It didn't take long for the abusive emails to start... Congratulations to Philip Duncan for being the first. Take a look at this.
Please note the line below; we have never claimed to have made these, apologies to those who read it as such. We received these in an email sometime in 2001, and put them here to share with our friends as we couldn't find it on the web at the time. We have since found out that it was Chris Morris who did them, back in 1995.
Unfortunately I can take no responsibility for these, they're nothing to do with me, but very funny...
This is the story.....
"We'd go and sit on the balcony at Terminal 3 at Heathrow Airport, directly under one of the PA speakers where we put a tape machine in a bag with the microphone poking out of the top. Then we'd look for a flight that had arrived in the last 40 minutes from somewhere where you'd expect people with unpronounceable names e.g. Saudi Arabia.
We would then go to the Airport Help Desk with a prewritten note containing the names of fictitious passengers and ask them to read out the names over the PA system.
The passenger's names looked innocent enough on paper but they sounded like something else when read out loud (click on the 'Reads like' to hear)
| Looks like | Reads like |
|---|---|
| Arheddis Varkenjaab and Aywellbe Fayed | I hate this fucking job, and I will be fired |
| Arjevbin Fayed and Bybeiev Rhibodie | I've just been fired, and bye-bye everybody |
| Aynayda Pizaqvick and Malexa Krost | I need a piss quick, and my legs are crossed |
| Awul Dasfilshabeda and Nowaynayda Zheet | Oo-ah, that's better and now I need a shit |
| Makollig Jezvahted and Levdaroum DeBahzted | My colleague just farted, and left the room, the bastard |
| Steelaygot Maowenbach and Tuka Piziniztee | Still, I got my own back and took a piss in his tea |
We've had to move the sounds somewhere else due to so many people downloading them - it's not as quick, if you have problems accessing them you could try one of these places:
We got rumbled doing the "My colleague just, etc." They actually threatened to arrest us as apparently they'd received complaints over the previous weeks!
The last one (Still, I got my own back...) was recorded at Gatwick airport which does not have such a good sound system, and is generally a much noisier place, so that's why is sounds crap!"
