Paul Garner, one of CM's associate nutters on  
the show, would pretend to be a cab driver (or  
something similar) and present airport tannoy  
announcers with a piece of paper with some names  
written on it to read over the PA system. 
These foreign-looking and unusually  
spelt names appear innocent enough... 
until you try to pronounce them! 
These are some examples - translations are 
provided in case it's not clear enough!
| Looks Like... | Reads Like... | Sounds Like... | 
| Arheddis Varkenjaab and Aywellbe Fayed | I hate this fucking job, and I will be fired |  | 
| Arhevbin Fayed and Bybeiev Rhibodie | I've just been fired, and bye-bye everybody |  | 
| Aynayda Pizaqvick and Malexa Kröest | I need a piss quick, and my legs are crossed |  | 
| Awul Dasfilshabeda and Nowaynayda Zheet | Ah-Oo, that feel' 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 |  | 
A splendid fellow called Martin Pointon assisted Paul 
in these gloriously puerile acts.  Here's what he had 
to say about them... 
"The way the phonetic announcements 
were done is as follows: 
We'd go and sit on the balcony at Terminal 3,  
directly under one of the speakers as the roof 
is low. Put the DAT or tape machine in our bag with 
the mic poking out of the top. We'd look for a 
flight that'd arrived in the last 40 minutes 
from somewhere where you'd expect mental names, 
then write a letter saying "could we go and 
pick up, etc from flight, etc". This way,  
it looked like it'd been arranged in advance as the 
flight arrival details were written on the note.  
We also wore an ID-style badge and carried a mobile 
so that we looked like taxi drivers. One of us would 
get the first read out and then the other do the 
second. We'd pretend to be unable to pronounce it 
and then hand them the bit of paper. Long winded, 
but you've heard the results yourself - well worth it. 
As you know, we got rumbled doing the "My 
colleague just, etc". They actually threatened 
to arrest us as apparently they'd actually had 
complaints over the previous weeks! We were 
toying with doing it again just to see what they'd 
arrest us for, but we rang Chris and all he said was, 
"go to Gatwick!". This is the reason the 
last set sound so crap 'cos Gatwick is a much 
noisier place and the ceilings are high, so it was 
difficult to get near a speaker. We also went round 
both terminals as the first reading was rubbish. 
The lengths we had to go to... 
This is how they were spelt - it was a long time 
ago and we never kept the papers, but I'm sure 
this is how they were spelt...
