Unit Request: Brum

Goldflash · Sep 09, 2006, 12:48 AM

So, to go along with my highly anticepated British Children's Television mod, I decided I deperate need....
BRUM! The Super Brave Hero!

C'mon! Its Brum! He's awesome! Plotty, you're British! You know what I'm talking about! You've probably even been to Birmhingham. Oh, I'm sorry. The Big Town.

We all need Brum!

Plotinus · Sep 09, 2006, 01:47 AM

I've been to Birmingham, but I've never seen that thing before...

Stormrage · Sep 09, 2006, 02:32 AM

I remember watching Brum when I was a kid. Wtf you gonna do with that unit!?

Heretic_Cata · Sep 09, 2006, 02:53 AM

Ummm ... LOL

kairob · Sep 09, 2006, 04:32 AM

@ Stormy: Isnt it obvious? it's a specialised super camoflaged mechanised infantry, who sneaks upon unsuspecting foes then when they least expect it releaces toxic gas and runs over those who remain in an evil phycodelic rage...
...either that or it drives around and gores "brum"...

odintheking · Sep 09, 2006, 08:52 AM

Holy crap! Those British guys sure come up with some weird kid's shows (Teletubbies or Boohbah, anyone?)

kairob · Sep 09, 2006, 09:08 AM

Britain used to have awsome kids tv, then it all went downhill...

Virote_Considon · Sep 09, 2006, 09:16 AM

Yeh. When I was a kid, T.V. here was much better.

Partizanac · Sep 09, 2006, 11:04 AM

Every time I think about the British I just remember the show "Only Fools and Horses!"

kairob · Sep 09, 2006, 11:20 AM

that is an awsome program!!! But seriously faulty towers is the best!

Goldflash · Sep 09, 2006, 12:51 PM

No way, man! Brum! Haw-heenk! He's a little car! He drives around! And he helps people! It usualy involves some sort of heavy object on wheels rolling down hill. Or some bad guys stealing a heavy object, then, through ineptitude, losing it and cause it to roll down hill. And then the bad guys fall ina puddle and get arrested and Brum returns the heavy object. And all the time his headlights are moving looking around at stufff and his doors are opening and closing and the bonnet flaps pop open...

Speaking of bonnet, you learn so many british words on that show... Like what the hell is a 'skip'? Is that like, a dumpster? Because the old sofa had to go in the skip.

Quinzy · Sep 09, 2006, 01:12 PM

a skip is a big ole' metal/plastic box with a lid, and its used as a giant bin, usually used in construction sites, or big companies.

Goldflash · Sep 09, 2006, 01:20 PM

For garbage? So it is a dumpster, then.

Quinzy · Sep 09, 2006, 01:54 PM

well, usually for heavier garbae, like when your moving house and you wanna dump the old couch or something. or, as my uncle uses his two for, dumping rotten fruit and veg and boxes and potato bags etc..

Goldflash · Sep 09, 2006, 04:04 PM

So its a dumpster.

Plotinus · Sep 09, 2006, 08:12 PM

What the hell is a "dumpster"?

This is a skip:

It is used for rubbish, not "garbage", and one puts the old sofa or settee in there, not a "couch"!

Now going vaguely back on OT, I'm assuming this must be some kind of new children's TV show since I've never heard of it. Is it called Brum because that's the sound a car makes, or because it's from Birmingham?

Storm Grunt · Sep 10, 2006, 07:10 AM

Our equivalent to a "skip" would be a "roll-off" -used for construction and demo work mostly. Hauled away when full.

A "Dumpster" is a commercial use trash collection point usually used by business's or apartment complexes that is emptied on a weekly schedule.

Quinzy · Sep 10, 2006, 12:55 PM

plot: i presume a little from both. a brummie car! haha.

Snakelover · Sep 10, 2006, 03:09 PM

I'm too scared to model this unit...

Stormrage · Sep 10, 2006, 04:06 PM

All those things are dumpsters. A dumpster is a dumpster, and you should put mostly dead people in it. In pieces, if possible. Brum is called Brum cos its a car (Brumm, brrrumm).

And I think the time to send Goldflash to therapy has finaly arrived.
