I was tempted. But I try to resist the temptation to attempt to talk like someone from Edinburgh. Or even someone from Scotland. It just sounds pathetic. I do have an accent (which becomes more pronounced in Scotland), but people can never identify it - I've been asked if I'm Canadian, Irish, etc.


When I was down in Cam for open days some guy behind me in a queue asked if I was American. :confused: I do have a bit of a weird Scottish/Irish/English hybrid accent, but it's still MAINLY Scottish..
someone once asked me if i was german ? :frown:
Someone once asked me if I was a pirate...
Someone once asked me if I was the manager. :eek:

Strange...

I know what you mean about distractions though. I'm supposed to be doing my biology coursework :redface: (To be fair though, it is ecology. They can't really expect us to be enthusiastic about it... :rolleyes: )

The real question is why does it have to be lovely and sunny when I have a sore eye?
Can't even have the curtains open :frown:

The only problem is it's the one time of year we have to be working...then it gets to June, and the weather goes nasty again :frown:
