    Ever heard your own voice on tape? It shatters your illusions no end.

    When I hear people on the radio from my home town, I cringe like fuck. I can't stand my own accent.

    I'd rather sound like Stephen fucking Hawking.

    Do you like the sound of your own voice? And if not, what kind of accent would you like to have?

    Mine is weird. Sort of well-spoken (without being posh) with a hint of London twang and Devonshire Burr.

    When I'm angry it's more Londony, and when I'm drunk it becomes more Devony.

    I can't stand the sound of it.

    I find listening to myself on tape horrible - don't know why it is just embarrassing. My accent is not fairly soft but I still cringe.

    I don't like sound of my voice. It's too deep when I listen to it.
    This is just like that drug trip I saw in that movie while I was on that drug trip.

    I traveled to New York a couple of years ago. This'll be great, says I, no language barriers like what you get in France and every other country in the world whose language I can't be arsed to learn.

    It was worse than fucking Paris. No cunt could make out a word I was saying.

    Found myself repeating myself to everybody. Think I might learn how to sign or something else.
