Hey Dandarez, have you been Head of the FT Group, and a non exec at HSBC and Pepsico? I haven't, but Rona Fairhead has. But, oh, she only got the BBC job because she's a woman. No doubt she only got those other gigs because she's a woman, too. After all, if someone says that something might happen, and it does happen, that's conclusive proof that it was always going to happen, isn't it?

No, of course not! But you misinterpreted me. I have no view either way!

I was talking about Conor Burns' accusation about bias.

However, just because Rona Fairhead (I'd have my name changed by deed poll if I was her) gets the job means BA to most people, inc me, they really couldn't care less. Nobody thinks the BBC Trust will change or make 'our' lives better. That's what 'we' care about.

Mind you, I wouldn't have minded her remuneration at Pepsico in 2012. Just under $800,000.

As for women, my wife earns more than me! Then again I don't work as hard, I'm a lazy bugger that just reads and publishes.

Oh don't nit pick.

A thread head that mislead you? I'm sorry.

It was half-eleven, I'd had too many Hobgoblins...
ask for the post to be deleted or just pretend it's a Wail heading, or shall I just ask my wife to give me a slap?

Ah, but what if there is a better qualified slapper?

Now you've lost all your credibility (if you had any of course).

...you're now sounding like one Mr Bloom and his sluts comment.

Sorry to bring this one up again. Naturally, I responded 'Of course not'.

I can now further add that neither have I ever been accused of money-laundering!

You couldn't make it up.
