Americans don't have trouble understanding each other -- carefully-constructed region-directed insults usually solve that problem. emoticon


    Well thats cleared up that then.Mind you it seems slightly ironic that Britain is smaller than most states in the U.S. and depending on which part of Britain you come from you cannot tell a word someone is saying who comes from another part.

Much easier to understand people from Canterbury than from Glasgow... emoticon

But always sounds nicer than American accents.

Re: Christmas and otherwise.

Hmmm...
I sometimes wonder if Swedish Nightingale speaks like Penelope Pitstop...
Anyhoo, Happy New Year Folks! God, it's been several crazy days, especuially for me, being bed-ridden and all with the flu,listening, to lousy, awful, terrifying Portuguese pop on the TV emoticon and reading Urania (a seventeenth century novel), waiting for the Anabasis, and ordering Hrolf Kraki.

Well, Happy Hollidays, even if they're tardy

  Trust me it cannot be any worse than British TV at Christmas plus the absolute horror that is pop idol.

Re: Christmas and otherwise.

So would Swede yell 'Hay-elp!' in times of strife?

And why do'deep' Southerners always sound a little, well for want of a better word... simple, I mean you Americans have the Waltons, we have the Wurzels. We have that in common Swede! You may possibly sound like Ms Pitstop, and I may possibly sound like Sam Gamgee!

So Ntnon you've never encountered **** Dastardly and Muttley? Or the Hooded Claw? I weep for you son, I truly do! (actually had a little crush on Penelope as a kid, and Teela from He-man.... somehow I think I will regret writing that)

I'll protect you from the Hooded Claw, keep the vampires from your door....
