From my laptop 'flight' I zoomed over your neck of the woods, soared like an eagle, dropped like a stone ( IT ineptitude)
I did spot a drone heading you way, maybe it was locked onto a large white target?
Is it gone yet? When I heard it coming, I crawled underneath a car. I'm getting hungry and I really need to go to the bathroom!
Unfortunately I did not think to pull my pants up before dashing beneath the car and it is too cramped under here to do so now. Until now, I had no idea of how hot the exhaust pipe would be. How am I going to explain these burn marks to my Wife? Oh, and you really don't want to know where the leaking engine oil has dripped.
Do you think that is OK to make a run for the house?
We're Americans. If you people talk funny, that's your problem.
I would say that very, very few Americans could correctly identify any of the regional accents other than maybe the one from Liverpool. The only reason that Liverpool is the exception is that some of us remember the Beatles. Many of us can recognize Scottish and Irish accents, but that is pretty much it.
Some of us can hear the differences but cannot associate it with any region. Part of the reason is that much of what we hear is what an English friend explained was the "BBC announcer" accent. In addition, even when we notice that someone has a different accent, the person speaking seldom finishes with something like: "and I am from Birmingham."
Now if you would convince your countrymen and women to always wear signs that indicate their place of origin, we might be able to do a little bit better.
