As a reporter and presenter I've had to bribe my way across the Montenegro/Serbia border to report the toppling of Milosevic, I've interviewed the Estonian President (in his sauna), Basque terrorists, Swedish prostitutes, offended one of the best chefs by saying I fancied a good burger during his 26-course meal and interviewed Benny Andersson of Abba.
