the news as it happens

so last night i was in a pub and friend were talking about how madonna and guy's divorce is the main story despite the world falling apart. so i say 'yeah, this morning i heard on the news that a plane in turkey was hi-jacked, so i went straight to the bbc website but it wasn't reported, what's wrong with them?'. and then this guy sitting alone at the table next to ours, replied 'well, i was working at the bbc this morning when the news broke, but by the time we were ready to put it online the whole hijack was called off'.

that shut me up.

either totally made his day or totally ruined his day.
