Indeed.
I used to watch that show every week, I always found it very very funny, but sometimes I was like '...' :D
Fortunately I understand english a little and that helped me to get some puns [img]smile.gif[/img] [/QUOTE]See, Green ... er, I mean, Sir Tainly ? ALL the French people here like "Bottom" ! ;)
Masklinn, have you watched the "Bottom" live shows ? I bought them from the UK, all in English and no subtitles, it has improved my hearing English no end. [img]smile.gif[/img]
