Radek Zelenka/David Nykl Appreciation, Thunk, Translation Thread

[gateship777]

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).

as person who lived in wales during uni id say ianto accent is typical. i have heard much stronger. but i know what mean about its clearer to understand than the london accent...

have to ask did you mean tennant's london accent? or his companions from london like martha and rose? cause tennant is not a londoner

I know that Tennant is Scottish, but he doesn't speak with an (for me audible) scottish accent when he is The Doctor, except in "Tooth and Claw".

thats ok just had to ask. yeah hes kind of created a medium beween the two so sometime hard to understand.

Cool! Thanks!

[SoulReaver]

Who, that's a good sign that you like Radek!

nooo !

Spoiler:

but Mr Photoshop likes him a lot

Spoiler:

the resemblance is uncanny don't you think ?

Huhh, what? Why?

because I was talking about you, not about Zelenka !

I mean - seriously - why d'you always bring him into this ? why not just stay on topic ?

Did the pic remind you that you needed to shave for the day!

nonsense, why would facial hair on Zee make me think that ?

Spoiler:

rats don't need to shave

Yeah, why?

I dunno...what were we talking about again ?

Ahhhh, yeah. Cause the truth is that I am right!

the wonders of auto-suggestion...

Never!

yeees...you are faltering, Rose ! your determination is beginning to wane !

*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!

yeah I know, you meant his "fishing rod"
no wait...that's McKay...never mind..

Huh? Surrender what?

just plain surrender. concede that Zee is a lab rat !

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.

Lucius doesn't stand a chance! (thank god)

really ?? iirc Liz deemed Lucius rather irresistible

Ummm, this thread is about Radek, not me!

Bask in your moment of fame

LOL. That's about as close to fame on the internet as I want to get!

Welsh is like any other accent, there are some lovely soft sounding ones and some really harsh ones

I was only in Wales for a weekend, other than one day for a class. When you are not use to the accents, it's tough no matter how soft or harsh! People there though were some of the friendliest people I have ever met.

Ack!!!! Must save Radek from page 2...

Thanks SlytherianGal. It's nice seeing Radek on page 1 alot more!

Waves Hi to HyperCaz. Long time no see, err, I mean read!
Yep, I have the autobook on my list of things to get!

[DragonLadyK]

Hummmm, what is this facination that you have for Lucius??????

Like calls to like.

But Radek is a lab rat. Remember, the fur-and-tails lab rats in "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy"? They ruled the world -- humans were merely an unwitting experiment to discover the Question to the Ultimate Answer if Life, the Universe, and Everything.

Sneaky? The unsuspected power behind the people who look like they're running things? Sounds like Radek to me. ~.^

Oh, and SoulReaver: the signature quote of "French Kiss" is "All men are *******s."

doesn't mean you answer the call

Oh, and SoulReaver: the signature quote of "French Kiss" is "All men are *******s."

thx
sounds like a comedy - now I'm really gonna have to check it out -_-

[Rosehawk]

nooo !

Yessssssssssss!!!

Spoiler:

but Mr Photoshop likes him a lot

Spoiler:

the resemblance is uncanny don't you think ?

I am going to ignore this!

because I was talking about you, not about Zelenka !

I mean - seriously - why d'you always bring him into this ? why not just stay on topic ?

Ummmm, probably because Zelenka is what is on topic! Read the name of the thread!

nonsense, why would facial hair on Zee make me think that ?

Spoiler:

rats don't need to shave

Wanna bet???

Spoiler:

I dunno...what were we talking about again ?

Oh, I don't know, probably something along the lines that Zelenka is just plain cool!

yeees...you are faltering, Rose ! your determination is beginning to wane !

Never, never. I will never lose my determination to *thunk* Zelenka!
BTW, who's Rose?????

yeah I know, you meant his "fishing rod"
no wait...that's McKay...never mind..

No, I meant his

you know, he holds it in his hand, ready to explode and .....oh, just forget it.

just plain surrender. concede that Zee is a lab rat !

And why would I tell a lie like that????

really ?? iirc Liz deemed Lucius rather irresistible

So did Radek but then again, Lucius wasn't true love!

[Rosehawk]

Like calls to like.

But Radek is a lab rat.

ugggggghhhhh, not you too!

Remember, the fur-and-tails lab rats in "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy"? They ruled the world -- humans were merely an unwitting experiment to discover the Question to the Ultimate Answer if Life, the Universe, and Everything.

ohhhhh, sounds like I need to check this one out.

Sneaky? The unsuspected power behind the people who look like they're running things? Sounds like Radek to me. ~.^

I don't know if it is sneaky. He just knows a good thing when he sees it! Let Radek rule Atlantis! Oops, too much attention, huh!

[SoulReaver]

Never, never. I will never be cured of my determination to *thunk* Zelenka!

suit yourself, but what's this got to do with him being a lab rat or not ?

I am going to ignore this!

truth hurts doesn't it ?

ugggggghhhhh, not you too!

truth hurts doesn't it ?

Ummmm, probably because Zelenka is what is on topic! Read the name of the thread!

damn you're right ! hadn't noticed

Wanna bet???

Spoiler:

ok this fellow needs no shaver, just a pair of tweezers

BTW, who's Rose?????

I apologize for this tone of familiarity, Ms Hawk. it won't happen again

[Rosehawk]

suit yourself, but what's this got to do with him being a lab rat or not ?

Nothing, cause Radek is not a lab rat, he's just plain adorable!

truth hurts doesn't it ?

Whose truth? Mine?! Heck no!

damn you're right ! hadn't noticed

Do you need to borrow Radek's glasses??

I apologize for this tone of familiarity, Ms Hawk. it won't happen again

LOL. Sure it won't!
