  • Awesome couple of videos. Thanks for adding subtitles!

  • @meepage332 Thanks. I knew I had to put up subtitles or else the internet would kill me.

  • @meepage332 At a first listen I heard (@4:22) "lay joyfully in my eyes".

    Second listen "rolled joyfully from my eyes"

    Third listen "whaled joyfully from my eyes"

    Fourth listen "whirled"

    fifth "went"

    I'm not going through the hassle of the interactive transcript myself though. I think for too little of myself and too much of the uploader (unfortunately100) to bother. That'll teach to do good. People expect the best instead of nothing ;)

  • @ReX342 I'm getting something like "wailing joyously in my..." line? lie?

    I wish to make the important note that the word at 4:53 is 'precis' "n. (pl. same /-si:z/) a summary or abstract of a text or speech." (OED) I would hasten to add that, although the definition refers to a text or speech, I feel Bill Bailey's use of it to be reasonable. I am sadly unable to shed light upon the other gap, and am happy to accept something along the lines of ReX342's thoughts.

  • Bill has been one of my fave comedian s for somethime. Thanks loads for posting this.

  • Thanks for putting this up - he did this bit in the O2 and I really wanted to hear it again. Great stuff.

  • Thank you so much. <3

  • @unfortunately100 That's it, which one of us is mailing him so we'll get a transcript of his e-mail exchange? :)

    I live in Belgium and wasn't there, but I'm not sure that's an argument against me ;)

  • Superb!
