Mangled sayings of Dubya inspire brilliant new parlour game

[Benbow]

In the UK, BBC Radio 4 is currently broadcasting a new series of "I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue" on Monday evenings. The comedy writers have mined a deep vein of humour using the sayings of the current American president, even funnier than Great Speeches as PowerPoint Presentations (Gettysburg Address, etc).

Eg GWB said something like, "I know that humans and fish ..." - stop there and invite game participants to finish the sentence, eg "can be legally married in France". (In fact he, rather surrealistically, said that humans and fish could co-exist peacefully.)

For the next 7 days, you can listen to this evening's edition here - follow the Listen Again link, in the second column from the left -

- and that "round" appears about 20 minutes into the half-hour show.

1. A voice with a brittish accent just says...

"Sorry we can't bring you the program you requested"

2. Have you also tried the "Live Feed" link on the righthand side

Here it is still only 7.45pm - the programme finished at 6.30pm - and perhaps it doesn't become Listen Again immediately. (If it doesn't work by tomorrow, I will ring or e-mail the Beeb and find out why.)

4. guess i'll just have to wait

5. "due to maintenance downtime or capacity problems"

is the reason why the programme is not available at the moment.
