    Anyone see him on the news to the unemployed woman who was given a book, " so a simple book a simple book is so important for you aren't you great give me a hug"

    I wish they all could be one of Barts people.

    He makes me cringe so much.

    That's what you get for inviting him into your house... just distract him with something shiny and throw it out your front door.

    Problem solved!

    he seems to be sent over to colour pieces rather then actual news, meanwhile rte continue to report everything the president says as gospel

    Twas funny how he sort of handed her the book but then took it out of her hand again. A 'simple 'oul book'. "Good for You" :pac:

    That reminds me. I must make a contribution to the "Celebrities I'd like to punch in the face" thread over on After Hours.

    Charlie Bird appears to have a monumental ego. I remember him being flown into Thailand after the tsunami a few years back, and the main point of his report was that he had to live in a tent, as the hotels were gone. Oh the humanity.

    But people would still be complaining that they aren't real celebrities, and asking where's Bono.
