Up the ante - walk into a Scotsman with a thick Glaswegian accent.

Thought it was gonna be this skit from limmys show haha. That one broke my brain until I binged the show and acquired a passive understanding of glaswegian

I've watched Limmy's show so much, I can even understand the old guy in a pub skits

Now we're talking, but it's still a video game set on average difficulty. It can be hecks worse, trust me. ^^

I stll categorise this as "fairly easy", maybe "average" difficulty. What breaks my head is some Aussie slang. ^^

I believe this is where the belter dialect in The Expanse comes from..

I burst out laughing watching this. Reminded me of how my British wife "warned" me about folks' accent back when I first met her family in rural England.

Honey, I understand them perfectly fine. Won't you be worrying, love?

:D

Lol, that's really sweet. But imagine that specific MP to be the first boss in a very lengthy and challenging video game. ^^

I'd put subtitles on for sure!

I could understand the first guy, but had to look up "antipodean".

[–] Swarfega@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

I could hear what he was saying but he was talking quite fast which makes it harder to understand.

Glaswegian is medium difficulty, try Dundee
