British Members: New TV Show Is Looking For The Loudest Snorers

Post by ChicagoGranny » Sat Aug 24, 2019 2:45 pm

Please tell the idiot producers snoring is no laughing matter.
If you ever wanted 15-minutes of fame — this may be your chance!

Snoring : That annoying habit in the bedroom that can tear couples apart. And, that’s exactly what this new British TV show is looking for.

A production company in Britain is looking for the loudest and most hardcore snorers on the planet to take part in a new television series!

Firecracker Films is making an exciting new show for a major terrestrial broadcaster and we’re looking for some of Britain’s biggest and loudest snorers.

It's not clear what the objective of the show is, at least not from that article.

If the show brings more awareness to the seriousness of snoring (intended or not), it could be a good thing.

Duh.
Much of the basis of the show is still under wraps ...

My point was that there were a presumption in the original posting that this series was somehow meant to take snoring lightly. There certainly was not enough information given to make such a conclusion. It could very well be a serious effort to educate the public. Even if that was not the intention, it could still be the result!

The recruitment refers to snoring as an "annoying habit". Snoring is not a habit and referring to it as a habit with the disparaging prefix "annoying", is not how one would describe it they intended on being helpful.

I would think lightly snoring would be less of a problem. As far as a serious effort to educate the public, FAT CHANCE. Just more Mindless T.V. for the Masses. Jim

No, a habit can be unlearnt.

Then go there, and spell it for us. :roll: Jim

Better Still go to Viet Nam, and học hỏi!

Learnt and learned are both used as the past participle and past tense of the verb to learn. Learned is the generally accepted spelling in the United States and Canada, while the rest of the English-speaking world seems to prefer learnt.
