"But a bird we meant is useless"???

Those of you who watch commercial television may have seen this Foster's advert. Does anybody know what he says after "It's a delicate matter..."? To me it sounds like "... but a bird we meant is useless" which makes no sense to me at all. Answers on a postcard.

UPDATE: He says "It's a delicate matter, but a burned wing man is useless". Ta muchly to WestCoast2, Lola and Span Ows.

Burnt Wing Man?

"but a burned (burnt?) wing man is useless"

Span Ows said...

yep. burnt wing man (as in mate), possibly 'burnt wee man' but first seems more likely.

Why ,when the embarrassed geezer says he is on some Greek island, do the Universal Experts reply in unison with an Italian greeting? Does n't do much for the credibility which is essential to their authority.
I could hear the burnt wing man bit but did n't get the third prohibition (no power ballads)for a while.
Somebody should set up a service like this for real as being a young man nowadays must be a very tricky business.(In my day ,you were n't allowed to do anything so it was all much simpler.)
