BBC Radio Five Live

http://www.bbc.co.uk/fivelive/programmes/upallnight.shtml

I have just finished a phone interview with BBC Radio Five Live today.

I was told it was aired in “Up All Night” segment of the show later today or tonight depends on which part of the world you living in.

Have a listen everyone, and please let me know what you think.

4.85 MB mp3 file here or here.

Thanks,

"Joe"

In Joe’s email, along with the photo, he says:

“After seeing your site I probably would be happier if I remained ignorant, but I have to know - what does my tattoo say? It was supposed to say, ‘Joe’.

My only defense in getting this tattoo, about 10 years ago, which I could not read, I was young and stupid.”



The three character tattooed are nowhere near “Joe”.

The two outer characters 術 and 功 are recognizable, but the center character is difficult to distinguish.

Typically, 乔 is the Chinese phonetical transliteration for “Joe”, and 穣 in Japanese kanji.

New York Times and Los Angeles Times

My interviews with New York Times and Los Angeles Times have been printed.

I will update more when I get the printed versions. In the meantime, I would like to thank everyone for your support which has made this possible.

Especially you, Mr/s. Anonymous.



Matter of fact, I have actually purchased a copy of The Elements of Style by William Strunk Jr. and E. B. White. ISBN 0-205-30902-X.

Hopefully someday I can also make people nauseous like Vin Diesel did by repeating a book's title over and over again.
