I've learned that Derek Nimmo seems to love traveling to Singapore a lot, and loves to stay in the Raffles Hotel. I've learend from Peter Jones that you can be on the show for x amount of years and still not really be any good at playing Just a Minute. I've learned that Nicholas Parsons followed the likes of David Hasselhoff, Naomi Campbell, John Tesh and others by having a record be successful in some obscure parts of the world, but not in the actual country he recorded the damn thing in. I've learned that the only reason Nicholas Parsons was in the Rocky Horror show was to sell choc ices and wore fishnet stockings going to the theater. I've learned that Nicholas Parsons can't fashion a foreign accent to save his life, largely because his attempts to sound from one country actually make him sound like he's from somewhere else entirely. I've learned that mime works on radio. I've learned that you can earn bonus points literally for doing nothing except shaking your head in contempt at the chairman, largely if the subject happens to be 'The Chairman's Best Points' or something like that.

-What I have learned from JAM---- hmmmmm

1. that certain Plants can "outwit' you

2.that in k.Wms day the recordings of JAM were a Longggg way from Great Portland street :)

3. never put emolison paint in a Punette

4. People in china and India learn English from the show ( how confused they must get!)

5. Nicholas gets Tons of letters from all over the world but really they are written by Paul Merton

6. Never say Capt Vancouver was gay!

7. there is a 50% chance that Glyes B will do his hamlet/omeltte joke- given half a chance

8. Paul Merton can make a very fast Ham sandwich

9. Clement does Not know how to make a cornish pasty !

10. Clement can list about anything!

Well that is just a small part of what I have learned from JAM but the main things are- I always LOL at the show and that listening to a show ( epecially at work or on the bus) can make a Day Saner! Miriam

It was easy by typing the speakers name and what little dialog I remembered. Tonight I was trying to remember:
