I've been rather interested to note Ollie's level of enthusiasm over the past few weeks regarding his radio journalism - this idea of randomly walking up to people and asking their opinion on things. He really seems to have a natural flair for it, and as I've always said, there aren't many people who don't like him (apparently that's the nicest thing anyone had said to him all day when I spoke to him earlier, so I'll put it in type too :)). All I manage to do is tell random grumpy men in "quiet coaches" on trains to shut up. Ollie seems to think that takes more balls, but I'd never be able to do the former. I would crumble at the thought of asking someone, "so, do you like the new bus service" and fear their absuive reply. I think this disposition developed a year or so ago when I handed out leaflets for the gym in Oxford. We were standing by a display in the Westgate Centre, with a rowing machine in front of us (anyone who wanted a try, could give it a go). I handed this gentleman a leaflet and he then lanuched into a ten minute rant on how awful gyms are and what was the point of exercising if you weren't going anywere: fair point, but it scared me. Never again will I hand out leaflets if I can help it. Anyway, all of this ramble is building up to saying that I finally understand Ollie's enthusiasm, his passion and the buzz he gets from having a "scoop". And on that ambiguous note, I leave you hanging.
