The Latin phrasebook one is _so_ David, it almost borders on ridiculous.

[@jgg75]

I have been watching this show since 2009 and there is no way I'd still watch it if it wasn't for David. Lee is great but I keep coming back for David.

[@dragonsdynamite6403]

I completely agree. Lee, as funny as he can be, becomes annoying.with childish dad jokes. Especially “my client would like a moment” and “you’re digging a bigger hole for yourself.” Funny the first time, much less the second and annoying afterwards.

[@paulareeds5088]

Totally agree. For me, I much prefer David's sense of humour and grumpiness. 😊😊

[@paulareeds5088]

​@dragonsdynamite6403 Oh so agree, Lee's humour a lot of the time is just stupid, for me David's SOH is so much better. Also love Bob Mortimer on the show.

[@jadhamizan]

Exactly. Lee can be funny at times, but he often descends into belittling David (and Rob) or the other guests, which gets weary very quickly. That one episode when Lee was absent & Greg Davies was the guest team captain in his place is one of my favourite WILTY episodes.

Interesting how UK people have a higher knowledge of birds. In France, most of the people do not even know that a 'troglodyte mignon' is a bird

[@googleplussuxheavilyperfum5257]

I suspect that in most places if you asked someone what a "troglodyte mignon" was they wouldn't know.

[@jeromeem.2603]

Yes this was my point@@googleplussuxheavilyperfum5257. In this show, and I guess generally in UK, I have the impression that everyone knew that a wren was a type of bird. In France (and I guess generally everywhere else in the world) very few know that

I don't believe the red switch one no matter what he says. There's no way in hell I can imagine someone as neurotic and weird as David not at least finding out what a red switch in his home does for 11 years. Total horseshit. Him not hitting the switch, fine fair enough but there's no way he doesn't know what that switch does.

[@nicosmind3]

Surprised that David would suggest that Station didnt exist in Latin (1 outpost, picket 2 station 3 watch) when theres so so many examples of station being used in Latin. Even knowing the absolute basics all words that end in tion have a Latin equivalent

[@dragonsdynamite6403]

Perhaps different meaning. Didn’t station relate to troops awaiting in position?

[@johnnyenglish583]

but the word "station" did't have the same meaning as "station" today because stations as we know them didn't exist. It would be what's known as "a false friend", effectively - the same word but with a different meaning. Kind of like "demand" which means, well, to demand in English but it only means "to ask" in French, doesn't it?

[@fletcherb4728]

If it is true David uses pinless payments, surely Lee would know this. Unless David is so cheap he's never shouted for coffees or a round of beers in his presence haha.
