The [BBC] Ventrilo channel could be described as the hub of clan communication, more so than even the forum. In Vent the individual characters of our members really shine through and it's not unusual for us to be laughing all night.
[BBC] have an enviable track record in scrim victories and some may say that the clan take gaming too seriously. Generally speaking it couldn't be farther from the truth. Whilst we 'play for money in matches', so to speak, we play just for the fun any other time.
The following audio clips are from recordings from both public and scrim games and they provide an insight into the kind of clan [BBC] are. Most unexplained laughter and comments refer to what is happening during the games rather than the conversations. Each clip has a short description along with a list of those who can be heard, usually in the order they appear.
Warning: Many clips contain naughty words
Special Note 2021: This content is circa 2012. Some of the clips are missing (The play button is not lit), they'll be posted if they turn up...

Bash Fest

Al Hardman, Greenberet7, Anth, Camper, ~Wibble~
Winding up Camper
A dead Tango and ~Wibble~ do their best to distract their last remaining enemy from killing their team mate.
Despite his dead team mates best efforts, Fwench Fwank runs around Alpestra seemingly oblivious to the fact that 3 players are chasing him around in circles all intent on bashing him.
Camper, Greenberet7, Phantom, Frank Fraser (aka Fwench Fwank), ~Wibble~
Wibnade!
Victim of a classic Wibnade, Phantom informs his team mates of the enemy positions. Concentrating on the game, ~Wibble~ isn't quick on the uptake...
Phantom, ~Wibble~, Camper, Greenberet7
Oh No!!
What begins as an innocent comment about Foy being the next map turns into an unlikely elocution lesson from Camper.
BigWorm, Phantom, ~Wibble~, Camper
Phanty Baby...
A lyrical interpretation of a warning for Phantom about Bundles firing position is followed by an incitement to vandalise a vehicle from Camper.
Camper, ~Wibble~, Phantom, Bundle, BigWorm
Football Quackers
The World Cup promotes a drunken debate on the lack of video replay evidence in Football...but Phantom diverts the conversation fairly quickly to Donald Duck via Emilio Estevez and the Falklands War.
Camper, ~Wibble~, Anth, Phantom
Worm's Picture Album
The addition of the Image Gallery to the clan site has prompted many members to upload various pictures. After initial enthusiasm BigWorm quickly loses interest, meanwhile Reggie eats pizza.
~Wibble~, BigWorm, Camper, Reggie Kray
Linsey Dawn McKenzie's T*ts
Still eating his pizza Reggie Kray proves once again that he is a mine of information. Exactly what class of information we'll leave up to you to decide.
Reggie Kray, Camper, ~Wibble~, BigWorm
The Birth of Two Clans
An inter-clan fun event required the naming of the two warring factions. A few minutes later...
Our spies in The Curry House have captured the voice of the Slayer! She speaks to the people she doesn't like at school. She speaks to people she doesn't know in local shops. She speaks freely to everyone in the world except her friends in the clan. It is sad that we must go to such lengths to hear our littlest voice...but here it is...
Slayer
The ~Wibble~/Worm Nade Exchange
For the second round in a row ~Wibble~ finds himself alone and sitting in the same spot surrounded by enemy's. The round ends with BigWorm enquiring as to the whereabouts of the grenade he threw after stumbling onto ~Wibble~'s.
BigWorm, ~Wibble~, MadChef, Camper
Love the Worm
Often victimised on public servers BigWorm displays some hippy tendancies in his new end-of-round nick change.
Camper, ~Wibble~, BigWorm
Wormmy's Likkle One
For the second time in one night BigWorm's "Love the Worm" end-of-round nick change causes a stir.
BigWorm, Greenberet7, ~Wibble~
Tongue Tied Camper
In a game of S&D Camper trips over his words and sets Greenberet off on a giggle...
Greenberet7, Camper, ~Wibble~, MadChef, BigWorm
Turn it Down
Whilst staying at a friends house ~Wibble~ finds that firing his weapon at 3am isn't quite as acceptable as it is at home.
~Wibble~, Greenberet7, BigWorm
Nonsense and Disinformation
It isn't unusual for there to be long periods on Vent where nothing much makes sense. Then there are the times where one team deliberately feed their opponents misleading information. Nothing you hear is true..
BigWorm, Greenberet7, ~Wibble~, MadChef, Camper
Shuddup...before Mum twats yer
Late nite waffling gets Camper in trouble with Mrs Camper. Being the modern age however her message is relayed from upstairs to Camper's chair downstairs via Slayer's Xfire.
Camper, PHANTOM, ~Wibble~
Heavy Garage Handbag
Late nite DJ Anth talks music with Camper, our resident Music aficionado.

BigWorm, Camper, ~Wibble~, Greenberet, Bundle
Fairies and Girls Guns
Sound bites from a round or two of S&D on Remagen sees an upset ~Wibble~ taking issue with the amount of Carbines in use along with Camper's penchant for camping his own spawn. Meanwhile Chef has an encounter with a live handgrenade and some pesky furniture.
Whilst Camper tries to coax out a lone AngryTroll he inadvertantly shoots his own team mate in a 'whose side am I on again' moment.
Camper, ~Wibble~, BigWorm, MadChef, Phantom
Confusing ~Wibble~
Recent visitor The{Pianist} has undesirable effects on ~Wibble~'s hearing.

4 Minute and 30 Second Ponyri

3-3-3
Beginning with Phant apologising for another TK this clip of vent chatter during a league match on Foy captures the closing moments as the clan hammers out a 3-0 round win. 3-3-3 referred to the round results thus far. The following round ended 3-0 also.
During the following round Worm offers advice to REGGIE about the use of his huge weapon.
Camper, ~Wibble~, REGGIE KRAY, BigWorm
Smelly Talk
Camper calls for reinforcements in the under-arm department and starts some discussion on mens toiletries of past and present. Towards the end of the clip the background sounds from war and ticking bombs strangely match anth's opinions. Is COD influencing anth's mind?!
Camper, ~Wibble~, PHANTOM, anth, Greenberet7
Present for Tango
Tango stalks ~Wibble~ on WinterAmbush and issues a poorly timed taunt. As he starts his sentence ~Wibble~'s grenade is already primed and its delivery can be heard over the open mic.
Tango, ~Wibble~
In the Mersey
As a round of S&D starts on Sicily, an Allied Tango spawns on a jetty and heads off in the wrong direction...
Tango, MadChef, Camper, Greenberet7, ~Wibble~
Spam Spam Spam Spam
~Wibble~ offers an opinion on being taken out by blindly thrown grenades and prompts a tale from Camper's youth.
~Wibble~, Camper, MadChef, Greenberet7
Spudguns, Rocks and Unconvincing Misinformation
This brief compilation sees NoseBacon (our resident moving target) explaining why he has trouble killing people. In the very next map he finishes top of his team for the first time only to shatter any illusions we may have been under. Meanwhile Camper continues to use his dodgy deception techniques....
NoseBacon, Tango, Camper, Greenberet7, ~Wibble~
Smug TK'ers and Greeny's Corner Camp Site
A poorly thrown grenade from spawn on Harbor prompts a Scouse exchange whilst Greenberet7 pitches his tent in exactly the same place that ~Wibble~ doesn't look....
A Keystone Cops moment on Foy ends unfortunately for Al and produces a classic Greeny giggle in the process...
Greenberet7, Al Hardman, Camper, Tango, ~Wibble~
Wormy the Northerner
The recent playing of a squeeky (some would say irritating)
hamster voice on Vent prompted a large amount of mimicry
recently that has proved unpopular with ~Wibble~. One
thing leads to another and
before we know it Wormy is
giving us his impression of what
Northerners sound like.
Geography however isn't one of his strong
points.
Greeny responds with his Hamster interpretation of a
Wormy Whinge.
It's an all BBC late night S&D session. The map is Pavlov.
All the Axis are dead except an inebriated PHANTOM who
is guided from
the ground all the way to the top floor and
then to a successful plant by
his helpful team mates.
An incoming grenade causes panic and with the
hard part
done, Phant promptly runs out of the top floor window and
falls to his death, much to everyones amusement...
In an S&D session on POW Camp, Camper points out that its Panto Season again and to prove it enters into a spontaneous albeit slightly dodgy musical number with Greeny and ANTH.
S&D on Railyard sees Greeny running around the factory floor trying to avoid 3 axis. His dead team mates Camper and a near-hysterical Wibble can only hear bullets pinging off nearby pillars and the swoosh of rifle butts behind him. In the melee all that can be seen are fleeting glimpses of the enemy. They disappear off the corner of Greeny's screen as he constantly turns just that little bit too slowly.
~Wibble~, Camper, Greenberet7, tOxIc
Moaning Minnies
The clan has a 'Friday Night S&D Moan In' about nothing in particular, except maybe our pet hate...bombs that don't tinkle when someone is planting or defusing. Four tinkle-less defusings in as many rounds prompted some discussion..
Black Panther, Johnfrost, Kimmo, Camper, BigWorm, Greenberet7, ~Wibble~
Wormy's Whine
Another round of S&D and an untimely death fuels BP's urge to drink. Wormy promptly demonstrates how they drink wine where he comes from...
anAngryTroll, Black Panther, Kimmo, Johnfrost, BigWorm, ~Wibble~, Camper, Greenberet7
Chefy Ramble
Our beloved Finn Chefy has a tendancy to ramble amusingly on beery Friday S&D nights. Meanwhile Camper trundles off to say goodnight to Mrs Camper...
MadChef, Black Panther, BigWorm, Tango, Camper
Just You!
During a night of S&D our Trolly isn't impressed when he gets taken out by a long range pistol shot in a last-man-standing scenario with Kimmo. A short while later at the start of the next map he gets his revenge. Seeing that as a fait d'accompli for the round he is unconcerned when dying at ~Wibble~'s hands a moment later, instead using his time on Vent to....well, vent.
anAngry-Troll, Kimmo, ~Wibble~, Johnfrost, tOxIc
Phantom Raspberry Blower
Sunday nite S&D sees Phantom suggesting to KB that he shoot at what little he can see of his opponent. At this point another cheeky chappy makes his presence heard...
PHANTOM, Camper, KB, LandWarrior, Greenberet7
Spelk Woody!
The introduction of AWE on the S&D server brings amusement at the Spanking of players who 'camp' for more than 45 seconds. Phant suggests an alternative message for display when a particular player (named Woody) is punished for camping. Much amusement results from his suggestion and its delivery but at the end of the day everyone learned a new word.
Greenberet7, Camper, PHANTOM, ~Wibble~
The Poo Fighters and Anth's Weapon
Straight-boy Camper makes a suggestion about who may be the sexiest man on the planet. A confused Wibble mishears the name of a band and his comment leads LandWarrior to suggest some new programming for the Discovery channel. Meanwhile an Allied Anth is just about to take a shot at an opponents head when the AWE mod spanks him for camping. Left lying down being repeatedly shellshocked on a staircase with his gun dropped on the steps in front of him he is at the mercy of an Axis bash!
Camper, LandWarrior, Black Panther, ~Wibble~, KB, F!nger$, PHANTOM, anth
The BP Execution Squad
Landwarrior is taken out by Camper just after Camper and Black Panther cross the river during a game of S&D on Wilsum. He reports the presence of the two as BP who had run scared and hid around the corner promptly shoots his team mate Camper dead as he rounds the same corner. Unable to focus through his tears of laughter BP finds it impossible to follow his dead teammate Wibble's advice..
LandWarrior, Black Panther, ~Wibble~, Camper, MadChef, KB
~Wibble~ Bash Failure
Wibble's bash failure rate is second to none. Exasperated at yet another missed opportunity he finds it hard to describe his problem...
~Wibble~, KB
Black Panther Does Wookie
Whilst trying to entice LandWarrior into saying a particular statement in Dutch, Phantom suggests an alternative language. At which point Black Panther's hidden talent is revealed...
It's the middle of August and Wibble relays his surprise at finding snow in his kitchen...
~Wibble~, Camper, LandWarrior
What have I just put there?!
During a beery round of COD4 S&D, ANTH types a message on screen. After taking a moment to consider what he has just written and remaining none the wiser, he asks the rest of the clan for their thoughts on the subject...
The mickey-taking can be merciless on Vent as this clip demonstrates. It's nearing the end of another round of CoD4 S&D on our 20 slot public server and Greeny notices that after 8 rounds Camper has 0 kills and 8 deaths...
After Frosty points out that Tango is using a girl's gun it emerges that the weapon in question actually belonged to a dead Camper. Under pressure Camper admits to creating the COD4 Small Arms Fashion Tragedy of the year.
Johnfrost, Greenberet7, Tango, Camper
BF2 - Nob-Jockey Convention?
Just before half of the BBC started what turned out to be a very amusing, very beery late Friday night S&D session against the Grunts, BlackPanther noticed that F!nger$ was playing Battlefield 2. Some 90 minutes later and our game has just finished, when BP notices, much to his disgust that F!ngs is still playing. His comment tickles ~Wibble~ and has undesirable effects on Johnfrost's beer...
Johnfrost, BlackPanther, ~Wibble~, IncognitoCulto
Thumbsy the American
Our favourite German missy, Thumbs has left us for a short time. On her last night she chose the maps and game types we were playing and revealed a penchant for Domination. BlackPanther practices his foreign language skills.
Thumbs, ~Wibble~, Johnfrost, BlackPanther, MadMan
Idiot Gun
Camper experiences the limitations of the Noob-Choob and recognises similar behaviour in others. Meanwhile COD4 new-boy IncognitoCulto stumbles through the world of Modern Warfare experiencing everything for the first time. A recently dead ~Wibble~ begins spectating his wide-eyed and inquisitive team mate as he picks up a dead KB's weapon. IncognitoCulto's comment as he's reloading it causes some amusement, at least for ~Wibble~ and BlackPanther...
It's the usual [BBC] Friday night 'Beer n Bullets' affair and the setting is S&D on Kelly's Heroes. LandW@rrior is the first to take advantage of a forward spawn and catches WeeDWaKKa & ~Wibble~ by surprise.
Weedy comments on his opponents pace which prompts Landy to give a brief rendition of the theme tune to a dodgy 80's TV show. ~Wibble~ replies in keeping with the recent [BBC] trend to learn (or create) some German words to make our European members feel more at home.
Other members contribute using the Ventrilo text-to-speech facility which ultimately leaves IncognitoCulto laughing so much (off air) he dies hopelessly in the next gunfight.
Some way into a round of S&D on mp_austria_small and IncognitoCulto finds himself on the wrong end of a grenade. Meanwhile a recent visitor to our S&D sessions is a player new to UO, Typhoon. Still finding his feet within the game he comes across ex-Founder member of [BBC], Balle, who is on the way to plant a bomb. Inexplicably Typhoon stands still and watches Balle as he lays down, deploys his 30cal and fires...much to the amusement of everyone watching.
It's S&D on Peaks and an American ~Wibble~ is convinced he's seen an Axis player duck down behind a wall. Only as he's firing does he realise it's one of his team mates. Meanwhile MadChef throws a grenade only to have it bounce back and blow himself up for the third time in as many rounds. The last Allied player alive is Anth and he tries in vain to hide in a bush whilst protecting his plant. Curly (aka Tango) is on a rampage though and after several rounds of dying at his hands ~Wibble~ gives Curly a suggestion as to which team he should join.
It's a beery Friday night bash, crash and smash fest as the clan takes each other on in a FlatOut2 Football stunt event where you have to fire your driver through the windscreen into the goal. One must take care to avoid the moving goalkeeper, the wall of players lined up in front of the goal, and the real wall upon which all of the aforementioned are standing. PHANTOM has just crashed headlong into the wall and it prompts others to comment on the lack of blood involved. It's at this point that Anth tries to say something. Meanwhile Wolfy scores, pushing PHANT into last place on the scoreboard as a result. Only then do we finally get to hear what Anth was trying to sell to a room full of drunken gamers in the early hours of a Saturday morning.
Johnfrost, KB, Anth, PHANTOM, ~Wibble~, MadMan, Wolf
Sort it out!
As the clip starts we hear ~Wibble~'s Thompson chattering away in the general direction of the elusive PHANTOM, who is only a few virtual feet away. It's PHANT's rifle that wins the battle though, causing ~Wibble~ to query his own aiming abilities. Meanwhile Cheffy tries to say something...
~Wibble~, PHANTOM, MadChef
Funny Bones and Banana Phones
Regular Friday night S&D fare sees ANTH falling foul of a wall thin enough for him to poke his arm through whilst he's trying to hide. His comment begins a dubious cultural exchange of colloquialism's.
After a drunken gaming session the guns have been put away for the night and a few hands of Texas Hold'em at PKR becomes the next distraction. Sitting around a virtual table, bluff and counter bluff becomes the order of the day, something that can be made more convincing at least against ones clanmates, with the use of Vent. In this instance one jack on the Flop and another on the River prompts Cheffy to speculate with a half-hearted verbal bluff. ~Wibble~ takes him at his word, folds, only to see Chef win with an inferior hand. Moments later and ~Wibble~ makes a comment about another player at the table, a comment which Chef then applies to himself, causing ~Wibble~ to have a Mutley Moment.
MadChef, ~Wibble~, KB
Poker Giggles
Several beers later and the three are the only ones left around an 8 player table. In PKR as you raise your bet, your character says (in an accent of your choice) "Raise". In this hand, the fellows find much amusement in raising and re-raising each other in a continuous and rapid cycle that lasts for a minute or so. Others join the table as this is happening, but leave almost immediately when they see what's going on. It's probably classed as a 'had to be there' moment, but those that were, probably didn't find that it helped.
MadChef, ~Wibble~, KB
Golden Wolf and Team Chef
Saturday night S&D on the custom map Stcomedumont and a topic of discussion begins with Wolf's decision to change the colours in his name from grey/silver to yellow/gold. Some time later and Chef attempts to surround an opponent, all by himself...
