Well, I have the picture. The Frenchun can verify that she sent it to me. I can send it to Edd if further verification is needed.
Other than that, you'll have to use your imagination. 0(8+)

I have an awful, awful East Belfast accent..

Anyone who's ever been to Belfast probably recognises the above...


when I was there I found it really hard not to laugh at that very accent, especially when you hear kids speak, noone in actually speaks but they "bellow/shout" what they are saying with their heavy drunk belfast accent


I wish I could argue with that, though I should point out most people aren't actually drunk, it just sounds like it :oops:

You disagree with that statement? :lol:

I was responding to Bratty's possible perception ;)

I read something by Stuart Maconie recently where he described the Northampton accent as "a sort of yokel Cockney", so I suppose that's how I must sound (at least to someone from Wigan).

Of course, in reality, I don't have an accent and it's the rest of the world that speaks in a funny way. ;)

What he said, in a not entirely dissimilar tone.

I do have a tendency to mimic the accent of whoever I'm with though. I can end up quite Brumy, Cornish, Welsh, Brisol and some types of Scottish-ness. I can't do accents deliberately though; I usually end up sounding like a Welsh Indian who's been drinking too much in Birmingham.

Aha - it was you.

I thought you posted it somewhere on the old place?

I did.

It was a long time ago however and someone here stated in my hello thread that he had a copy of it.

Aye, I did a "What do you sound like" thread, it wasn't hugely successful as people generally didn't have microphones or online storage...
Tinbath did a rendition of Postman Pat if memory serves, which David (TheChipmunk) did a song about Weasel.

Erm, thank you...
