Imagine

I enjoyed the interviews with people on Alan Yentob’s Imagine on the world wide web.

But there was something intensely annoying about his own pieces. Especially the way he had set pieces with a 23 year old helper who set up his livejournal for him.

His helper Tony said he didn’t even own a TV and Yentob said ‘thats nothing to be proud off’ well Mr Yentob there is nothing to be proud that you need to have a 23 year to setup your blog.

I’m sure it was designed to appeal to an older generation than me but I still found Yentob very annoying.

Skype Accent

I phoned a hotel in Tallinn via Skype, and recognised the accent?

Having never spoken to an Estonian I wondered how this could be, then I thought for a second and realised it was from the Skype Test Call.

I never thought of her as Estonian.

Weird calling with Skype to its home.
