What exactly that egg thrower said to Ballmer

You have probably already seen the video of Steve Ballmer getting egged in Budapest - but trying to work out what the egger was saying to the eggee isn't too easy - especially if you don't speak Hungarian.

You have probably already seen the video of Steve Ballmer getting egged in Budapest - but trying to work out what the egger was saying to the eggee isn't too easy - especially if you don't speak Hungarian.

Luckily, I know someone who speaks Hungarian, so if any of you are wondering what the guy said to Ballmer shortly before being escorted from the lecture hall, here you go: (You can work out the English bits for yourselves)

EGG CHUCKER: Hey you, Microsoft has caused Hungary 25 Billion Hungarian Forints in (unintelligible) to the Hungarian people – give that money back right now.

OTHER VOICE (presumable security/lecturer): Could you please leave the room? (In very polite Hungarian)

EGG CHUCKER: Ok.

OTHER VOICE: What were you thinking? (Again, in very polite Hungarian)

EGG CHUCKER: our country is going to pay a lot more for letting him doing a ‘parade’ (circus) here…

OTHER VOICE: This way, this way so we can see you leaving the room.
