you can read the manual online, one of the suggestions is 'drop typewriters' check it out its absolutley hilarious

im British (well Welsh) and your right he can be hard to understand, in his earlier days twas a lot easier but i do like Rob much more now as he has really taken the high road while David Baddiel (his ex comedy partner) went down the laddish comedian route

@Eldritchard Just had a read of the manual and almost fell off my chair laughing.

My Aussie ear somehow understands every word, don't know why. After watching both History Of Oil and From The Caliban to The Taliban on youtube I had to have the dvd so I bought them. Now I have to buy a couple more copies for Chrissy presents. The man is just BRILLIANT! I wish I could meet him because his head is so in the right place.

I understand his normal voice easily enough, but when he mimics other people's voices, I can't pick out the words. too bad, Brilliant stuff...

[MassesVclasses]

Lol, I've seen Dylan live and he was much worse than Rob's impression. Couldn't make out a bloody word.

[charlessmyth]

We can be reasonably confident that the first draft of Oliver Twist was not like that :-)

[metacarpied]

I'm American and I can understand what he's saying but yeah he does jump around on the subjects quite a lot..

[AnthemicPolemic]

Haha yeah, i'm from London but I can see how the intonation, or lack of accentuating certain sounds makes it hard. It sounds like a slight London accent but a little softer.

The way he talks i can't keep up. I like what i do understand but it's alot of jumping around on subjects. Can probably guess i'm not brittish...
