Alright! Is it true that the entire country of england is on the cast of the office? Does that mean I get a guest spot on an episode? I want to be the rad awesome american who just ROARS the fuck in on his fucking Harley!
no.... no office appearances i'm afraid, but we all want a virtual go on yer Harley... that's the deal... tek it or leave it...
we get the displeasure on having the American Office broadcast on a couple of our digital channels a guest spot would entice a greater degree of fear you actually might want to help us do some of the work :frown:
Well I think a splash of americanism will help your office. Like for example.. you usualy rely on dry humor and awkward moments to get a laugh. Well just one time take it up a notch, to the american level. Some uk office guy walks into a lunch room, ricky gervace is talking to some other brit, and as soon as the guy walks in ricky is caught at the end of an awkward sentance with "On my cock!" Awkward silences throughout the whole show.. and it's never explained. Also.. do you really still drink your beer warm? Cause I have some notes on that.
One brit ends a conversation with another Brit, with the words 'On my cock'. An American enters the room, and hears the remark ''HAHAH! YO BITCH IS SO FAT, WOTS UP WITH DAAT!!!???? YOU NEED A FORKLIFT TO GET HER UP ON DAT COCK!!!!!!"" Brit looks puzzled. ''Nooo, I put my cock in your beer. Didn't notice it was a little warm did you...?'' :biggrin:
Did you not see where I said "I have notes on that?" Did that not make me seem extra professionial? What gives?
Yea, what's the deal with that? Warm beer is disgusting. Would you like to share notes Sam? Here's what I have so far; -Put beer in a fridge I know it's not much, maybe together we can come up with something.

We don't drink warm beer. I've lived in this country all my life and have never once heard of that, I think someone somewhere is telling you guys porky's.
He was quite good. Though he generalized the Welsh, like we all sound like those from the West, which we don't But he did do good impressions!
I figured as much. People who really enjoy their beer as much as the Brits would hardly drink it warm.
Really? The first thing I thought of was, "So that's what Imaginary sounds like? Cool." Yea, he was really good. I thought his own personal accent was the most acoustically appealing. The welsh one was probably second.
I hate the Scottish voice, you learn to when you live in a place where you hear them quite often. Scottish people are really loud. My accent is a Cardiff Dialect, it's half and half. Imagine the Welsh voice he suggested but a little more.. common, sort of like some of the English ones
More "proper" as he put it. "Good old fashioned english, english that people all over the world can understand." lol I like what he said about the Irish, "Some of them speak english, some of them speak Irish."
Not like the proper ones, the Cardiff accent is a rough one. I went to Canada at the beginning of this year and every Canadian I spoke to couldn't understand a word I said. And yes, that sums up the Irish pretty well. The drunk bastards
no, it makes you a Shameless UKian, providing you also fit one of those profiles stipulated by lunaverse earlier...
Where in Canada did you go? What did you think of the Canadian "accent"? Was it as bad as the American media portrays it to be? If you're in a major city, the accent isn't that bad. Just little nuances. If you go to the Ottawa valley though some of them talk with a noticeable "hick" accent. I used to have one. They pronounce the word out like "oowt". They also put a lot of emphasis on "aw" sounds in words. Like tomorrow, they say "tomawrro." Mid Canada has some odd accents.
I went skiing in Tremblant. So the people who were there we mostly from Montreal, the accent wasn't too bad- it was just a weird French amalgamation of French and English but in a ski lift I met a couple from Ottawa, and I hate to be rude, me and my brother thought they sounded rather funny. I know we sounded strange to them, it was a weird conversation, they had such high pitched and happy sounding voices which did include quite a lot of the oowt's and aw's. Very nice people, though.
