    With a subtext of - I may become violent if you don't, but probably not.
    More likely a withering stare and a grumble.
    There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

    To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticise.

    Sorry, couldn't find better clip... It was quite talked about though, and I for one found it hilarious.

    He is asked to state who he is and what he does. And I can kind of understand his reaction. I wouldn't want to stand like an idiot saying "I am XXXXXX and I am a skier" or "I am XXXXX and I have just won the gold in....."

    Sure, ask him questions... But you cant expect him to want his interview edited in the way YOU like. The reporter intruded on his character, from his perspective, and was met accordingly.

    I'm not saying he couldn't have been more... nice... about it... But yeah, discussing NL directness, that example is class A imho.

    Hence "probably not".

    The English excel at the passive aggressive threat, which continue right up to us declaring war and deciding to destroy all your cities with incendiary bombs.
