 Excellent, I'm going to save that for the election that's coming up in May.
 

 I was thinking of starting an I-Ching party that decides all policy on the

though.
 

 Come to think of it, there must be an app called iChing so smartphone users

 Interesting. Gravitational pull or weight of water at the high tide? Don't

 It's still an accent and I would think the scriptwriter needs to study the

incorporate the correct dialect. It is not all up to the actors, they are given

[s3raph...@yahoo.com [FairfieldLife]]

Nice - and seems accurate to me. The accent I (and most Brits) hate the most is 
the Birmingham accent (check it out on your link at the 2:25 mark). 
Interestingly, clever-dick scholars who have analysed the rhymes used by 
Shakespeare (born in Stratford-on-Avon, which is close to Birmingham) believe 
that the Bard spoke with a Birmingham accent! Tell that to the RSC. 

 Here's a similar video giving American regional accents. I love that southern 
drawl.

 I remember the last time we got within a few games of winning some cup or 
other and the change that came over the country was palapable and amazing. 
There were street parties and hugging and villages 
  where no one knew their neighbours had barbies on the green - music and 
laughter everywhere, even Martin Amis was on the news saying how overcome he 
was at the hope in national consciousness.
 

 Of course, we lost the next game and it was back to usual

Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: For salyavin and Nabby - Mysterious Red Rain

Goddammit , thanks salyavin- it was from the Science Channel on FB, someone
clearly fucked up. I see one of the last comments on this post here - "this
has already been explained and resolved as a case of terrestrial algae
spores. It happens from time to time, just like the red tides from algae
blooms." Oh well - sorry Nabs.

"In November 2001, commissioned by the Government of India's Department of 
Science & Technology, the Center for Earth Science Studies (CESS) and the 
Tropical Botanical Garden and Research Institute (TBGRI) issued a joint report 
which concluded that:

The color was found to be due to the presence of a large amount of spores of a 
lichen-forming alga belonging to the genus Trentepohlia. Field verification 
showed that the region had plenty of such lichens. Samples of lichen taken from 
Changanacherry area, when cultured in an algal growth medium, also showed the 
presence of the same species of algae. Both samples (from rainwater and from 
trees) produced the same kind of algae, indicating that the spores seen in the 
rainwater most probably came from local sources."

Thanks Ann, hope you had a good time, you all look happy enough. Must be good 
getting a tour round the place as they probably have all sorts of knowledge. 
I'd like to do one round the Roman parts of the city, I love how it's all been 
added to and mixed up over the centuries. I've never noticed that sign, shall 
pay more attention next time I'm there.

Most importantly, did you get a pie and mash?
