Occult or obvious...

Is there other life out there?...or down here already with us? David Cameron doesn't know but I think he showed what he's really like when confronted with the none-too-obvious: watch the video and read the comments...


For me two stand out: Martin Callahan (MEP) said "It is incredibly hard to just stand up in front of an audience of the general public (anyone could come, there was no attempt to fix attendance) and invite questions on any topic. Any slip-up would be immediately gleefully reported by the watching media. I don't want to appear a DC sycophant but he really did perform superbly." [my emphasis]

...followed by the comment from Rod Sellers:

"Yes - very impressed with his handling. Not least in not isolating the questioner as he so easily could have done. It is often the 'off the wall' questions that reveal the real person behind the performer."

Indeed. Also note the comment from the question-asker (and video maker) himself...and worth listening to his introduction on his own website. [RichPlanet]...perhaps worth reading more!

You want the truth, you can't handle the truth!

Well done DC, fair play that he apologised to the nutter, sorry Ufologist, in the room. Don't ask me if I believe in other life forms I'm an atheist - all I know is that most Saturdays it appears that somebody has sucked Carlton Cole's brains out and replaced them with screwed up copies of Woodworker Monthly.

Ha! Yes, I think the apology defused the the questioner's peeved reaction when DC's first response was the Mandy joke.

Re Cole...he's got me a good few points in the Fantasy Football (where I'm wiping the floor with the opposition...ahem) although he may get changed soon.

Is there other life out there? Have a read of Need To Know by Timothy Good.

Good answer by DC.
