I'm sorry, but I'm listening to something different then most of you.
I hear speedbird get cleared to push and start and then get stopped by vigilant groundcrew because somebody else in another aircraft f@cks up.
The Nigel might be an arse for blaming the ATC girl (clearly not her fault, she did well) , but he's right that that was potentially a bad incident, and a report should be written.
The other pilots on freq are being very unprofessional. Laugh in the cockpit, but don't clutter a busy freq.
