In the garden with Ian Holland
The plants at my place are confused. Very hot days, followed by cool days then heavy rain. The poor plants don't know what's going on. Only the weeds seem to cope no matter what!!

Computers and Technology with Matt James
Hello again and Merry Christmas. My thanks to Trevor Long for filling in last month as I enjoyed a holiday around Australia. I know that George Ilich normally does the travel section of the 2CH newsletter but can I just say that Australia is a top spot for holidaying and there is so much diversity in this big brown land that you'll never get bored.
Any-who on to technology. I've had a lot of people email me asking about TV's. I promised to talk about 'i' and 'p' but have not. Let me rectify that now.

Bob Rogers easy listening artist of the month - MICHAEL BUBLE
Recently I spoke with Michael here in our 2CH studios. He says that despite the success of his previous CD's he was terrified when he went into the studio.
"Completely, because I knew that it had to be better than the first two — that it had to show growth without alienating anyone, and that's a tough line. So I sat there from the very beginning and came up with the songs, put together the skeleton, and thought about what arrangers I would hire."
