      if you want, I can record myself doing a horrible impression... it might start out sounding Angloish, but will degenerate into Aussie...


      I might get Irish on your asses too... there's no telling what may happen
      To us, it is the BEAST.

          Of course, the irony in attempting to reproduce Received Pronunciation (ie- Posh English) is that it originated as an attempt to mimic the mangled prot-German accents of the Royal Family.

          Therefore I will now be reverting into the oldest surviving true English vernacular- peasant West Country.

                        I regret that the Teutothread was closed, as I am drinking German camomile tea and checking on my home-made basement sauerkraut.

                            Did you know that George Orwell wrote a Defence of English Cooking.

                            Even he couldn't defend it...

                              What's wrong with English cooking?

                                I'm surprised no tea fans called me out on this one. The first tea is real but the second is made up (Darjeeling MYOFB (Mind Your Own F*cking Business)). Oh well.
