What are you getting at, eh?
That's more of a guilty conversation thing. Not so much typing. I've never understood how people think we say 'aboot' instead of about, or 'ruff' instead of roof.
I've heard Canadians speak this way. I think it's a lot like the American accent. It changes depending upon region. Me I've got one of those "Half Southern, Half New Yorker" types of accent (funny because I'm born, raised, and always lived in Indiana).
This is true. There was a really interesting article I read about accents in Canada and the U.S. and how there is some similarity based on East/West location. There's a slight similarity to the accents from the prairie provinces in Canada and the "mid-west" accent in the U.S. There are places in Toronto where you'd swear the people talk like they're from the Bronx. But then the Maritimes have an accent that can sound either close to Irish or, more commonly, what some people think of as a "Canadian accent" (like saying aboot). I've even had friends tell me that some places on the West Coast have people that sound like they have a "Californian accent" i.e. slightly surfer-dude sounding!
Anyone remember the Looney Tunes episode from when they were a kid-- something about a over-the-top Scottish lighthouse keeper trying to get the cat to find the mouse? He said 'That lousy moose is loose in the hooos!!' :))
Wish I could find it on Youtube....
Or the Dexter's Laboratory episode with the bully who hates funny accents. "The rain in Spain stays mostly on the plain."
I find that if I watch Casino Royale with some one whos never seen bond or and has no desire to see it they are pleasantly suprised.
I agree, Canadians don't say "aboot". It's more like "aboat" ;)
Take off, eh :D
He has not taken her to see any subsequent Bond movies, although they do remain married.
I think have a few friends that are not interested but we enjoy other movies we both like, more scifi or superhero related and their non-interest in 007 is fine with me.
At the opposite, my cousin and my godfather like 007.
That's slightly worrying! :)
I'd just like confirm for any lawyers looking in on this that they're not really dead ;-)
I might classify as a lawyer, I think. Phew! Thought you were a serial killer there...!
But I wouldn't be a very good one if I'd just blown my cover on a fan forum!
:))
No, indeed not. You know where the bodies are buried, at least you have that.
I have selected memory so wouldn't be too sure on that :-)
Now that could be a problem, though it's usually in the garden. My criminology coming through, there!
Yeah, if in doubt, always check the patio! ;)
