Coffin Rats? No Dinky Danks!
Liza wants to know about the strangest things spotted while hunting for a home. There are a few gothic tales in the mix and enlivening tunes from The Chiffons, Dr John and Wheatus.
Liza wants to know about the strangest things spotted while hunting for a home, and the conversation takes a slightly gothic turn, with a coffin full of rats and tarantulas hiding in an airing cupboard. A detour into the world of the Magic Bus remembers cheap as chips trips to Europe - with breakdowns, falling off doors and drivers drinking schnapps through mountain passes.
Hot on the heels of St David’s Day and Sydney’s Mardi Gras Parade, the collective takes to the ice on Llyn Bochlwyd in Snowdonia (occasionally called Australia Lake, because of its shape). And there are enlivening tunes from The Chiffons, Irma Thomas, Lord Tanamo and Paolo Conte, as well as some Y2K nostalgia courtesy of Wheatus.
