Steady...they are all Tykes.

I always think Boromir88 sounds like a male version of Francis McDormand in Fargo - he says things like "You bet'cha!" and "Uh-hmm, yah!".

Saucepan Man sounds like Paul Bettany to me for some reason.

Mithalwen sounds like Ellen McArthur - must be the close proximity to all those yachties on the South coast coupled with a businesslike and 'capable' air.

I though Betty was from the red rose side.....

But you have your own back with Ellen ... she isn't a proper local and really whiny - keep thinking of dead ringers .... hate that crowd... yar yar....second homers ... bleating about Cowes week and spinnakers... or else barking mad sociopaths who think spending months alone in a satellite fitted bathtub is a sign of a superior personality ... the last time I would rather under go dentistry without novocaine than go to a yottie party again.... and business like and capable ..lol well I have a personlity change for work -the rest of the time I am in a daze.......

SPM is the owner of a generic Silly Brit accent (think Monty Python).

Haha, that's great

Oh, my beloved Ka, let me tell you: I have had the pride, the privilege--nay! the pleasure of hearing Gil-Galad's real voice. It is angelic. Better than one of Mozart's violin concerto pieces and I love those! Better than Aragorn singing the Lay of Luthien, and I love that too! But I love Gil, so....

Woo, I sound like Sean Bean, my favorite actor

You should be happy you had the Boromir-avatar when I first came to the downs; otherwise you'd be having the voice of Bugs Bunny...

Now that Thinlómien has an avvie of Winnie the Pooh I'm afraid that his/her voice will turn into that of the Christopher Robin voice, and will continually be saying 'Silly old bear'.

mormegil · 09-22-2005, 04:09 PM

Kath kind of sounds like Scully but with a slightly higher voice.

Folwren has a little bit deeper voice for her age and has a slight southern accent (southern US that is) by which I mean Tennessee region not Mississippi.

TORE talks very excitedly. So much so that he seems to be catching his breath after each sentence. He has a very friendly voice.

A much informed man on the mysteries of love once said:

The truth is rarely pure, and never simple...

I am sorry if our hearings are different, experience speaks in many tongues, but love is the better!

Good luck to you then, hope your love is an honest and pure one...

Actually, I share it with Rimbaud and Squatter, among others. I get full use of it on Wednesdays ...

Now this one I like. I was discussing with my brother last night what constitutes the English national identity and we both agreed that, as far as external perceptions are concerned, the reserved, stiff upper lip, John Cleese-type probably best suits the bill. Although it really only applies in any meaningful way to a small minority of the British population.

Having said that, I am fully licensed by the Ministry of Silly Walks and tend to be paranoid about (and unsuccessful at) not mentioning the war when in the company of Germans.
