Media appearance debrief (or, "My name iz pastede on [wrong] yay!!!")

So (for those of you who mailed to ask) here’s the checklist for that appearance on Irish national TV, as per my predictions:

(1) (Studio car lateness?) Extreme: never got here at all: broke down somewhere near Naas. Local taxi company had to be recruited at last moment. (2) (Driver lost?) Didn’t really have a fair chance: see 1. (3) (Haircut?) Turned out OK. (4) (Stuff to wear?) Did OK too. (5) (Thing I really should have expected to go wrong but didn’t find out about until Peter called me afterwards?) This.

So much for my fifteen minutes of fame. 🙂

Oh well. We all had a good time.
