Richard Quest, you are such an adorable nerd.
I latched onto BizNews because of your chemistry with Hala, and the two of you never seem to be on the same page when it comes to pop culture. She knows Friends, movies, the latest incident on the football pitch. You... don't. But you can talk endlessly about Harry Potter, NASA and the history of the Concorde and Hala might as well not pay attention.
But when you agree on something, that's the best part. Your common stand on David Blaine's so-called "magic" by starving himself for 40+ days. Or how you both decided that Botox better be the thing to blame for actors' lack of acting abilities. And, most recently, the ridiculous hat fashion for Charles and Camilla's Royal Wedding.
Anyway. I had to say it because Richard was just rhapsodic about the "world's largest passenger jet" a few days back. He was absolutely... he was so excited. I just wish Hala'd been there to make fun of him for it.
Just like that time with the Concorde:
Tuesday, 21. October 2003
Richard: I could sit and look at this pictures of Concorde coming into London all day.
Hala: Some people do take it quite far. Turn a 60-mile-round-trip to see a plane take off and land. I don’t. Different strokes...
(Laughter)
Richard: I want a new presenter.
-- quote "stolen" from Liz's site. Thank you Liz :) --
so anyway. once more, with feeling: Quest! and Inside the Middle East!
