The B&BC on BBC

Het lokale BBC station kwam vorige week langs om dit interessante nieuwe onderzoekscentrum te filmen....en maakte er een minuut-lang stukje van voor in het nieuws. Klik op de links hieronder om het te downloaden en bekijken, de eerste voor Windows Media Player en de tweede voor Real Player.

We hebben hier hard gelachen om de verwachtingen die ze van ons hebben (een vier miljoen pond centrum opgezet om de oorzaken en genezingen van al die ziektes te ontdekken) en hoe Naomi wordt neergezet als een smokende zwangere vrouw (let op wat de omroepster zegt hihi).

The local BBC came by to make a footage of our research centre, and aired it a few days ago. Luckily we got the tape and i was able to digitise it, see below. Apologies for the bad quality!

oh and by the way, Naomi is not pregnant, neither does she smoke :-)

grappig

Wist je dat Nottinghamse prostituees (op straat natuurlijk, niet zo luxueus als in NL) wel driedubbel zoveel, zo dikke en zo lange kleding aanhebben in vergelijking met de gemiddelde winterkleding van die meiden van hier?

Czechia

Did you know...

- that no matter where you look, Prague is stunning!

- that dependent on where you look, you might see someone flashing at you, even in -5º.

- that the name Czechia is recommended to be used instead of Czech Republic.

- that dogs are obliged to wear a muzzle anywhere in public. (This is supposed to make people feel safer?)

- Czechs in Prague are pretty good in English and very proud to show you. Actually, if you do try hard to utter a sentence in Czech, be prepared to be laughed at! However, if you persist with the small words here and there, you might sometimes break through the Czech rudeness and get a sympathetic smile back.

- up to a decade ago, there was no such thing as customer service in Czechia. Believe me, they are still learning now. Local guides are advising those in tourism to be nicer to tourists, if they want the number of tourists to increase.

- it snowed so much in the Yesenik mountains that many trees broke by the weight of ice and snow. Others looked like characters in Star Wars!

... stay tuned for pictures!
