You're BRITISH? I thought you were faking it!
Because come on, that accent is SO not believable....
lol
We don`t all talk in a posh upclass accent......im from London and if I spoke to you in my real accent you wouldn`t understand me...GOV.
Lol - I've been there. hmmm lots I can input here in this thread. I was born in east London and HAD a heavy cockney accent [still have it while watching 'Football' and 'East Enders'] . When I moved to Canada as a teen it seemed almost like I was speaking chinese to my classmates so heavy was my cockney accent. Did I ever get hammered with enthusiastic Monty Python skits in their best limey impersonations, and 'hey man, speak english we can't understand you' lol! Words that mystified my friends were>
lift[elevator]....boot[car trunk]..... lorry [truck].... trousers[pants] .... telly [tv]... aluHminium [aluOOminum]
the funnier ones were >
tomaHtoes [tomaYtoes].... fag [cigarette].... knackered [tired] poof[fag]
the best one perked my ears in astonishment when my Canadian teacher in some sport class told us- "Show some spunk you guys!" ----spunk in UK [at that time at least] would mean the gym teacher wanted us to all jerk off!!
Be a tough guy and say this in your best limey accent.
"Wotch it squire, or I'll duff yer 'ed in- you bleeding ponce!"
It's funny now because Quebecors with normal local dialects at times go through the same 'what did you say?' when talking with people from France, meanwhile Africans from French speaking African nations generally have a sweet dialect.
My situation was opposite to yours Silver,

. I grew up always in schools/neighbourhoods like 20:1 white/black. Personally even with all the racist junk thrown at me, I chose my friends by their personality similarities; skin colour never determined who would be my best friends. I never understood as a kid why kids stayed in groups by colour/culture... But I did see ignorant racism on both sides of the coin. I agree with Silver on making a point in the way only a pesky/bullying troublemaker understands- otherwise things only get worse. ... seeing a skinhead or anyone being racist days after I watch some documentary on the Holocaust, rwandan genocide, balkans atrocities etc., really has me on the edge of acting out in a volatile way in. In my opinion most dimwits acting out racist from whatever nation on this Earth, are just plain ignorant and I have pity for their disadvantaged outlook more than anger; a 'you need to get laid' comment or similar is best rather than go down to their level.

Hey Feez,
Off topic, but I thought you'd like to know that Kungfu has been spotted on the Stock maps the last couple of nights ... and no Feezy! She was on about 22:00 GMT.
btw Feezy,.... KungFu was just being a tease last night when she told you I was flirting with her.... I just played along on her cue. Methinks she likes you lots. Send her a belated Valentine pm message you slowpoke.
