The strange times that people would ask me just to talk and I'd ask what about. Anything, just talk would come the reply. Now back amongst my fellow native true born English nobody gives a damn how I sound only what I say. And, damn Sean Connery with his Scottishness.MarkNhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06170618262031833829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8358039.post-9203375105176788132015-10-28T11:50:31.067-07:002015-10-28T11:50:31.067-07:00Well, the language is called English and not Ameri...Well, the language is called English and not American for a reason. Can´t fake the original. <br />Also, American accent makes you sound a little like Bush and Obama (now, that´s what I call between the devil and the deep blue sea)...and don´t forget the blonde who didn´t know that Hungary was a country. <br /><br />As a sort of a linguist (another worthless, isn´t it) I would say: the clear distinction between high and low British accents bears fruit. With your accent alone you can claim all the greatness from Shakespeare to Churchill and refuse any affinity with the hooligans(while still watching soccer).<br /><br />The only possible advice: fake it until you make it.European Bastardnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8358039.post-69008031905997579052015-10-28T05:54:09.640-07:002015-10-28T05:54:09.640-07:001432fpchero

Bitter ale (and many other types of ale) should be drunk at about the same temperature as red wine, around 14 degrees. Some richer, sweeter ales such as ruby ales can be drunk at room temperature depending on personal taste but never warm unless you go really traditional in winter and mull ale (I have never tried it, although I mull wine). However a summer ale or even IPA should be cooler, and a lager, pilsener or a porter stout (e.g. Guinness for the knowlessmen; I include Czech or Belgian dark beers in lager) should be refrigerated, served at around 5 degrees. Budweiser (American, not the proper Czech stuff) should simply be poured down the nearest drain to avoid an unpleasant waste of time drinking then pissing it.<br /><br />Unfortunately Americans had no idea what variety of beer existed until the current rise of the craft beer. Therefore you never understood that we do not drink those beverages you called beer warm; we either left the flavourless crap alone entirely or drank it as cold as you do. We drink entirely different drinks, some of which even have flavourings such as honey, heather, pine or seaweed, at a variety of temperatures depending on the drink and personal preference.<br /><br />As for bad food: McDonalds. No need to say more.<br /><br />For stuck up you will not find anyone in Britain like a New England old families, and I know the odd earl and marquess. I've even met a duke and been inspected by the Queen, and I attended one of the top two universities here and worked for one of the top London gentlemen's clubs (no, not euphemism for strip club; the Reform Club was started in the 1830s). Never found anyone particularly stuck up whatever their background.Doubting Richardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16507892426345836143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8358039.post-86851708295147712042015-10-28T04:19:56.086-07:002015-10-28T04:19:56.086-07:00Qhy don't you just hire a bimbo to read texts ...Qhy don't you just hire a bimbo to read texts that you prepared?

The Irony of your post is that the real Engelbert Humperdinck was a German composer.<br /><br />Some fights aren't worth fighting. Aaron Clarey is already a British enough sounding name but you could kick it up a bit by changing it to Rupert Somethingorother hyphen Clarey and getting a speech coach to teach you how to speak with a British accent. If you do that you will see your career explode.minutemanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13761939172653400728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8358039.post-14329096371169035612015-10-27T14:16:49.375-07:002015-10-27T14:16:49.375-07:00lol funny post Cap but as an Australian I don'...lol funny post Cap but as an Australian I don't get it when people say Stefan has a British accent man - he just sounds Canadian to me.

David Tennant, a recent Doctor Who, has a natural Scots Accent (I think the same is true of Peter Capaldi) but as a result of his training can do Educated Brit with ease.<br /><br />Educated Scot, my own croaking sound, is different again. Sean Connery gets close. Tones of iron stand by for moments of anger.<br /><br />And I mustn't forget the Welsh. They can sound a bit whiny, but if you Tube the singer Tom Jones you will find a masterfully male voice. Tom is even older than I am and must be pushing 70, but the lassies still throw their knickers at him.<br /><br />Best wishes to you and all here.<br /><br />Jeff Woodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05472411139400674354noreply@blogger.com
