...and I love the Bristol accent, god that really gets me going, you know...
Right! That's it! I'm gonna adopt an accent.
Accents you hate! (or like..) Page 5

But I thought you had one? That was the joke.
Quote: Eat_My_Shirts @ September 20 2008, 1:35 AM BSTI went to Montreal a couple of months ago, and obviously I knew that the people there speak French. But WOW I didn't think it was to the extent where it's the first language and you get dirty looks for speaking English. It was like being in France again, which is not somewhere I wanted to be again.
Really?! I'm surprised. It's a very english city for one that resides in Quebec. I'd go as far as saying it's more English than Ottawa is.

Well, they'd make me laugh at least....?
I think I've heard that stand up before.
Welsh and Indian are weirdly similar too.
It is pretty funny some times. I love it when they can't say the letter 'H' properly. They say "Hey'ch". I'm glad I rid myself of that habit when I was a child.

As the great Guv'nor once said: "...And they actually think they're FRENCH! Although, I suppose it's an instinctive reaction when you live somewhere shit."
(I paraphrase. Slightly.)

Quebec is a beautiful province, definitely does not look like shit.
Quebecers on the other hand are fine...as long as they aren't the separatist Quebecers those guys are...aggravating.
Montreal, just like most parts of France; an absolutely beautiful place. It's the inhabitants that ruin it for me.
I guess I just wasn't prepared for Montreal to be oozing that much Frenchness. Had I known, I would've prepared better. Still a very nice place though. Visually, like a clean, tidier, better kept version of New York.

Said nothing about appearance!

Blimey, was that an hour ago?
I don't know. I've no idea what I sound like. PM me your phone number and I'll read you some Thomas the Tank Engine, FFS.
Also, I can't stand the accent that Lilly Allen, Katie Nash, Mike Skinner, Adele and all these other stupid young hoodlums adopt whilst singing their dumb songs.

I would, but I don't think you'd approve of what I'd be doing at the other end of the phone.
