Accents!

I think it depends on how strong the accent is some Irish accents are harder to understand than others, I like Terry Wogan's accent for example (although no one has probably heard of him outside of the UK and Ireland).

of course ... I was just saying in general it is harder to understand ... perhaps because the vowels are pronounced so differently ... I dunno

i am ok with Irish accents
but when they use it on Discovery
or some other scifi/fantasy channel
that freaks me out !
television(and/or) radio should
aways be spoken in plain English (i mean without accents)
it is a mass media for crying out loud

So people who cannot get rid of their accents shouldn't become a host of a television show?
Fuck that.

Smoke a fag in England is much different than smoke a fag in the USA.
Someone from england ask me if I had any fags at a gathering that was predomintly gay. I told her that there were plenty in the next room :thumbup:
--- Quote from: Aloone_Jonez ---One thing that (I've recently found out) some people in the US are totally unaware of UK slang. Some words have a totally differant meaning - often it's quite funny. :D
Here in the UK:
Fags are cigarettes.
If you're pissed you're drunk.
If someone takes the piss they're mocking you.
I can't think of anything else at the moment can you?

Except anyone calling a cigarrate a fag warrants a punch in the face from me.
