Steelers in '23
Nice try!! Speaking of which, I need to get me a Wildcats jersey. I don't have any hats either. I think I have them for all of my other favorite teams.Originally Posted by Perianne
Go Wildcats indeed!
There used to be a big sign on the edge of the city that says "Lexington, Home of Perianne". They took it down after the Wildcats won their NCAA Championship in 2012.

I would bet some serious money on the UK Wildcats winning it all this upcoming season.

I don't think 'UK', here, means what I'd like to think it means (?). Nice thought, though.
Getting back to what I think was the point of the thread, I'd describe my accent as 'soft Cockney' (a bit less soft if I've had a few ..). I was born in north London, spent much of my life there .. moved east to SE Essex, where the people have a sort of broader, more strident form of Cockney accent (it's actually difficult to pinpoint the difference). Spent around 10 years there ... moved back to 'my roots' for three years, and now I've moved again, to Wales. I've been there just short of five years.
I take pride in not having picked up anything of the 'local' accent !
It's That Bloody Foreigner Again !!!

Speaking of which, my friend has lived in England for about five years and already has the lingo down. All this talk of nappies and prams and the English spelling of words. And her oldest daughter already has an England cricket outfit.

How about Cockney rhyming slang ? Presumably not, if we're talking about northern England .. but, you never know ..
