Crystal, I seem to recall you talking about cultural differences as well and how the English tend to be more about "keeping up appearances". Maybe you would get on better with a Scotsman?

But anyway, I noticed from your profile that you say that you are currently writing a novel but it's in Dutch. Are you finding that difficult, as far as expressing your ideas goes as well?


I was wondering the same Tawt...How does one write a book in a language they no longer command?what


Maybe too many Sheridans???? :tongue:

I used to think the irish accent, sounded the same as the scottish accent. I can tell the difference these days. Now that I'm older. lol.

I once dated a german guy, who had moved from Germany to England. He kept asking me if we could go on a date at some point. We tried it. I had a hard time understanding him in all conversation's. So I saw no point in continuing. How did he think he could turn me on, when I couldn't understand his broken english? Ugh.

You seem to have a fascination for England :)
You must've been tripping if you think that Scottish and Irish accents are the same? Now I know what the 'E' in EMO stands for?

Did you catch the words "used to" in that. Like when she was much younger she thought they sounded the same. She later said that now she can hear the difference.

I remember when I was a kid watching Monty Python and the holy grail. When it came to the one scene where the knight found himself in a castle with a bunch of women and he thinks he saw the grail on top of the castle. The leader says that Zoot put a beacon out that was grail shaped and then says that he must punish her and then he muct punish them all by spanking them. "And then after the spanking, the oral sex." When they said oral sex I had thought they said oriel six. I didn't know what that meant and I wouldn't have known what oral sex was at the time either. But I still laughed. It wasn't till years later when I saw the movie after getting it on DVD I found out they said oral sex. But that would also be because the sound was simply better on the DVD than it was on VHS.
