I think you are talking about "Snatch". Brad Pitt wasn't in Trainspotting.
Aye, laddie! :embarassed: Thanks for correcting me, I guess I got those two mixed because because of the Scottish/Irish/British accents. Sorry all for looking dumb.

and your wicked accent. ;P I tried to watch Trainspotting the other day without subtitles - it's bloody impossible! Do you guys know of a secret set of vowels? Care to share with the rest of the world? ;) :-D -- I am perpetual, I keep the country clean.
A fùcking good movie! Never tried without subtitles, but I believe you. My ears don't catch half the sounds produced by a scottish accent.

Ha! In The Singing Detective there are parts (set in the Forest of Dean) where I have to use the subtitles to work out what they're saying :) Rob Manderson http://www.mindprobes.net **Paul Watson wrote:**What sense would you most dislike loosing?

Perfect! :laugh::laugh::laugh: I can't believe some people present this movie as an incitement to drug use.

Heck, too much alcohol scares me! But then again, I've noticed that drug addicts have a totally different view of the world. I don't think they perceive "living in the gutter" as a really bad thing. I've had a conversation with a guy who claimed he'd smoked pot for 10 years, at least once a week, and claimed at the same time that he hadn't taken any damage. Now, I'm not the best judge of character, but he's taken damage by it.. it's hard to have a meaningful "adult" conversation with him (but I suspect pot is not the only thing that's passed through his body) Personally, I try to stay away from things I know may cause problems. -- I am perpetual, I keep the country clean.

Try reading the book - it is written in the same Scottish brogue (almost phonetic!). I have many Glaswegian friends (and hence am quite used to the accent) but I had to read it out loud in places otherwise the words made no sense! I haven't read the sequel, Porno, yet but it's on ma list...

Actually, the reason you may have difficulty is that the words are not in English exactly (it is an semi-anglisised version of Scots.) That statment is going to cause an argument I can tell because there is debate about whether the Scots language still exists as it has been steadily been wiped out over the last few decades. Some will say that what is spoken in Scotland is a dialect of English, others will say it is a language in its own right with dialects (e.g. Doric [as spoken in Aberdeen] verus Lallans [the more traditional form, as spoken in the Scottish Borders]) http://www.lallans.co.uk/[^] --Colin Mackay--

I had a teacher at the university who comes from Scotland. One day at a lecture for programming language course, he drifted off topic (as he often does :rolleyes:), and ended up comparing Swedish and Scottish. According to him, the Scottish language/dialect is partly influenced by nordic languages. Do you know if there is any truth in that? -- I am perpetual, I keep the country clean.

Yes there is a lot of influence from other Northern European languages. I don't have a lot of specific details about the similarities but I do know a few connections: "Kirk" from the Dutch "Kerk" "Firth" from the Norwegian "Fjord" "Breeks"(sp?) from the Dutch "broek" "Snell" from the Dutch --Colin Mackay--

But Glaswegian is notoriously hard to understand - more so than an Edinburgh accent I think...

Then the book should be easy for you to understand then. :-D Since Irvine Welsh is from Edinburgh, and the book is set in Edinburgh and, IIRC, no one from Glasgow features in it. --Colin Mackay--

Now I wuite a bit closer, in fact I parents live in Scotland, and I know what you mean. Nothing quite like a Glaswegian accent. Saying that in the UK quite a lot of call centers are based there as it can also be quite a freindly accent when they slow down, and stop saying "fuck, I dunna ken!".
