15 minutes of fame.....lost.
Despite the fact that more than 70% of my waking life is spent on this computer in the bowels of the flat basement, i somehow missed out on being inteviewed on the BBC.
Allow me to explain. Last post, i had mentioned an email from BBC EastMidlands freelance sports correspondant Robin Powell that i had recieved on my YouTube.com email at 4:30 am on monday morning. Unfortunately, i did not recieve a notice or read it until 11:30 last night....
Today, I called Mr. Powell, and to my dismay, he told me that they "were hoping to come out and do an interview, after all, I had seen the violence, and it would be a great piece..." Uhhhh. yeah, yeah it would.....(my reaction as he tells me this), only to have him continue "well, if you would have called me yesterday at this time, we could have sent some people out....but, unfortunately....."
suck.
although, consider the alternatives: 1) i insult the bristol fans on national tv and get killed, 2) the BBC was actually upset about copywrite infringment and i get sued, 3) that's really all i could come up with... this is kind of dissapointing.....
To see the video that caught their attention, go to my YouTube link, or scroll down....
otherwise, here's an interesting article about the violence that appears on the BBC Nottingham website, you can see the boarded up building as it looked yesterday, after they cleaned up the broken glass.....
BBC Story
just for comparison, here's the same building seconds after the violence ended....
