Sshhhhhhhhhh If weight gain is a result of not smoking, I shall be straight down the nearest shop!

No, but when you've been 6 foot and 10 and a half stone for twenty years, an extra 2 stone is a lot of stress on an already weakend spine. It wouldn't bother me otherwise.

I can't remember putting on weight the last time I gave up.....unless you count the fact that I was preggers!!!!

Stay where you are! As they say, if you can stop smoking, you can certainly lose a bit of extra flab. Unfortunately, I can't manage either.

The very best of luck to you. Perhaps you should create a No Smoking thread. I'm sure you won't be on your own there. And the likes of me can pop in occasionally and get berated by your well earned, holier than though jibes.

righto......

I talk in broken english

Kind of deep voice. Speaks middlefast. Never speaks when I don't have anything important to say. My GF hates me for not talk rubbish all night long. She talks and I watch the telly

If you've heard Kathy Burke (one of my heroines!) then you've heard me.

That is, a North London accent (please never call me a cockernee), fairly deep and a bit tainted by fags. I quite like it as at least it's not east London/Essex. Which can be quite hard on the ear.

I like accents. My favourite is Geordie or other north east. I am also fond of the type of Yorkshire that pronounces Bradford as Bratford. For womb like calm then South Wales is the stuff- just cos of my mum & my lovely aunties and uncles. Nice childhood associations. Also Dutch but only if you are Dennis Bergkamp (goes off to dreamworld for a bit).

I am always a little bit suspicious of people when I can't tell where they're from. Just a chip on the shoulder thing I expect.

I have a Geordie friend who ought to come with subtitles. It's not particularly his accent, just that he talks so blimmin fast.

I adore the southern Irish accent. VERY sexy........

A little bit high, very rough at times, very soft and low. I mumble a lot, and my tongue tends to trip over itself all the time. Accent-wise I suppose it's "Oirish" as it should be, but I can't really say I've ever noticed. Plus I always pronounce coffee as "kaw-fee".

Depends. Get me pissed and I get more and more Wearside (not Geordie ... ever!) until I become totally incoherent.

But, after living in Sunderland, York, Glasgow, Tiverton, London and now Essex I've been forced to adopt an "all-purpose" day-to-day accent that can be understood by all. It's a bit bland.

Otherwise, probably higher pitched than would really suit my aspirations to be a rumbling love god (that's my excuse) and speak faster than is good for me. But it's better than the heathen barking that passes for communication in these parts.

Hmm. this is really helping, but... still I'm finding it tough to 'pin down' some of your voices.
Maybe it'd help if you also told me which celebrity you sound mnost like?

Well, Richey, I always thought you'd have a raspy but macho voice, kinda like Clint Eastwood's.
Snowey- I imagine your voice is like a sleazy Blackpool Bingo Caller's.
Sexy Goth - Lady Penelope
Black Planet - Penelope Cruz
Pikkrong - Arnold Achwarzenegger (sorry; I have no idea what the Estonian accent's like)
Quiff Boy - Rather posh, well spoken; like Stephen Fry.
Thrash Harry - Like Jarvis off 'Mary Whitehouse experience'.
Big Si - Rab C Nesbitt
SinSister - like a cowgirl
d00mw0lf - like Samantha Janus
Sorry, they're the only ones I can think of, off the top of me head.

*ahem*

that works for me

Not particularly Geordie,just a twang. "The Posh version" as it was once said to me. And pretty softly spoken too. And I get words mixed up when I'm really nervous

Don't worry love, I can't spell when I'm nervous (it's my excuse and I'm sticking to it)

I will have to get back to you on this one - Mrs Goth is still "Considering"

Now I'm gonna have to dig around and find out what that means. Meanwhile, I'm just flattered to get a mention.

Now I am beyond confused.... I posted to this post yesterday. And got an email that some one had answered. I followed the link in my mail to a completely different thred. It was the "Dear God" thread And my post is not here anymore.............

Well, I try again. I was bored yesterday and thought I would make it easier on you poeple by letting you hear my voice in person. Silly, but what the hey...

It might take some time, but it will load.

Very interesting... I'm convinced I submitted two posts circa 4 am Saturday morning which weren't there when I finally emerged with the lunchtime letters. I put it down to drunken confusion. Now I'm wondering if there isn't a higher explanation...

ive noticed theres been a lot of that today. harry, you originally posted that pink floyd stuff in which i replyed to both and lynch, i replyed to your comment about the voice thing...im starting to think that somebody dont like me
