Two great things this evening. Took a follow-up COVID test, and it was NEGATIVE! Wooo Hooo!

Interesting accent choice you, dear Nicholas, have chosen. 🤔

How would @FrankCannon @BillyBones @stueytheround describe it? Wish I could remember who else, here on CoSo, is over in or from the UK.

@stueytheround

Now see, I wondered if this wasn't supposed to be some weird posh attempt but seemed way too high and snivvly to me. (why yes, I just came up with that word). 😆

@FrankCannon @BillyBones

@see_the_sus Another way I generally describe those accents is "Made for American TV". Yes, they exist, but most of us don't come into contact with people who actually talk like that. Unless you're a sex worker and Hugh Grant's in town 👍

Thank you, my name's Ben Elton. Goodnight!

@stueytheround @FrankCannon

@BillyBones 😂 😂 Or if you serve with the Lifeguards or Blues and Royals.
@see_the_sus @stueytheround

@FrankCannon My late cousin was in the Lifeguards and said exactly that! Scouser through and through (an ex-boxer, his Dad was a champion boxer from the Dock Road). He made some great friends but always said "Every one of them's got a plum in their gob and two up their arse" 🤣 @see_the_sus @stueytheround

@BillyBones We had one with an accent like that and oddly enough he was from NI(pretty much all our officers were back in the day)and the son of a very famous Irish Brigadier.Public school education and all that though. @see_the_sus @stueytheround

@FrankCannon I still remember my first day at Blue Coat. One lad walked in at the same time as me asking "Excuse me. Could you direct me to Room 4 please?"

Turned out he was from Anny Road. He never spoke like that again 😂

@see_the_sus @stueytheround

@BillyBones 😂 And he talked like that? Must've been a tourist.🤣🤣🤣 @see_the_sus @stueytheround

@FrankCannon 😁 Nah, he thought that was how everyone was going to speak in our school 😂

@see_the_sus @stueytheround

@see_the_sus We British blokes can talk the hind legs off a donkey *and* persuade it to walk home.

@BillyBones @FrankCannon

@stueytheround

I’d been wondering when you were going to return to convo! 😆

@BillyBones @FrankCannon

@see_the_sus When a pair of scousers get going, it's often more fun to sit back and watch. @BillyBones @FrankCannon

@stueytheround

Oh I just said I wanted to be invited along, not actually attempt to converse. Granted, being an Aries it’s damn hard for me to sit back and watch. How about if I just make faces and crude finger motions?

@BillyBones @FrankCannon

@see_the_sus Good luck understanding what's being said then.🤷‍♂️ 😂
@stueytheround @BillyBones

@FrankCannon

Oh the facial expressions and hand gestures will be adequate. Plus, copious amounts of cider.

@stueytheround @BillyBones

@stueytheround It would be cool if you were a magician and could hold the glass sideways without any of the drink spilling.

@BillyBones

I was raised in the Army and can toss it back as good as it comes at me. 😎

@stueytheround @FrankCannon

@see_the_sus That's the point where one of us says "I've heard that rumour". Usually me 🤣
