Walsingham Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 http://img.dailymail.co.uk/video/cabbie.wmv The BBC mistakenly bring the cab driver sent to get a technology 'expert' onto the set. The thing I love is that despite his trouble with English he basically gets across the key points. Either he's a smart cookie, or the experts talk toffee. :D "It wasn't lies. It was just... bull****"." -Elwood Blues tarna's dead; processing... complete. Disappointed by Universe. RIP Hades/Sand/etc. Here's hoping your next alt has a harp.

213374U Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 Yeah, I saw this in the news. They also showed a picture of the actual expert. Nice how nobody noticed that the white, middle-aged, thin technology expert they were expecting had somehow turned into a large, young black fellow. - When he is best, he is a little worse than a man, and when he is worst, he is little better than a beast.

Judge Hades Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 Well, that's british news. In America the News service gains the information before anyone else, including government intelligence. In Britain, the news service is just oblivious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gorth Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 A pro actor couldn't have handled it better than the poor guy, and yes his expression at the beginning is priceless. I would still prefer BBC as my news provider over any other news service in the world though “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would surely suffice.” - Albert Einstein Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
