I've been watching for that to run here in Kentucky. I've seen it 2-3 times but it's a favorite and its been years since it was on local cable. I'm a little surprised its showing in Ireland.

LOL. I just meant I am surprised there would be overseas interest in that movie. You all probably have more "goodies" than what I have. Don't you know all Kentuckians are deprived. :mrgreen:

A fantastic rendition of the bass line from " You are the one that I want" by Jade Justine from approx 3 years ago. We can smell our own and this young lady is a BASS player mistakes and all. She has inspired me. Just to watch her, she lives that bassline.

Eh?
Electricity and the interweb, no deoderant? :o :D

I'm watching (from my steam powered recording box) a thing set in "N'ern Ironed" with Gillian Anderson as a rather botoxed DCI sent in to do some checks.
Is it "The Fall?" I think so.
Not bad. A bit slow, but some credible touches.

Yes the Fall.

A bit slow seems to be a good description and it's "Norn Iron" or maybe "Norn Irn" for a phonetic sounding equivalent to here in our accent (at it's broadest). You are being kind of course, my first impressions were - what is this crap lol. Gillian was Scully so she can be in anything and she's ok in my book but as for the rest - well below par. Maybe it will turn out brilliant, but for now, for me anyway..... ughhhhhhhhh.

I tend to think of our accent as a condensed version of the British Isles. Take the Scots, Welsh and English variations, condense them further and then add the Irish variations, then split it per region. We have quite a spread for such a small land mass and that's just the North.

I can't pass up the opportunity to mention this next thing. A new Dracula movie is to be filmed here http://news.sky.com/story/1093401/dracu ... rn-ireland

Now, it shouldn't feature our accent (rightly so) but in our accent the word Dracula can best be intimated as Drac-a-lar. It's not as phonetic as Norn Irn but if you can imitate our accent then saying Drac-a-lar seems to work, for a broad Belfast accent anyway.

Here's a Dublin radio station's comedy characters take on our accent and 'situation' - very funny. The Toll Trolls.

Thanks Trav. I'm running your last post through Google Translate and awaiting results. ;)
They've extended their range considerably, of late.

That site you posted requires running Java. Don't do that. You want a ship to sink? Put a hole in it. Want a computer to sink, use Java.

I have it completely uninstalled on all of my systems and I recommend for everyone to do the same.

glurk - you make a good point. I didn't use the site (I don't have java installed any more either!) I just posted the link. Thoughtless of me.
It might be better if other people didn't use it either, yes, for fear that the evil coffee bean caffeine them out.
If they want help with Klingon or Romulan, they can come back here to Trav.
Ahem.
:oops:

I thought I had removed all my java stuff, but it keeps finding a way back. I don't do auto-updates either. Any ideas as to what I might be missing?
