Evening,

I seem to recall in my feeble little brain watching or listening to Eddie Izzard speaking to someone in English who was answering back in their language but Eddie was able to understand what they were saying. I'd love to know what language this was.

Does anyone know a) if I've actually seen/heard this and it's not just all in my head? and b) what the language was if I've not imagined it?

Ta Muchly :c)

most annoying modern phrase or saying

Tried googling for an answer but it seems that mr Izzard speaks a few language so there were tons of hits. Then I got bored - sorry.
