. we've enjoyed an awful lot of Italian wine, really nice Italian wine and it's delicious. But in the evenings and especially at night, the not so lovely Italian mosquitoes come along and bite me. and What I want to know is if I have a particularly high blug alcohol content When the mosquito comes along and has a little bit of drink of my blood. Does the mosquito get drunk too? That's a nice question. And is that why they keep coming back? Well, I think we know the second it's probably not true But I mean, would it be would it be Strong enough, do you think the blood? I mean I mean imagine a mosquito having a outco it depends on the metabolism as well, doesn't it? I mean I have to say it was a very good party. Okay, so you were absolutely stcial.. Any primitivo?ound quite partial to a bit of prrimitivo. It was a bit of everything, I think Right you're on. So a mosquitocovered cocktails for the first time. Did you really didn't know what it was? Oh yeah. What color was? We already do cocktails No, they're quite dangerous because you think it's like drinking liquid Haribo, don't you? And then suddenly you realize you've put away about forty eight units and it's not even seven o'clock or is that just Keith No. What colour was it? What colour was the cocktail? It was pretty colourless actually. Oh. sort of slightly yellowy color began with a sea. It began with a sea. had a lemon yellow in it? was it lemony No. No, no, no. Began with a sea. It's not a cosmopolitan. That's a convertse ping No. Well there you go. Let's play hump the cocktail. We've invented a new feature for the next time there's a by election. You ring in, anyway, we'll find out for you. Will Steve's blood alcohol content haveave any effect on all the mosquitoes that were feasting on that are currently feasting on him? in Umbria Thank you, Steve. Two finine lines forree. rememember, some of the people that ringing at the very top of the hour have either not quite got the hang of it or I would never Martha and Amelia who are answering the phones would never say this to them, but I can. their questions are rubbish So some people ring in with rubbish questions and they don't get on And a bit like this is a nice one, a bit like if you're really clever And you're about to beat me up. online in a discussion on air, live on air, in a discussion about racism or two tier policing, then they screen you out and they don't let you up. I presume that's still a story that's been told on Elon Musk's platform. It's about as true as most of the things that have been told on Elon Musk's platform, but I occasionally get something creeping into my conscious. Yeah, they don't let on good people They don't let on decent people who can tell him what's what That' say it's outrageous how they just let people on who they know are stupid But they actually agree with me, the stupid people. but they don't let me look I'm clever Anyway, some questions are really bad and they genuinely don't get on, whichich means there'll be a couple of phoneos free usually about three minutes after we start. Andy is in hull. Andy question or answer I have a question, James, please. Carry And so I don't know. peopleeople who lip read, I think that's probably the easiest way to say it. Would they know that I'm from Yorkshire So can lip readers detect accents Yes, accents. Yeah, especially like obviously within the UK, we've got a vast range of accents. Would they say This guy's from Yorkshire, this guy's you know Manunian. accents are they I think we've had this before, but I can't remember the answer. so I mean it counts again. thered be some I'm trying to think of the most elongated like the thing that does the most weird, probably a scouser is it? who whose mouth is the most associated with acc My wife is Polish and she can understand really strong like Scotch accents Right straight away. but She sometimes she still struggles now when I'm talking to her. Really she's just pretending mate Yeah more than likely. Yeah. I like this I like this. I mean I don't quite I can't I usually can have a fairly educated guess on. I would have thought not Who knows? I like that. Can you identify an accent just from lip reading? Lovely question. Because when you learn to lip bread, I'm assuming you do it off a DVD or something like that and that person will be speaking The Queen's English, you know, like really perfect English Yeah, probably So then when you come you come to come to W and it's like, you know, you know, it's different. But they' I've got to do a variety of actions You're still shaping you shaping your mouth the same way Well also you've got dialects as well when they drop syllables like I just did in a slightly patronizing way. when you drop a syllable. That's it yeah. Like we're famous for like five and nine. So people are going to look at that and go, what is that word? I don't even recognize that word. If it's just purely on how you're Yeah you have your own. Yeah. Yeah, your own He, I think it was a kyperina Andy you've lost me mate going The cocktail Oh I know, the cockt tell that Steve was having an umbria just before you came. Yeah, you know what I was after listening and I was after watching a dog in the garden sorry like rolling in something Oh girl going to sort that out? I'm sure we've had that before, but hey, I'm fifty four. Can't remember the answer. Se me. Ohero three four five six zero six zero nine seven three is the number that you need Um teen So do mosquitoes react to in any way the blood alcohol content of their victims or the prey? And do lip can lip readers detect regional accents. Hit the numbers now you you probably will get through actually, but we need a few more questions as well. the T timee now is twelve fifteen Mystery Hour on LBC. With Vauxall. Proud partner of TeamGB. It is twelve sixteen and you are listening to James O'Brien on LBC. Mosquitoes blood alcohol, and lip reading an accentence. Juliette'sim Mara, Juliette, question or answ It's a question and thank goodness for that because I was really worried when I was there on hold when you were saying about people with rubbish questions not getting through you thought that you were like surptitiously telling those on hold yourour questions are rubbish. so how not? you're making me sound like a monster I worry thinking no maybe he's just trying to tell us nicely if we're waiting in the sidelines that are It's the people who aren't on that it's the people who've been politely told that we'll bring them back. They're the ones whose questions are sorry, I'm getting my own colleagues into trouble now. I' not not That's not how it works at all. The only people that aren't allowed on are the people who are much, much cleverer than me and will beat me in all arguments. They're the only people that are not allowed on And Nigel Farraage as well, because I'm frightened of him. They're the people They're the only people that are there. G on then Juliet. Question, answer. It's a question. I'm going gonna caveat it with saying Edi is actually my daughter's question, but she's not here to ask it. So if it's rubbish, it's her question. butuck your own daughter under the bus and' me, apologising for being a monster. G. Yeah, no joke. O So first cousins whose parents and for argent's sake make easier to picture, their mothers are identical twin sisters Does that make the first cousins slightly genetically closer than just regular first cousins Yes Oh you know that definitively already. Yeah right, clever clogs, I appreciate you're going want a little bit more flesh on the bones of that answer. but Again, as with the lip badhing one, it rings a bell this. think I think that if two identical twins marry two identical twins. I think their children are genetically rather than cuton Ready? I mean, don't I think so Maybe they would be, wouldn't they I don't know. I mean I think her question was more if just the mother if the mother No, I know her question. but mean but if my theory is correct, then her theory will be correct as well. They will be more than n regular be'll have more in common. But I mean, then again, of course, you go back far enough, cousins marrying each other all the time, particularly in the well actually all well, yeah, I knew you were going to say in the royal family, but in rural areas as well and well all over the place. we wouldn't move around a lot. We weren't very mobile. So when you looked at a family tree, there'd be degrees of kinhood on it that would be less likely to be there now And therefore, I don't know that there is a pure sibling type DNA map, if you see what I mean, or a pure cousin one. But I think on well, I'll ask, I don't know why I'm wanging on about this. I don't know anything about it. The, the question' brilliant. if you have identical twins and they both have children Will those children have a closer genetic connection than than other first cousins Exactly that. Yes. Why does you want to know? Are you an identical twin No, I'm not. And you know what? She's actually staying with her cousins and my sister in law right now doing work experience. I don't know if she was thinking about the relationship, the closeness No. And maybe that's what it was. so I like it. I like it. It's a good. Thank you very much. Judulet. We shall find out for you, cousins and twins Uh twenty minutes after twelve Ben is in Bristol, Ben, question our answer Hi James, Yes a question, please. My question is when you see car showrooms in like shopping malls and big shopping centers, how do they get the cars into the showroom? basasically In context, I was in Kurd's Causeway in Bristol recently.. onn the second floor and there's a like a Ple star showroom. I was thinking how on earth did they get them in there? Because obviously, Cribbs's causeway is still been made for a long time. So it's not like they made it aroundound the car showroom. So They've got massive lifts Yeah how do they how do they get in though? But drive in you' way through Well when they wait till it's shut And then they dri Yeahah how else are they gonna to do it? Like T it Porter. You like Yeah, but no but like, All right, Vickkey Bllard. Spit it out Come on it's got me a better answer. Why do you think it's not just to be clear? because I may be missing some elements of the question. whyy do you think it's not lifts? I don't know. I mean I guess so, but just it seems like there's I don't know just getting it in through the front. Yeah they has to take off the front doors and stuff. there's a trader. there's a goodzent for us everyveryhere's got a good zent with a little ramp and a metal thing and you drive it in and there's a big old look, do you want me to get you a generic answer? orr do you want do you want someone who is specific works in it someomeone who is specific to the the Mallet Cribbs Cuseway in Bristol Be maybe what also your colleague was saying about the ones, you know, when you're driving in from the airport to all up London. Yeah's there's the massive big skystraer that's got like loads of that's near my house. That's lifts. yeah, that's. You can see the lift on the side of the Audi garage. They go up,' So that's why I think it's lift. There's an Audi garage' a Volkswagen garage just opposite where the Glaxo Smith cllimb buildilding used to be. Yeah Well, the building's still there. it's just Glaxos Sith. It's a bit niche this,en Right, you're on. How do they get cars into mauls, if not in lifts? Then it must be magic flipping ones, but he doesn't accept my answer, so we'll have to wait for yours. Oh three hundred forty five. And do you say Maul or mau Mall Yeah I do too. It's the mall. So the mall is where you know the big street in town and the mall is where you go shopping. twenty two minutute, even though they spellt the same. David' in Bristol. David, question or answer Question, James. Sorry Very quick. I've been holiday recentlyight. Yeah everyveryone has, it seems, except me, I'm going at the under of the ro. B time here isn' it. Hanging in there hanging in won't be long won't longong. Thank you quick question that why does the Palms are your hands and the base of your feet never catch a tan. I' got no melatonin in them Is it purely and simply not? That was a very good joke with a bit a comedic callback to Michael's call earlier later in the last that Melanin, of course, I mean. You don't know' one they didn't seem to burn and two they they never seem to change colour. I reckon they burn. I mean, they would burn eventually, wouldn't they? Be you burn you know, when someone just don't touch that place it's really hot And they're in the sunn for hours, you would probably you know Gys skin damage. Okay, well, obviously with all of these questions, I think I've answered them correctly, but we're going to need someone who's actually got some qualifications to confirm or deny my theory. So you much thicker skin on the palms of your hands and I think that. the soles of your feet. so that will be part of it coupled with O old melanin Yeah Would it take longer? C you basically tan your hand your hands entally. No, I don't I think people of colour have paler palms and soouls indndeed than the rest of their bodies are. So obviously it's going to be linked to melanin, but I will get you a proper answer or at least get you an answer that may be the same as mine, but it will be from someone who actually knows what they're talking about. than which is always preferable. Thank you very much.al whereere did you go on your holidays? Menora. How was it if Was it? qu a lot of people going to Minorca this year. Is it become cool? Is it become fashionable? We go to a very quiet place. Very nice No English. All Spanish. Fantastic. That won't last. The place I go to in Greece used to be like that. Then I told everyone about it. twenty four minutes after twelve is a time, Dean is in shom, Dean, questuion our answer. Hello, James is a question. Marry on, Dean. You someone on this show will be able to solve a years long argument between me and my mum. on. And I'm with my mum today, so I said, Mystery hour. My mum's name is Brenda. Hello, Brenda U When it gets hot like it did last week, my mum insists that drinking a cup of tea calms you down because she says it will make you sweat and sweating will cool you I say that's a load of rubbish. I say sor Don't speak to your mother like that, please. I gently disagree with my mother That's right.. Thank you. And sorry, mother. And I say that it basically raises your temperature And then you start to naturally cool down and then you go back to where you started. So basically it makes you hotter and then you're back to where you started rather than cooling you down Is there someone listening to this show who is you know a scientist of some sort that can tell us me whether it calls you down or not or me What are your qualifications is James? I've dealt with this question before, and I spent a period of my life as a laborerer on a building site in South Yorkshire where this was a subject of brief but definitive debate among my labouring colleagues Right Well, I don't know if it was two weeks actually, it might have only been one week, but anyway, it was a very significant part of my life And in a way, you're both right because obviously, when you drink a cold drink, you cool down internally quite quickly But your mother is more right. But as long as the sweat can evaporate, So as long as so you know you' be wearing short sleeves or short trousers, as long as the sweat can evaporate because it's the evaporation that causes the heat exchange that cools you down much more effectively, much more long termly and much more comprehensively. So your mum is right. The hot drink causes you to sweat a bit, the sweat evaporates, that cools down any bit of skin where the sweat has appeared and subsequently evaporated Whereas you're just you're just go on What if I'm wearing like what if I'm wearing nylon or rayon or something that Well, don't I mean that isn't the question, is it? You're only allowed one question and Brenda's right. She's done you like a kier mate, old Brenda. Not lovevely Brenda. lovely Brend. She's She's made it up the stairs and's now cackling at me, James. She's not She's not cackling you rude boy. She's chuckling, honestly. So in some respect, well done Brenda Thank you very much. and kn are you. You know what you're going to do now to celebrate you're going to have a nice cup of tea. I will C me down. Roundom applause for both of us ot. Thank youe. there you go. I don't know. Mate An anyway, also don't wear nylon A Bal's in Stabbridge, Bal question or answ Answer Jane. Marry on Bell How to get cars into shopping centers and dealerships that' are high op. Yes Well first things first the Audi one, they have obviously lifts, which you've already figured out. But some car showrooms actually have ramps outside where they actually have a ramp on towards the top of the showroom. and then they'll drive it through onto a bay and that'll drive it through into the second floor of the showroom. But regarding shopping centers, that's a little bit more health and safety and difficult. Again, they'll drive you through double doors somewhere in the shopping center. and nowadays they're pretty flexible. You can actually drive the car through and then park it up and then you have to disconnect the battery and put a little trayer underneath for the oil. But many, many years ago, you to make sure that the car was disconnecting the battery. there was hardly any fuel And you literally had to make sure that you push the car into the designated. And the thing about So also to help Ben, the There would be a lift in there because but we wouldn't see it we wouldn't see it because it's not, I mean, you have to get massive pallets of trainers up to the third floor as well and things like that. Well you have pallets for deliveries for obviously markets expensers. But if there's a car on the third floor, there's a lift there because they're not brought to up the escalators Well what you'll have is obviously whver whatever bay the car is going to go through, it'll drive up the ramp to the area where there's a lift, drive it through. or it may not even need to go through the lift because obviously there might be a double door that they'll be driving it through anyway. But generally if you can't see the means by which that car has got to where it's got, then there is either a ramp or a lift off st There' absolutely right, there's a ramp or a lift. And again, a lot of dealerships, ppecially, especially the AdD, that have ramps behind the dealership where they'll drive ono the ramp onto the roof, there'll be a loading bay, and then you'll drive the car straight through or you go onto a lift, obbviously whatever floor you want to go onto and then take you through there Qifications How do it I've been selling cars for thirty one years. Whereabouts in Stabbrge are you We're actually living in Hell zone now. I used to be stabb you used to be in Pedmore, so you're neck in the woods days near me. do you know I had a girlfriend from Penmall when I was about thirteen. Oh video. This is a small world, isn't it? Yeah, Lly small world Love that. But have you delivered castteright? I mean, dealerships yes, but have you delivered them to shopping malls ever and stuff like that? Yes, yeah. you did the utility arena in Birmingham about ten, fifteen years ago, which was a bit of a nightmare. Round of applause for Bao, please. and I hopefullyllin I'll win a book and a prize. yeah,'s a bo I'm not giving away books, mate. My kids need shoes, but there might be a board game in it for you a little later, although you know, competition At the moment is pretty stiff. I probably leaning towards them Tein and his mum obbviously we at the moment? I don't know.

Do mosquitoes Respond to the alcohol content in your blood when they eat you, or specifically Steve in ubria Do lip readers detect regional accents If identical twins had children, would those children be genetically more than cousins? Would they be sort of halfway in between cousins and siblings? I'd suppose We've done the cars and Bll's answer. We've done the hot drinks, that was James's answer. And why are the palms of our hands and the soles of our feet immune T sunlight, whyy don't they tan And's in Islington Andy question or answ It's a question, please Joones. Cry on Andy How are bus route numbers determined? a man London centric. It's a man after my own heart. It's not London centric. There's bus routes everywhere. you should get go town a bit more often. There routes all over the world in LBC land. I want to understand why for example The one one three, I believe goes from Edgewar to Take your time Take your time. I love this. This is not a motoring question, Keith. It's a logistics question. Fill your boots, Andy and take your time. I love this stuff. It's like Honey in my ears. One more car Cry on, carry on. Indeed. We don't agree on Matt, James, but I think we spoil it by saying that. Beuse it makes you sound like a racist Seriously, and we all know that you're not. you've just got legitimate concerns. But anyway, on you go with the bus routes. Yeah, I mean, as I say, the one three I believe goes from Edgewere, I think it's Edgewere to Marble Ach How can it one three. I mean, even in the days before the routes were all operated by different operators in some parts of the world. How would they decide? How would they decide what was what and which was which? Yes. And then when I recall visiting Birmingham and Manchester and up in Scotland and some of them are prefixed with letters, which possibly could add to the confusion resolve it or add to the confusion What is your favourite bus route? This is a phone in they won't let me do, but what is your favourite nearly did it once. What's your favourite bus route I'm not a huge bus user. What are you What are you asking this question for then Because I've always been fascinated. I like buses. I love the old route masters and all the rest of it especially the ones with the AUC engines anyone saw I'm getting too do like buses. So you like the buses vehicularly but not actually in a user' kind of way. more of a more a more of a spotter, more of an enthusiast and a passenger. It's at eighty eight James, two fat ladies. That's his favourite is it Yeah. Why was he so shy about it Well, we're not up to the watershed yet. Where did you come from You just hopped you just hopped on the foot plate halfway through the conversation. on the band where I don. And why do your children not have shoes at another? They do have shoes. They just need more constantly. Have you met young people these days? They can never have enough. That's a reference, of course to Why I want everyone to buy board games and books on the programm? Because my kids need to shose lovely. hang on. what's what's Andy's what's the lady' name? I've only got Andy's name. Alexa. Alexa. Oh. Oh hang on. s. I've got an original thing Jones. thing The world has changed, hasn't it for you, Alexa? A hell of a lot in the last few years. It has Can you see? In a good way. I was either Alex, Alexis, Alexia, Alexandra. Oh that's nice. Eone knows now Everyone knowsone everyveryone knows now I'm the best assistant in the world. I think I'll just call you Siri. twelve thirty seven is the time, The bus routes, the bus routes, the bus routes. How do they do it? Is it just chronologically? you start with one And when the very first bus route was one And then two and then I do not know, but I love that qu. I love buses. I can bore for Britain on buses. did we do it Keith? or did Eleanor forbid me from doing it? We were really close, weren't we? She's off at the moment. You could would you Elliot wouldould Elliot let me do? what's your favorite bus route? Soften them up a bit, Keee So tune in at twelve tomorrow to see if we've managed to get what's your favourite bus route past Elliot And the fact that Illinois is off this week and also that we've had a bit of a personnel change on the programm in recent weeks may explain why a few of you are complaining about petition We've had a couple of these before. I think they're exaggerating a bit Mat when you say we've had every single one. and also that's not how you spell Djovu, Clever clogs But if you can't remember the answer and I can't remember the answer, then it counts as a question. Obviously, the much missed because he's busier these days than he was when he used to ring in all the time. Professor Howell was the original answerr of the sweat question and the hot drink question. and that's a mark of how Mystery How makes a better person because I remembered it and provided the answer Telve thirty eight is the time. Miranda is in Maiden Newton in Dors it. Miranda question or answer. Answer. Carry on Okay, so this is the question of whether readers can understand accents or understand where you're from When I went to drama school, we learned how to do accents. and we were told that there's certain tensions in the mouse that will produce these accents. I can remember too, So one is Cockney. If you don't move your top lip, youll automatically speak Cockney. If you don't move your top lip, you'll automatically speak, I sound like Michael Coe A it' ordinary. So you don't move your top loop Don't move your top l. I like that. Yeah, gone. And if you go up north, if you think Vera Duckworth, the letter box shape on your mouth, Hey op shop Yeah, or Wallace and Grommit, they've got those as well. S. Automatically, you pull your lips apart as a God, that sounds awful. Anyway as if a letterbx shape and also a scalcer as well. A scaler Well that's not far from Lancashire, is it It's nots that neck of the woods and you give it a letter box and it's all going to come out like this. And you keep your top, you keep your top lip It's very hard to keep your top lip dead still. There's often an explanation for it, isn't there? L pollution and things like that. So there's a theory that the Birmingham accent or the Black Country accent is because there were so much disgusting fumes being pumped into the atmos. same with the tension in the top lip for the cockney smogg. Yeah ye, of course. yeah. I love all that Do you have any knowledge of whether or not this does actually translate to lip readers actually Practice it when you go round a shop And look at people's faces and think, Are you from London? Are you from up North? Really? Probably can' tell I reckon And I'm not even joking that I could tell where Peter Kay was from before he started talking So I don't know what that means. There's just certain physionomies that seem to let them there's probably a relationship. I don't know. I love that So yes is your answer, although you're not a lip reader. I think I'm going to give you the round of applause you. Thank you, Branda And also we'll gloss over that other part. Ricky is in Hamstad in North London, Ricky question or answer Question for you, please, James. Carry onry. Who's Bob and how come he's my uncle? This is your I mean, come on lads Honestly, Putting that through I mean, we must have I mean it no offense, mate but we must have done this about four hundred and seventeen Tven I could probably can you remember the answer, Keith You're saying we've never done it before. Everyone's had a fit of the vapourors, it must be the hot weather. I can't you James. You're just going to deillose no. You anyone else No, you're probably right, actually. if you think everyone else is mad, chances are it's you. Where's that George Orwell quote when you need it? So who is Bob and why is he my uncle? I do know this and I'm only C on. Well calm down. you can't badger me because I'm trying to just create a low level banter in the background Well my brain goes into a different part and comes up with the answer to Bob's your Bob, Bob. No, I've got nothing. It's on the board, which is outrageous, frankly I tell you's not Well I' good one. I'll tell you who's not getting a game this week, Ricky M Tum whatty what is time, Hannah is in Northampton. Anah question or answer It is a question.. So my question is if We all have these horrible little mites on our eyelashes, right? Oh you do. make your eyes all tickling? Yeah also some people are eating. Are you sure that we all have horrible little mites on our eyelashes? Is it a permanent state of affairs for everybody Well this is what I've heard I remember I remember being told by a teacher once like years and years ago just office from Shering Mascara and then I've heard it ever since butve always forgotten to find out what the answer is. Oh here we are What on So what's the question? Wh where do they come from in the first place Yeah, are we born with them or how do they find our eyes? Why do they just live in our eyes and not our head? If that's the case? I think they might live in other oil glands and follicles, but I'm not one hundred percent sure. You asked the question. You can't go all squeamish now, Hannah Oh I know it's horrible, isn't it that? Not really. We need to be a bit more grown up about these things. So it's not obviously so eyelash mites, where do they come from Where do they come from? Where do they come from? It's a bit I mean, whereere the fleas come from? Where does anything come from? Where where the knits come from And where does any parasite come from? They just They exist and then they find a host and they hop on and Bob's your uncle. Bom! Oh dear. Thank you, Hannah. twelve forty three is the time. I got some phonines free and I've got lots of questions that need answering. And frankly, you can't simultaneously complain that we've done them all before and not ring in with the answer that you can remember from last time That's my job. Mosquitoes, blood alcohol. rel Do a mosquito get drunk when it drinks your blood when you've had a skinfulull? We've done the lip reading. that was a lovely answer for Miranda. If two identical twins get married to different people and have children Will the children be more than cousins? Will they be somehow in between cousins and siblings? I like that question We've done the cars, good answer from Baal. Why are the palms of our hands and the soles of our feet so immune to S tanning U how did bus routes get Allocated Bob. And whose uncle was he originally? and eyelash mites? What's that all about? James is in Oxford James hang on zero three four five, six zero six zero nine seven three is a number you need hit. the numbers now you will get through. And listen, the game's still up for grabs at the moment. I think that Deanam His mum in the lead, Dean and Brenda are just in the lead but it's anybody's. It's anybody's game at this point in proceedings. James is in Oxford. James question or answer sorry am I interrupting something No, no, no, no is the answer. is the answer for the mosquito thingink. Carry on So shamefully un'm lucky for us the mosquitoes will not get drunk, no matter the amount of an alcohol we're going to actually and drink because the actual content will be still It' pretty low to start any effect. And besides the mosquito has kind of several enzymes which the drop of blood is digested straight away. And one of the enzymes is decomposing the alcohol as well aside from the blood content. So that's before it gets to the nervous system. So unfortunately for us that they will not have any effect whatsoever. As a matter of fact, when we drink a lot then we becoming a better target for them, easier to be spotted because the mosquitoes using a therosensory stimulus. and so so they don't feel obviously, they don't have an nice like human beings, but they sense the changes in temperature. So we drink a lot And then we're getting hot flashed in the face, we're becoming automatically better target. Really? So the mosquito is drawn to the warmth Yes, is to warm blooded, warm blooded creatures, isn't it? In a certain in a certain degrees, obviously, because otherwise you would say why the mosquitoes not flowing to the open fire. Yeah, they s they sensing only the interval of the temperatures. Wow which which they developed the sense pretty smoothly as we develop our eyesack because this is the one of the main things they use for orientation of andordary a beautiful eyes. What are your qualifications I'm a doctor medical doctor and I have a degree in biology as well. That'll do nicely. That doesn't necessarily explain why you'd know about Mosquito enzymes, does it? Would you study that in the course of yourself? Well I'm just too curious too curious brain brain doesn't rest. I'm exactly the same. Where are you from originally if you don't mind me asking James? I'm from Walington and original name is Yarrk. I used this previous name James I was about to pick you up on. I was about to say. whyy did you say because you didn you didn't? I No I didn't. But I think that's why you paused a bit when you came on and I said, James and you thought Wait not a minute. He means me Exactly Y see that's my curious brain going into overdrive at the beginning of this conversation. Round applause for Yaric , E.. Thank you. a great presenter. Yeah Well, you're a great caller. I love you, man. Take careis twelve forty six Mystery Hour on LBC With Vauxle Proud partner of TeamGB. Oh, that sounds good Oh w, Keith. make a note What's it called full disclosure with James O'Brien? That sounds fun Cack all sorts of superstars O there, some good ones coming up as well This week's Russell T. Davis, which is a particular because his new show Tiptoe is absolutely extraordinary on channel four. startarted on Sunday. Ms Jry is underway, which is also a podcast actually, Well we're talking about G gllobal Pler. We do we put it up every week as a separate self contained cast it's wonderful for long journeys, and it's something that all the family can enjoy. But this one's going to end a bit early unless I get a few more answers on the board than I've currently got. So the questions that still need answers are Well actually we've done the moskuit. We've actually've done quite a few, haven't we? Where do eelash mites come from What is the origin of the phrase Bob's your uncle How are bus routes allocated? Why do the palms of our hands and the soles of our feet not tan in the sunshine? and What happens What is the genetic relationship between the children of identical twins? That works, doesn't it? So if you can answer any of those, zero three, four five, six zero six zero nine seven three There' the number you need ten minutes to one is the time Francesca is in Suton Francesca, question or answer. please don't Carry on, Francesca. But I just wanted to answer the question regarding DNA and how similar cousins are their things children of twins I just want to say that when a a mother and father have a child. child sh fifty percent of the DNA from the mother, fifty percent from the father. So when they have a sibling They will share fifty percent of the DNA with that sibling. Yeah. We recombine all DNA in sperm and in eggs just to make things as healthy as possible, diversity is as healthy as possible. But Don't say that Don't say that. you sound like you hate white people Well, that's gone over your head, hasn't it? diversity is good, you said. You're not allowed to say that this week You're doing it, you're doing it. on Yes human beings of human beings. I'm sorry that was the. That's. I think if you got your radio on in the background? No. Okay, it's just me that's confusing you I'll shut up then. You carry on Yeah, so children, siblings share fifty percent of the DNA Cousins share twenty five percent of the DNA because Oviously you're one degree away. Yes. If you have identical twins, they do not share fifty percent of their DNA. they share one hundred percent of their DNA, because they are identical. Yeah. so the so the children, the two Cousins, technically, legally they're cousins, genetically, they're half siblings and justressed siblings Noib No because it's not two sets of identical twins. it's only one set of identical twins Okay, so the mums are identical quins correct dads are. Correct. So they would be half siblings They would be half siblings. Genetically, but cousins Legally. Legally. Wow And if it was two sets of identical twins, they'd be full siblings. He wouldn't be able to tell the difference from their DNA about who was whoses this is the wonderful thing about DNA is that it's always recombined and it's always produced in the healthiest pattern you can through that diversity If you're talking about the solid block of DNA that they share, not that they express M sure you're talking about hibly Love it. Qalifications got a degree in genetics. I't think I've just got a degree in genetics. you know no man would have done that A man would have just gone, I've a degree I've got degree in genetics. But you say, that's the best possible qualification for the question that you've just answered No no, but all my siblings are dentists, so it doesn't really matter. matters to me It matters to me, Francesca. I have a round of applas. There you go. None of them have got one of those, haven't they W U That's it. That one goes off the list, Francesca They u Twins question. Ahan is in Sheffield, Akhan question or answer I've got answer I'm going to try to answer one of your questions about theanian one. Top man. Yeah, so our first time calling lovely show, love you. You're very kind, love you too. So essentially, we've got melanocytes everywhere. We've got in every part of our skin And most especially we've also got it in our Milano sites as in sort of Melanin Yeah, exactly. So of what it does is it produces melanin. G it whichich is responsible for giving our skin color. And it's kind of like our body's own defense mechanism against ultravioolent light.. So everyone, irrespective of race or ethnicity, they've got exactly the same amount of melanin on average. The problem the thing is really Yeah every Like take, for example, people from West Africa and people from like say the North of England, the difference is mainly in terms of the activity of this melanoc site Nn When they can, they essentially produce more banin, which then protects us from this ultraviolleent light. But if you look at the melanocytes that are in the palms, one, the palm and the soles have much more thicker skin. So this ultraviolent light doesn't actually penetrate deep deep to reach this melanocyte.. And in terms of the distribution and the density of this melanocyite Palms under sos, they have a reduced number. Hence having like a reduced density of this melanos site there So when you combine all of these factors it's essentially not going to turn because the sunlight or the ultravioent r is not reaching it in the first place, and it's not even reaching enough of those melanocyites. And based on wherever your ethnicity is from the activity of these melanoc sites already differs in the first place. And when you combine all of these factors, you get that result. That's a perfectly comprehensive answer. I've only got one quibble. What sort of light is it It's so Light yourself has light No light. what is the light called that stimulating? Utraiolent light, ultra violent light Ultra what Ultraviolet light Violet Because it sounded like you're saying ultra violent light for quite a long while. Absolutely not. I thought we've had enough of that thisk. So that's the perfect answer. What are your qualifications, Aan I'm a Piati doctor. that'll do nicely. I said you probably would know the difference between ultraviolet light and ultraviolent light. My first band was no, don't even do it. Here's a round of applause for you, Aa. Oh thank you very much. thank you very much. Well a brilliant debut, a lovely mystery. Who's going to win the game? Dononna Maria is in watchatch it Watch it Cool watch it. It is. What like watch it Watch it watchatch it In Somerset, watch it. Watch it, Dononna Marie, watch it, carry on question or answer C answer. Watch it, Keith. Yes, carry on It's about the Isash night. Oh, yes. So On your body you have something called Demadeex mites. they dominantly. dare you do. Watch it, Donna Marie. I do not And if there is an overgrowth on your face, It's a little devils. That's not an overgrth, that's a beard If there's an overgrowth of these mites on your face, they then kind of like travel upwards and decide that they want passgers new. so they go and seek out your eyelashes Now if you don't get on top of them and they continue to grow in your eyelashes in the little glowns. So that yes It can result in a condition called blaparitis, which is really nasty. And so it's an overgrth of Demodx m Demid Dcks, how do you get rid of them Well, you have to have a regime of kind of like helping to bleed the glands as in because you know your eyelids are made of well, you've got tear ducts and you've got medium glands that produce the oil that keep the tears on your eyes Yeah. And so you have to kind of like steam those, make it nice and warm bleed it to make sure that you're actually getting the oil into your eyes which stops the dry eye. but it actually also helps to kill off the deemadex mites as well. This is suuperbly comprehensive answer. What are your qualifications, Dononna Murric? I have had I have been suffering with blepharitis on and off for twenty years. Flpp been it blephonitis Blepharitis. Blepharis All right, watch it. Blepharitis Do you see where she's calling from, Sheila
