Normally I don't have any trouble understanding English accents but this...are they even speaking English? I don't even get how they can understand each other.

Also, try turning on the "transcribe audio" feature youtube has for some good laughs.

I think I made out one single sentence in 20 seconds of dialog.

I can usually get a fair portion of what a Scotsman is saying; I even understand more than half of Spud's dialog in Trainspotting :D

After listening for about 20 seconds, I just heard 10 o' clock. Something is going down at 10 o' clock.

I dunno...I dinnae have nah much trouble that. I only get a wee bit lost when the volume drops a bit to much when the mumbling starts, but even then they're accents aren't nearly as thick as an old friend's mother of mine. I'm not sure where she was from in Scotland, but it always took me a good three seconds after she spoke a sentence for my brain to understand it.

I could understand what the recovering addict was saying, and that was because he was talking slow. But when the dad in the blue shirt talked, it was like a completely different language.

No, its not german. Otherwise i would have understood it. Sounded more like an eastern-european language.

:lol: Just let my girl listen and she just gave me a funny look and said "it doesn't sound like English to me".

I do have to ask. Are they drunk, or is that actually how they talk over there all the time? because if so. Them and American drunks could talk all day and understand each other just fine.

Yea thats just a thick Glaswegian accent :P The girl is annoyed at her dad cos she has just finished school and wants to go out with her mates, but the dad has given her a curfew of 10 o'clock. She says that 'she isn't a kid anymore', and he is worried about her getting into trouble with pedophiles and the like

I got the general point of what was being said, obviously when local slang terms are used in quick succession it makes little sense though.

This isn't 100%, but this is the gist of it from 1:53 to 3:29

------------------------------------------------------

Dad: Don't argue, right?

Kid: For God's sake, I'm never 'loud to do nothin'. (Dad in the background: you're not staying out)

Dad: Don't start shouting at me, you're not staying out. 10 o'clock you're here for!

Kid: Watch me... ma (mum) I'm not comin' home at 10 o'clock. (Dad: want you BY 10 o'clock)

Mum: are ya? are ya?

Kid: I'm nearly 16, you can't keep me in. I'm not being home for 10 o'clock.

Mum: are ya?

Kid: No I'm not ma, no coz them there's presentin' at 10 o'clock (something something)

Mum: You're not stayin' out then.

Kid: (sarcastically) 10 o'clock's long enough then, aye, alright. Oh shut up.

------------------------------------------------------

Kid: I've normally gotta be home for 10 o'clock but it's Saturday, I'm nearly 16 but they're gonna keep me in (cry).

Friend: Move out, have parties.

------------------------------------------------------

Dad: There's a lot of stupid people about there.

Mum: There's too many things happening these days (something something).

Dad: There is dirty men who are there, But see when paedophiles come outta jail, we see where they all come, they come to (something), mostly they come to Kilmarnock but there's a paedophile cult (and something). As long as she's with somebody to walk home with, at quarter to ten, it doesn't bother me. If she's not at that door, she'll hear me. You hear the cheek over there? (as in being cheeky).
