I don't know why, because porch is nothing! Apparently there're some unsung heroes that crash their conservatory, living room, bogroom, bedroom- the lot!

I know. Why don't they have a huge memorial service, invite all the world leaders and then stick it on all the TV and radio stations for hours on end, with repeats later on.

They could have loads of moronic interviews, commentary from acknowledged experts and lots of that lovely African Country and Western dancing and music.

I just can't get enough of it at the moment.

We have TV news on at work (on silent with subtitles). Today I got bored of seeing so much coverage on Sky News and BBC News 24 that I switched to Russia Today. No sign of the great man on that channel.

Apparently that fella "signing" at the memorial service was not an official part of the service and he was just a person that got in somehow and was just signing jubberish

That bloke doing the fake arm waving is the funniest thing I've heard about for ages. It completely ****** the bubble of false sincerity that has surrounded all this.

I'll bet Mr Mandela himself is looking down and laughing his head off about it too.

It's been reported that the sign language wasn't regular sign langauge for the deaf, but a secret sign language that was meant for a terrorist organisation :-/
