Durga Mata

Thanks to football fan Ann F for this one.

I guess Juan Mata, the midfielder who plays for Manchester United,  should be relatively happy with the nickname the NBC subtitles department has given him.

He could have been Mary Jane.

At least NBC was right on one count.

He was out on the grass.

Grim forecast

You know how worried you were when you agreed to let your child go to Glastonbury?

Let the BBC Weather subtitles team put your mind at rest.

Because?

Well, because it's Glastonbury.

Losing face

Does anyone else, apart from myself and Jon C, keep seeing this advert on Facebook?

Now, if she really was from London, she'd be a Mum, not a Mom. And, at 200 miles away, do they really think that London is local to me? Or to Jon C who happens to be over 5,000 miles away?

But my main point is no, she doesn't look 25 years younger. In fact, the truth is she looks like a he.

An extremely poorly-Photoshopped he at that. Complete with bushy eyebrows and a dreadfully mis-shaped and incorrectly-sized nose that ends right on top of his lip.

Unless, God help them, that this is actually an example of their work.

But what's even more worrying on a personal level is that these ads are targeted.

Is that the best that Facebook's algorithms can come up with for me?

If so, I'll get me coat.

Or perhaps Facebook should.

BBC rhyming slang

As tweeted by @MrRandomSilly the other day, someone at BBC News will be in trouble.

I don't know why though.

Whoever wrote it was just saying what the rest of us already think about Bankers and their standards.

Glosso-filial

Another blunder from the BBC subtitling team; this one via Twitter.

A screenshot of a father talking affectionately about his two sons.

Perhaps it's a quirky way of describing the younger lad's love of language.
