Paid Members Bettencourt Posted June 8, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted June 8, 2015 Having said that, if you were to get annoyed at every minor characteristic of people, you'd probably blow your brains out rather sharpish  Luckily, I'm such a prick I tend to just avoid folk. But this over the last couple of days has just really annoyed me.  The "but" thing doesn't annoy me as much. Maybe I'm much more used to hearing weegies on the TV/Radio saying that and taking it as the norm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Carbomb Posted June 8, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted June 8, 2015 That's spelled slightly differently, butt, and is short for butty, butt. Not half as foolish as just saying 'but' at the end of your sentence. Â I didn't know that. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zebra Kid Mark Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 I see. Very Germanic. As is sticking 'or' on the end of your sentence. Beat me to it. A lot of germans I know who speak english constantly end their sentences with or. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sphinx Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 I see YouTube are showing live streams of the Copa America. Will they also have it on demand too? I see Premier Sports offer it on demand for £9.99, but don't know if that's my only option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Kookoocachu Posted June 9, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted June 9, 2015 Some of you may remember me posting a go fund me link for my friend's little girl Delilah who has cancer.  She has fought and fought, but today they have had devastating news, the tumour is growing back.  Her care is now going to be palliative. She has just had her 3rd birthday. I felt I had to share with you as so many of you supported her last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Monkee Posted June 10, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted June 10, 2015 I'm currently learning BSL (I've always wanted to learn, no particular reason) but, because I don't actually know anyone who's deaf, I'm having problems practicing. I Googled for deaf groups in London but they're all during working hours so I can't go. How do you meet deaf people? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian 86 Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 silly question, do you need actual deaf people to practise, or just people that can 'speak' BSL? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Surf Digby Posted June 10, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted June 10, 2015 Hearing people tend to phrase things as they'd speak them out loud whilst signing. Â Deaf people (and deaf mute people in particular) often phrase things in a very succinct, basic way, almost like baby talk. Â I did my level one BSL back in 2004(?) as I was encountering quite a few deaf people. Since doing it, I've not had to use it once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Monkee Posted June 10, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted June 10, 2015 silly question, do you need actual deaf people to practise, or just people that can 'speak' BSL? Â I need to practice with someone who knows what they're doing whether they're deaf or know BSL. I could potentially meet up with some other people from the class but if we're all doing something wrong then there'll be no-one to correct us. The course (and most of the people on it) is (are) based in South London whereas I'm in North London so it's difficult to get together between classes. Also, they're all learning for a purpose - they work in deaf schools or it's needed for their job - so they encounter deaf people on a regular basis. I don't so I would like to find someone to practice with outside the class. Â Â Â In Torquay, there was a deaf social club my brother used to go to before we moved.

I did see that there was a deaf coffee morning near me every other Thursday so it might be that I have to work from home and pop along in order to get some practice in. Cheers!
