Only just got around to reading this weeks commentary...and noticed this

"Oops! Last week I wrote that Geller had been mentioned by a UK comedian, and got the name and venue wrong. It should have been Graham Norton (not Morton), who works for Channel 4 (not the BBC). My apologies to Mr. Norton."

The surname mistake is understandable...but then I remembered this on the 15th December...

Norton signs exclusive BBC deal (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/tv_and_radio/3321569.stm)

How does Randi do it, he didn't have to apologise afterall, he could have put it down to foresight!!! Shurely a rational explaination can be found! :con2: :p

Only 50% wrong so he doesn't have to apologize?

He wasn't 50% wrong, he was 50% right!

I just took it as ajoke about Randi "predicting" that the guy would go to work for the BBC in the future and went on with my life. :)
