BBC loses feed during State of the Union address

Black screens all of a sudden at 2:55 on BBC News 24 while Bush babbles on about Iraq. Got it back before Katty Kay managed to finish her apology.

Highly impressed with the BBC coverage before the speech. Much better than Sky News where the guy presenting in London admitted on air that he hadn't a clue who many of the people walking into Congress ahead of the President were.

Who cares? It's only that stupid brianless idiot George Bush. If it were someone respectable such as Nelson Mandela, then I would understand your concern.

Actually, if anything this is postive, the less people here of George 'idiot' Bush the better.

Right see actually winnie, Bush may be an arse but he's a rather important one so generally important speeches by important arses do merit news coverage.

Caught the bug too winifred?

Sorry, should have been spelt 'brainless'.

See, I haven't got the George Bush bug anymore.

I won't point out the other glaring error in your original post then.

OK. 'here' should be 'hear'.

Now I haven't got the bug anymore.

Are you positive about that?

Yes.

I wouldn't be so sure.

You're right to be sceptical, anymore is another mistake. It's not one word but two. It should read 'any more'.

Just what the hell makes Nelson Mandela "respectable"??
