This is a very enjoyable compilation of clips of British comedy. I was especially pleased that it included "Flying Sheep" by Monty Python. My main complaint is that this gives you an appetite for more!

I was brought up on BBC comedy, mostly on the television, although as a child I regularly listen to the radio as well. In most of these clips I can close my eyes and picture the scene, as I have already seen them on TV years ago. It was nice to be reminded of them again and more would be better. Great clips, wish there were more!!

Audio Books give enjoyment in so many ways and now with the rising use and functionality of the internet it is extremely easy to download and obtain. Downloadable audio books usually come in mp3 format or wma, this means that you can use the file anyway you want. You can burn it onto a CD so you can listen to it while driving to work or you can put it on an mp3 player and listen to it anywhere you want.
The space Audiobooks take up is very minimal, normal paperback books are a real space taker and can make a house look really cluttered. A number of audio book stores online offer several free titles to get used to the downloading system that is in place and also gives you a taster of what they are actually like. There is one subject where audio books come into their own however and that is learning languages.
Learning this way is extremely effective, especially if you are studying in your own country. They give you the opportunity to listen to how words are pronounced by native speakers and help with those tricky sounds that you may not have in your native tongue.
