Hey Reefgirl, I am going to my first ever professional soccer match tonight and we are playing England!
*edit* Team was the Burlney FC (or something close) Guess it was a World Cup game! I forgot how heavy the English accent can be. Some fans flew in from England and asked for directions, wow, heavy heavy accent.
We lost 0 to 2. Wow, your team gets rather aggressive!

Oh, so now you are going to make me go through oodles of posts and threads just to find a promise you made.....well, it will have to wait until tomorrow. I have to get some sleep and get up in a few hours for work.

Burnley FC are from the North, we in the South have problems with understanding them so you're not alone. It was probably what the call a 'Pre season Friendly' a lot of British clubs do it, go on tour to another coutry and play against local teams, even the big clubs do it

Wow, thanks for the link. That was fun to read and see. You won't believe this but I think my daughter, her friend and I are in one of the pics. Not that you can see faces because we are so small in the pic but it is where we were standing and we were the only group of three helping out.
Up north, that explains the heavy heavy accent. I remember when I visited England and the closer we got to Wales the harder it was to understand the English 'cause of the accent. The guy was pretty nice about me saying what, I had to ask him about 4 times, but it was also very noisy with people walking around so I had a good excuse. They were looking for the Burnley FC fan section.
And speaking of accents....... *THUNK*
OMG [email protected] - that tag is just mean! Radek was under the influence of a drug.
Hummmm, what is this facination that you have for Lucius??????

Can you post a link to the picure, Welsh is difficult to understand
oh come on, last time you told me the tag was offtopic (since this is Zelenka thread) , so I added 'Radek' to make it on topic
yet despite my most earnest, heartfelt efforts I still endure your criticisms
gee, what more do you want ?
(women...never satisfied )

excuses excuses
Hummmm, what is this facination that you have for Lucius??????
is this some sort of not-so-subtle ploy to try & turn the tables in some attempt to dissuade me from talking about him ?
not gonna work lass
in fact you're right, in a manner of speaking - I do have a "fascination" for him, and it lies in your disgust towards him
see, ultimately it's about you Rose

Here's the link to the article. It's the picture with 'Robert Blake on the attack'.
The pic looks like it is from the 1st half of the game. There are three dark blue shirts that are way out of focus up on the stands. We were ushering (hey, it got us a free game! ) It may not be us, can't see section numbers but the pic is defintely close to where we were standing once the game started. The other ushers were in teams of two, one on each side of the door, though once the game started we were all watching!
there's another option - you can admit you were wrong
Never!
I said 'walking stick' not 'pimp cane'
*Growl* No one said anything about a pimp cane...
References were meant about the 'walking stick' that is attached to Radek's .......ah forget it, never mind!
indeed - you are beginning to see the light of reason ! surrender [yourself to me] !

Okay, I give you that one. At least you made the tag on topic. well, sort of, those of us regulars on this thread know that other than his fans, Zelenka is in love with Weir. http://forum.gateworld.net/showthrea...21409&page=151
Lucius doesn't stand a chance! (thank god)

Radek: I can't believe my thunkers abandoned me and sent me to page 2.
Me (SG): *pats Radek on the back* Don't you worry....we won't let it happened again. Why? Cuz we LOVE YOU!!

Just wanted to say how excited I am about the audiobook coming out in September. I would love listening to DN for 70 minutes lol... not that I'm a thunker or anything.
Welsh is like any other accent, there are some lovely soft sounding ones and some really harsh ones
Its interesting with the Welsh accent, because I watched Torchwood, and most of it without subtitels and I had no special problem to understand Ianto and Gwen. Now I don't know how strong their accent is, but I had more problems with the London accent of Owen and with Tennants Doctor Who.
Welsh can't be that bad or they were very nice to the international viewer *g*
(I wasn't alone in Tenerife but with a friend and she is from Bavaria. She tries to speak High German, but sometimes I have to ask what she means *g*, so much for accents - and even I speak with an accent though I never even learned "my" regional language).

Tell me about it. The Germans I translate for are from Bavaria too. Took me a month to get used to it
