It's all just a question of sports (reporting)

As this is the time of year, when everybody feels justified in settling back to cast a lazy eye back over the last 12 months, I thought I’d do the same, and give readers a chance to walk in my Chelsea boots by offering them a selection from the questions I faced in the last year.

I’m sure you’ll be able to guess who was asking them — me, sometimes, though I was the target rather than the interrogator most of the time — and what the precise context was.

Who are you? Why are you here? What do you want to know that for? What wifi code? Where’s your pass? Who are you with? Where did you park? Why did you park there? Don’t you know where you’re supposed to park? Where’s your pass? Not that pass, this year’s pass? There? No, that’s the press box, who sits there anyway?
