Is it a world record ?
 
Being asked to turn your helicopter down (or something like that) in front of an audience of 100 million people (apparently) ?

As Ricky Gervais couldn't think of anything else to say at that point. Whilst on stage at Wembley. Sounded like he owes you a quid.

Perhaps one of the usual drivers for the BBC.

Made me chuckle anyway.

I think it might have been better for all if the helicopter had been turned UP.

I'm with Shytorque too - and Clint Eastwood who when faced with Ricky Gervais at an awards ceremony said "who the hell is this guy?" Great one Clint!:D

Although there are millions out there who love his cringeworthy characters I would far rather listen to helicopter noise all day than (the almost completely unfunny) Mr Gervais.

Even sadder that it was a complete set up and replica of his so called unexpected time filling at Live 8

Dear Sir,

I was rummaging around the attic today and found a circular piece of flat black vinyl. It had a hole in the middle and a spiral groove on both sides.
Is this a record?

Yours,

Yes i believe thats a record too.

I'd never seen Ricky Gervais do anything live on TV before, his time filling was bloody awful

Watch the 'Concert for Diana' and look at the ricky gervais act (if you can call it that). He was trying to fill in for time, live on stage, and complained about the noise from the helicopter which was covering the event!!!

It wasnt funny!!!

I'm with Clint. Who is Ricky Gervais?

Please post a pic of the dude or a link to his achievements....
