Whew. Don't think I made too many dumb mistakes. Was annoyed on way home that I had not said this and not rebutted that. Basically, I don't think I spoke much at all. I was reluctant to interrupt people, although that's part of the game. I never thought of myself as too polite before.
I didn't get to meet Tom McGurk, as he was on the phone, but the other two panelists, Sian Ferguson and Paul MacDonnell, were very nice. I was nearly half an hour early and Sian was there already. The novices.
To be honest, I can't say how I (or either of the other two) did because I was just so obsessed with not saying anything stupid. I hope I succeeded on that one.
