CAN YOU ADAM AND EVE IT? TONY BLAIR ISN'T BOVVERED!

Catherine Tate Show characters

In the following video with English subtitles, you can learn more things about Cockney such as when and where it originated (17th century, can you adam and eve it? (believe):

Now, this is the video we saw in class this morning (with English subtitles too). Please, do notice the examples from Old English Lauren uses:
for sooth (indeed)
thou (subject 'you')
thee (object 'you')
thy (possessive 'your')
looketh (look)
wench (girl or young woman)
You'll take the high road and I'll take the low road (from a traditional Scottish song):

Oh, ye'll tak' the high road, and I'll tak' the low road,

And I'll get to Scotland afore ye;

But me and my true love will never meet again

On the bonnie, bonnie banks o' Loch Lomond.

A rose by any other name would smell as sweet (from Romeo and Juliet):

Juliet:

O Romeo, Romeo! wherefore art thou Romeo?
Deny thy father and refuse thy name;
Or, if thou wilt not, be but sworn my love,
And I'll no longer be a Capulet.

Romeo:

[Aside] Shall I hear more, or shall I speak at this?

Juliet:

'Tis but thy name that is my enemy;
Thou art thyself, though not a Montague.
What's Montague? it is nor hand, nor foot,
Nor arm, nor face, nor any other part
Belonging to a man. O, be some other name!
What's in a name? that which we call a rose
By any other name would smell as sweet;
So Romeo would, were he not Romeo call'd,
Retain that dear perfection which he owes
Without that title. Romeo, doff thy name,
And for that name which is no part of thee
Take all myself.

Romeo:

I take thee at thy word:
Call me but love, and I'll be new baptized;
Henceforth I never will be Romeo.

Are you up for more Lauren Cooper? Lauren and her school mates and preparing to go on a field trip and like all teenage girls, that's no excuse to ignore fashion and style. Lauren's teacher, however, doesn't agree.

God, what is she wearing?
Looking forward to a slice of culture?
Miss?
We are all in for a treat today.
Are you a Christian, miss?
Is the Lord your shepherd?
Have you got Jesus in your heart, miss?
Are we your flock?
Get your things together or I shall suspend you from this trip.
Am I bovvered?


And finally, Lauren's famous sentence is thrown back in her face...



I'm here for work experience.
Ryan had this party last night and he didn't invite me or nothing.
Is he a Prime Minister?
He's on a very important call so you just take this in and come straight back out.
Was that someone famous?
Who is the most famous person you've ever seen?
