Even The 'today' Programme Involves

The Key Thing About Me Is That I'm Really Not Very Interesting.

Although Being Economics Editor Sounds Impressive, It Does Not Mean I Actually Edit Anything. It Mainly Reflects Two Decades Of Title-inflation At The Bbc, Which Has Given Ever More Status To Senior Reporters, Presumably Because It Is Cheaper To Do That Than To Offer Higher Pay.

I've Never Enjoyed Sleep As Much Until I Got The 'today' Job. There Is Something About Early Sleep That's Much Better Than Late Sleep. I Feel Myself Going To Sleep; I Don't Just Plonk My Head On The Pillow. It's A Sort Of Winding-down Thing.

Reducing Every Issue To An Argument Can Become Stale But It's Often A Very Good Way Of Clarifying Issues.
