I brought this up with my 21 year old kitchen porter at work today and was horrified to hear he had no idea who he was or what he had achieved.
British hero's he also had never heard of,
Stirling Moss
Howard Carter
George Formby
Charles Babbage
Alan Tourin
Neville Chamberlain
People he had heard of,
Winston Churchill
George Best (didn't know that he didn't play for England)
JFK (knew he was assainated but couldn't tell me when, where or who had shot him)
He is number 70 in the world at Call of Duty on the Xbox though so there is that (for what it's worth)
RIP

Re: RIP
Just found out there are 14 different versions, I'll have to find out which one he plays. He did admit to me that the best players are on PS4.Speaker to Animals wrote:*cough* Nile Wilson.
I tell him regularly that he needs to get out of the house more and that still being a virgin at 21 is unacceptable.

Yeah, I had to look it up. I thought he must be a CoD player.Speaker to Animals wrote:Nile Wilson is your up and coming gymnast.

I once saw him narrate The Christmas Story @ Epcot. He was wonderful. If you've never seen the Candlelight Processional at Epcot, I highly recommend.
MASH - best comedy ever. He was also in a truly terrible episode of TNG.
