Someday We'll Look Back On This Moment

Even The 'today' Programme Involves A Balance Between The Worthy-but-heavy Items With The Worthless-but-entertainingly-light Ones.

All Socio-political Phenomena In The U.k. Come Laden With The Baggage Of A Class-based Theory Or Two Attached To Them. In The Case Of Gay Tories, There Is One Particularly Silly Variant Of The Category, Which Asserts That Gayness Is Bred In Public Schools And Thus Fits With Conservatism Like Hand In Glove.

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.

Men Don't Know Much About Women. We Do Know When They're Happy. We Know When They're Crying, And We Know When They're Pissed Off. We Just Don't Know In What Order These Are Gonna Come At Us.

I Rarely Come Away From Presenting The 'today' Programme Without Some Sense Of Regret. There Is Always Some Question That I Should Have Asked, Or Some Point That I Should Have Made. This Is Annoying But Not Surprising. Perfection Is Hard To Achieve In A Three-hour Live Programme.
