No I was being sincere. Everyone always assumes it's an insult to be called a woman or gay thus making a straight man somehow the epitome of all that's human (pah, I think not). No-one ever says "no offense if I insinuated you were straight".

See what I mean?


I understand, glad the slight misunderstanding was only on my part. :yep:

Last time I went down to London to stay with one of my mates we went around with American accents acting like serious stereotypical tourists - it was brilliant, you could see the general population hating us more and more :biggrin:

Completely ace :biggrin: I change my accent all the time. At university it is slightly posher. In my job in York city centre it is now very Yorkshire-ish. At home in Cheshire it is like those on Hollyoaks. I did French at A-level but have yet to master the French-person-speaking-English e.g. Fleur Delacour. Must practise :biggrin:

I wish mine was slightly more exotic...
I've got a Welsh accent :frown:


Aww the welsh accent is endearing! :yep:
On the other hand people ask me to say 'byker grove' whenever I'm away from home. ¬_¬ :p:

I love that one - all you have to do is master the nasal laugh and the rest will follow :yep: My voice was always posher at school, because I would have got ripped if I hadn't changed it :biggrin:

My Singaporean friend stayed with my over Christmas and my Uncle and Aunty also visited. There was an awkward moment when she asked my Uncle why he had a different accent to my mum. He has a midlands/Leicestershire accent and the 'rents and I are pretty rp. I say a few words incorrectly and am laughed at. I say "pidding" instead of "pudding" apparently, and when I say "no" it sounds like "noyuh".

If it were based on fitness our team would win, then.

You had a ginger in your ranks :afraid: :vroam:

I felt the same way cause I vaguely know one of them, I wasn't expecting to recognise any of them
When are York on again? I don't want to miss them again.

Can someone post in here to say before the programme starts...maybe a day or so before or early in the day they are on? :biggrin:
