Save The Weekend Fixtures

Mmmmm...Scully...mmmmm

Is that the English accent or the Yankee accent version? Weird woman...

Steady on, Lever ol' chap. I considered her somewhat hot during her X-Files days.

Yeah, yeah, eye of the beholder and all that.

Oh she is smokin' but still a weird woman accent changer type person!

So a bit like Madonna then?

No, Madonna 'thinks' she's putting on a British accent but just sounds like an American trying some funny accent.

Ms Andersons is full blown proper posho English!

Maybe she was just staying "in character"?

Having looked it up it appears the English accent is her natural one - grew up in the UK until the age of 11 and got teased at school in the US because of her accent.

Still weird how she doesn't just settle on one but changes it for different interviews in different countries.

Possibly doesn't realise she's doing it.

Biggsey, I've signed your petition.

Thank you very much, consider it your good deed for the day.... and an idea for tomorrow's would be to send it to everyone you know ; )

Thanks again, most appreciated.

And your good deed would be to return here in the future and join the conversation.

We're not all mad, you know.

Which team would that be Biggsey?
Or have you aready posted the name?

It's Surrey. I don't like to mention it straight off the bat as there is a lot of prejudice against them which, considering their woeful performances the past few seasons, is somewhat misplaced.

I should mention that I have only become affiliated with one team in the past couple of seasons as I live very close to the ground now, I'm generally just a cricket fan and want all counties to do well for the benefit of the England team.

You and the Emu (on here) ought to hit it off then - though he tries desperately hard to avoid being positive about the Slurries!!
Prejudice you say?!!
Try supporting Muddlesex or the Chavs east of London ...dem Northerners can be 'orrible to us at times!!
Call us all posh here darn Saaf ... as if, in Chavessex's case !!

Scummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!!

Forgive Lever .... he's a Chaaav v v v v v v under an old, well soiled Burberry raincoat with its flaps cut out .... (don't ask !!).

I support Surrey because I live just a 15 minute train ride from the ground, it would be churlish not too. I genuinely do like all the counties though, I just like watching cricket and want the England team to be the best in the world.

Gillian Anderson is many things; a full-blown Anglo by upbringing and a natural blonde.

Naturally, working on an American show as an American FBI agent, she did something very out of character in putting on an American accent. Her and Stephen Moyer are two of the Anglos who do manage to put on good Yankee doodle accents.

Whereas Keira Knightley . . .

PS - btw I wouldn't call hers a posh accent, but if that's what passes for posh nowadays, I begin to understand why my accent is considered 'posh.'

Keira Knightley did a pretty good job in the Jacket

Christian Bale does all his promotional interviews in the accent he uses in the film he's plugging, so as not to distract the potential audience during the film with the knowledge that he's putting on a fakey.

Does that make him a pretentious twat? I wouldn't like to say - lest he and I be f*cking done, professionally.

I can forgive Christian Bale anything.

I thought you'd be more of a Sean Bean woman Ange?

I am when I want a rough, tough, no nonsense man who'd drag me off by the hair. Christian is a bit more toy boy.
