hello Mark I'd like to ask you about
your work as an archaeologist
what is it like digging for treasure great
great
archeology is my passion
when I'm working at an archaeological
site I feel like Indiana Jones
were you interested in archeology when
you were a teenager no I thought I was
going to be an artist because I was very
good at drawing
that's how I got my first job working
with some archaeologists in Egypt
they needed someone to make sketches
was it then that you became interested
in archeology well I was Keen to
discover the stories behind the objects
which I drew so in 1990 I decided to
study archeology I was really lucky
because in my second year a famous
archeology Professor Mark Thompson
became the head of my department and I
learned a lot from him where did you
work after graduation I went back to
Egypt because it is one of the most
fascinating places for any archaeologist
but I stayed there for only a week
because I got a phone call from
Professor Thompson in Greece which had
just been hit by an earthquake
he needed urgent help with protecting
some archaeological sites in the
earthquake region so I went and spent
almost a whole year working there with him
him
fascinating did you ever find any
valuable items while working as an
archaeologist once I found an
extraordinary vase
when the Sun Shines on it it seems to be
made of gold but it's in fact made of
crystal there's a photo of it on the
wall behind me wow it's beautiful and
what are you doing nowadays
well I spend most of the time in my office
office
I work for archaeological magazines and
write articles about the latest sites in
Egypt where my younger colleagues are working

John have you ever seen the film holiday
I just loved the English cottage in
which one of the characters lives after
I watched the film the first time I
wanted to see the house in real life I
started looking for tours which included
a visit to the village where the film
was made but I found out that the house
I was Keen to see doesn't exist anymore
it had been built in just two weeks and
when the filming ended it was taken down
two
Agatha Christie the well-known writer
bought this house in 1938 and described
it as the loveliest place in the world
she used to stay here to relax with
friends and family
this wasn't the place where she worked
on her detective stories but she set
three of her books here before we walk
around the house I need to get the
tickets you could now leave the coach
sit in the deck chairs in the front
garden and enjoy the amazing views we'll
three
I'd like to invite you to watch our next
program we are going to have Oscar
Mendes an architect from Bogota with us
in the studio Mr Mendes owns a company
which uses recycled plastic to construct houses
houses
as far as I know the system is very easy
first things like old plastic bags
bottles and toys are turned into all the
different parts needed for building a
house then these parts are put together
just like Lego with this technology it
is possible to build a house in just
five days you will have the chance to
four
this is the point in our weekly program
when we give our listeners ideas for
short weekend trips our first suggestion
today is for fans of The Lord of the Rings
Rings
for as little as a hundred pounds a
night you can experience how it feels to
live like a Hobbit the idea for this
magical Hobbit holiday home came from
the famous fantasy novel and movie series
series
the house has round doors and walls and
is located in beautiful English Countryside
Countryside
it is perfect for up to four guests why
don't you make a reservation right now

yesterday I decided to leave my car at
home and go to my office on foot in one
of the streets on my route I saw a few
people standing in front of a wall at
first I thought that they were looking
at a poster but when I asked one of them
she said that they were waiting to enter
the narrowest house in the world
it is just 92 centimeters at the
narrowest point and 152 centimeters at
the widest point the house has two
floors and a kitchen a bedroom a
bathroom and even a tiny living room it
is hidden between two much bigger
buildings so I'd had no idea that it was there

day after leaving the supermarket I'd
return to my car only to find that my
car keys and phone were locked inside
a cyclist stopped and asked what was
wrong I explained my situation and added
that even if I could call my wife she
wouldn't be able to bring me her car
keys she was looking after our baby
the cyclist handed me his mobile phone
and suggested I should call my wife and
tell her that he was coming for the keys
I did what he'd suggested but made it
clear to him that it was a long trip
the cyclist said he needed the exercise
and off he went
he returned with the keys after an hour
I thanked him and wanted to give him

at a grocery store near Lake Tahoe a
video on the internet from the Shop's
camera shows a bear entering the store
grabbing a bag of crisps and leaving
another video shows a bear at the same
shop two days later carrying a small
plastic cup of yogurt in its mouth
wasis the second visit by the same bear
or were these two different Bears we
can't be sure
the story may sound funny but in fact it
should remind us that when we are
camping in Bear territory we must not
leave food in places where Bears can
find it because if they start eating
human food they may lose their natural
