Did anyone see Question Time the other night from Cambridge I think?

I have never seen Will Self the writer on TV before but he was brilliant to watch, so eloquent and open with his comments and cut that stupid cow Katie (ex-apprentice candidate) down to size as did several others.

I really enjoyed hearing him talk and if you didn't see it I highly recommended visiting BBC I-Player and see him talk.

I uually catch it but to be honest when I saw the panel I wasn't impressed so gave it a miss. I have seen Will Self on the programme before and he seemed a bit of a twit to me.

But on your recommendation I'll give it a watch.

I did too. I've never been impressed by Will Self, who always seems to me to be tripping over himself trying to be clever. The programme didn't change my opinion. The only panellist who showed any sort of spark was Edwina Curry, and the audience appeared to be made up of muppets.

Was it as good as this?

Haha! And my excuse is that I started watching it at 3.15am because I couldn't sleep!

Yea, things appear a bit different at that time of the day or should I say night. I posted at 2.44am!
