Be slack-jawed in amazement at an ill-prepared performance!
Thrill to the doings of the doughty duo!
Swoon to Roger Bolton being more effective than a dead sheep!

Oh Dear Again.
I listened earlier and have to say I thought it was a very poor and somewhat arrogant performance. I particularly thought his example of having all DID's online was irrelevant to the discussion and just shoved in for something to say.
I thought Roger Bolton pretty ineffective but he did try a bit.

"Doughty duo" is right - just heard it with the Aged Ps, all most impressed by the phone-MLers at the start, and by the woman whose name I didn't get who was excellently clear, and especially by the Great Steve Killick with his fabulous "How much money?" question.
Shame the listeners were the only people listening, really. That Nigel most certainly wasn't.
Listened with the o/h, who doesn't post here and has never heard of the slippery Nigel.
With a wrinkled brow, and look on his face as though he had been offered an earthworm sandwich he asked "Who the hell is that ignorant a***hole?'

"Who the hell is that ignorant a***hole?'Â I think I may embroider a sampler of that to hang above my computer screen.

Someone with a made-up job title and no social skills.
I bet the Beeb could save tens of millions if they disbanded the Making-up Fancy Job Titles Team.
I always knew you were a tippy top person, Sweets, but I totally heart Mr Feet now.
Ignorant, arrogant a***hole is as close a description for that performance as is possible.
I'll put a stitch in your sampler, Vints. Anytime.

< I would like to know what an "Interactive Editor" is? >
Someone whose job is to identify forums in which people may interact. Then close them down at once.
What an abysmal performance - and what a contrast to the clear and measured comments from our ML representatives, well done to them and to the ML'ers who were featured in the phone calls at the beginning.
It was clear that the man has never spent any time at all in here or he would not have come so ill-prepared - he plainly doesn't know ML and it's inhabitants at all, and obviously did not expect such a well thought out and articulate opposition

I wonder why Feedback didn't use *my* voicemail message. Probably something to do with profanity, I suppose.
