h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

dont worry... im sure there any wany welsh people who cant say them either

we english, have our own pronunciations.. we know what we mean, even if no one else does

Fortunately, I have no accent at all, and so everyone can understand me. Well, that's my story anyway.

i have what is commonly called a 'brummie' accent.
i was born just outside Birmingham in a place called West Bromwich and live in the north Birmingham area for 22 years.

i moved to Telford, which is about 35 miles west of Birmingham 26 years ago and i still have my brummie accent, though not as strong.

Telford is in another county(shropshire) and has an accent of its own..

From talking about accents with a number of folks, ... I understand there is very little variation in the southern regions. But once mid-country and northwards. Nearly each town can have a distinct flavour of it's own. I would find that quite enjoyable.

How-ever, from experience, I've learned that as little as 2 or 3 days in an area, and I adopt the local accent. We have quite a number of flavours from Irish, Scottish and English in the Atlantic provinces. And of course, French.

mornin nick

hopefully this should get through.

if not.....

It did, but I missed ya.

I'll call the slow-box address from work. Enjoy your day, good Lady.

i havent checked that address lately.

grumpy has been around... it doesnt half spoil your fun

Before I left home, I also left a note on the other addy. In case you went that way.

im checking anything pc based right now.

i will check the other after ive done a bit more to the painting.

how are you?

I'm doing okay, thank you. For me, it feels like a typical Monday, the first day back to work. But that will pass ...

but its times like this, that it throws the system out of the window and you never know what day it is

Oh yeah, having had a 4-day week-end, the whole body gets confused ...

Well, not all parts, just the cognitive bits ...

we have that pleasure next week.
its Whit Week here and that means a week off for the lucky ones and day off for the not so lucky.

grumpy has a day off from his main job and a week off from his school runs.

which affects my online time

Well.

How rude of the authorities to create holidays, ... just to inconvenience you! Here they seem to do it just so I'll have that much more work at home.

i know...

the things we have to put up with... its just not on...

And thus we have hootoo, The Land of Unbound Silliness !!! And certain threads, that lighten the load.

are you trying to say im silly?????

If the comic glasses-nose-and-mustache fits.

Nawww, good Lady, there's always something amusing to be found around these threads. The reason I pop in every day or so, ... a bit of pick-me-up.

yes. you can usually find some comment to chuckle at

but not right now... ive only just woken up and the body isnt really working properly yet.
im not a morning person

Awww, , I'm sorry to hear things are a bit slow to engage. I've been a 5 a.m. waker for decades and often have more of my days' tasks met before the world awakes.

Perhaps a few will get the fluids coursing again?
