Are you from Cork by any chance? That's the best accent. I worked with a girl from there and it made every day a bit brighter. That's not in a mean way, just that it was wonderfully rolly.
I have a mash up of Edinburgh and Highlands (with a tinge of American thrown in from association with my husband) and I made people in New York confused. "Not Irish? Are you sure? But now I can't tell you what precise percentage Irish I am through my various grandparents!"
Hmm, comments have also been disabled, which probably saves our eyeballs from the hissing bile of anyone who supports his sentiment. So I'm only going to give partial credit for this one.
I'm Helen, and actually I am a bit ill right now. Rest assured, it just gave me more time to look up accidents on the internet (oh no secret identity given away)
How would you rate the books? Especially if you have not read them.
I would like a Steve Winwood opinion on the novel version, so we can just finally draw a line in the sand and stop tearing each other apart.

also, Ryan Gosling and Justin Timberlake, together, being snarkily amused at your antics! (I dunno, just wanted an excuse to share a gif from the mickey mouse club era)
Hmm, if I were in that audience, I definitely would be the outlier baahing the wrong note every time. Many embarassing instances of this from childhood music classes onwards. No rhythm sticks for you. Clap less loudly. How about you just hum? If there is such a thing as dyslexic for music and rhythm, I have it.
I suppose I am quite impressed that he manages to get the audience to retain the scale, but perhaps anyone in the whole world can manage that feat of memory. Except the sad rag-tag band of tune-illiterates.
I know, I have read it. And very much enjoyed it (though that chapter was a bit of a slog).
Just think the parallels are there, although AILD is comic genius at the end, I doubt TWD will turn out to be.
Hmm, isn't the plot of As I Lay Dying already being used in a certain Zombie slogfest we've all been wearying of lately? A meaningless procession through the backwoods hampered by the stubborn desire to never do the right thing, the minor interventions/comments of random characters who appear, say their piece and disappear again? The raw hot dogging?
Mitchell and Webb! Yes. I like it when they get all preachy about bad stuff. Like the Homeopathy Accident and Emergency room sketch. Cheese-petrol robot is the best though.

The limb is always a bendy one when one generalises... I'm in that age group, and I read one page (at 18 or so) and just thought, man, too bad I'm too old for this. Like I said, total snob. But I always wanted to read what adults did. Tried taking out Dracula from the library when I was 9, but the mean old librarian wouldn't let me.
Was also making a joke about your use of the word 'girls' to describe women. I'm sort of in a sour mood today. I made myself shortbread, so I am less crabby.
I recognise I'm in the minority with the disregarding of the Harry Potter books, so if you find them awesome, and find awesome ladies through them, don't let my bitterness at being on the periphery get to you.
Lilbobbytables are you one of those strange adults who likes to mostly read adult books? Instead of books for teenagers? I thought they had all died out long ago.
Also, Aunt Martha I am slightly worried by the reading of a children's book to attract 'girls'. Hoping you are like 14 or something.
PS. Yes, I am a total book snob, weary of seeing Hunger Games stuff on all the book tumblrs instead of complex, awesome, heart-rendering books with adult themes by contemporary writers. Get off my library!
If he does know what they mean, he certainly doesn't know how to pronounce them - 1.14 on the video "Admintion".
'Man on internet thinks he is a sheeple-defying super-villain, turns out to be smug loser.'
Dear Diary; Robert Smith stood me up again. That bastard keeps on breaking that black little heart of mine, and I keep on going back. Why? I am worth more than this. Yes. I. Am.
Found them another client:

He and I used to live on the same island. But he only lived outdoors, in a thong, and I was a little girl in a house. We didn't have many opportunities to hang out.
