Liza Tarbuck: It’s Not Snogging Donkeys

It’s Not Snogging Donkeys

BBC Radio 2 - Liza Tarbuck, It’s Not Snogging Donkeys

Heaven is a place with donkeys, and lethologica is our new favourite word.

While imagining a personal heaven, the conversation turns to the therapeutic power of donkeys. And lethologica is our new favourite word (if we can remember it).

Liza wants to hear about your personal heaven. She’s drawn to the water, so there will be a large expanse of sea and rock pools in her paradise, and there are lots of requests for dogs. But the conversation turns to the therapeutic power of donkeys. Liza wants them close to hand, their noses ready for a nuzzle. Just don't think, for even one minute, that she’s talking about snogging them.

Menopausal memory loss is gifted a new name this week: lethologica - the inability to remember the word that’s on the tip of your tongue. And we have squirrels instead of skewers on the BBQ, while “jumpoline” proves that, when words fail you, the alternative is often better.

The heavenly music selection includes the mighty and miraculous Jackson Sisters, a Stardust cover from NEIL FRANCES, the self-effacing and witty poetry of Baxter Dury, another beautiful song from Caterina Valente, and something perfect from The Lightning Seeds.

Amazing music. Played by an amazing line up.
