WOP Archives: The Neville Programme!

A recent trawl of the WOP archives unearthed this gem from 2005. It seems Nev was making a name for himself back then - although you don't want to know what that name was of course.

Sadly the rest of the programme has been forever lost in the attic of time, but at least we have this intro. Quite why they only made one episode of this will always remain a mystery.....
Maybe some lucky person might discover the rest of the programme in it's entirety at a car boot sale one Sunday...who knows!

Barry's Book Corner

This month, Barry Baitumen has been in a very philosophical frame of mind. Unsure of his roots, where he came from - and indeed where he is going - he has been in heavily contemplative mood, reaching deep into himself as well as the Book Corner library.

His pick of the bunch this time around is "Darwin" by Adrian Desmond & James Moore - which is suitably located outdoors, surrounded by nature (in the form of the WOP veggie patch):


Barry was 'unavailable for comment' when we tried to press him for a few words. All he could say as he fled across the car park was "Why?! Why?! I just don't know what to make of it all!".

Wise words indeed, Barry - and we look forward to your next glowing recommendation.

Barry's Book Corner

Today's recommendation from our resident bookworm, Barry Bitumen, is that well-known tome "Gibbon's The Decline And Fall Of The Roman Empire" by D.M. Low - which can be found on the staircase, in the corner just before you turn left to go up onto the landing.


Says Barry, "I particularly enjoyed the start of paragraph two on page 508, which reads 'Athanasius introduced into Rome the knowledge and practice of the monastic life...' Yes, that was a good bit, that."

Wise words indeed, and we look forward to the next exciting installment to come from the shelves of the the Book Corner library.

Here at WOP HQ, we were particularly impressed by the condition of the carpet, given that it hasn't been hoovered for months.
