I was having a beer with my late Dad, a veteran of the Falklands, in one of the bars in the Guildhall Square in Pompey. Outside on the Guildhall steps a bunch of Lefties, probably about 50-80 of them were on the steps of the Guildhall protesting against the imminent Iraq War. A Local News BBC crew were on the opposite side of the Square waiting to go live with a report on the protest. Now partly because me and my Dad were in agreement that these people didn't represent how the majority of Portsmouth people were feeling, and partly because at the time I had been set a challenge of appearing on TV on every major Broadcaster (I still have Channel 5 to go to complete the set), I loitered behind the reporter waiting patiently for him to go on air. When he did I seized my chance, nudged him out the way and started telling the camera that basically the people they could see protesting behind me were clueless dicks and we should indeed invade Iraq. According to a bunch of Phone calls I received from mates afterwards I got 10-15 secs airtime before they cut back to the studio.

So thanks a lot Tony Blair...13 years ago you made me look like a complete Mug live on TV for 15 secs!
