what do you define as a "british" accent exactly? I'm pretty sure for example Manker and myself sound very different yet both have a british accent.

I can't explain it I guess. I know it when I hear it though. Words are pronounced differently and have different inflection.

There was a fella I worked with in Virginia that was from the Caribbean islands. He had an island accent but it sounded British. When I asked him he told me the British originally settled the island he was from.

It's weird that manker can't recognize Lennox as having a Brit accent yet over here it's CaptainObvious.

Incidently he told the story where he impregnated 2 woman on different occasions on the same day. He has two kids conceived on the same day from different mothers.

If anyone can find an audio clip of someone with a geordie accent and another with a welsh (dunno what part tis manker) accent just to show what I mean.

None of this arse off big brother fake geordie accent shite though, or the mackem accents in byker grove, byker my arse, pennywell (monkey smell) more like!

to be fair, it's also every canadian I've ever met (1), she thought I was from Ireland.
Maybe being mistaken for scottish is slightly acceptable though, there are a few similarities between 'em and geordie

Canadians are harder for me to put my finger on. Alot of comedians are Canadian and I mistook them for American. Lennox sounds nothing like any Canadian I've ever heard.

The only European I've ever "dated" was a beautiful woman from Switzerland. Her last name was Bruhwiler. I met her while doing work at the Washington Monument and she asked me to take her picture (with her other female friend). From there I got her number and then we met up later the next day and a had beautiful night on the Baltimore Harbor (she'd never been there).
The rest I won't go into.

I regretted not keeping in touch with her. She was beautiful, voluptuous, fit, and funny. We kept in touch for awhile by email and she invited me to Switzerland but I never took her up on it.

I think she said she worked for Pfizer and was just traveling around the world. I remember not hearing much of an accent until she said "vich one" instead of "which one". Her father was German.

Oh yes, her, I know her, what with us both being from Europe.

I can't believe I read the whole thread , but often wondered why it ends up in the lounge . But Lennox Lewis to a Canadian sounds like someone with a phoney Brit accent or someone trying to gain fans from his new country .



How do we explain Mike Tyson ( Helium breath ) I hit him in his equilibriums he went down !


Edit : Had to think about that .
