So cute I could pinch a gnome’s cheeks

NS October 10th, 2007

Tonight on Channel 4 News, from anchor John Snow after hearing a live report from a field correspondent who was having to shout over traffic passing by in the background:

“That was _____ reporting live, over a rather frightful din.”

A frightful din. Who says that?

    I don’t know, “din” is a cool word. But “frightful din” does sound like he had tea and crumpets waiting for him off camera.

    P.S. I tagged you today, for lack of a better word.

    Aimee: yeah, I bet John Snow totally eats tea and crumpets as soon as the cameras stop rolling. Or maybe scones with clotted cream and jam. Nah, too messy. Gotta be crumpets. And thanks for the tag, I’m very flattered!
