   Channel Four TV News - 12/Feb/1999   
      
   Certainty level: 100%   
      
   I am positively, utterly, completely sure this item is about me. It's a bit   
   subtle so the objective reader might not understand my certainty. Here is   
   what happened. I was watching Channel Four News with Jon Snow, on the day   
   Clinton "got off" (as it were) in the Monica-gate scandal. Snow said;   
      
   "[and we're anticipating that the President himself will make his] first   
   comments after the trial in which he has now been cleared at around half-   
   past seven. So we'll have more on the historic judgment, we'll also be   
   considering [starts smiling] the winners and losers in this whole sorry   
   saga. Now further doubts have been...."   
      
   When Snow said "half-past seven", I looked at the clock on the mantelpiece   
   above the TV. Snow saw my glance, and in reaction to my glance at the clock,   
   smiled. I think he was smiling at what he perceived as my self-importance.   
      
   Usually when newscasters or radio presenters laugh at me, there is an excuse   
   for their laughter; usually they manage to find some reason for my   
   being "funny"; their amusement is blamed on me; it is my "fault" they are   
   laughing. And so it was with this instance; Jon Snow thought it was funny   
   that I should be so interested in seeing Clinton, and his half-smile while   
   reading the words "winners and losers" expresses that.   
      
   I wrote to Snow at ITN shortly after this broadcast to ask him about his   
   behaviour; of course, he didn't reply.
