It was the same time, the great Andrew Neil spent time talking to me (and agreeing with me. ) while he was sitting with an attractive blond waiting for a Chinese takeaway.

Later that night, I was about to enter my friend's nightclub in a mixed party, when a Channel 4 Outside Broadcasting team - who were carrying out street interviews - stopped me and asked if I could comment on some political shet (I can't even remember what ) and I had a 10 minute 'rant' which drew great applause from the growing crowd AND the TV crew, but guess what Arista -- NONE of it was broadcast. The political truth hurts uh?

Happy days.
