geordies, cockneys, scouse, farmer (devon/cornwall), welsh, some scottish dialects are impossible etc etc. Just so much for it to try and get. |

Glaswegian is just a drunken idiots version of Cockney really. |

Isn't Geordie a different language altogether? :p
And Welsh... well, Cardiff English isn't really strikingly different from what we're used to... |

Well, its a bastardisation of English for starters, you just add Jock accent for extra ambiguity and a whole lot of obscure rhyming slang. Then to top it all off, fill the average speaker with fortified wine and a bit of foetal alcohol syndrome from their 14yr old mother and that sort of explains itself. |

Yeah :(
There's this thing though....
I have a total... fetish (??) for a Scottish accent. Not Galswegian, NO.
A nice, soft Edinburgh accent.
I have, on many occasions, gone out of my way, just to speak to Scottish folks.
Yeah, I'm weird :p |

We've talked about this before, lets just refer to it as your "McProblem" and leave it at that... |

Not that sales cant leave you exausted at the end of the day. Meeting clients in person is one thing, called calling a bunch of names on a list...that can make you go crazy at the end of the day. |

Definite issues once Mrs Punk finds out...
And mines about to come home with parents in tow so I'm going to go hide in the spa bath for a bit.
It was a good week really, I do enjoy teaching people even if it means being up until 11-12 every night sorting out my notes and speaking for 7 hours straight for 5 days in a row with the human equivalent of barely trained puppies as an audience. If nothing else a couple of them now have a bit of direction and ambition about their work so its nice to hopefully better someone's life. |
