I mean is it just me or is it very hard to understand paddy in Cbb? Should big brother put subtitles up!

[Novo]

I can understand him fine most of the time it's just some of his slang i don't get

This.

[Red Moon]

I'm having trouble understanding all he say's but then my dyslexia can't be helping, but it is getting easier the more I watch.

[Zippy]

enough to get the jist of what he means

but I wouldnt want to be in charge of his subtitles

[CharlieO]

Sometimes can sometimes cant.

[Lister of Smeg]

cant understand him well but i still like him

[Mystic Mock]

I used to try to understand him but now ive given up.

[Iceman]

I get everything he's saying.

[emmetmcl]

Yeah, took me while to understand on the first night, but know what he's on about now. Probably cos he's got a kinda Irish accent.

[Callum]

Most of the time I can't, no.

[Locke.]

Don't understand a word he says but he still manages to be funny

[Jordan.]

Not at all, just the odd word.

I can most of the time but I have to really concentrate.

[Zippy]

I was amazed to hear him say he was born in England. He actually picked up that accent growing up here? Surely not.

[Jamietwo]

i like him but i don't want my drive resurfaced or anything....pikeys just sound irish to me

[aiv]

It's like when I listen to the people on TG4 in Ireland speaking Irish really fast and everything... I don't understand all of it but get the idea... Paddy is getting easier to understand with each show though. Needs a bit of getting used to

[CaudleHalbard]

I find it hard to understand what ANY of them are saying this year. I don't know if C5 have decided to get cheapo mikes or whatever.

But when Marcus Bentley announces the voting phone numbers, it's so loud I have to turn the sound down!

What's going on?

[reece(:]

rarely

Yea actually, because I know when I watch Big Fat Gypsy Wedding I could understand him no bother and also I should have an advantage because I do also live in Ireland so maybe C5 should have a look at their audio equipment:/

[Zippy]

Its not the equipment. I have no problems understanding other HMs.

[Peter.]

Maybe it's just his mic lol or as some quoted 'iPod'

Most Irish Travellers stay within their communities with little outside interaction. I don't know if you watched any of Big Fat Gypsy Wedding, but some of the younger ones might have been 3rd generation English despite having really strong Irish accents.

@ OPs question. I can understand about 80% of what he says. It's got a lot easier.
