That's INTERNATIONALLY KNOWN Blowhard To You, Pal.

I got an e-mail this morning from a very nice young lady from the BBC World Service who'd seen the column about Libya below and wanted to know if I'd be willing to appear on their "World Have Your Say" program (or as they say "programme'). Actually, what she said was that they were "keen to speak to you about your possible participation on our radio show,"

Sure, said I, and next thing I know, I'm on the radio (or as they say, "wireless"). You can catch the podcast of the show here. I come in about 27:50, so you can skip all the boring stuff. There's a second hour, but it doesn't appear to be up yet.

Didn't get a huge block of airtime; they kept cutting back to people who were actually in Libya and theoretically had some idea of what was going on. I say theoretically, because after listening, I'm now more uncertain than ever about what's going on, which makes me even more determined that we should have stayed the hell out of this.

I was mentioned on BBC 6 Music a couple times after sending in email comments. I don't have a link to an archive though and doubt the show would still be available anyway.
