Tim Willcox reporting for both BBC World News and the BBC News Channel from Cyprus.

I wonder if we'll see him speaking any Spanish anytime soon.

Well considering the two official languages in Cyprus are Greek and Turkish, then probably not.

Why would he be speaking Spanish in Cyprus? Laughing


Yes, I know that.

But when he's been on location before - he's used it as an excuse to speak Spanish. Wink

You really should beep when you reverse that much! I don't believe for a second that that's what you were getting at. The chances of him finding a Spaniard in Cyprus with any sort of knowledge of, or opinion on, the financial crisis is almost nil.


Well, you're wrong Mystic Rob, that's not what I was thinking.

If you'd of read my ammended post you would see that I've been on Holiday there before.

In that case, you should know that there would be little reason for him to speak Spanish in Cyprus!

It was supposed to be an amusing comment, I'm sorry you didn't see the funny side of it - April did.

If that's what you intended, then an emoticon would have helped matters. The way you phrased it, it appeared to be a genuine question.

OK Worzel - I'm sorry that I didn't realise it was a joke. I only remember him speaking Spanish when he was in Chile, so I didn't realise that he'd spoken it elsewhere. I genuinely thought it was a proper question. Anyway, let's move on.

What's with BBC World News making a big deal with former SBS presenter Yalda Hakim's move to BBC WN, to the point of having her own promotional ad about being a part of the BBC... I don't think BBC did that to other presenters.

Also, will she be one of the new relief for Impact with Mishal , aside from Lucy and Babita?

I would say that "well hello there a very good afternoon" doesn't have quite the same ring as "well hello there a very good afternoon".

I'm sorry, but I had to laugh at how it obviously wasn't meant as a joke.

I think we all saw the funny side of it but it isn't what you want it to be. I wouldn't have known which language(s) were spoken in Cyprus either. The funny part was when you tried to pretend your mistake was a joke. I doubt anyone is convinced.
