I stumbled across this last year. It made me smile (sort of), but I didn't quite know what to do with it at the time. But it's still buried away on the number 10 website. It's a podcast which records what happened when this man...
...met this man...
...on a plane.
And I'm inclined to think that it's a lesson to all of us that sometimes it pays just to keep your mouth shut.
What do you think, Richard?


Well, I'm glad you ask, David. I say that it just goes to prove my theory that fame is our dominant master. When two famous men meet on a plane and discuss nothing of interest it becomes interesting because of who they are. Furthermore, isn’t it odd that Blair’s years, which began with great hopes for the rise of a meritocracy, actually produced an ever more insular world of London based media and celebrity?
