Stephen one of your most interesting Blog entries to date, thanks for the link and your comments.

As serious as the conversation was the undercurrent of humour made the whole scenario so much more palatable. Ed’s comment that "It was much worse for my sister Ophelia!" was very entertaining.

Oh yes and of course the best part by far was when you stumped Neuberger (@ around 30:54, 30) well done!

Sorry Stephen, but when I saw that arrogant and obnoxious person Ed Balls was also on the show I couldn't bring myself to listen.

I've only ever heard Mr. Pollard's voice on one other occasion and that was when he was ordering a meal. I can't say I was very impressed, but, then again, there was virtually nothing to be impressed about. However, listening to this, I was absolutely bowled over. He would make a superb radio broadcaster.

Broadcaster is a grand idea, though the Tory benches seem like a better place for a man of his talents.

So Stephen, is taking part in Any Questions as painful as listening to it? Can you tell what sort of question someone is about to ask just by looking at them?

Always nice to have a pessimist but I still think it was entertaining, keep up the good work Pollard.
