*grins at Bagpuss*
Well you were the one who told me the reason! Well a reason anyway

As if we're actually allowed to visit farms over here... I probably shouldn't tell them that I lent my trainers to a sheep yesterday, then?

I expect they'll have more relevant info later on; the current bit is probably up just for the holidays. The nuclear reactor was a surprise to me as well: They actually show off about having one, a distinct contrast to what they'd do if it were over here.

I was glad to see the cheaper rates, too. I might get in contact sometime, at the moment I'm more worried about getting a summer job here.

Oops, missed you there, Tink. Was that when I said I hoped all the Canadian women would throw themselves at my feet on hearing my accent? I never said that was a reason for going, merely a welcome bonus.

*waves to Tink who hopefully is now out of earshot of the following manly advice*

Not ALL Canadian women will.
The past twenty years, our over-exposure to American TV through 'cable' systems, has changed attitudes in young people about the perceieved value of mother country accents as marks of intelligence, refinement, culture, etc..
The quiet almost silent (coolness hiding ignorance) American film star style is now 'kewl'.
Some will still buy into intelligent chat I'm sure. But the secret is to speak slowly. Consciously, almost painfully slowly, like Sean Connery on sleeping pills.

Oh, I was expecting the Americans to "just love [my] accent." Still, any women throwing themselves at my feet would be a distinct improvement on the norm. I'm not sure what made you think I'd be going for intelligent chat, though; a Sean Connery impression might be my limit:

The namesh Baund, Jamesh Baund. Double-Oh sheaven, lishensh to khill.

00-oo-oo, I've gone all aquiver! Oh, shay it again Sham.

*laughs*
I thought you were going to use your foppish hair and Hugh Grant style charms?

Erm. How do I do a Hugh Grant impression?

Hello, I'm posh, me, from London and I drink tea. I was in that Four Weddings film; I was the one who didn't get married.

Aha! So you no longer dispute the hairstyle

Anyway shouldn't it be more of;
*adapts to role of Hugh Grant in 4 weddings when he's telling the Andi Mcdowell woman how he feels*
Erm...well...er...er..uhm..you see... what, what I'm trying to say is... uhm..well..what I, I mean.... the thing is... that ummm... I was...errr..in that I have been...umm..errr...well.. I I I come from...in that I've lived there...not umm...not not ummm not all my life but..errm...well what I'm getting at is that...errmm I'm a Londoner ... in the sense that..umm..well I lived in London...in umm ...England for a while and ummm... well I drink, errmm... tea...

You know he's not really like that though? He did an interview on Parkinson and he claims he's much more like his character in Bridget Jones...

Perhaps if Hugh Grant got his cut, but I've no intention of growing mine that long, so there.

Isn't he supposed to be a right git in Bridget Jones?
