Just overheard this on the BBC 24hour Wales channel that has been broadcasting live footage of a lost 18ft whale non stop for the last 2 days whilst ignoring the fact that 5million people in the horn of Africa are facing immediate stavation through famine (but who cares about that? – whales are cuter)

Newsreader (running out of something new to say) : Biology expert, can you just give us an idea of what the people next to the whale might be doing, what they might be saying to it to calm it down?

Biology Expert: Well, I’m afraid I don’t know what on earth you are talking about Peter because no one I know speaks the language of whales.

Its called Welsh, isn’t it?
