    People like me live in London.

    Also, not going to enter the discussion as a whole, I'm sick and grumpy and would just attack anyone who lives north of Watford.

    PM me if you have any specific questions though.

    Well if you're at lunchtime free, and work near or next to Vauxhall station like Wop and me (yes, a freak coincidence), let us know, us 3 can meet up for lunch... I'm sure we can travel UP Victoria a few reasonable stops (i.e. Oxford Circus) to meet you =p

    *I won't have my helmet =(

    Anyway, I found the pic...

    LOL seen similar a few times... walked into it once myself asking a class for "words that rhyme with white" and got the one that started with sh. Sh words are always a minefield.

    Best one is some of the ways they grass their parents up quite willingly, loads of weekend news including "my dad got drunk", "mum set the kitchen on fire" etc etc - but the story I heard of someone who recieved a vibrator off a kid for Xmas, and then the kid cheerfully announced, "my mum said she doesn't need it anymore since she got the new boyfriend so it's your present now Miss".

    I'm not a coffee/tea fan but a cake + coke or anything is fine by me

    So you guys all probably have accents huh? You could come to the states and have girls draped all over you, lead a good life.

    Chicks dig British accents.

    Nobody digs an Estuary English accent. Nobody.

    When I was about 10, I watched BBC all day hoping to pick up an accent.
    Someday...

    I'm not White/British but I've been here a good 10+ years, so I assume I sound the same as all the others (on the phone, once people come up to see me at work they're like "oh you don't sound chinese")...

    But any reason why they dig British Accents? I don't understand the fascination...

    It makes some chicks do funny things. I remember about 7-8 years ago, I was friends with this American chick and she bugged me until I let her call me. We were chatting away, nothing sexual at all, not even flirting, I think we were discussing something computer related, when all of a sudden she lets out a whimper and tells me she's naked and dripping wet and demands I don't stop talking.

    As you can imagine, I'm pretty stunned. She'd given no hint that she was turned on, but apparently the accent was such that it didn't matter what I was saying.

    I did the decent thing and kept talking until she'd had an orgasm, it seemed rude not to.

    Are Americans really that easily amused?

    Apparently so. I do have a fairly decent voice though, studied performing arts for a long time, not a bad actor.

    She was just the first... I've had several stalkers after going on voice chat/vent, that's why I tend to refuse now.

    Woman, maybe.

    Saying that we had a group of Americans come in for a meeting earlier. By the sounds of their voices, (men) I think I have to answer, yes.
