I promise I'm nearly done with that Old English pronunciation video xx

[@advancedwatcher]

Brilliant! My dad died today (he was 92, I'm 66) and I wasn't expecting to laugh this evening. Bless you, Simon Roper.

[@timothyd181]

Sorry for your loss, it's never long enough but i hope those 66 years together gave you lots of good memories

[@advancedwatcher]

@@timothyd181 Thank you. Some, indeed. Overall, he was my dad and that's kind of unique.

[@TheUFCVeteran]

Sorry for your loss! Glad you were able to have a laugh today. All the best to you and you folks 😊

[@phoenixmassey]

My condolences.

[@dreddykrugernew]

92 eh, as my friends dad who was old and has passed would say, he has had a good innings. Something about people who where the war children, they wasnt old enough to fight but there was a fight to survive at home in itself. They are what I describe as the last people of Great Britain, they knew the old world of who we where and what we come from which is lost on todays people. I hope you celebrate his life and may his soul rest.

I found the bird footage really calming, thank you :)

You are SO original. Love the stuff you give us - especially your Old English. Thank you Simon xx

don't dare give up the Old English Videos…. or anything else, Simon. x

[@HJJSL-bl8kk]

Take as long as you need! It's not as if you're doing topical celebrity content. I really enjoy your stuff and I haven't even got an ology! You explain things really well. I'm probably old enough to be your gran but I wish I'd had teachers as good as you back in the day.

[@ComradeCheekiBreeki]

Wait, wait. I think we should hear the "dragon language" guy out

I think you are the most unintentional asmr channel on youtube. I sometimes watch the content just for relaxation. 😀

[@gothicsoldier]

Always love the bit of humorous ones here and again. New translation of Toby Commits Treasonous Manslaughter soon perhaps?

[@TovarichBramble]

As someone who swears in the office far too much, I shall now revert to “Goodness!!!” And “Fire and brimstone!” Although if if I’m feeling tudor-ish I may say gods teeth! 😂 all good things are worth waiting for and your videos are worth the wait!

[@Jablicek]

"Hell's bells" and "God's eyes" are good'uns too. Quite like them.

[@Muzprom]

Zounds!

[@carolinejames7257]

I like Simon's red devil, which is new to me. There are a lot of old 'religious' swears that were frequently contracted or made into euphemisms, along the lines of: God's wounds! God's blood! Hell and the Devil confound it! Christ on a cross! Hell and damnation! But my personal favourite used to be very common here in Australia, but is much less heard these days: Struth! An old swear, its brevity and simplicity appeal to me - and for those unfamiliar with it, it's a contraction of God's truth!

[@azredhead9666]

This is so amusing! What a great start to my day! Thank you Simon. 🥰☮

[@kawaiinoodels]

Take as long as you need. I'm sure the quality'll be superb.

[@JJ-sh4ue]

Ever since Burne, Roper & Sons you’ve never let me down mate. I thought the well deserved global superstardom that followed would change you. Glad to say it hasn’t, apart from the fancy woolly hat.

[@kf7872]

Thanks for making me chuckle on a Sunday morning. Will now consider preparing a spectacular critical comment for a future video. Suspect the bar will be high though 😂. P S. Take the time you need for the video. I love the quality of your videos; to me that is much more important than frequency of upload. And take the time to look after yourself and your loved ones. Also, take the time to enjoy our (possibly brief) British summer ...

Crazy gonna comment -- it's their sickness. We love the videos, keep them coming! 🍉 from Montreal

1:02 Can confirm. I had a roommate in college who spoke the East Riding dialect of Laruvian natively (it consisted of vowels and consonants (and had UG)).

[@blipboop5594]

[@TheMovingFingerWrites]

I think my favourite aspect of this video is the commenters’ names, but I do appreciate that no-one asked for my opinion.

[@Shakazaramesh]

Anyone else look up what the Laruvian language and the Nacrumantian dialect are before realizing what he'd done there?

[@ABWEndon]

Interesting thought about Welsh not being the original Celtic language (presumably to the British Isles), but rather a "Dragon" language? As we know that the Celts migrated northwest to the British Isles from the European continent, my thoughts are along the lines of what race of people inhabited the British Isles before the Celtic migration, and what language did they speak? I can't think for one moment that there wasn't a race of humans occupying the British Isles before the Celts migrated. In historical terms it's not that long ago, considering the age of the human race.
