    Yes, I was implying TP spent his time throwing rocks at squaddies and painted IRA murals during his childhood......
    I wasn't really. But I believe many Northern Irish Catholics saw/see the English (especially the up per classes) as occupants on their land. In that case it seems strange to me if some of them picked up their accent. I hope I'm not more insensitive than usual and/or my memory plays tricks on me about the religion of TP's family.

    :)) No worries N24 , while others were throwing stones, I was running about in a long coat and
    Scarf pretending to be Tom Baker :D I readily admit I've very odd, in that I'm an atheist but being
    N.Ireland, you're either a Catholic or Protestant Atheist. I'm a Unionist, in that I want to stay part of
    The UK ( unlike those Scottish guys :p ) so I like to think I'm the embodiment of the New N.Ireland
    Strong, independent and always looking for money off the English ! :D

    The English are hated everywhere for one reason or another.

    You don't get an empire without breaking eggs ;)

    In the UK, it's very simple The Irish hate the English, The Welsh hate the English
    The Scottish hate the English, ...... It's what unites us :p :))

    If only you'd all just done as you were told........
    I don't understand the Scottish, for centuries they invaded Newcastle on practically every weekend, got kicked out Sunday night then came back the following weekend to invade again, as part of the union they don't have to invade anymore. But apparently that's good enough. Now most the Scottish have left Scotland to live elsewhere in the UK, they can mostly be found in a pub sat on a stool telling anyone who will listen what a fabulous country Scotland is. :)

    Actually the English haven't been hated here since the wars of Napoleon. The exeption that proves the rule, perhaps?

    Perhaps, I think the Maltese quite like us still.
    Most neighbouring countries don't along very well at times. But aside from the rugby I like all the countries of the UK, we are stronger together and work well as a united Kingdom.

    Re Scottish accents, sometimes I think good, sometimes I cringe, sometimes I piss myself laughing.
    Jimmy Doohan bless him was convincing as the character, but his accent was impossible to determine. - Books say he was a Glasweigan with an Edinburgh inflected accent. But in actuality he sounded like neither.
    Paul McGillion as Dr Carson Beckett in Stargate Atlantis, a completely different story. His accent is convincingly Scottish, either West coast, or possibly my home territory the North East.

    From a Bond perspective CR-67 offers the worst. God knows what most of the McTarry girls are doing xAhm Daddee's wea therremomitter!" And John Houston is talking though his teeth or cheeks in rotation. Poor Deborah Kerr, the genuine article goes aff an wan tae make the scenes a pish take an naw mistake!

    Aye its an affie clorty gubbins sae it is!

    Who's needing a wee drop o summit? Holly!! Git aff that windie sill, you'l spook yon dolberman doon the lane!

    (Low grumbling growling from the cat as she pads to her basket for a snooze.)
    This is Thunderbird 2, how can I be of assistance?

    For some reason a Norwegian accent are more seldom heard in American and British movies than Scottish.
    But when it happens, it usually involves a liberal use of "yaaaaaaa". Let me just say that "ja" means "yes" and not "yeah". People, even in the Nordic countries, think all Norwegians end reir sentences on a high note. Actually that is mainly in the southeast, near Oslo, and the rest of us agree it can sound weird.
    We especially enjoy the episode of X- files that takes place on a Norwegian boat. I don't know who caches the Canadian (?) actors, but that Sweden is mistaken in his belief that he knows our language :))

    The intonasjon is Swedish or from the southeast of Norway. The words have a lack of hard constants (k, g, r, etc) and sounds slurred, typical of Danish. The person talking knows no real Scandinavian words.
  • Number24Number24 NorwayPosts: 22,349MI6 Agent
    And "hurdy-gurdy" is not a real expression in our languages, unlike "Fa Fa, fa-fa fa", an example actual posh English. :v
  • ThunderpussyThunderpussy Behind you !Posts: 63,792MI6 Agent
    Are you saying the posh airmen in " allo, allo"
    Were faking :D

  • Number24Number24 NorwayPosts: 22,349MI6 Agent
    No. I've learnt most of my English and French from 'Allo' Allo. The episode where the Gestapo learnt English was highly instruktive. It's the hurdy-gurdy that's fake. Do you understand? I will say this only once!

    It's amazing how people can lose objectivity when certain subjects arise!

    I'm very well thanks.

    "Arguing" is right, it was "religion" that caused trouble... er... perhaps I should have phrased that differently...
