Great question, cologne, I love it. I've been reading all sorts of papers about bat evolution to avoid starvation by being more tolerant to hypoxia! Fantastic. Nothing too specific yet. I could guess at a mole, that's as close as I am at the mo' - but I bet I'm a miles away.<laugh>
Don't know the form for asking for clues, so if it's not the done thing please ignore. But... Is it a hibernating animal?

You're not miles away Andy - it is a mole ! It is apparently able to reuse oxygen which enables it to spend so much time in cramped/gassy.. nest conditions underground. Not to be confused with the mole rat which is also a fascinating animal - apparently the only mammal immune to cancer. Over to you.

Brilliant, Cologne, really enjoyed that. I was waiting for a negative so I could jump in with sperm whale. <laugh>

OK, trying to keep things high-brow, what sort of biscuit is Barry from Watford partial to, and to what lengths does he go to get it?

As I was born in Watford, in theory I could refer to myself and be right. Having said that, the only biscuits I tend to eat now are ones brought into the office by my colleagues.

OK, ofh was closest. The full answer was he used his wife's blue badge to buy his Viscounts. You can listen to it here:

Alex Lowe is the very talented mischief maker. Iain Lee is funny too, I listen to him on the way to work sometimes on 3CR.

Over to you, ofh. :)
 
Didn't think I was that close, but here goes.
Name the journalist who began his writing career on the Rotherham Advertiser, and has worked on the Rochdale Observer, Wolverhampton Express and Lincolnshire Life as well as national papers.
 
Forgot it was almost on your doorstep Yorkie. He does actually describe himself as a journalist, although I expect more would think of him for his TV work.

It is all yours! :emoticon-0100-smile
