about 2minutes… 🙂 I don’t critique, only in my head :sure: I was thinking about giving you my number, just for the fun of it, but I have some doubts about talking to americans, mostly because my accent is horrible, and I write US better than I speak it… 😛 seriously… =) ---

I’m sure your accent is lovely. Now mine is strange. Mostly it’s very clear, ‘posh’ English, but sometimes it degenerates into this God-awful sounding thing, where I start dropping t’s and h’s. There’s this place near where I was born called Chatham. But the locals all miss out the t and the h, so it sounds more like ‘Cha’am’. Down is pronounced ‘dahn’… Stuff like that. I tried to lose that accent, but occasionally it surfaces. 😏 ---

My mum is French. You should hear _her_ accent when she speaks English. 😉 LOL ---

you think that’s bad? My mum’s WELSH. I’m left with a Scottish accent with hints of Welsh rearing its ugly head every so often. ---

I used to go out with a guy who was half Welsh. He had the sexiest accent imaginable. 🙂 ---

I have a small Dutch / German accent when I speak English. So it seems… I was once compared to one of the Dutch football players for that. ---

Accent… I think that my pronunciation of R is pretty normal, but I think I’ve more problems with words. Oh, and of course, the pronunciation of THe (ve) and THanks (fanks). ---

Of course, Anne Robinson does the American version as well, doesn’t she? She also went on a program called Room 101, where a guest can put forward items to go into the Orwellian “Room 101” and banish them from existance. Anne Robinson selected the Welsh as one of her choices and caused uproar. 🙂
