A man of many talents. All is well chez moi, merci.

Yes, "Kendra" is showing signs of being an irritant.

I think that's worth a punt. She's not someone I think I would like in RL, but I think she's quite brave and going to get stuck in with trials etc

Skylark, I have no idea who the annoying female with the annoying US accent would have been. Sounds as if the accent suits the person.

 

Before I watched the Sky at Night I watched The Murdoch Mysteries on the Drama channel. I know it's been on satellite channels for a few years but on freeview, it's only near the beginning of the second series. Set in Canada in the 1890s and worth watching for anyone who likes a bit of excapist detective stories with a sense of humour and is pre-watershed. Not gruesome, generally just a single victim, and only an hour long including ads.

 

Yes El, watched a bit of that myself, havent watched before , cant recall any Corrie person in it, Velvet, but my brain bumbled just now  

Murdoch's boss is played by Thomas Craig who was Tommy Harris in Coronation Street so well done on spotting that.

 

Lovely name, maybe she will be told , Kendrayouareannoyinghen,Stanley Baxter lingo 

You are right, the actor who plays the boss used to be in Corrie and Soldier Soldier too (if I remember correctly)

 Velvet 

Brilliant.

Thank you Velvet for that very educational clip 

It's not a film I want to see but Ken Loach's film Sweet Sixteen was set in Greenock in Glasgow and the accents are such that the DVD had to be released with English subtitles so that the English could understand it.

 

 I know a few people with Greenock accents, so I'm not surprised.

Yes sometimes the Scots lingo is hard to understand , this coming from a Scot  
I havent been up north to see relatives for a while , but spend half the time, saying, what, pardon, then they say i am too posh , and a towny folk 

 Agreed

lol It was the same when I lived near Peterhead, I sometimes felt like a foreigner in my own land.

The BBC trailer with Benedict Cumberbatch:

In case you don't know, his monologue is the All the world's a stage (AKA the seven ages of man) monolgue from Shakespeare's As You Like It.

 

Indeed, i hope like me, you said yes and no when appropriate and didn't look glakit 

I think sometimes I might have said yes when I should have said no, and vice versa. lol

Lovely busy thread today I only just finished catching up on Jungle from last night.  The one that I find a little annoying is the girl from Towie - she's going to kill herself?  Melanie Sykes is such a sweetheart I can see her winning. I have never struggled to understand any Scots accents but there was a famous clip on years ago with a guy from - was it Aberdeen? - and he spoke so fast and it was difficult to make out a word

As Velvet said, people from Aberdeen and Peterhead often speak in what's known as "Buchan tongue" or "Buchan Doric" and it's really hard to understand, even for other native Scots. It's not only the strange words but the fast speech pattern.

Youngest son's OH is originally from Aberdeen but, luckily, she speaks in a lovely soft, polite accent.

That's sounds lovely.  The guy on the clip was upset about something so he was speaking at a rate of knots.

 I can imagine.

Off for tonight, may not be on tomorrow, going to visit a friend . 
Take care all 

Okay Skylark, goodnight and sweet dreams.

Evening Buddies
I trust your Monday has been a good one

Evening Moonie. My day has been fine, how was yours?

Hi Yogi
Most pleased to hear it
My day has been okay fankoo

That's good. What's on your telly tonight?

Well, currently an Australian soccer game I recorded
Are you watch IAC?

Watching soccer - shocking!

Yes, I'm watching the Z listers in the jungle. 

 Got a Brazilian game to watch later or tomorrow yet too

Oh Scotland v England tomorrow night. A "friendly" as if

lol There's no such thing as a 'friendly' when it comes to Scotland v England in football.

Yeah, there will be body parts all over the pitch, methinks

 More than likely.

*night owls*

Dont throw the furniture at me, but I love kendra when I first saw her on TV I couldn't stand her, but then she grew on me and now I think she's a real sweetheart. I didn't know she had gone into the jungle, I've just tuned in.
That Gemma from towie is vile!

Skylark I'm glad you enjoyed the movie, sneaking your own sweets in is the thing to do these days the cinemas should lower their prices.

Squiggle, how interesting that your leaves are down, ours are really half & half.
I still like to kick the leaves with my wellies on

Hi Summer, have you had a good day?

Hi Sweet
