The festive season is truly upon on and in a kind of multiverse way that the kids like nowadays we have allowed the HoG regular hosts to meet with the grotty below stairs Last Orders boyz for a battle of wits, cunning and memory. It goes about as well as you'd expect. But its a good bit of fun and if you have listened to all the episodes you should be able to beat us. Its not that difficult because we are rubbish as it turns out.

HAPPY CHRISTMAS!

As always at this time of year we like to look out for others less fortunate then ourselves and as always our designated charity is Manchesters Wood Street Mission. We know times are hard for everyone but anything you can spare will make some kids Christmas just a little better.
