Excellent.

"...so big, Channel Four are dissecting it..."

I'm certain I'll watch the whole thing later, but for now, please tell me how Channel Four is plural.

monster · 01-01-2012, 07:20 PM

Because they are a group of people. It's British grammar and it is correct. In the UK.

as are maths

Please though, tell me everyone doesn't pronounce the word "die-sect." My friend in college, a faculty brat with Dr Dad as biology professor, learned me that it's a short i.

That video is too long for me to watch.

Biology teacher in high school said 'DIEsect' for dissect, but also said 'duhSECtion' for dissection.

Clodfobble · 01-02-2012, 10:00 AM

I say die-sect, but plenty around here would say dah-say-uct...

DanaC · 01-02-2012, 10:04 AM

I would say die-sect.

footfootfoot · 01-02-2012, 10:18 AM

Are you disdisecting me?

Sundae · 01-02-2012, 10:32 AM

It's obviously a British thing.
DIE -sect here all the way.

Watching it now.
Just got to Jamie's recipe for Kate & Wills.
HONGREY!

ETA - nah. not as good as previous years.
It's always been about role playing, but Walliams' and Hart's roles just aren't funny in the whole zero points thing.
And now Walliams is married to a model, the whole faux-gay thing is really stretched. Get a real gay on if you want innuendo!

Oh and bring back Brydon. Or anyone Welsh. I just like the sounds.
