English bbc listening

Respect, fresco. And I haven't even listened to the clips.

Thank god it wasn't Glaswegian !

Well done, fresco.

Would you please be good enough to translate this one for me?

I understood about 30%, but I'm not sure which 30% I understood, if you catch my drifty.

Nicely bold ! My earloppers never encountery that Stannersclip previous. It must be one from the archetribes not too grub and scratchy.

Yes, I went there ploddy and plod through the undergrown fundemold, and there it want! Bright and sparkly to the eye and all around an ever growing forry!

Finally, a thread that makes sense.

Funny agne needed the Scottish bit transcribed, but not the African!

An' it wiz braw an' bricht, like a moonlit nicht.

You put me in mind of this.

I do?

I speak american (mostly californian but also chicago/ny/boston) english. I'm hard of hearing since the mid 1980's, when tinnitus happened. I am apparently getting hearing aids soon (medicaid), which I expect to be troublesome, even driving me nuts since my lack of hearing has been so long, but that I will figure out in time how to work.

I expect to be interested with links I can see with brit or irish or scot people, but right now I can't quite get even monty python skits; I get the skits, not the words.
It's like slobovia - a blurr of fast talk.

I'm probably not the only one. I don't demand subtitles, but I'd sure like to see the text easily accessed. Izzy has sent me and others many links I cannot decifer, and I apologize that I can't understand them. I might even be glad for just a slow down button.

Are there texts for videos that I am missing - or is this a giant business opportunity. Surely the smarties have thought of this? That people can't figure out what is said?

Attention, internet start ups or full blowns. This is my idea.
I have a name beyond my username, just in case you are all clucks.

I assume it is not my lone idea. I hope not.

I take it though that the people with problems are not having resources re music.

Slow down button, has any website done that?

any major website ever?

I'll take it, if available.

Give me credit for whining. If I win, I'll split it with fellow whiners up until now.

I sympathize with you hearing difficulties. Several of my family members suffer.
I don't know the US market but many DVD's sold here have subtitles. Most BBC programmes and some other UK channels also have them. You may be able io buy technology to play UK/EU DVD's and you may be able to subscribe to
BBC iplayer which has a subtitle button.

Thanks, fresco, I'll check that out.

meantime I've a hearing aids appointment in early December. I presume, from reading about others dealing with them, that I'll hear cacophony by walking into my kitchen. But I'll remember this thread and your advice.

Gee, thanks, Fresco.

Yes towards the end you hear the Pict, sounding like he's quoting Burns.
