Anyone watch the BBC?
- Thread starter ire
- Start date
I'm guilty of watching it. Mostly because I have a few friends across the pond and it helps to listen and get used to the local lingo. Sometimes when they come to visit or even if we talk on the phone, I have a hard time figuring out what the hell they just said.
Rarely watch BBC news, but I watch Top Gear as often as I can.
If you speak English and you have trouble understanding what announcers on the BBC say then you are either a spastic or functionally deaf.
The BBC IS better its not just the accent. News on TV in America is dead already. Except if you consider the daily update on gas news and like the lack of coverage of Afghanistan and Iraq proper news coverage.

I'm not talking about the BBC broadcasters, I have no problem understanding them. It's my friends over there who are picking up all the slang and speaking 2x as fast as they normally do. That and they're starting to refer to cigarettes as fags. WTF! They're cigarettes! Get it straight!
BTW.. how did you know I was losing my hearing?
Yeah, but do you know what they call tennis shoes or better yet weed?
I'm sans TV, but I do listen.

they don't have any hot chicks doing weather or sports. so i only watch it for Top Gear and maybe a couple of other shows.
Do your mates refer to wrenches as "spanners"? 
The only span those fools know is the distance from their hand to the remote. Most of the time even that is too far for those lazy asses to move. And it's called a wrench! Seriously WTF... It's a wrench.Do your mates refer to wrenches as "spanners"?
It is a bloody spanner.Do your mates refer to wrenches as "spanners"?
Stupid 'mericans.
I suppose you call a flashlight a "torch" too, don't you?It is a bloody spanner.
Daft....bloody thing doesn't flash at all. And while I'm at it, the place you put the dead hookers before you bury them in the desert is the "boot" not the "trunk".I suppose you call a flashlight a "torch" too, don't you?
By the way for all you Top Gear lovers you can down load the latest Top Gear (season currently running) minutes after it airs in the UK: www.finalgear.com

gym shoes are called trainers. The engine is under the bonnet. Complaining is whinging. And if you get pissed at a football game you are actually getting drunk at a soccer game. If you know how to use a toothbrush you are an american.
