I took offense to Alan's comments, when there was no malice intended, and I went into one of my attack modes. My online persona really scares me sometimes.<BR/><BR/>I did apologise to him (and I meant it sincerely) and he accepted it.mothpetehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13794245127293355300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5139173408957779354.post-47638951462669689872007-03-16T07:21:00.000+10:002007-03-16T07:21:00.000+10:00Geez, touchy touchy.

It's not *my* fault your life is a wasted lie and that you need to lash out to feel better.<BR/><BR/>...<BR/><BR/><BR/>All I was saying was that I was wondering aloud whether this intrinsic funniness that a British accent imparts to American ears when narrating things like this video translates the same way to an Australian.<BR/>A simple "Actually, yes it does" would suffice. <BR/>And I know the accent is different between Britain and Australia. And I know Britain has dozens of distinct accents, way more diverse than America. <BR/>I can't believe I'm even typing this. I'm done.<BR/><BR/>It was still funny.Rhologyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14245825667079220242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5139173408957779354.post-48068200893239678762007-03-15T08:01:00.000+10:002007-03-15T08:01:00.000+10:00"But I kind of doubt that same nuance comes across..."But I kind of doubt that same nuance comes across to an Australian." <BR/><BR/>Of course it does. Perhaps you don't see a difference in the accents between Australia and Britain. We surely do. Believe me. More arrogance and ignorance from you. <BR/><BR/>We often think British humour goes way above the heads of Americans.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5139173408957779354.post-88656295723659649432007-03-15T06:20:00.000+10:002007-03-15T06:20:00.000+10:00You're wrong - I DID laugh!

And for some reason the narrator's thick snobby British accent "Yo my bad" adds to the humor.<BR/>At least for an American - for some reason English accents lend an air of elevated culture and education to dang near anything one might say, to American ears. But I kind of doubt that same nuance comes across to an Australian.<BR/>But yeah, quite funny.Rhologyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14245825667079220242noreply@blogger.com
