Smaug Posted November 19, 2004 Share Posted November 19, 2004 Maybe we should have que cards...like: YES. NO. MAYBE. BUY ME A DRINK. I WANT A DRINK. GIVE ME SOME FOOD. SHUT UP. GO WAY.

Prometheus Posted November 19, 2004 Share Posted November 19, 2004 Im good with accents having moved all over the place so I can act as traslator if needed. Am from Yorkshire live down south but had a Scottish boyfriend for 3 years, who when drunk became incomprehensible so I had to learn quick 'cos you Scotts like a wee drinky. So I offer my services when required...lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zimbing Posted November 19, 2004 Share Posted November 19, 2004 (edited) Your services may be required. I may not drink but when I get tired (or "distracted" by guests at cons) I can go rather Dr Beckett-ish. If we get completely bambozzled I'll just put on my american accent or my "One must eat cucumber sandwiches with ones pinkie in the air" accent (had a mate going to Cambridge university, the rest of us were helpfully trying to adjust her to the accent ) Edited November 19, 2004 by Zimbing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stanmarsh Posted November 19, 2004 Share Posted November 19, 2004 I've lived all around the UK with some very bad accents near me. I was born in Scotland, lived near Birmingham and now live in Bristol. It's Ok though, because I don't really sound like any of them now! Although I do sometimes pronounce my R's like a farmer. I can try to interpret, but I don't know how well I will cope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prometheus Posted November 19, 2004 Share Posted November 19, 2004 I have no accent either, well kinda my own little accent unlike anybody else's. Altho I get told I sound like Im from New Zealand (i dont think so tho), not sure if thats good or bad. Any hoo heres to the United Colours of SM SGC Was wondering if any one will be traveling up from this area (im in Stevenage) cos was thinking about drivin to this little shindig but didnt want to do it on my own, also tryin to get a ruff idea how long it'll take!

Smaug Posted November 19, 2004 Share Posted November 19, 2004 Where is Stevenage? In relation to the rest of the world that is? Ah well I'm sure through various pokes and hand signals we'll work out something!! Group of people divided by a common language! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prometheus Posted November 19, 2004 Share Posted November 19, 2004 Stevenage is in Hertfordshire the nearest big town to it, you might know is Luton (its about 8 miles away)which is jct 10 M1. Hope that helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/color] Yeah they have it as standard and all trains have plugs. I was sat on a crappy silver link at Euston and my computer picked it up from the Virgin train next to me. Yeah I was with Ren and Co.... wearing t-shirts I designed. Oh if you were with him then I guess I might have met you!! No we didn't do the Stevenage Case study.... I think... Nope we didn't even do citys. We did the physical side of Geography. If we did Human it was about northern cities. *nods* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zimbing Posted November 20, 2004 Share Posted November 20, 2004 That ain't fair, I didn't have any Broadband on my Virgin Train down and back from Manchester Yeah I was just watching Atlantis but still! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smaug Posted November 20, 2004 Share Posted November 20, 2004 It's only the really new Virgin trains that have the broadband. Likewise its only a minority of the GNER ones. Any way before I can watch anything I have to make sure there's a plug socket! Watching stuff kills my computer's battery! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
