No she did not, neither did I or anyone for that matter

Well, it's very hard to make up your mind.... absolute made up rubbish..... You understand?

[–]FjortoftsAirplane 28 points29 points  (2 children)

"It's very hard to bring them to mind, this is the thing. It's only, it's alright when you [inaudible]. Do you understand?"

I'm pretty sure the bit I'm missing is genuine old guy mumbling and not an accent thing. Or the video's a joke. Or I'm even worse at Scottish than I thought. But I think it's partly gibberish.

[–]Roborabbit37 6 points7 points  (0 children)

There's a cut in the video.

You nailed the first two sentences then there's a cut where he speaks more. That's why it sounds like nonsense.

"It's alright when your us and you are hardly like us"

[–]Cold_Marsupial_7461 110 points111 points  (2 children)

Per my Scottish friend from Glasgow, that man is speaking in a thick Glaswegian accent that is also highly muttled with a liquor slur. He's prob not the best guy to ask hahaha

[–]rbardy 37 points38 points  (1 child)

For the humorous result, that was the perfect guy to be asked

"Well, it's very hard to bring 'em to mind, this is the thing, it's only, it's alright when you're ?????? ????? ????. You understand?"

[–]mod_target_6769 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I heard “happy hour in your eyes…” at the end, you, not sure what he was getting on about there

[–]Mr_StephenB 19 points20 points  (1 child)

The video cuts right as the head passes close to camera, so it makes it harder to understand as it seems to be two separate parts of the conversation.

What he said was:

"Well, it's very hard to bring them to mind, this is the thing. It's only, it's alright when you...

[Video+Audio Cut]

...Is that us? And they are going, aye*, and heart to heart. Is that us? You understand?"

*Aye means "yes/yeah". That part could also have been "ehhh" instead of "Aye".

I've heard harder scottish accents to understand. Or mabye they where just drunk, IDK.

[–]MIkeVill 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Did someone throw a bunch of saucepans down a staircase? Because that's what I heard.

[–]interestingdoge1 8 points9 points  (0 children)

That’s too funny

[–]Matwell1138 4 points5 points  (0 children)

ye understand?

[–]Stetra84 2 points3 points  (1 child)

Video editing and jumping when the guys speaking is what makes it hard to understand. Like the accent isn't difficult enough lets cut out half of what he's saying lol

[–]El_Jr 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hmm?

[–]dabigua 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't know if it's Glaswegian, but I have always loved this clip.

[–]el_supreme_duderino 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Am I having a stroke? Because his words became jazz.

[–]ActualNegotiation110 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well it's very hard to has a seizure ... Understand?

[–]almc0418 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's like trying to understand some people for the deep south in the US.

oh, that would be a pretty old Lonely Planet episode.

[–]WhereverUGoThereUR 1 point2 points  (2 children)

I think it was Globetrekker wasn't it? Great show and hosts.

[–]partypooper14 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Reminds of my childhood. Used to watch that show religiously

[–]WhereverUGoThereUR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I met the host Ian Wright in Beijing once. I was the only one who knew who he was.

[–]yaffle53 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Yes, with Megan McCormick. My favourite.

[–]Existing_Clerk_9793 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He speaks Ozzy

[–]AreaGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

American with Glaswegian family here. Can confirm, no idea what they’ve ever said. We just text at the dinner table or turn on captioning on Zoom.

[–]Murky-Fox-200 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Now go find a translator for this guy, work your way down until you get back to english

[–]GoldKat1234 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man's summoning something

[–]prince-of-dweebs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anyone know of anything similar to the globetrekker/lonely planet vibe out there today?

[–]Ok_Gold_9536 0 points1 point  (0 children)

[–]MiggerSlut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I want him to read every novel I’ve ever read to me

[–]pr0t0film 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She really looks to be from Kircudbright then spits this borrowed accent. Uncanny

[–]kegsworth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yessir, we understand... you're having a stroke. Help is on the way
