Fun Stuff > CHATTER
Anyone here from the UK?
Barmymoo:
I always talked "posh" according to people at school when I lived in Halifax (that's about ten miles from where tommy is from so we probably sound fairly similar?) but when I moved to the Welsh borders I suddenly had a very strong Yorkshire accent. I think to be fair I do exaggerate it a bit but also since most people sound Welsh round here, anyone else sounds Yorkshire in comparison.
Well, not anyone. But still.
My gran is Scottish and she is very determined that that makes me Scottish too. She doesn't exactly hate English people but she's very, very patriotic.
Sox:
I was born and raised in Halifax, still live really close. I have the 'posh' Halifax accent too, but Tommy and I sound nothing alike. Tommy actually stole his accent from another location. Cheater. I'm thinking if I get him drunk enough, his other accent might come through.

Just going to prove that Manchester is better than Leeds at EVERYTHING.
(Is okay, though. I see United are in the League 1 playoffs!)

It'd be automatic promotion if it wasn't for the 15 point deduction, a good points 9 clear of Forest. I reckon we can do it.
Manchester was only better than Leeds at music 25 years ago. Sucks now, whereas we win. It's also wetter. It ruins us for arthouse cinemas and art galleries though.
Jimmy the Squid:
Man, I have no sense of where the hell my accent comes from (and neither, apparently, does anyone else) because it sure as hell doesn't sound that Australian. Also all this talk of animosity between the Scottish and the English makes me think of that scene in Romper Stomper where two of the skinheads are fighting each other and one of their mates is trying to break it up saying "Come on boys! Stop it! We're all White! We're all White!"
