Do the deaf watch late night TV???

[csider]

Cos the sign people always pop up late at night.........

Whats that all about then

Er, I think most deaf people can set a video.

 

[John Bumlick]

but they're ear mentals...and the ears are, ya know, pretty close to the brain...so who knows...most of them sound like specials anyway.

I think it's wank material for late night boozers

 

[Easy 10]

Aggravates me no-end that does. I skip forward on the Sky Movies planner to see if theres anything decent worth recording later on in the early hours, then when I go to watch it, theres some bloke in the corner of the screen flapping his arms about. It happened the other night when I recorded 12 Angry Men. Surely it gets on deaf peoples tits as well - wouldn't they prefer SUBTITLES ?

Wrong.

The best signers are those who are working on the "adult" drama shows.

When an actor says "I told that wanker to f*** off", it's so much more entertaining to watch the signer.

Qualified BSL interpreters earn similar money to doctors and lawyers.

Maybe they volunteer for the late late shows.



I wondered why Ned was taking his first grade exam.

 

[csider]

Yeah, but why subtitles in the day and picture blockers late at night??

Generally not, as sign language bears virtually no relation to English - if a deaf person was raised 'speaking' BSL, English is a foreign language to them and requires translation.

I'm partially deaf, and no - it doesn't get on my tits.

I don't look at it either, but I know one day I might need it.
