About 1 hour to go until a week of vacation - Tithe.   [&o][8D]

Any of you blokes see the movie "What About Bob?"  I'm going to be Bill Murray from that movie next week.  "I'm sailing!!!"  [:D]

Bless you Mike, and all who will sail with you.

Be sure to take a magic marker and write "port" on your left hand and "starboard" on your right. [:D]

Well....mostly because the Brits shipped a huge number of their nastier Irishmen to Oz...it was a sort of penal colony.

Hey .. hey .. hey .. Mars boy. That Martian atmosphere has dulled your thinking.

The Brits shipped a huge number of the best and brightest Irishmen (the ones that told them to go flog a rope) to Georgia first. Then, after we told 'em to bugger off, to OZ. Why else did OZ make Ted Turner an honorary Aussie?

There's 2 kinds of people in this world; sailors and not-sailors. There's 2 kinds of sailors in this world; us and everybody else. There's only a few kinds of 'us' in this world; Aussies, Kiwis, Americans from highly selective parts of the country, and maybe a Russian or Argentine, or a South African. Ok, there's a couple French, and a really good German. But in the only world that really matters, the real Pro's From Dover are those nastier Irishmen from the penal colony.

btw, ya want us to put some shrimp on the barbie for ya?

G'night gents [>:][>:][>:]

We should get Raverdave to come in here, and I'll spring my "You put the Queen on your money, you're British" quote on him...[:D]

That's ok. I'm not Aussie, and I'm sure neither of us would claim to be Brits; we just remember from whence the penal ships originated.

All I'm saying is that one man's "nasty, thieving, Irish transportee" is another man's ancestor, who founded polities that are frankly superior to those expressed by their purported jailors.

[Edit] And a damn sight better sailors, to boot. [:D]

Seeing as most of you guys are foreign...  Does anyone know why foreigners feel the need to try and talk to British people in an (poor) impression of a British accent? [&:]

Hi all,



What do you mean MArtin?

BTW, I was always told that I speak with American accent (and not British) in all accoasions... [:D]

Every time I go away (mostly to North America it has to be said) there is always at least one person who hears us talking and wanders over with what seems to be either an impression of Dick Van Dyke circa Mary Poppins or Queen Victoria circa 1900. [:D] And did I mention they are terrible attempts. [;)]

Don't feel bad, every Brit I've known here either thinks North Americans talk like Texans, Californians or , God Forbid, Archie Bunker style New Yorkers. Even they don't say "Turdy-turd street". Only Brits trying to be NYers do. Your lot has never heard of Canada , or even discovered that there ARE other parts of the USA. On the other hand , it's easy to sound like a Londoner....Just sound like you are from somewhere else! [:D]

no people try to talk like texans and try to have a texan accent and people from texas just look at them with a puzzled look. we really don't have that much of an accent the only thing we do different is use the word yall. and actors trying to do a texas accent are the worst. james vander(&#*(& in varsity blues is a prime example of this.

Of course part of the the problem might be that the British themselves not knowing what a British accent sounds like. With all your British actors doing American accents, and your country over run by foreignors, it's not wonder you are confused. At King Alfred's I was always being asked "what part of England are you from" by Brits. When I would reply "New England" , I acutally had people ask me "Is that near Wales?", and "Oh , that's near Devon isn't it?'. Needless to say , I quicly realized that Americans were not the only people poor at geography. [:D]

Poor is not the word [:D] I'll admit I wouldn't know most regional US accents from each other, but I do know that you don't just come in New York Gangster or Texan Cowboy varieties [:D] I wouldn't try to talk with the accent either, apparently I have a bad enough one already although I disagree. [:'(]

yeah and of course my state decided to perpetuate the cowboy thing some more.[8|]

see most of the brits i know like to use a 4 letter word that describes the female anatamy and starts with a c. they like it a lot better than wanker.
