theunderstudy Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 That does not include any accent you already have! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted November 9, 2010 Moderator Share Posted November 9, 2010 I've a nack for accents. I can do many. I won a prize in primary school (I think I was 9) for doing a Scottish accent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theunderstudy Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 I can imitate a fair few, the scouse. Accent used to be a stumbling black, but now I think I've got that quite good. Australian, american, irish, welsh and a really stereotypical dutch are my gems in my repertoire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theunderstudy Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 BOF - what is the most amusing joke you have ever made? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted November 9, 2010 Moderator Share Posted November 9, 2010 My humour, when I'm not on here with the whiter than white VT crowd, can be how shall I put it 'controversial'. So my funnier 'in the moment' remarks would be very offensive, not to mention it's all about the timing and delivery, so you'd have to have been there (I think I got out of that quite well don't you ).

BOF Posted November 9, 2010 Moderator Share Posted November 9, 2010 Dublin IrishThere are an awful lot of very different accents within Dublin. From verrry common inner city (think Colin Farrell in Intermission or 'In Bruges'), to the relatively flat accent, to the pretentious snob one (think Rachel Allen) to the poncy D4 rugby crowd who say 'yaw' instead of yes and order a pint of 'probs' instead of Carlsberg And there's plenty in between those too Which one did you master ?

BOF Posted November 9, 2010 Moderator Share Posted November 9, 2010 You mean you're an off the cuff racist? No, I tend to leave race alone, but I think like plenty on here, I wouldn't be out of place in an episode of South Park Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theunderstudy Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 The Colin Farrell in in Bruges Dublin irish Although I've got to say, my Arsene Wenger interview impression is spot on "Well er... I think err we "ave to be grateful of the point we gained today... Sometimes errrr... You 'ave to take the rough with the smoorh... And I didn't see it."

Barry_Static Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 We got some Whiskas cat milk for our cats to try. Is it just lactose free cows milk or have Whiskas been milking cats? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theunderstudy Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 There's a fine line between an Irish accent and slipping into pirate. You mean you're an off the cuff racist? No, I tend to leave race alone, but I think like plenty on here, I wouldn't be out of place in an episode of South Park Not sure I can disagree with that, my humour is also fairly.... NSFW sometimes... I like a good harsh joke, like the Lily Allen one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
