• Another subtitle 'huh?

    Yesterday morning, the BBC was showing the previous night's Iranian
    missile launches. The subtitle helpfully described this as:
    "....US ever have Curragh dear, Brad Lincoln..", which apparently
    translated to something to do with the aircraft carrier Abraham
    Lincoln.
    It wasn't corrected at the time, but had been when the spot was
    transmitted later in the day.

    "It all makes work for the working man to do".
