Here’s what happens when you have an interview.

First, the newspaper people turn out to be lovely and fun people, and you have a good old yack about yourself and what you’re doing.

Second, after the interview, you lay awake at night wondering what unfortunate things you might have said that they’ll quote out of context or otherwise mangle.

Then, when the article comes out, you tell yourself to make sure they use a tape recorder next time so they’ll get all the quotes right.

Such is the case with the latest interview in the Post on the swearing course. The publicity’s great, but really about half the quotes seem reconstructed from memory.

Also, I guessed that they’d put the atheist angle right up front. Never mind — some people will be shocked, but I’ve already come out to my mom and sister, so it’s a good time to go public.

The photo makes a little more sense if you realise that the small white object on the right is a bar of soap. It seemed funny at the time.

Well, not bad coverage, and good practice for working with the media. They did spell my name right.
