    Hey guys... This thread is cracking me up

    The visualisation going on in my head is most entertaining, it's brightened up an otherwise dull morning

    Cheers

    Smile This may be the first time I've seen "safety word" mentioned on PL...

    I think you need a better safety word. How about...

    Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwyll-llantysiliogogogoch

    It's the name of a town in Wales UK.

    To use a quote from Blackadder (you have seen Blackadder haven't you?)...

    "Have you ever been to Wales, Baldrick?"
    "No, but I've often thought I'd like to."
    "Well don't, it's a ghastly place. Huge gangs of tough sinewy men roam the valleys terrifying people with their close harmony singing. You need half a pint of phlegm in your throat just to pronounce the placenames. Never ask for directions in Wales Baldrick, you'll be washing spit out of your hair for a fortnight."

    Actually, no - I haven't. Never even heard of it.

    Oh damn... That's priceless! And yeah, it's true. I've been to Wales once, for about a week. Almost as hard to understand the accent there as it was in Scotland. I suppose if I lived there for a few years I'd get used to it, but it was a real shock to hear someone talking the same languange I was and *still* not be able to understand them.

    I guess cockney would have been even worse though. Thankfully I've never encountered it in real life.

    On the subject of funny accents (and picking on the Scots in particular), did you ever see Robin Williams' stand up routine about golf? Oh man... I nearly pissed my pants when I first heard it. And while he's no Scot, he actually does a half-way decent job of imitating the accent. (Well, he's got the timing down anyway.)

    For the record, when I was in the Navy my submarine used to refit out of a ship anchored in Holy Loch, Scotland (near Dunoon). Damn, I miss the awesome fish and chips you used to be able to get. (If you were lucky, you'd get it wrapped in a page 3 girl!)

    You're making me feel hungry now, it's almost teatime here... Fish and chips for tea perhaps

    I still remember my first phone conversation with heroic. I said...... "Uh, that accent... Where are you from?"

    She said "The UK! And you are from Ohio!"

    She's right, you know!

    James.
