you can't say anything unless it sounds like a narrator on the ABC.
lol... that reminds me of
Peter Holland who used to read the ABC Channel 2 news in Perth at 7pm.
One evening in 1991 I was waiting to catch a bus home at the stop in Adelaide Terrace opposite Fairlanes Bowl (which was next door to the ABC studios).
Anyway... it was about 7:35pm and I saw this man carrying a briefcase crossing the road and I knew it was Peter Holland as soon as I saw him (he must have just finished work).
He came up to me at the bus stop, said hello and asked me if I'd seen the 306 bus.
I said "it just went past a couple of minutes ago" and he said
"Ah, f--- it!!!" (the buses only ran about every half hour at that time of the evening back in those days from memory).
I had to struggle really hard not to burst out laughing because up until then I'd only seen him read the news on TV and he was always so eloquent and composed when he was doing it.
The bus I was waiting for came a minute or two later but I was still chuckling to myself all the way home.
This is Peter Holland some years later (about 1998 I believe) after he'd left the ABC and gone to Channel 9.
