Bristol Post Balls – an embarrassing vowel movement in public
There’s hardly a day goes by without the Bristol Post screwing up somewhere.
Today it features a glowing review of veteran US three part vocal harmony and guitar group Crosby, Stills & Nash.
However, at one point the language is not so much glowing as glaringly wrong when Mr Harnell trips over a near homophone:
Despite hoovering up the Gross National Product of Columbia in his darkest days, David Crosby’s voice remains a thing of wonder.
Columbia? The female personification of the United States of America?
I think the reviewer had got his vowels muddled and actually meant Colombia, a South American country famous for the supply of a variety of white nasal decongestant allegedly enjoyed at one time by Mr Crosby.
