“ENY may not know it yet but I’m actually a nice guy.
PHILLIES WIN!!!!!!!!!”
Hey I can take it, Dave. I’m from Brooklyn, remember? The Yankees are down 2-1. The Phillies are on the verge of going to the next round, somewhat to my surprise. If the Phillies make it, they will have earned it. I think the Yanks will make it too, yesterday notwithstanding. We will see what happens.
I think you’re nice guy, Dave. It’s true, you do like to play messenger boy for someone who has frequently insulted you, and you flaunt you carnal conquests in a manner I think is excessive, but I’m sure your a nice guy otherwise.

DH – where have you heard Welsh? – it is very odd, some people think it sounds like Pakistani-pronounced English.
It usually does refer more to spelling (organisation, etc.)
Is anyone honestly going to tell me they haven’t used or heard the term “British accent”??? WTF!!!
Arkady, I think you may be on to something there, the educated Edinburgh accent is very precise in its pronunciation, I can see the claim. However, the Glaswegian accent – I dinna understand it.
“In this economy, one has to be a little selfish – ie I rather those bonus tax rev close some of the state & city budget gaps”
DIBS, I meant rather bonus be paid out and taxed (which’ll close the budget gaps) vs. them jacking us regular joes to close gap (ie 10% ppty tax hike better than 50% hike)
I though British English here referred to spellings, not accents. But be as broad as you like.
academicians = Goldman Sax?
