Of course, I speak beautifully clearly, never use slang or owt me duck!

Ahhhh, yeah, I have to admit, I do have some trouble with RF's Geordie accent at times. But to be honest, it's a combination of the accent, slang, and his being so soft spoken that gets me.

Brad Pitt must of had a hell of time in Snatch , how did he audition for the role I wonder .



In my travling days people thought I was from NZ anywhere but Canada . Never knew us canuks had an accent eh ? Try talking to a few of my newfie friends . :)

Huh ? Was Sie Willis bedeuten. :)

Translation : What you talking about Willis . :D

goder hombre no conozco ningun "Willis"

No offence to any southerners on the board, but when I went to florida, that damn southern accent drove me crazy. Very nice people but the way they talked made me want to kill someone.

I like the british accent...

Europeans have accents? :huh: :huh:
