"We are all grateful for our iron lungs"

I am privileged to live in a world that constantly seeks to amuse me and often succeeds. My favourite story of the week was one of those things that make me laugh out loud while lying in bed in the middle of the night.
So this Congolese guy is at the BBC studio looking for a job and he's waiting for an interview. Then a producer comes down looking for an expert due to give his professional opinion on a recent court case between apple corporation and the apple recording label which the former won. Unfortunately the Congolese guy shared the same first name and before you could say 'mama nangaye' he somehow found himself live on TV thinking he was doing his interview. The expression on his face was totally priceless when the woman asked him the implications of the case- he looked first like he was about to scream and then as if he had swallowed a fishbone all in the space of less than a second. I can't remember the last time I saw so many confused and terrified facial expressions crammed on the same face in such a tiny space of time.
So the guy is trapped on air, but credit to him he didn't just run away screaming. He answered three questions before the cameras cut away, but what he said was comic gold and I will put it up here for future generations. Here was his reaction word for word:
(asked if he was suprised by the verdict)
"I am very suprised to see this verdict to come on me because I was not expecting that. When I came they told me something else and I am coming"
(then he was asked if more people would now be downloading online)
"Actually if you can walk everywhere you are going to see a lot of people downloading the internet and the website and everything they want. But I think it is much better for development to inform people what they want and to get the easy way and so faster if they are looking for it"
Fantastic- this might be the first time I have considered nonsense to be poetry. It was such a wonderful piece of nothingness and complete rubbish that it was almost beautiful. I would love to meet this Guy Goma chap. He's already become something of a star and I wish him all the best.

Meanwhile relief with my jurisprudence exam- the three questions I had been dreading did not even make an appearance and to say I was relieved was an understatement. After tomorrow's legal history- which is a guaranteed nightmare and I would rather undergo a tooth extraction without anaesthetic than face that exam- I will feel as if I'm done even if I've got International law on Monday. Should I immediately get drunk or should I stay in with the Terry Pratchett and just curl up in bed with tea, biscuits and my novel? Better yet I could read the novel while downing some alchohol thereby achieving a nice balance. I've been sober for more than two months and I'm beginning to see the world a bit too clearly for my liking. There is such a thing as too much sanity. Mind you I'm not there yet, as my recent conversation with Leo can testify.

Champions Legaue final: Great game, Barcelona deserved to win. What was Henry moaning about? This is the first time I've seen him being less of a gentleman in either victory or defeat. Ronaldinho was a bit poor in the game and I remembered what he said when someone once asked him why he smiled so much.
"Do you think I've got a choice with this many teeth?" He replied.
