Can someone tell me why that woman kept ringing that bell?

Love Rich Hall, he is hilarious!

[DunkiesGirl]

@darkraerae The bell is rung to signify that the speaker's time is almost up, so they should summarise their point. When you see Paul debate, pretty much everytime he goes ON AND ON and often has the bell rung at least twice. That's why Rich remarked somewhere during the debate about how long Paul's speech was :D It's just a "hurry up and finish" kind of thing :P Hope that helps~

[darkraerae]

@DunkiesGirl Oooh right, yeah I watched Paul's after this and I see what you mean lol.

Thank you :D

[DunkiesGirl]

@darkraerae Lol yeah, like I said, Paul ALWAYS goes on a lot longer than everyone else. Not that any of us complain ;D~

[LiteracyLabyrinth]

Brilliant

very scathing attack and well thought out

[DunkiesGirl]

I know what you mean. He almost had me convinced to support his team! But you can't beat a Paul-attack ;D~

[milp1200]

the guy he talked to works at a bank...

paulie setting money aside...

thats so mean rich XD

[tazmon122]

whenever i sing the hook to Money by N.A.S.A (lyrics: "MONEY! money money money money money. money is the root of all evil") my mom (having never heard the song) always interrupts me saying "money isn't the root of all evil, the lust and need for money is the root of all evil"

[celal777]

the Bible actually says "T-H-E L-O-V-E O-F money is the root of all evil" (1 Timothy 6:10)

[thofman09]

Who let that Irish pathological haemorrhoid seated at far left on the same stage as Rich Hal?

[el6caballo6oscuro6]

interesting to see a guy called "rich" talk about money ;)

[ultrapot]

My lifes better that hording money.

[pyrothesis1]

where's paul's speechs?



[RoadhouseKiss]

The man is pure genius. His retention of facts and more to the point, being able to roll them out in a seamless fashion is a gift not many people could hope to have bestowed on themselves. I have watched him keep an audience spellbound for an hour with his humour and knowledge.

[phildirt3]

rich must be big in britain and australia you hardly ever hear about him in the usa anymore

[SimulationGuy121]

@stupidjunk878 Haha and I've never seen any Icelanders ever

[stupidjunk878]
