"i was on holiday in spain on 9/11. it seems distasteful now, but i wasn't to know at the time. I didn't plan it; the holiday, i mean, not the attacks.
i was walking around there on 9/11, the 9th of novemember - reclaim the calendar, we invented those dates! i was walking around there on the 9th of novemeber, 9/11, and i went into a little spanish bar; and on television there was all this film of buildings on fire and things falling down and people running around screaming. and i said to the barman 'where's that?' - in spanish 'donde esta?'. and he said 'Nueva York'; and i thought, 'oh, it's in columbia or somewhere, it doesn't matter'. then i watched for a bit longer, and realised it was new york, where english speaking people live, therefore, a terrible news worthy tragedy." - stewart lee
