Next gen please

[Granny Warostzcki]

Have you though about doing a podcast - either audio or video?

I'd like to see SFcrowsnest take it to the next level.

Hello Granny - I hope your name hides a beautiful swan

I don't even own a Net cam.

Bear in mind that in real life I have a Somerset accent and a fast speaker then typing is a great equaliser cos everyone reads at their normal speed.

The next level isn't audio or video but mindcasts but the technology hasn't caught up with me yet.

Is a Somerset accent bad then?

[Geoff the head Uncle]

Hello Gran

In its purest dialect, it has some affected English but a lot easier to understand than Geordie. Mine is just the accent. In Somerset, I don't even notice I have it but I suspect that's true of all regional accents, at least that don't use localised words. I've got a good ear and can switch to a couple other accents.

I should point out that the band The Wurzels don't hail from Somerset and their accent is actually Wiltshire.

 Oddly, Americans I've met don't have any problems with it.

Yarp (sorry I just really wanted to say that)

[Geoff the head Uncle]

What the hell is 'yarp'??

[Aether]

You know, Hot Fuzz "Yarp" "Narp"?  I believe yes and No

[Geoff the head Uncle]

Nope! Sorry.

I've only barely heard of 'Hot Fuzz' being a film rather than somneone with a beard on fire.
