 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.
