Did anyone else hear Kirsan on Radion 4 News yesterday?
Apparently he had a phone call from Gaddafi and was keen to tell the media about it. He was described as President of the Internation Chess Federation as well as his own republic. I heard the clip on the PM programme at about 5.10pm.

Brief conversation starting at 8:25 into the programme. No context given as to why Gaddafi should be phoning Ilyumzhinov.

Perhaps MG was seeking an asylum and that he and KI could ride off into the sunset seeking happiness together?Ian Kingston wrote:No context given as to why Gaddafi should be phoning Ilyumzhinov.

An alternative explanation is that MG was a contestant on "Celebrity Who Wants to be a Millionaire?"Ian Kingston wrote: No context given as to why Gaddafi should be phoning Ilyumzhinov.

In which case he'll need to go 50:50 now. Asking the audience might not get him the answer he wants.John Upham wrote:An alternative explanation is that MG was a contestant on "Celebrity Who Wants to be a Millionaire?"Ian Kingston wrote: No context given as to why Gaddafi should be phoning Ilyumzhinov.
