I wanted him to break into the David Brent dance.


so a supposed sign language interpreter who possibly has schizophrenia was allowed to interpret at a funeral involving many of the world's leaders?

I bet Mandela probably is smiling right now...

"Thamsanqa Jantjie, 34, who has been violent in the past and suffers from schizophrenia, said that his hallucinations began while he was interpreting and that he tried not to panic because there were 'armed policemen around me.'
He added that he was once hospitalized in a mental health facility for more than one year."

PMSL - solid background checks then!

This guy was good at bluffing it,but not as good as Guy Goma on the BBC a couple of years ago,he was a taxi driver who turned up at the tv studio to pick up a fare,someone comes out looking for someone called Guy Kewney who worked for Apple,he hears the name Guy and puts his hand up,next thing he knows he`s on live tv,just watch his face at the start.

Agreed

It was a mistake going there in the first place!

Imagine what would have happened if there were no colonies at all, and no imorted hebrews to other countries


Would we have Hip-Hop? Would KFC flourish? etc

LOL at the face at the start! :D

Guy Goma was waiting on a job interview at the BBC when a receptionist wandered in and asked for "Guy."

Of course, she was looking for Guy Kewney, who was going on air to speak about Apple and the Beatles suing each other...

Goma apparently thought this was part of his job interview, and managed to show some surprising restraint considering how completely irrelevant the interview questions for Supply Manager were getting."
