--Year of public speaking. --Diet --Other material from column

Beta Male column
This column appears in the last page of The Times magazine on Saturday. Crampton has been writing this column since xxxx. As the title might suggest, recurring themes have been his sense of underachievement as a man in the modern world [cite]

In 2008 he used the column to advertise his wish to gain practice in public speaking, "not because I was any good, but because I wasn’t and wanted to be...At the risk of humiliation I want to come to talk to your school, business, darts team, whatever. I do not require, nor indeed do I merit, any payment.” He received more than 400 requests . He subsequently described his experiences of speaking at Caistor Grammar School in Lincolnshire, Highbury Grove School in North London, a training day in Bath, a Rotary Club, a women’s group, a prison, a church sermon, as a best man at a wedding and delivering a eulogy at a family funeral.

Interviews
His past interviewees include David Cameron, Paul McCartney Kate Winslet and John Terry, appearing in The Times shortly after Terry was dropped as England Football Captain.
