I read about this the other day, but to see the video is something else. You have to feel for her.

Yeah, it has a sort of Dick Van Dyke quality to it.

Its weird i heard her on Radio 4 (internet broadcast).

So now rather than realising we are all Brits people will just think we are stroke victims?

Still she could work in Hollywood she sounds better than most Brit accents i hear from the american major actors. Although Brad Pitts Northern Irish in the Devils own was the ultimate and always had the Dick Van Dyke award as far as i was concerned. the only good news was he got the crap kicked out of him in Belfast whilst fact finding, they thought he was a Prod and a group of Republicans beat him up. All while researching his role as a IRA man for the movie hows that for Irony! HA.

So back to the subject if i have a major stroke does that mean i will end up sounding like George.W.Bush?

regards,

Duncan

I heard them mention that on Good Morning America! But I missed the part!

It's kinda funny, I don't sound as posh at that!

A bit of realism for him then, Robert De Niro is also a method actor
