Am I weird for thinking that it's cool that you get to walk thru a graveyard twice a day?

I think it's really cool as well. Every time I see something like this, it reaffirms my resolve to get to the UK someday.

Only as weird as me

I think it's cool too. After all I choose to take that route every dry day.

Looks spooky to me. I wouldn't want to walk through there late at night

Lovely!

The first house I lived in in Yorkshire backed onto a graveyard. The house was built into the hill at the back (no back door) and the graveyard started a little on the rise. This meant that the ground and graves were level with back windows and the main bedroom which had front and rear windows looked out onto the overgrown grass and graves. Eerie at night.

Very very nice! thank you!

I was thinking at about 1:35... you need more speed! You'll never clear the hedge!

Thank you!

The question is what kind? Do you want a Crocodile Dundee kind of accent or an Adam Hills type accent (see clip below) or a bogan accent (see 2nd clip-Dave Hughes in the flannelette shirt. BTW, N Really SFW) or the elongated oooooooooo of New South Welshmen and Victorians (Paul McDermott, the guy who introduces Dave Hughes could fit into this category)?

Just heard an American (on TV) say dossle where I would say DOE-sile (written docile).
Made me think of here.

Clodfobble · 06-25-2011, 03:14 PM

That's one of those words that varies among American dialects. Down here we'd say "daw-sile."

That's how I'd pronounce it. I didn't know there are different ways to say that word. How else can you pronounce that word?

Sundae · 06-25-2011, 03:22 PM

Also realised that ile has different pronunciations.
Doe-sile is where ile rhymes with bile not bill.

Here's a little humour around accents and class :p

Cultural note: Blackpool is in The North, and is a traditional seaside holiday destination for the working classes.

And just as an accent and class comparison, from the same show: John Bishop. A working-class Liverpudlian:p
