The Inside Man

It has come to my attention that a fellow Scottish blogger will be on this Thursday's Question Time live from London (City! City!).

Step forward Fred Barboo.

The line-up for this particular show is:

Des Browne (boooo!)
William Hague (hooray!)
Paddy Ashdown (come and 'av a go if you think your hard enuf!)
Richard Littlejohn (Who are ya!? Who are ya?!)
Saffron Burrows (she's got a pine, apple, on her head; she's got a pine, apple....)

Anyway, coming back from the football terraces and back into real life, it seems dear Fred is stuck for his second question. Well, not so much stuck as he's an incredibly bright lad, but he is open to ideas so wishes to spread the brainstorming far and wide to increase his chances of being called upon by the legendary David Dimbleby (the referees a w*****r!).

Hence this post in gathering ideas for a question to ask the panel. Not that the flagpole that is SNP Tactical Voting commands the greatest of attention so, with that in mind, please do salute this post in the comments section if you get the chance so we can be stronger together. (United! United!)

And if you do happen to get asked the question Mr Barboo, do us a favour will you? Yes, that's right, altogether now...

"Freddy, freddy, give us a wave, give us a wave, give us a wave......"




EDIT: Can you tell I'm excited about the Man Utd vs Barcelona showdown tonight?

EDIT 2 : If Saffron Burrows turns out to be someone other than the tall one from Steps or the lead singer from M People, then I apologise for suggesting that she has a pineapple on her head. Those who have seen Skinner and Baddiel's Fantasy Football League may understand.

Good man Jeff, much appreciated...

This may very well blow my well constructed cover. I suppose this is one of the prices of fame.

All suggestions gratefully received so...

...what's your beef callers...?

Jeff said...

Apologies for the lack of suggestions myself, I am woefully poor at such things.

On the simple question of picking a team name for a pub quiz I usually rack my brains for 15 minutes, perhaps even walking round the block a few times with my head tilted to the skies asking fruitlessly to the heavens "a team name?", before finally ending up with, with, ummm, I don't know, something like "Team A"....

But we'll see what the (*cough*) 'masses' bring to the table...

As for your cover, maybe you should wear a fake 'tache and some oversized sunglasses, then noone will know it's you. (To be fair, the name in the subtitles might give it away!)

Jeff said...

Ok, here goes:

"Will the London Olympics be good value for money?"

"If you had to be a running mate for one of the American Presidential candidates, who would you rather run alongside?"

"Is Scottish independence now inevitable?" (probably not a hot topic in London to be fair)

Stephen Glenn said...

Jeff I think this is most likely the Saffron Burrows in question.

Close friend of Tony Benn, daughter of socialists, English born star of Boston Legal. A socialist herself, more likely than Steps or M People participation.

hang on didn't they resolve the writers strike? Is it hiatus season already?

By the by...

...I was feeling guilty last night for not highlighting how well written and amusing this post was.

It brought a wide smile to my face...
