She's a bit out of her comfort zone to be fair ... I'd wager she is more used to munching on some rug.

Adelaide accent, lots talk like her over there. Imagine if the UK had a Brum or Bristol Primeminster with their typical accents. No embarrassment here either.
Although I'll admit, I dont like her. |

Avoiding the banking collapse was fortuitous - certainly wasn't insight.
that's also the reason why i like germany's economic model more than britain's. making/selling things rather than creating paper profits. some people in financial firms think they're smart but they're just lazy desktop mouse clickers and sweet talkers. :thumbdown: |

No they dont! Not heard anyone speak like that here in Adelaide :confused: im Welsh and live in Adelaide will i end up speaking like her too lol :eek:
Of all the capital cities, I have found people from Adelaide/SA have the most obvious accent out of all the capital cities. I just heard Jarrod Crouch interviewed on the radio and words like field and hill were prounounced fiewwd and hiwwl. Listen to Greg Blewett on the Foxtel cricket commentary and he's exactly the same. Went to Adelaide last year and just about everyone had this feature in their accent. L's are replaced by W's in many words. Then there's the charnce, darnce and scoool pronunciations which are probably not soley confined to Adelaide. The ABC were doing an interview with a uni lecturer the other day and the Adelaide accent stood out like a beacon. I waited to the end of the interview to hear the back announce and surely enough, the person was from Adelaide. Have a listen to this woman being interviewed on a Brisbane radio station to get the full feel of the Adelaide accent. http://www.4bc.com.au/displayPopUpPl...s/grayhair.mp3 Then of course there's the Alexander Downer, Christopher Pine private school boy Adelaide accent which is probably one of the oddest accents I've ever heard. Freind of ours moved over there about 15 years ago... she is definitely beginning to sound like this. |

Re: Gillard in the US
She's pathetic and an embarrassment. I thought I hated Bono more than anyone but now that I hear that pathetic rip off of him I hate her more now.
