@xvaughanx thanks, interesting. In what way?

[AcademyAwardsGirl]

Howard. lol.

[doubledeckers]

Howard Pintus - get it right! LOL

[RobinScott93]

LOL! I couldn't stop laughing after watching this. He's in the studio, no, he's dead, no, he's won a Nobel prize. Haha

[mramo]

So let me get this straight. Sky News is being joined by a dead playwright called Harold Pinter who has just won the Nobel prize? Ok that makes sense! haha

[tobo86]

Dead, noble prize ... I didn't realise there was a difference. No big deal really

[hellesterne]

Pinter himself would have laughed louder than any of us. But to be serious (for a bit longer) this reveals starkly the terrifying ignorance of newscasters who, because they daily make pronouncements on the world scene, are generally given much too much respect (in my view). In Canada one or two suffer from a genuine “folie de grandeur," presumably because they occasionally interview famous people.
