UK, Ireland / "Strange " English language.. [264]

How strong is this accent?

Quite strong. Very villagey from East Anglia.

It sounds very odd like I never know what vowel is going to actually appear in a word

I found the same.

she's very easy for me to understand

Some would say it's a very pure form of English there. Odd to me though; she sounds almost Aussie sometimes. Worth mentyioning that her region is where a lot of the early settlers to New England came from and the East Anglia accent has had some influence on modern AmEng.

What do you think about these two. The first is from my home town, from the 'urban' part. He's actually a teacher from a cultured family who's hamming the accent up:

And she's from down the road, from a mining community where the accent is strong, a bit like mine once was. I never thought I'd like a 'punk poet' until I heard her stuff:

BTW, my own accent is somewhere between the two, or was until I went away to a 'posh' university and it softened a bit.

should leave the competition

That won't happen. You can't urn the clock back. You're just sore because your primitive idols, r*SSia and Belarus, are excluded

Hungarians

Would probably be excluded too.

I love to watch

Which is why you're permanently disappointed.

t the people in the Gaza Strip.

Yes, Egyptians.

Anyway, as you know, this is a thread about a song contest in Europe.

Legal =/= moral

So what?

Is your daughter's job in the sex club "moral"? No, of course not, however it's just about legal.

And Poland can decide for itself what its age of consent should be.

Don't watch it, don't comment, don't even notice

Yet so many do.

And the viewing figures are massive.

I didn't watch it

So there you go. I'm sure the organisers are weeping tears of pıss.
