[Elfëa]

*likes TO UseBaD NEstpeak ToDay!*

[StarGazr]

Waaaaaaaaa ROTFLMAO... that is HILARIOUS!!! Where on earth did you find that?! It's funny, but a co-worker of mine and myself actually had a short conversation once that pertained to the likeness of the SS movie and Star Wars... it's mind-boggling... lol, that is really funny

[Xazinon]

Hehehehe, very good! :D

What does that make Yoda? Madame Trelawney? ;)

[glaelia]

heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! love it!


he's a bit short for ol' sybil isn't he??? however, i don't suppose you know that in the recent starwars films where yoda was walking about, that part was played by WArwick Davis... who happens to play professor flitwick and the goblin bank teller with the lamp in HP ;) .... my sisters worked with warwick on a number of occasions, hence my odd bits of knowledge.... warwick also played an ewok in the earlier star wars films (the main ewok, but can't remember its name...) and was of course Willow in the film, Willow... ;)


any other actors been in both films you think??? see, if they get ewan to play remus we'll have that comparison to make... :p


;)

[ChianaWeasley]

;)

[Colli]

[Voldemort'sWand]

No, I can't say that I did know that, glaelia! Very informative! However, I know the name of the main Ewok in Star Wars was Wicket if that's any help to you! ;)

I doubt there is any more actors that have been in both films, but you never know: one of those stormtroopers could be an obscure extra in Diagon Alley or some such!
Being easily amused much like Chiana claims she is, I would actually be interested in knowing if there was any more too, though I'm definitely too lazy to try and find out for myself. Ah, sweet laziness! :D

[Ravenclaw]

I think laziness is a sin/trait shared by all in this day an age...

*sigh*

lol.

Yes, Wicket. As in a cricket game...

Whoa, how do I know about cricket?

I'm scaring myself today. That was funny though. Deffinately gonna pass that around. LOL.

I know about Warwick Davis as well! My friend's a fan!

Um... hello.

[Xazinon]

Hello! :wave: :)

Umm, that post was a tad on the strange side, Ravenclaw: you feeling alright? :LOL:

Kudos on the cricket thing though! I'm most impressed! You might make it as an Aussie yet! ;)
That is, if you wanted to be one, of course... which you probably don't... but if you did, you'd have the cricket thing sorted at least... or you could be a Brit, but then you have to lose all the time... I think I just like writing dots today....
Whee! Look at all the dots!
.................................................. .................!

OK, I'm done. :D

[Ravenclaw]

:wave:

Yes, I was in a strange mood that day, doing everything backwards...

My friend Claire tried to teach me how to talk Australian once... it didn't really work. lol.

Course, can't talk English either. I can try, but then all I sound like a stupid American... trying to... talk English...

Yes...

Well, see, at least I KNOW I have a bad English accent... and a bad Irish accent... and Scottish for that matter. I mean, I know kids who are like "Hey, listen to me talk British! 'Wooood you luike a spott of teeeeeaa??"

It's actually very pathetic. So now when someone says to me "I can speak with an English accent!" I'm like "What kind?" and they look at me and say "The English kind..." And I say "You mean, like, a London accent or a Northern accent or perhaps you mean a common London accent, or perhpas Liverpudlian..."

They just stare at me blankly.

Australians are cooler anyway (eep, now I'm gonna get attacked by British tomatoes!)

Course, IMO, the Brits are cooler than the Americans (ack, American tomatoes)

And the Americans are cooler than... the Romans? (Please tell me there are no Romans here!)

Whoa, that was off topic. So, um, yes, Star Wars and Harry Potter... Very funny.

[Fleurdelacour]

lol Raven :D Yes, so many varieties of the Brit accent, and the best is the scottish... :swoon:

Aussies do rock though, lol I mean Baz Luhrman is an aussie! oh, and of course Nicole Kidman! Oh am I forgetting someone.... I'm sure there's another Aussie.....

[ChianaWeasley]

I really agree with you Raven, Brits are cooler then Americans. We have no accent, we're the blah blah dialect. I love the scottish, Irish, British accents. I try at them, and Im really not too bad compared to some people at school. I try to get my friend from Germany to speak in an english accent. He cant do it, and frankly i dont blame him for not trying.
This may be a dumb question, but if someone from the US were to move to Europe and live in say..Kent after a few years would you pick up the accent? I've always wondered that.

sighs
We americans really are boring.
Aussies have really interesting slang,
British folk just have wonderful accents in general,
Scottish folk just cant be imitated,
and the Irish accent, well it isn't the lucky charms blarg its made up to be.
English is just so bland!!

:wave: Ooh, OOH! Me! I rock! :D

Fair dinkum, you sheilas like Aussies huh? Strewth! ;) :)

We're #1! We're #1!

:D

[glaelia]

no no no welsh accents are the bestest... south wales accents.... :swoon: this of course has nothing whatsoever to do with me recently meeting a rather swoonable south wales guy who rides motorbikes, has beautiful eyes, and a great singing voice.... oh no, not at all!


*glae :swoon: s for her welsh adam ;)

[Elfëa]

You didn't tell me he had a BIKE! :swoon:

[glaelia]

and leathers......

[Elfëa]

You tease. :p (So, you got your Sirius then? ;))

[Colli]

You know, Chiana, you have every right to your opinion about the part of America you live in, but you calling America boring is like me saying "I don't like the English accent", as Ravenclaw just described above.

Myself and several other Americans here (not all of us, just a few I've talked to) are getting a LITTLE irked listening to you complain about our boring country.

Maybe your region is boring, yes, but I love my town, I love Ohio (most of the time), I love the U.S. Please just don't generalize and call us all boring, it kinda hurts. And it gives us a bad name.

:hug:

That is all.

[lithorose]

Colli-
It's a well established American pasttime to be bored with your hometown! :p

[glaelia]

apart from the fact that he's welsh... wears glasses... has bleached bits in his hair... and oh yes, is welsh... yeah ;)

[Colli]

:D Hometown, yes, lith. I thought I had duly noted that.

But to say that "We americans really are boring." That's misinformed, exaggerative (is that a word?) and, in my opinion, slightly offensive. Because Chiana's calling me and all my friends boring. And whether it was in jest or not, that's the first time she's implied such a thing, and in truth it's beginning to make me ill.

[lithorose]

Boredom is only in the eye of the beholder.;)

[Ravenclaw]

Here here! Like, I know friends in Kentucky who say "Yeah, lets go out cow tippin' to night!" And I sit there and look at them strangely...

Oh, I don't think America is boring at all! And to say the American accent (IMO) is bland is just like saying the British accent is bland. There may be Brits who think their particular accent is boring, just like Americans, but me, being a North Pacific gal, I love the Massachusettes accents! I think they sound fabulous! LOL! My friend's from Boston and she's rubbed off on me. I've started saying things like "owff" and "cwoffee." And THEN there's that time I spent in CANADA and people STILL make fun of the way I say sorry!

So, to answer your question, Chianna, yes, if you do live in a place a while, you can pick up the accent. But it depends on what kind of person you are. Me, who has lived in several different places in my life, can pick up accents easily. My parents, on the other hand, don't. So every summer I go back to Seattle, talk to my cousins, and lose my other accents entirely.

The way I speak "American" is unique all together! Mixes of South Carolina, Massachusetts, and Washington State, not to mention Canada, and even a strange Dutch accent, mix together to make me sound very strange.

And Colli's right, it's also generalizing (though I don't find it offensive myself). The English accent is as diverse as the British. So when a Brit friend claims to be able to speak American, I ask her, what kind? And again, they say "The American kind..." lol. It's actually very interesting.

As well, small towns versus large cities within the same country also vary in daily life, routine, ideas of fun, and even friends. Small towns can be so tight nit that everyone knows everyone else and gossip spreads fast and some people are just dying to get out for a change of scenery. Large cities is full of hustle and bustle, busy life, traffic, coffee to go, and homeless people begging for a dime. There are some people who would like to emerse themselves in small town life, where you can always count on the help of someone and not feel so alone. And some types of life can also be different, and maybe a taste of each. If you live, for instance, on the outskirts of a big city, in a nice neighborhood where you know all your neighbors, and then go to work (or school) in the city each day, you could get the best of both worlds.

So, that said, who wants to join me in a cup of Starbucks and a Mariner's game tonight?

Hey, it's all in the culture! Fun (and boredom, as Lithe says) all depends on how you look at it and where your perspective is coming from.

[Fleurdelacour]

I don't think where I come from is boring at all, however, its expensive... :rolleyes:

But when Ewan Mcgregor talks (and sings!) his Scottish tones just melt you, dont they? Ooooh... melting.... Scottish men... Everywoman should be aloud access to a Scottish man! :swoon:

In London, there isnt like a uniform accent, different areas, like some parts of south london have a really dominant accent, a mixure of cockney, english and Jamaican, and Asian accents! Being in south london, I've got that sort of accent, but when I talk to strangers it goes all normal and english for some reason...

And in East London you get the cockneys lol, and dont ask me about anywhere else like, North or West London as I've got no idea!

No offence, but I don't find the geneal American accent sexy, (apart from the new york accent! ooh sex and the city's on tonight...!) but I do find it interesting! I mean, people from all over the world moved there and all their accents sort of seemed to merge together!

[Colli]

:D When I think "American accent"... I just imagine everyone else in the world, without an accent. ;)

I think southern accents are absolutely adorable, like in Sweet Home Alabama. And Tennessee.. aw, they talk so cute in Tennessee!

And then there's Ewan McGregor... :swoon:

[lithorose]

Ugh! Starbucks is everywhere here! Our malls even have more than one! And downtown there's two less than a block from each other! (oh, wait. Those may be Seattle's Best...) I swear Portland has more coffee places than anywhere. Except maybe Paris.

And what the heck, I'll cheer for the Mariners! They're the only major league baseball within like 800 miles!

I have no particular accent but my increasingly bad grammar picked up from small town life, and a bit of valley girl which I got from a friend and still haven't managed to shake:rolleyes: The Northwest in general speaks pretty plainly and straightforwardly. Like Canadians I suppose, since I can't hear any difference. Except we pronounce 'roof' properly!:p
Rav, do you say sOrry or Sawrry? They say it both ways here. I prefer Sawry.

I like the Australian accent.

[Ravenclaw]

Ack! Oops...

I meant, um, Romanians! Yeah, them folks.

(looks around nervously...)

OK then.

Lithe, Seattle's the same. Coffee on every corner, ack, it drives me insane sometimes... but I don't live there any more... I'm going back there this summer, though, yippee! Go West Coast!

I say Sooorry like them Canadians. Good news is I don't say oot and aboot.

And I agree, the Australian accent does rock...

Starbucks... They dont even sell doughnuts! :eek: I counted twelve on Oxford Street, and none of them sell doughnuts! :rolleyes: ;)

[Terry]

Thanks Colli. I'd like to think I have a sweet accent of some sort! I live in Tennessee. Not orginally, mind you. I'm from SW Ohio!


I think if you stay in a place long enough.......you talk like the local people or life becomes..... more complicated. With good reason. I'm the new arrival, after all. I have "acquired" an accent. Whether I meant to or not. And I kinda like it!

Heck, my uncle who moved down south has a stronger Southern accent than most other people I spoke to when spouse and I went down to visit... you'd never guess he was born and raised in Noo Yawk, to hear him now.

Those $#%@ Starbucks are everywhere these days, it seems... spouse agrees with my "Charbucks" assessment of their (over)roasting of coffee beans, but I'll probably be glad of the new branch in one of our area bookstores next month when I'll be able to eat and drink while waiting merrily in line for a certain book late at night :) (BTW, for those who noted my reference elsewhere to spouse's grandma not likely living to see the new book, she has since passed on - but it was as peaceful as can be expected, and she went surrounded by most of her family.)

[Terry]

I'm sorry for your loss, Moxie!

And you do pick up an accent where you live. It's almost inevitable.

Starbucks, Shmarmucks!! I only drink non-flavored coffee anyway, so I'm not missing "nuthin" by not having one around. :p

My "certain book" is arriving by UPS on the 21st.... or it better had!! Or Mr. UPS will get a very hard :trout: !

[Xazinon]

You don't have Starbucks, Terry? Well, I live in Australia, but they've got me worried! I used to think they were just an American thing, and the notion of one being everywhere amused me, but here in Melbourne I personally have now seen two! At first there was just one, but then a second turned up... the invasion has begun! We're doomed, I tell you! DOOMED! :eek: ;)

[Terry]

Well, I can find one within 40 miles.... I think I'm lucky on that note. (Not to find one closer!) E. Tennessee has it's own brand of commercialism. Apparently Starbucks isn't part of it. Yea!!!!

[lithorose]

You're lucky not to find one. They are on EVERY single last corner here. Probably three times as many of them as McDonald's.

Two in Melbourne? The infection has begun! RUN! Save yourself while you can!!!!

Welll, okay... if you say so lithorose! But won't you guys all miss me if I'm busy running? :)

[Terry]

Well, of COURSE we'll miss you Xaz. But why run? We can make you some excellent French pressed, Blue Mountain blend here! Who needs Smarhucks, er Starbucks?
