Quote: Kevin Murphy @ January 5 2011, 1:52 PM GMTSurely if you live within reach of Radio Suffolk there are even easier ways of hearing a Suffolk accent, such as:
a) going outside
b) talking
You don't even have to go outside here. I posted it because there was a discussion about accents on here recently and non-suffolks might have been interested. You can listen to it on the internet outside Suffolk so not everyone can step outside and hear the genuine article.

Now that is a gneuinely interesting point.
I think talking is easier than listening. It's a more instinctive behaviour than listening, which is quite artificial and really only developed in the last 150 years or so with the invention of the gramophone

If you developed your listening skills more you'd do better with the opposite sex, Sooty. Ladies love a listener.

This is indubitably true. Rob H has lost count of the number of times that he has had lady success because he has a good 'listening face' which hides the fact he is thinking about them naked.
Fiend.

*switches on listening face. Mentally undresses Nat*
I wouldn't recommend that. You'll be emotionally scarred for years.

And what does Ernie look like naked, do you think?

F**k's sake Kevin, I don't look anything like that in real life. More of a Bert.

I'm sure listening was important for cavemen.
Leevil just came up with a joke:
He was considered one of the greatest in prosthetics. He was an absolute leg-end.
