Tomorrow!

OK, this is small beer but, for the record ...

I was invited to appear on The Nolan Show on BBC Radio Ulster yesterday. Naturally, I accepted, but after waiting, and waiting, for a call that never came, I received a text:

Apologies that we couldn't get to you this morning, the lead story just overran unfortunately. Just wondering how you are fixed for tomorrow?

Fair enough, that happens, so I happily made myself available again and this morning I waited ... and waited. Eventually I sent them a text:

Are you doing this story?

Reply:

Finding out ... one mo ...

Then:

Sadly not. Sorry to ask again but same time tomorrow?

Hmmm.

Talking of interviews, I was also sounded out about going on GB News on Monday night.

I had a chat with Dan Wootton's producer and, to be fair, it was made clear it was a preliminary enquiry only.

A few hours later I received a follow up text:

Thanks for speaking earlier and thank you for being available. Sadly we're not the item anymore. Hopefully another time though.

At least they didn't leave me hanging. Given subsequent developments, however, I may have dodged a bullet!

Update: I am now scheduled to be on BBC Radio Ulster at 10.00am tomorrow (Thursday).
