ME Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 Karen Matthews gets out of jail today. It's not that that made me chuckle, it's my missus's quip: (TV news report): "Karen Matthews says she's been missing sex in prison" Me: "I'd have thought you could get plenty of sex in prison, if you're not fussy about who it's with" Mrs M (without missing a beat): "If you can't find a partner, use a wooden chair..." This made me laugh quite a bit!!!!! And it cheered me up. Also, talking to my papa *grandfather*. Just a seriously wonderful man who doesn't have to do much to make things great.

Genie Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 Two wins in three weeks. I knew without reading any further this wasn't going to be related to AVFC. EDIT: Just realised, that could be 2 wins in 3 months and would still not be relevant to Villa :-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villaajax Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 It's funny, when Tom Jones was on the One Show a few weeks ago, my dad said "You listen to them, if you put two Welsh people together their accents get even worse" and they did. I guess I can't stand the Welsh accent because of my driving instructor, he was like an even whinier Jonathan Davies On a side note, I just realised how much my driving instructor looked like Nigel Thornberry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's what people do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eames Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 Or Mrs E with any other regional accent. She starts to pick it up immediatly. Its going to get her thumped eventually because her bristolian just sounded like she was taking the piss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ginko Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 It's known as Communication Accomodation Theory, or convergence and it's when you subconsciously adopt the accent of whoever you're talking to in order to ensure good communication. It's all class-based, so for example, Upwards Convergence would be somebody with say a working-class accent, generally the northern accents, talking to someone with what would be considered a higher-class accent, such as someone who speaks with Received Pronunciation (a.k.a The Queen's English or BBC English) and for the northerner to adopt aspects of RP in order to ensure fluid communication and no doubt various other reasons. Likewise, Downwards Convergence would be someone with a higher-class accent changing their accent to what is conceived as a lower-class accent, something which my dad does on a regular basis but he doesn't do it subtly at all. He can't help it, he just does it, but it's cringing as hell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PompeyVillan Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 I do the accent thing. I don't do it with all words, but only some that are really distinctive and especially with Bristolian and Scottish accents. When I become aware of what I'm doing, I do it even more. I work with people from all over the country and as a result I have quite the repertoire of accents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
