Am I a POM?

[dawnrazor]

Paddys, Scots and Taffys cannot be "poms" - "poms" have "pommy accents" - not Scots, Irish or Welsh accents. I also do not include the Cornish as poms - because you can't fit a pommy accent into "ARRRrrrrrr!" (being of Cornish descent, I am also biased).

See my previous posting LOL

Sorry, dude. The old When In Rome, Do As The Romans Do thing comes into play - when you're here, you have the accent, we don't have accents until we go over there...

No you have AN accent

[Wolf]

No you have AN accent

No, we have at least 2 - you furriners just aren't capable of picking the difference. Them bloody Southlanders speak funny. When they venture up into civilisation, they have a Southland accent compared with our cultured tones.

Don't you mean "excent"? Hey and you know that's why you hate us, there's two types of people in this world, English and Foreign....

You forgot the Danes, but yep that's us, a cross breeding of the best fightingest tribes Europe ever produced. That's why the empire and that's why you lot!

Yep, often mused that being made up of conquerers and those who managed to survived conquest (and ruled by a monarchy based on the murdering of an incumbent monarch) explains a lot about the famed English expansionist ideal...

[dawnrazor]

you all sound like aussies to me, albeit with slightly less dubious heritages!

Anyway everyone knows that the Irish speak the best english in the world and where instumental in perserving it to this day, through the heroic efforts of the monk scholars in the middle ages. And all that without the mirest hint of an accent.

[TwoSeven]
