   Dude!!!

   I was having a coffee, trying to wake up and settle down to work when I thought I heard your unmistakable tones… I should have known, a Cairo debate on the “blogosphere” - it had to be you… I’m listening to the broadcast right now!! I’m sorry, the bbc can be so amateur sometimes… where did they find that bunch of inarticulate ideologues? Nice one, even though “Julian Marshalllllll” interrupted your rant you still blew them away…

   Keep it up… and get in touch sometime… Have fun in California, I have a friend from San Francisco who’s just moved back from London, she’ll be there for a couple of weeks so let me know if you want an alternative tour guide…

   Congratulations. You and Rabab El Mahdi slaughtered them.
   It’s a bit disappointing, though, that the BBC couldn’t find a real jackbooted hardliner for you guys to debate.

   There should have been one of Gamal Mubarak’s right-hand-men debating on the other side, but according to the BBC guys he initially accepted to appear and then “escaped” and ignored their phone calls.. Never mind, next time we’ll debate Jimmi himself hopefully:)
