  • lmfao what is he saying

  • @Shangas check ur english .. i think the gentleman was right..

  • ALRIGHT, I AM A CREW OF COSTA AND A BIT OF A CRITIC.. ALL I WANT TO STRETCH ON IS,.. ACCORDING TO THE MARATIME LAW ALL PASSENGERS AND CREW SHOULD HAVE AN EMERGENCY DRILL THE SAME DAY OF EMBARKATION, AND I WORKED ON THE P&O CRUISES BEFORE AND THEY DID HAVE ON THE SAME DAY.. EXCEPT FOR ALL THE SHIPS OF COSTA.. THEY ALWAYS HAVE IT ON THE FOLLOWING DAY AFTER EMBARKATION. WHAT IF THE SHIP HAD TO SINK ON THE VERY FIRST DAY IT SELF??? WOULD THE PASSENGERS KNOW WHERE TO GO??

  • just jump and swim to the land

  • "surviving"

    only 2 people died

  • Lying bastards.

  • @jamiemh76 Yes, I know that. I've been to the UK for a few weeks on an English language course to practice and learn (more precisely in Ramsgate, Kent) and I've heard different accents. I can also understand this couple in the video, but at first it didn't sound like English at all. It is the same when we listen to some Bulgarian dialects - some people are hard to understand even though they speak the same language as we do.

  • @stoyanfourn British listeners will understand this without problem, although their accents are very strong. Most people in Britain have regional accents, we generally don't sound like the tv newsreaders on the BBC, or the Hollywood movie versions of English people. For a tiny country there is a huge variation in accent and regional dialect.

  • brighton accent - horrible posh/gay trash place

  • @taxiwarrior no..probably 2000's
