What does Dara say after Hugh does the callback on Micky's tourney bit? I've watched it 3 times and still can't figure it out. I usually have no problem understanding Dara. I'm such a silly redneck American. :\
could someone explain to a yank who loves british programming the differences between mickey, hugh, andy, and jacks accents in relation to region/locale. would andy's qualify as cockney and hugh posh? i know dara and the other guy are both irish. thanks.
@liana2288 Ah, the deliverance area of England, there is not much to do there in the winter, and they need to stay warm, hence there are a lot of teenage pregnancies :D
(actually I was there a year ago and its gotten alot better than it has, but other than st. Ives its a bit meh :/)
@testmonkey535 Someone's already told you Andy's Cornish; Micky is from Whitechapel in the East End, so he's cockney; Hugh and Jack are both posh--Hugh grew up in a very nice part of North London. Jack grew up in Westminster and graduated from the same school as Princess Eugenie.
This was an episode all about digs on other's jokes! Hugh's dig on Mickey's 'can't get out the turney'; Jack's digs on himself with the boxing 'pincers'; and Ed's dig on Jack's education at Hogwarts. Hope the rest of the season stays at this level. ;)
Thankyou Mr Moody, I've been away from the UK for 2 years, and without you and your uploads I would have lost all sense of humour by now, thankyou soooo much
@mini0777 People take things they believe give them good luck into exams, such as a "lucky pencil case". Then they see the question and realise that such a trinket has no effect when it comes to answering the question.
@mini0777 Well, people usually take their "lucky pencil cases" and "lucky pens" to exam (because they think that these items will help them score well in the exams.
Buuuuuuuut they can't help you if you face such a difficult question. :P
@GriimezHD I did watch the film. But I read the books first (well, except for the first two). And the books are always WAY better than the movies. The movies are more like trailers to the books. There are whole minor story lines that are never mentioned in the movies.
Agree with @thechaplain. Flannagan has got to go. He was funny when he was on once a semester. Every week it gets a bit boring. Ed and Jack are funny and we hardly heard them...
I have to say, I'm really struggling with this series. The quality has really gone downhill. Also I really don't find Mickey Flannagan funny - not only was the whole "look how working class I am!" thing done to death by the end of the 60's, but if you watch last weeks episode and this weeks he has these flashes of being very confrontational (towards Jack over the Swindon gag) which hampers people who are actually funny. PS - Swindon really is a shit hole.
1:29 Milton's headline... read out the accronym without adding any words and it makes perfect sense. Dont recall ever seeing that before! Milton is a funny bastard.
@Se1ander: Could be that it means BF Pierce's marksmanship rating in Army basic training? 'Hawkeye' means a perfect marksmanship score (I'm an ex-Army soldier). It could also mean his score out of medical school, before going to Korea. ;)
BF Pierce was named after a literary character created by James Fenimore Cooper. Natty Bumppo, from _Last of the Mohicans_ was also called Hawkeye. In the book, Pierce claimed it was "...the only book my old man ever read."
@Mrmoody There's a bit of a News of the World (the newspaper, not the song) scandal going on at the moment. I believe it's about phone tapping, and apparently they're shutting down the entire paper :O
The song fits perfectly at any rate, with or without the paper around.
@Mrmoody The renewed controversy about phone tapping isn't just about spying on celebrities. They've also hacked the phones of a missing girl (and deleted the messages when the inbox was full), the families of 7/7 victims and the families of soldiers killed in Iraq. Basically they are complete and utter scum.
@Mrmoody news of the world scandal :) i suspect it would just tickle them though, the whole show makes fun of that mad sphere of human endeavour anyway.
@timdaughte No, Dara said on Twitter that they won't. His exact tweet (copy & paste FTW): "No, folks we're not changing the MTW theme tune. In 2028 you'll be watching it with your kids and can explain what "News of The World" was."
