After hearing sheepys sexy voice on radio 4 this morning (had to have a lie down afterwards) I heard someone suggest he should listen to Audio books in order to make him nod off. Does anyone have any soporific suggestions to help the sheep in his quest for snoredom.
My husband came up with the first suggestion. "The brief history of everything" by Bill Bryson. He had it playing in his car but kept feeling his eyes drooping everytime he played it. He had to take it out in the end. He never managed to finish it because he would drop off after the second sentence.

*smiling *
You're very kind and very generous about my voice Shazza ! [;)]
I've read that Bill Bryson and it's great !..Perhaps Bill himself can record just for little ole me an audio version. I am hoping that Ms Trollpe will take me up on my invitation to send me her entire portfolio ! [;)]
Perhaps Chris can record for me an audo version of his Naked Science book ?
Hugs ya

ps: Oh My !..I just played the podccast ...doesn't it always make you cringe when you hear your own voice !! ?

Neil, I heard you as well and your broadcast was so good, that
I have just used the BBC's "listen again" facility.
TNS has a sexy voiced sheepy
Also why not have an audio book of sheep husbandry.
I agree with you about Radio 4 and later on the World Service.

Awww, thanks Rosalind ! *blushing*
The time actually allotted to me was used up by the main guest who encroached on my designated slot and I found my self afterwards wishing that I had said things so much differently. You don't of course have any rehearsals.
I was on my best behaviour but 15mg of Nitrazepam the night before tens to quieten one down !!!
lol..sheep husbandry..yes indeed !

Maybe and maybe not but Joanna Trollope is related to the
author Anthony Trollope as he is her gt gt gt grandad

I thought Sheepy was chatting up the presenter, was she sexy or just another Trollope? Sheepy could be a radio 4 presenter. Did you ask if they had any vacancies?

Yep, it was mentioned in our little chit chats that were not broadcast about her distant heritage !

LOL..Yes, yes I did !!..and I have sent them a follow up email already to ask if they have anything suitable !...I imagine ' toilet cleaner and ' bum wiper ' might be the only response I get ! [;)]
The presenter was Clare Balding !..that conjures up many a nice piccy !...she's that horsey sporty lass !!
-
Her voice is almost as sexy as yours. I'm getting some very bad pictures in my head now. I need another lie down. Pheeeew!

Typical Australian Shazza behavior. Can we clean out the trailer trash now?

An audiobook I read twice by Stephen Colbert - "I AM America! And so can you!", might actually be too hilarious to make you fall asleep but you should listen nonetheless.
-
No, the whole point is that they should be dull and boring and have a monotonous voiced reader.
-
Car maintenance, I did suggest Sheep husbandry and Neil liked the idea, I was joking.
The encyclopedia Brittanica or a history of somewhere. I don't know
-
What about Steve Davis the snooker player. Has there ever been a book about him? He was really boring. Clement Floyd reading the phone book would be good. My History teacher was really dull. I hit my head really hard on the desk once because I fell asleep suddenly during some dictation in his lesson. It didn't half hurt!

Freudian Slip.

I always start to nod off while listening to one of Stephen Frys podcasts, you can download them from the itunes shop for free. I normally can't listen to anything when trying to go to sleep, as I always start paying attention to it, but this is OK. There must be loads of really boring podcasts on itunes, and there are loads of sciencey lectures on itunes university too; quantum physics might work.

That new tennis player, Andy Murray, has the most monotonous voice EVER. He can speak without any modulation at all.
-
How about he checks on the BBC Shop site for audio books, they
do good ones or www.amazon.co.uk or his library to borrow
some audio tapes/CDs etc

Edward Gibbon - "The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire" Now THAT is boring, now matter who reads it. But it does have lessons for all of us.

This is more like it. My husband has war and peace to listen to when he retires. I bet he can't get past the first page.
-
On a bit of a tangent - my husband likes to listen to the radio to get himself to sleep, but I need absolute quiet. So I got him a 'soundasleep pillow' for christmas. Its a normal pillow with a little speaker embedded in it and a wire that plugs into the headphone socket of ipods etc. Its fantastic! He can hear the radio perfectly while I can't hear a thing. He sets his ipod to switch off after a certain time and we're away. [|)]zzzzzzzz

Reading this thread has sent me to sle..e...e.p...ZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz !!

S-S-SH he has definitely nodded off. Lets all tip-toe away.

WHY?
