Nice post PH! And thank you for the complimentary words about my husband and son as well. They are a good group all in all.
I think you should choose a favorite poem, or read the first few lines of your constitution or something.
BTW everyone else: I'm sitting in the guest room every time I post here. It's where the computer is.

No No...
Read nothing that is american. I want to hear how thick your accent sounds. Try this:
My is name Neil Holmes. I am a British citizen. I was born in the Wirral near Liverpool/Wales, England. I've been visiting Heroes Community for a couple of years now.
Ok something like that. I think I'm off on the information of your home town and such but you get the idea.

Cool!
You sound so different from anyone I've ever spoken to. I think it's amazing. Truly fascinating. Humorous that you would even correct me on a sound byte exactly as you would in a post. Very fascinating indeed. Thankyou so much. Absolutely fascinating! I can't get over how different you sound.
Do all the people sound like you or....something slightly different?
For example, when I took German for a second language, I was taught that North and South Germans have a different pronounciation of the word "Ich". "Ich bin ein Johan"(I am John/my name is John) was pronounced as such: Ich = "ish" for one German while Ich = "ik" for another. I was taught this difference was referred to as "thick and soft". Some had thick accents while others had soft.
Anyway I find it truly fascinating the different popular words used between our two countries even though we have the same official language. And on top of that the pronounciations are similar yet largely different....I'm such a nerd.

*sighs*
It's "game over man, game over" and "you're dog meat pal!"
I rarely raise my voice Svarog, I prefer speaking quietly, and as consis points out, I'm no more a "British" accent than his is indicitive of an American one. Other than that I'm damned if I can work out what your jabbering on about.
Consis:
Imagine a country smaller than texas, but with about 20 odd distinctly different accents (and that's before we start on the different regional differences) and you'll get an idea of the variety in how people speak here. On TV and movies you rarely hear more than 2-3. Snatch and Lock Stock and Two smoking barrels for example are mostly populated by people with Cockney accents, ie those from East London. Daphne from Fraiser has some sort of ridiculous generic accent but the actor comes from Manchester IIRC. The Full Monty (and Brassed off IIRC) is set in Sheffield, so most people sport Yorkshire accents in that. Some of the privates in Zulu are Welsh. Generally speaking, US films with "british" characters give them either an upper class accent like say Mary Poppins, a horribly generic accent which fits none of those here, like Daphne, a cockney accent like Dick Van Dyke in Mary Poppins, or a general southern accent.
I sound most like a Scouser (ie people from Liverpool) but since I come from the Wirral, mine is a little off from it. I can tell the difference between the two, but I doubt non-brits could, or even Brits from outside Merseyside. If you want a challenge sometime, try to understand Geordie, ie people from Newcastle, or cockney rhyming slang Lancashire/Manchester accents are fun to, they tend to ignore the word "the" for example "You going down pub tonight with dog?"

Well I didn't meet anybody from HC but I did meet somebody from Kings of Chaos. I spoke to him almost 1 hour every day on MSN. I had always great fun with him and he used to put his webcam on and I used to put mine on too. With a headset I talked a lot to him!
He was going to the south of the netherlands for vacation with his friends. He came with 2 other friends I didn't know and he asked if he could drop by. All cool with me, so we met. The first minutes were a bit weird but that's normal I think
A day later I went to his campsite and we went out that evening. I'm going to celebrate the new year with him at his place. I'm going there @ 30 december and coming back at 2 jan. Sure gonna be fun!

PH -- LOL!!! Some of this stuff got by me yesterday -
You know, that crossed my mind when I posted that -- then I thought of something like the Magna Carta and was thinking that Great Britain is referred to as a "constitutional monarchy..." So what's up with that??
Did I really fly off into la la land there for a minute???
(ROFL)
Please straighten me the rest of the way out on all this. Thanks hun. Sorry for the brain fart.
BTW PH --
Remember I gave you free license to fry me about the way I drive... Did you forget???

I know. I have the same problem sometimes.
I was little drunk last night. I meant to say that all I hear when a british guy talks is mumbling. Quiet mumbling, to be more precise. And the girls squeeze the tones more, or as you said, its more cockney (hope i didnt vulgarized that word; cant go back to read it ). BUt british accents are quite interestig, especially scottish and the northern ones (like from "billy Eliot", if u've seen it)
I also made an attempt to thank you and PM for posting about that meeting of yours. It was a lot of fun to read.

As PM said, I speak softly Plus the quality of that recording isn't so good either as my mic is damaged at the moment, so it's never going to be loud anyway short of shouting
Billy Elliot I've not seen, but that's one of about 12 distinct northern accents
As for your opinion on British women's accents, I suggest you broaden your experience of them.

It's a term that divides a monarchy upon which limits are set such as ours from absolute monarchies such as Louis XIV of France. Limits such as parliment setting policy and so on. The magna carta means little really to modern day Britain in terms of a constituion, we remain subjects, not citizens. We operate more on good will than enshirned rights
And no I did not forget, I'm saving it for a better time...

So I decided to go check out this art show. The featured painter was supposedly pretty good...for a modern artist that is.
Fact is, most modern art is ugly as all get out. Talentless pukes dominate the scene here. And with bastardized versions of relativism and *ugh* acceptance running rampant in American society, mediocrity packaged as originality is accepted all too often. And fair and just critics(such as myself) are often cited for disrupting the poor little self-esteem of these dweebs.
Well, I decided to actually pay one of you yutzes a visit. That's right. I spent my hard earned cash to get a real life look at one of the more notable of you social miscreants.
Stay tuned as I present a no-holds-barred picture of what one of these real life meetings is really like. Needless to say, it was a complete waste of my friggin' time.
