Oh man, that was you?

;) Just kidding - don't worry about it - I've made a fool of myself in public about a hundred times in the last 33 years, and I'm sure I will again. It happens, as even the pros will tell you. I've seen reporters completely lose it when they meet a celebrity or something - so even the people that do this for a living do embarrassing things still.

At least you can say you appeared on BBC Radio!

Maybe the points you really wanted to make were the stupid ones. Just kidding. Can you find a RealAudio link to what you said. Maybe it's not as bad as it felt.

Don't sweat it. Most times it's a lot worse in your head than it actually was. You were probably fine.

As a side note, you may want to edit the topic to avoid upsetting anyone. Topics with words like that in them tend to get locked/deleted.

What's fun is saying "fvck off!" live on air. Sure there is like a 6 second delay and they block it out, but you gotta keep em on their toes ;)
