The BBC, pillars of integrity
June 28th, 2006 | Published in Interesting Links | 1 Comment
I was just checking the news on the BBC site today, which is odd because I was sat near the TV, and I looked at the live update of the Federer vs Henman, which is even weirder because I knew that the match would be live on BBC1, and the TV was mere feet away. It’s a good thing that I did look at it because I got the most awesome text commentary that had McEnroe & Castle’s efforts beat easily. Sample.
On Henman Hill, excited teenagers gather round the BBC’s Rishi Persaud to tell him how Federer can still be beaten. Few pearls of wisdom are given - the hot sun and underage drinking have combined to leave them a touch short of genuine insight.
Amazing!

Ha ha ha .. I know I’m late to the party but meh….
I read through the BBC thingy… and saw by far a funnier quote.. well in my opinion anyway….
“So Henman is going out of Wimbledon, the England cricket team is being thrashed by Sri Lanka and the rugby team has just come back from Australia with its tail between its legs. It’s up to you to save the nation’s sporting summer, Wayne…”
and we all know what happened there!!!
