powerdesal Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 Some of you may have read of an air crash near Oxford in todays DT. A serious thing to report but.......The reporter quoted a statement from a witness said to be called "Maffi Moushkila ", The Arabic speakers on the forum (there are a number) will know that this is NOT a name but a phrase that translates (literally) into "no problem".Just how gullible are reporters.Sad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnOther Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 Reminds me of a few years back when El Ninio was the hot topic and some poor sap in the US was actually called that and his phone never stopped ringing with people blaming him for the weather !May be a myth but in the US all things are possible [:D] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
