I lived all over growing. From the Kentucky, to Missouri, up to Michigan and down through Illinois and Indiana. Then I took a few dives into Texas and Oklahoma, and spent some time in Colorado and San Diego.

My poor tongue doesn't know how to consistently form any words. I have a midwest/southern/northern/where the hell are you from accent

a film called 'Withnail and I'?
i either read about it from ollie's book or in an article in the dudespaper.
i can't recall but got the strong impression it was SUPER awesome for TBL lovers and Dudeists.

Unfortunately Hannah "Withnail & I" is actually a bit of a cult film so I'm not surprised you couldn't get a personal angle on it. Most of it is British digs at the upper classes (as were), and the acting "profession", mixed with some very heavy substance abuse.

I actually mentioned it because of a suggestion of film based drinking games (there is one based on "Withnail & I").

I worked with someone once who had such an upperclass accent that i couldn't understand some of the things he said to me, and my Dad was Air Force (RAF) so I was brought up with received pronunciation.

been watching misfits lately. great show. but the "chav" girl's accent is extraordinary! i love it! the weirdest mangling of english i've ever heard. the black running star character even says so in the first episode.

i'm really impressed by the variety of accents in england. they are a national treasure, are they not?

If you want to get driven crazy by an English accent try calling one of our call centers.They are all in Delhi.
Apparently, the staff are trained by watching episodes of Coronation Street.
The blond bird in CSI Miami does it for me.Her accent makes me go weak at the knees.
