that woman has the most irritating accent I have ever heard. People don't actually speak like that, I'm sure someone would give them a good slap if they did

It's the colloquialisms that get me, I'm from deepest darkest south west and we have a soft rolling accent. Mine is not too pronounced until the third pint of scrumpy and there are times when the only person who will be able to understand what I'm saying will be my wife.
ee was gown dun pub un oi asst im wurzit to = he was going down to the pub and I asked him where it was.
Note the adding of to at the end of the sentence. I really need to dig out the Jannerisms web site

Try this, you'll be laughing too hard to think about those dull kingdom melodies:
The blackbird song by the Wurzels
Where be that blackbird to
I know where e be
e be up yon Wurzel tree
an I be after e
now I sees e
an e sees I
bugger'd if I don't get im
with a gert big stick I'll knock im down
Blackbird I'll ave e
ow's thee father, alright?
all me life I man the farm
working fur me keep
tendin pigs an chickens
an they cows an sheep
but every where I'm workin
there's always one who always mocks me
e's hidin somewhere in the trees
Blackbird I'll ave e
Where be that blackbird to
I know where e be
e be up yon Wurzel tree
an I be after e
now I sees e
an e sees I
bugger'd if I don't get im
with a gert big stick I'll knock im down
Blackbird I'll ave e
ow's thee father, alright?
underneath the open sky
in spring we loves to dine
we likes to hear the flappin
of the misses washin line
we listens to a tuneful song
a blackbird or a tit
but on me vest and underpants
e scored a direct 'it
Where be that blackbird to
I know where e be
e be up yon Wurzel tree
an I be after e
now I sees e
an e sees I
bugger'd if I don't get im
with a gert big stick I'll knock im down
Blackbird I'll ave e
ow's thee father, alright?
if i goes out poachin
a creepin through the fields
with me old retriever
following at me heels
if I aim me shotgun at a pheasant in the ay
that bloody blackbird starts is row and frightens them away
Where be that blackbird to
I know where e be
e be up yon Wurzel tree
an I be after e
now I sees e
an e sees I
bugger'd if I don't get im

This has been a calmer thread than I thought it would be. Are we learning to state our disagreements in an agreeable manner? COOL!
Perhaps, but to be honest i just ignored the troll post from Amazing.
you can replace the word ABORTION up there with almost any word you want...and that sentence still works....
"Personally I would never murder, but my morals and opinions should not be forced on anyone else"
Personally I would never abuse my kids, but my morals and opinoins....
Personally I would never molest a kid.....
personally i would never give drugs to a child...
etc etc etc
I don't think so. Abortion IS a moralistic issue and as such is a matter of your personal beliefs, hence we are having this discussion. We wouldn't be having this discussion if someone suggested that child abuse were ok and normal.
You and others who are pro life and anti abortion are attempting to foist your moral judgement on everyone else. You are well within your rights to refuse to conduct or recieve abortions but you DO NOT have the right to inflict your moral standpoint on anyone else. Would you support the JW's inflicting their stand on blood on everyone? It equates to the same thing.
If we were talking about medically necessary abortions I don't think too many people would holler...but we're talking abortions for the sake of convenience...and that's just plain ugly in my opinion. We have made a step in the right direction with the banning of Partial Birth Abortions.
I agree, except we are not talking about abortions for convenience for the most part. Abortions are only carried out after a medical professional has interviewed the patient and assessed their reasons for wanting to terminate the pregnancy. It is rare that a person wants an abortion due to unthought out flippant reasons. -

You want to visit Bristol!
They put an "L" on the end of a word that ends in vowel. So Canada is Canadal, my daughter is Samanthal and her friend is Fional.
Oh yeah..and Bristol was originally called Bristowe.
Englishman
and here I was thinking I lived in Brizzle. I still cannot get used to them making every sentence sound like a question.
I found a really funny site about janners and their speech and mannerisms, i will see if I can find it again because I'm sure it would open the eyes of some of our Atlantic cousins.
Englishman, do you sound like a Wurzel?

I did it ! I told my JW mother that I am pagan !
by Sirona inyes, i did it.. after the thread in which i asked how i could possibly tell my jw mum that i'm pagan....i decided to take the bull by the horns and tell her.. her reaction made me wonder if she reads this board.. firstly, to "ease" her in, i mentioned that i'm doing a course in reiki.
reiki is a complimentary therapy - basically hands on healing.
well, she said she knew a little about reiki and thought it was a good idea.
