It's really funny because all languages have different accents within the same language. I speak American English, but when I drove south I couldn't understand one word they were saying at first.

Me landing in London for the first time. And I thought I could understand English. :rolleyes:

I've seen a couple episodes and couldn't quite figure out if it were meant to be funny and isn't or what. I watched it last night, and if I want to know whether or not earth gets killed I'll have to tune in either next week or, if that was the season finale, next season. In my mind, it's not as interesting or realistic as Star Trek, and the story last night wasn't as interesting as Star Trek's stories (but there was nothing else on that I wanted to watch.
One of our favorite family movies is Galaxy Quest. I think this reminds us of it a little.

Sometimes “nothing to do” is very nice. But like you, I’d be thrilled with just new scenery! Have fun
It was so sweet of you to mention me when we thought alike. Your son will be in my hopes and prayers. I haven't seen my girlfriend that has that virus in her eyes for many years. I wish I could find her.

That's wonderful. It's great that you found something you are really interested in. I've been checking out aquariums and bettas all day. Pro's and con's of a 5g. I still want probably a 5g but 10g isn't out of the question. It depends on the dimensions of where it will be sitting. I do know I want a betta.

I love my 5 gallon Fluval! Yes, I guess bigger is better but for one Betta, snail and shrimped it’s plenty. It fits in my kitchen nicely and the filter and pump are hidden. It even has room in the pump department for a heater so that’s hidden too.
Lots of YouTube videos on this one.

You need to make a trip to Yorkshire...or Liverpool. I remember my first encounter with the shepherd/farmer who tended the flocks where I lived. Had an initial 10 minute “conversation” with him, and at the end, had absolutely no idea what he said. Same with a group of hill walkers from Liverpool. Funniest thing really.

I’ll add Glasgow, Newcastle and Birmingham to that list. They’re all strong accents and to be fair to Yorkshire, Lancashire is just as bad.

Then there’s a good strong Somerset or Cornish accent... or Bristol...

So many accents in the UK. All very different and some of them pretty near unintelligible when at their strongest :D

I suspect the man at the airport was from Liverpool. I was asking for directions to the “tube”, and I think he said, “You will never walk alone”. Or maybe it was, “Take the second left” — I couldn’t tell. :confused:
