Me? I actually am from Manchester!

Funny I can’t hear your accent when you type.

 

[Wing Woo Gar]

I'm not bothered. As far as I'm concerned, Americans have improved on the design of the pizza (and will insist on this point) and have expanded the language. Anybody who can invent bourbon, country music and beef jerky can't be all bad.

Except the country music,I’m with you.

‘Friends’

Ugh! You dropped 2 levels of esteem for that.

 

[Monkey Turned Wolf]

That’s not quite right (having lived in Yorkshire…or rather Yok-shuh for a long time). Tattoo would be Tattoooo, Karate would be Karatee (with short a sounds). Rather than saying “In the bath” they’d say, “Int’ bath’.

Ta-oo is known as a ‘glottal stop’ and beloved of Londoners

I heard a Yok-shun farmer, who’d brought his border collie into the vets speaking to the receptionist who asked what he was in for. He replied, in a very staccato fashion, “Wull , ‘e’s booked int’ fut deh” meaning ‘He’s booked in for the day’.

Well, this guy is born/raised yorkshire and that's how he pronounces it. Can't say anything on if that's normal or not, just how he does kt.

Well I grew up in New England near Boston and I should talk like this, but I don't

Sounds very normal to me…slightly New Yorky…

Not even close actually.... and i have known folks with stronger boston accents than his.... it gets stronger on the Northshore......also there are multiple accents in New York, especially in NYC and they can siound very different.

Actually Ross days ‘Karah-tay’ in the ‘Unagi’ episode…

It’s very understandable to my ears. Some of those slurry southern accents are unintelligible to me.

If I were to go on Mastermind my specialist subjects would be:

1) Friends
2) The Detectorists
3) Technical aspects of the Apollo Moon landings

Speaking of famous guys who I have trained with. I trained with a guy called Troy Dunn. Who is possibly the cowboyiest cowboy to ever cowboy.

And yeah. He was hard as nails.

See.

Simon gets it.

The character and David Schimmer are just brilliant. But what about Niles Crane?

And your third topic is so very niche and interesting!!! Was it just a topic that fascinated you?

The Apollo moon landing were humanity’s greatest endeavour and the astronaut unbelievably brave. The technological things accomplished to get there were simply genius.The Apollo Guidance Computer, the pressure suit, a rock engine that you could throttle (in the lander) Just incredible. Did you know the Saturn V weight as much as a navy destroyer? After 30 seconds of flight it reached the speed of sound! 90 seconds after that, it was doing nine times the speed of sound! Each of the five F1, first stage engines burned 3 tons of fuel per second…more than Charles Lindbergh used on his entire flight across the Atlantic. All the engine’s turbo pumps shifted 15 tons of kerosine per second to produce 7.6 million pounds of thrust. Which man wouldn’t find that interesting? I have learned to my cost, that women find this stuff deathly boring, so don’t use these data on romantic dates.
