Jim's a city slicker. We tolerate him...

Melbourne is more than a city. It is the epitome of intellectual culture at its most sublime...

You're waiting for me, aren't you?

Yes, OK, I oblige.

Yeah. Region restrictions. You have to find out how to watch it in your country. It should be available for free in all of the civilized world, and the US

Since when is the US part of the civilised world?

You have to improve your reading skills.

It's like English wasn't his first language.

Well, it isn't. His first language is Scottish.

Mind you, he still should have been able to parse "all of the civilized world, and the US" correctly.

A nice bit of trolling from someone who first language is not English which mine is. Scottish does not exist as a language so why do refer to it as such.

BTW where did Nine imply to the USA as a uncivilised country?

Thanks for once again demonstrating that you have difficulties expressing yourself in English. I put it down to the fact that your first language is Scottish.

In the English language the "and" in "all of the civilized world, and the US" does not mean "all of the civilized world, which includes the US". Your misapprehension that it does makes me suspect that it does mean "which includes" in the Scottish language.

More trolling. Scottish does not exist. I could not care how it appears on paper. Dont be a grammar nazi there's a good boy. There is no misapprehension on my part. The US was not clearly defined as uncivilised which it is. It was left hanging but that is your misapprehension.

OK then Gay lick, or whatever.

I've heard people speaking Scotch on the telly. There's a whole channel that broadcasts only in the Scotch tongue

What is Scotch when it is not in a bottle?

There is Lallans, aka Scots, and then there's Scots Gaelic, a Highland tongue. I don't think Edinburghers generally learn Lallans on their mother's knee, but probably some do.

Scots is not a language. Burn's Scots is quite different from Borders Scots which varies from town to town. It varies so much that east and west Borders has problems understanding each other.

Gaelic is totally different and was never spoken in the Lowlands. Irish Gaelic speakers (my wife) do understand written Scots Gaelic but the accent is quite different. Actually Edinburghers speak an odd English. There is a very snobby version spoken at private schools and Morningside. A very working class one spoken in the corporation schemes or is they are called in England estates.

Sorry you're going into lockdown again Svarty.
