WHY does my copy have to at the back of impenetrable shed several thousand kilometres away???? I want to revisit the Orange Dogs.

Simple thing is, I am wary about putting my image or voice on the net.
Tricky thing is, I don't have an accent. Rather, I don't have an accent. I can drawl like an Austray-yan, enunciate like an Englishman, or tork like a Yank. Sometimes in the same sentence.

The Adelaide accent is somewhat English sounding anyway, and I've spent so much time with international people that I've got in the habit of adjusting my pronunciation to make it easier for them to understand. I've gone through Blair-British and Simpson-American and even developed a "recent migrant from south-east Asia" voice.

So, whatever accent I'm doing, I'm faking it.

As a diversion, here is butterfingers exercising his Aussie Accent. This comes with a category five potty-mouth warning.

video/audio or it's a load of BS.....

See Adam Hills' accent-he's from the same neck of the woods.

I'd like to think my accent is of the Toni Collete/Rachel Griffiths/Cate Blanchette persuasion. However I have been asked if I went to an English public school???(WHAT?!?!) The New Zealander at work takes great delight in attempting to imitate my most Australian expressions (insert big scoff here) as do the North Americans in moments of national rivalry.

Have a word with Sandy Possum.
She won't break into your shed for you, but she might be able to "find" a copy.

Casi, I can't count the amount of times I've been identified as an Antipodean!
Limey & DanaC can confirm I do NOT affect an Australian drawl or say pin instead of pen. Some people are just bad at identifying accents.

Oh. I can sometimes be one of them. Confusing a character with a broad Geordie accent as someone Welsh :redface:

Neither do we...that's the New Zealanders. I remember once, I had a NZer sitting next to me on a plane. At that stage of my life, I was unfamiliar with the differences in the NZ accents. Said fellow passenger asked for something that sounded like /pin/. My geniune response was "sorry, I don't normally carry them around with me." We cleared up that particular misunderstanding fairly quickly.

Is it fellow Brits who have been confused as to the origins of your accent?

Psssst, where do they speak Geordie?

Heeeyyy....i didn't even know what a geordie was until one asked me out recently.

Apparently *wink*smirk*snort*, they are known to be well endowed.





Ok ok....can confirm on this instance

I found this helpful.

thats a Great but arragent song

There is justice, he does get shot in the end.

Don't most rappers (or hiphop or whatever you want to call it) write pretty arrogant lyrics?

It's not my thing personally. I don't see the need for all the swearing but sometimes the lyrics are quite thoughtful. This song is just a parody of himself though really. Surely? No one really thinks that much of themselves do they? lol

Ali, you know that, and I know that, but Zippy is still surfing a tidal wave of surgical anaesthetics and won't be down for a few days yet. Sarcasm is often lost post surgery.

In the mean time, be a love and freshen up his ice pack.

I like the song for the sheer arragents of it ,
its Funny

I liked the word FigJam so much I wanted to start a company just so I could call it FigJam.

I make pretty good figjam. Just ask me.

I once knew an aussie guy who called himself figjam on the internet. He was a complete fucking arsehole.
