My only accent story is the time in a pub when I was angrily accused (the guy seemed almost ready to start a fight over it) of putting on a "fake Yorkshire accent". In Halifax. Where I was born. And at that point had lived my whole life. I've now lived on the south coast for more than half my life, so the guy would probably try to deck me on the spot. (Meanwhile my southerner wife says that I don't have a noticeable accent, but whenever I read to our son and say "bath" or "path" rather than "barth" or "parth", hoo boy...)

Re: Accents, I grew up in Bucks. I used to sometimes get called called posh at school (in the same town I grew up) but then my wife says I sound common, and she doesn't sound posh to me, so [extremely centrist voice] I must be doing something right[/extremely centrist voice]. I dunno. I don't think I have a particularly strong accent one way or another. People can't generally tell where I'm from, anyway. I do probably sound somewhat like this guy: https://www.dialectsarchive.com/england-95 That's a pretty cool site btw, it has sample recordings of people from all over England: https://www.dialectsarchive.com/england and also tons of other countries.

Oh dear me posted:A Dutch friend told me he loved the way you could tell Wallace and Gromit were English even with the sound off. He gave a few examples but the one I remember was pulling down one's bottom lip when asking if people would like a cup of tea. ('I don't do that!' I thought, before I said it in a mirror.) I'd love to hear about the English mannerisms of the character who doesn't even have spoken lines.

That is, if you believe humans can "own" animals. I guess dogs don't have real passports so maybe they're just stateless

Ghost Leviathan posted:I felt like I was sounding sarcastic when I didn't mean to, because Grommit is a masterpiece of a character who says so much without talking. You should have posted a picture of your eyebrows - or a ridge of plasticine shaped a bit like an eyebrow - to help me read the meaning of your post better. (Seriously, how *can* they transmit so much information with just one bit of plasticine? Nick Park and the rest of the animators should get some sort of collective Best Actor Oscar on his behalf, it makes Bob Hoskins at the end of Long Good Friday look like a Moai) Sloth Life posted:An icon Again, they should use the bits of Keeping Up Appearances when she's on the phone as teaching exercises for actors. It's actually annoying that Roy Clarke never trusted her and her eyebrows enough to completely dispense with the "Repeating what the person on the other end of the line has just said" schtick, because you could practically lip-read the conversation just from her expression.

Jaeluni Asjil posted:It's deleted! Weird, she claims to have deleted the thread because she wasn't clear, but the only thing she's changed is her assertion that the hosts are both American? 🤔🤔🤔 Call me a conspiracy theorist but I don't believe she's listened to word one of the podcast and has just gone in two footed and hosed it.

Seperate post, seperate issue: octopus have broken the cartel and are offering £50 below cap prices. https://inews.co.uk/inews-lifestyle/money/octopus-energy-is-first-supplier-to-announce-customers-will-pay-50-below-the-price-cap-1497895 Apparently if you can find someone who's already on octopus, you can get a referral code that gives both of you a £50 credit.
