Never saw a car that can squeeze into a 6 foot gap.

Haha! :-D

I turned the subtitles on for Trainspotting and The Navigators. I saw Sexy Beast in a theater but it could have used them too. I did understand Kingsley's clearly enunciated 'f*ck' though.

Och, I dinnae speak aw that s**te!

I once had to ask in a newsgroup what "NB" meant in a text message. Do you know? And it's isn't Nota Bene, not in Scotland.

[Commander Kinsey]

Doesn't work unless I speak funny.

[Commander Kinsey]

Broken Sword 3 obviously, the one the clip was taken from that you posted - it's the title of the clip.

My god she actually filmed it in use! Ugh!

[Commander Kinsey]

Odd, as to me the American accents differ widely. As much as they do across the UK. And strong Glaswegian accents baffle me.

[Commander Kinsey]

It should have evolved out.

[Commander Kinsey]

Bullshit. Let's say you're the Chinese guy making the instruction manual. You can either use your poor grasp of English and type in what you think is correct, or you can type more easily in your native tongue into Google Translate, then paste the result into the program you're about to print with. This takes ZERO EXTRA TIME.

[Commander Kinsey]

They didn't get it either.

[Commander Kinsey]

Oh, you were referring to your nym. I failed to spot that.

[Commander Kinsey]

So those sofas are like Viagra?

[Commander Kinsey]

Actually I use subtitles for American programs. Films seem to be ok, they use higher quality actors, but crime dramas the characters tend to mumble.

[Commander Kinsey]

It's 2 metres in the UK, we're sort of metric. And therefore slightly safer from the virus.

And a Gee Whizz. Or me using my horn.

The customers pay for everything!

:-D

No - but I've cheated and looked here:-

Any of those used in Bonnie Scotland?

[David_B]

Gotcha. Thanks.

She's quite pretty! ;-)
