We all know that there are many different accents in the UK. I can recognise some local accents, such as Liverpool and Yorkshire. I understand that accents vary from geographical areas to generations. People can tell that someone is well-educated by the way one speaks (terminology). Yet, much more than that, it seems to me that most British can instantly tell someone's social background when they hear s/he speaks. Why is that? One time I met two people who have different accents, but my friend said they both went to public schools (well I'm aware that going to public schools doesn't necessary mean one is from upper class...http://www.englishforums.com/English/StathamVideoBritishSpeech/jhzpv/post.htmSat, 20 Jun 2009 17:16:06 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:787784fandorinHi friends.

I have 50 episodes on Youtube, and 500,000 views. But only 123 subscribers. I made fishing episodes, fake verite, scripted reality, along with action reality (catching trophy fish). Its really niche stuff, and there just arent that many people that care about snook and tarpon fishing online. Since I have to beg my friends and get them drunk and baked just to let me point the camera at them, I can't do much more then set up situations and get them talk about it to camera. The results are horrible, but we have a good time and sometimes we catch nice fish. We are definately handicapped though. Lets face it, middle aged cracker fishing is not in highest of demand on the internet.

That was the top price for Leonard Cohen's three sold-out concerts at Salle Wilfrid Pelletier of Place des Arts. Still, on Monday night, at his first hometown appearance since 1993, there appeared to be nothing but joy on the faces of the paying customers.

Well I don't think it's quite there yet, but this demo is very close. Actually, reviewing it, I suspect this motion capture tied to the best texturing and lighting composited expertly into a natural scene would fool many. You see, I think that this exactly illustrates the point because it's precisely demonstrates the "close but no cigar" aspect of this technology. It just flat out doesn't look "real" and when that CGI girl smiles and shows her perfect peg-like teeth, or scowls and shows the not- quite real interior of her mouth and the illusion degrades just that little bit more for me, at least,...http://www.englishforums.com/English/OtMyFirstYoutubeClip/3/jlkbx/Post.htm#809007Mon, 10 Mar 2008 16:30:57 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:809007avoid normal situations.So, I've entered some sort of new age.

That was really lame. Maybe if I knew all the nuance of this Brooker guy it would have been funnier but it just wasnt a good take on "the credits squeeze" to me. First off, the BBC is actually taking time to discuss credit size? What for? Allow me to get all Henry Fonda and Angry on the other 11 members of this BBC committee. Credit size ladies and gentleman? Ok, I give you Director. But thats it.
