But before I get back to work, I have been asked to remind you all that my event at the Stratford Picture House on April 5th is the only public event I'll be doing for The Maleficent Seven. For those of you who don't know what a public event IS, it's basically me on stage yapping and answering questions for an hour, and then we go on to have a signing. All other appearances for TMS are just signings.
I've been asked to remind you about this because apparently there are lots of tickets available. Well, I'm ASSUMING there are lots of tickets available. The words used were "it's been slow to book", which means roughly the same thing. Maybe it's because it's the Easter holidays or it's the start of a weekend, but usually events pretty much sell out in a very short space of time. So Harper Collins publicity people are all going "uhhh... what's happening?"
Oh, and for those of you who have already booked tickets, don't you fret. If it IS a smaller crowd than usual, it just means the event will be more of a casual chat between all of us. And also you won't have to wait in line for hours.
But, uh, for all you others... book a ticket. Or something.
I'm getting back to work now. But before I do, two pictures of cats.
One cute.
One scary.
Keep her lit Derek!!! You're nearly there! all your adoring fans will be very very delighted with your efforts!! even if we will demand another one straight away!!! But you're loved and you know it!

ReplyDeleteGo Derek! Go LSODM!
ReplyDeleteAnd I love the cat photos. XD
Yay new post
ReplyDeleteWhy do you say Dear Lord when you are THE Golden God?
ReplyDeleteIm just gonna do this collectively...
ReplyDeleteHEY GUYS!
Hey! Not really here now, though.
ReplyDeleteBye, all!
Only two more days until TMS I think I can last that long.
ReplyDeleteHey, Mel and whoever else is here! I'm on my kindle so msd and wbd. Also, I'm going to investigate food in a few minutes:)
ReplyDeleteDerek, I hope you're not relinquishing your place in this world as The Golden God :O
You got your kindle back then Ieni? It WAS you who's kindle was confiscated right?
ReplyDeleteGah. After I got told by my good friend Melica that there was a new post, I had to spend ages trying to load the page . . .
ReplyDeleteI hate it when it won't load. D: Derek's blog often does that.
BUT ANYWAYS. HI!!!!
Hey! :D PS. DON'T KILL TANITH!!! EVER!
ReplyDeleteThanks for telling us that there was a new post Mel :)
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteHi,Star!
ReplyDeleteYes, Aisling:) My dad pointed out where my mum had put it. It was embarrassingly obvious , but my mum still wants me to keep it downstairs. Obviously, I'm not going to let that happen...
Well at least you got it back Ieni :)
ReplyDeleteomg u r the most amazing author ever.i have all skull books and the 8th comes out a week b4 my bday cant wait!
ReplyDeleteNo prob :)
ReplyDeleteDont worry Shanna she doesnt die...
Mel no telling us ANYTHING about TMS. I know that's not really something but please be careful. I don't want the story ruined.
ReplyDelete*facepalm* And of course, after I finally got here, I copied the URL of the comment box to paste on the page with Derek's blog on (because I like to be able to make the comment window the size I like), only I COPIED the URL for Derek's blog instead of pasting it . . . So it went and started loading Derek's blog istead of the comments section. So I had to spend ANOTHER age getting Derek's blog to respond so I could get back here. Nice one, Star. Real smart. XD
ReplyDeleteOhh no I wont, I would much rather that you cryed/was happy/punched a tree because of the book and not me :)
ReplyDeleteNow I'm really worried is it that bad Mel? Not the book. The book will obviously be excellent. I mean does something shocking happen. If it does don't say what it is just if something shocking yes or no. If you want to say yes or no that is.
ReplyDeleteDid you punch a tree after reading it?
ReplyDeleteBut, Mel, if I punched a tree, it might be you, especially if it looks stalkery;)
ReplyDeleteOMG, fromage fraud are so nice asdfghjkl. Is it possible to fangirl about a food? But also Doctor Who and TMS in the same week asdfghjkl!
Well...yes...I did...but thats not the point, it really depends on what characters you like, what ones you dont and how you view all the things that happen...so I cant really say :)
ReplyDelete*frais. Yes, autocorrect, I'm aware it's not English.
ReplyDeleteOk that's makes sense Mel. Is your hand alright? I'd say punching a tree hurt.
ReplyDeleteOhh I may have punched one of our kind Ieni...NOOO! But ohh well :)
ReplyDeleteMy hands fine now :) but I think the tree is pretty broken...
You do realise that it was me who you punched...? ;)
ReplyDeleteTHAT CAT IS SO CUTE
ReplyDeleteGtg I have football training. It's soo cold. It's been snowing on of all day. Well it was icy snow that didn't stick but it's still snow.
ReplyDeleteBye
Well...sorry..? But when you read it you will understand...I hope... ;)
ReplyDelete*laughs*
ReplyDeleteAh, everything becomes more complicated when you're trees. :)
At the end of Christmas, we always chop up and burn our Christmas trees. *grins at thought of burning Melica and Ieni's relatives*
And people chop down trees ALL THE TIME . . . :)
FOURS AIS! :(
HI SCÁTH! :)
oh Derek
ReplyDeleteYou do make me laugh
Hey Luce :)
ReplyDeleteWHAT DO YOU MEAN? BURNING MY TREE FAMILY? AND IENI'S TOO?
i can't believe Cassidy is sending me a poster, omg
ReplyDeletei love her so much
*shifty eyes*
ReplyDeleteEr.
Um.
*giggles*
Bye Aisling, Hi Clover!
ReplyDeleteGeorgina - The S.P News thing you do is amazing/epic/awesome!
NOOO! We have an artificial tree or something, so we always reuse it:) MY RELATIVES! *breaks down and sobs* That's a breech of Tree Rights! Tree Cruelty!
That's so awesome, Clover! What's the poster of? Because I know you were looking for a Tanith one.
We have an artificial tree, but we get a real live one every year as well.
ReplyDeleteIt's The Ritual Burning of the Christmas Tree and not doing it is against the laws and traditionsof the Taylor family! :)
JUST A SKULDUGGERY POSTER C:
ReplyDeleteTANITH POSTERS DON'T EXIST
YET
BUT TOM WANTS TO MAKE THEM C:
Aww ok, its fine Im pretty sure my family arent in the christmas tree business...
ReplyDeleteBbs! :(
ReplyDeleteNooo! But isn't it dead by the time you get it?
ReplyDeleteUh, that's a strange ritual...
It's still awesome, though!:)
Byebye, Star!:(
ReplyDeleteYay, me and Mel can just run around and then stalk Derek unsuspectingly by being trees. Nobody ever suspects trees! (except Narnia)
Yeah! We can follow him about outside and just freeze if he looks at us ! Hmm...but how to get me (who is in scotland) and Ieni (who is in england) to Ireland...
ReplyDeleteHe said 'all other appearances for TMS...' - where are they?? I've been trying to find out for ages :( I'm obviously not looking in the right place

ReplyDeleteI would gladly book a ticket if it wasn't completely on the wrong side of Europe. Meh.
ReplyDeleteHi again. :)
ReplyDeleteI am so upset that I can't go to these things. Derek! Y u no come to America?
ReplyDeleteHello, Star and Kribu!
ReplyDeleteThere's no way my parents would let me go to Norwich or London -_-
They're standing behind you with a bow primed and a scathing eye again, aren't they?
ReplyDelete~distracts the "people" by throwing kittens on them... Kitten who have given in to their dark side~
Mwahahahaahaaaa
Also, the book is going to be awesome! YOU CAN DO IT!
But then, the question of capabilities was never a point, was it?
So instead I'll just say: IT HAD BETTER BE READY BEFORE AUGUST!
I think I might be an evil kitten in disguise....
Hello, Leni!
ReplyDeleteHiya, Bsoithea!
Hola, Kribu!
Greetings, Kids Konnect! [Do I call you "Kids" or "Konnect" or "KK" or "Konny"?]
How're you folks?
OMGGG
ReplyDeleteSKYRIL! IS IT YOU? REALLY?
*IS BACK*
ReplyDeleteGreat good to know!
ReplyDeleteAnd by the way, I will be distant and might possible disappear unexpectedly never to return... Or at least never to return during the duration of the present conversations which are about to be started.
ReplyDeletePHOENIIIIIIIIIIIIIXXXXXXXXX! ~hugs~
ReplyDeleteHEY! How're you? :D
You should email me, you know.
Hiya, Brad!
ReplyDeletePleasure to make your acquaintance! ~gives a purple lollipop~
Welcome back, Bsoithea!

Watch it!
You too, Derek Landy!
You'll appreciate it :D
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9p0BqUcQ7i0
Links might help? I found the Stratford info, but it says on their page that only books bought at the event will be signed.
ReplyDeleteIs that true?
Hiya, Melica!
ReplyDeleteHow're you?
~gives a purple lollipop~
Greetings, Dogeared!
ReplyDeleteCute name :3
Pleasure to make your acquaintance!

@Melica
ReplyDeleteI'm good! :]

Forewarning, I'm obsessed with ThePianoGuys O_O
@Phoenix
ReplyDeleteI KNOW! xD
It's been so loooong....
I haven't seen you anywhere!
Well, I have two emails, but I mostly use lollipopskyril@gmail.com in Blogland. 8]
@Phoenix
ReplyDeleteSo what's up with you? :D
OMG I LOVE THE PIANO GUYS!
ReplyDeleteBy the way, you don't go on Goodreads!
ReplyDelete:O
ReplyDeleteAre.

~glomps Melica~
@Luciana Clover Scáth
ReplyDeleteThank you!! I've been looking all over for that! (well...obviously haven't been looking hard enough! :P )
Brent Cross or Guildford, here I come! *fingers crossed*
YEAH! IM SERIOUS! MY BROTHER SHOWED ME TEH VIDEOS A WHILE AGO AND I WAS LIKE WAAAAAAH? XD
ReplyDeleteGrettings, Flora!
ReplyDeletePleasure to make your acquaintance! :]
~gives purple lollipop~
@Melica
ReplyDeleteLOL!
That's so awesome!!
My Blogland brother showed me, and I apparently thanked him a thousand times because I utterly adore them!
Don't you just love the Mission Impossible one? And Nearer My God to Thee?? And Over the Rainbow??? And Titanium???? And.... Ok, Basically ALL of them? xD
THANK GEORGINA
ReplyDeleteSHE'S WONDERFUL AND SENT ME THEM!
I did find some of them, though...!
Greetings to you too, Skyril!
ReplyDelete*graciously accepts lollipop*
I have nothing to give in return...uh...ummm....
*awkwardly picks the nearest flower, which is, unfortunately, wilting*
Um...here.
Sorry :/
Yes, I love them all SO MUCH! I was just watching titanium!
ReplyDelete@Flora
ReplyDelete:D
It's beautiful! Thank you! :]
~puts flower in my hair~
How're you doing?
@Melica
ReplyDeleteGAH! This is so cool >.<
It's about TIME I found someone who has the same musical tastes as myself :D
In which Ali uses her school blog to comment because she got no sleep... hey y'all It's Kids Konnect's real person account.
ReplyDeleteEh, I shall tell you over email.
ReplyDeleteDrop me one, shall you?
FlamePhoenix25@gmail.com
Hey everyone else! I haven't met any of you, 'cept for Mel and Scath.
OH
ReplyDeleteIF YOU GO TO A WHSMITHS ONE YOU NEED TO HAVE BOUGHT TMS FROM WHSMITHS TO GET IN, APPARENTLY
Oohhh yeah...HEY FLAME! Hows it going?!? :D *is very sorry she forgot to say hi earlier*
ReplyDelete@Skyril
Theres a couple of people at my school that love them and they kinda introduced me to them aswell XD
Oh and Sky, the reason I don't go on is cos I don't read :/
ReplyDeleteHey Flora and Time is an Allusion.
I'm calling you Tiaa.
@Time is an Illusion
ReplyDeleteHellooo!
I commented at you a little ways back... Now that you changed your account, shall I call you Time? Or Illusion? Orrrr.... TI?
*awkwardly tries to figure out what is going on*
ReplyDelete*has never seen a new post early enough to actually be in the area when people are talking*
I is good, Melicia. Why do you have TMS? .-.
ReplyDelete@Skyril Oh! Call me Ali!
ReplyDeleteI think I've seen you on here before...
But Time is an Allusion, we talk here ALL THE TIME . . . :)
ReplyDeleteI come here to talk literally every day. :P SOMEONE'LL be talking here at almost any time . . . :)
How the hell do you get to Guildford from Sheffield!?
ReplyDelete@Phoenix
ReplyDeleteAh, Ok, well email me when you get the chance. :}
lollipopskyril@gmail.com is my email, but for some reason I didn't connect it with my blogger account to my gmail account so I can't actually log in right now... :/
Gr!
ReplyDeleteBrb!
We have a pretty good community here, if I do say so myself. :)
ReplyDeleteYeah, we all need lives. *giggles*
@Falme: Lots of shops have released TMS early . . .
I'm usually kind of scared to talk to you people... you all seem to know each other already.
ReplyDelete*Flame:
ReplyDeleteUmmm...people keep asking me this and honestly ...Im not too sure? I preordered it, then a week or two ago I got an email saying that it had been dispatched...so then on Saturday I went to Waterstones and picked it up, I read it, put it back on my shelf and went to punch a tree :)
ReplyDeleteAli, reason for that is cos we got to know each other :3
ReplyDeleteI'm getting that impression yes. The internet is pretty scary though, you could all be creepers ;)
ReplyDeleteWe only know each other coz we come here and see each other. *has been coming here for over a year*
ReplyDeleteBut we most of us live in differet countries and very rarely have any of us met each other, so meh. -_-
Don't be scared of us! We don't bite! Well, we bite food. And I''m sure quite a few of us bite people as well. Wel, most of us probably. But to hold that against us is discrimination. *nods* I think.
Sorry, totally failing to not look scary here . . . :P
But you do find some very awesome nice people here. It's why I'm here. :)
@Skyril
ReplyDelete*sigh of relief*
Ah, thank goodness you liked the flower!
I'm good, thank you for asking, and yourself? :)
@Mel
ReplyDelete~is jealous of your school~
NOBODY I know knew about them except Joe, my Blogland brother, and then he only kind of likes them xD
@Ali
Oooh, cool, alright!
And just so you know, there's often people around or nearby in Blogland, if you comment and hang out for a while, generally other people will show up :D
And I haven't been coming on very frequently, but I'm [once again] trying to change that xD
Oh, and I just saw that you said we all seem to know each other already? Not especially. There are a TON of people I don't know, and those of whom I Don't, I greet... Then we know each other. :D
In the beginning everybody was super friendly. Actually, most people [at least of the ones I've met] are still that way :]
I MADE A PROFILE PICTURE!!!
ReplyDeleteAnd I'd come here more often if tumblr didn't own my soul.
@Ali
ReplyDeleteBy the way, you got the 100th comment!
I always think that's cool. I mean, sure, the 200th and 201st are awesome, but I still like the in-betweens!
The people that were here when I first came on are mostly different to the ones on now. But the older and newer Bloglands ae equally awesome. :)
ReplyDeleteActually, I'm newer than Flame and Skyril . . . -_-
But when I'm here with Fabi and Mara and Ieni and people, I'm the oldest. :)
I'm not going to live after the next two weeks...
ReplyDelete;-;
CP2 to finish, and TMS to read ;-;
Feels.
You got a butcher's knife and you,
You cut me in half,
You stole my heart;
And away you laughed.
Ahhh 100th comment never got that before! (i usually show up around 2000) but I g2g, my online class is over. Goodbye strange blog people!
ReplyDeleteALI OUT
@Ali
ReplyDeleteThat's very true xD
But fortunately, I've only met three or four in the last 3 years, and they weren't stalkers, just annoying/mean/crazy-in-a-bad-way.
Most of us are pretty much awesome 8]
I don't want to get Facebook or Twitter or Tumblr or anything else, because then I'll want to spend time on them and I want to keep my time . . . D:
ReplyDeleteFarewell, Ali!
ReplyDeleteSee you another time!
Bye Ali! Nice to meet you :)
ReplyDelete:( FOURS TIME!
ReplyDelete@Bsoithea
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean xD
I don't have any, and I don't think I want to get them either :P
Gr, I've actually got to go too -_-
ReplyDeleteBYE, FOLKS!
ReplyDeleteHopefully I'll see y'all again before very much time has elapsed! I'm kinda wonky, so that may, or may not happen O_O
JUST DON'T FORGET ME!
I WILL be back eventually :D
~sets out bowls of purple lollipops and confetti bombs~
Ta-ta!
Weellll I need to go so I hope you all have an awesome day bye! :)
ReplyDeleteHello I have returned from football training in the snow that refused to stick.
ReplyDeleteAww. Bye Sky and Ali!
ReplyDelete*hugs both*
:( FOURS SKYRIL! FOURS MEL! :(
ReplyDeleteWB ASH! :)
Bye Skyril, nice meeting you!
ReplyDeleteAh, Star I didn't realise you were here too!
I'm not here, I'm over there. *points a metre away*
ReplyDelete@self: What were you trying to say there?
Self: Um . . . I don't actually know.
@self: *sighs* Then why did you say it?
Self: ?
@self: ?
Self: Meh. All disconnected atm . . .
*waves le garlic baguette around*
ReplyDeleteYes I can do this and not get arrested.
I MIGHT BE VAL ON SATURDAY.
She'll be in Ireland on Thursday. God save us..
STAR, remember when there was eight of you?
ReplyDeleteWbd
ReplyDelete@Flame: Yes, actually. ACHEIVEMENT! *never usually really remembers anything*
ReplyDeleteYay for Ivy! :)
Star, do you have FB?
ReplyDeleteGuys today we gotta be EXTREMELY careful commenting we need comment space for tomorrow for the TMS Celebration tomorrow at MIDNIGHT Irish time for those in America at 8PM EST TOMORROW
ReplyDeleteBrb, eating.
ReplyDeleteNo, sorr, I don't have fb. :(
ReplyDeleteSo midnight tomorrow Zaf?
ReplyDeleteStar, are you going to Leeds?
ReplyDeleteMaybe the snow will stick tonight and I'll wake up tomorrow morning and there'll be snow everywhere. Hopefully.
ReplyDeleteAisling, that's unlikely, though.
ReplyDeleteCorrect see I hate to ask Derek to stop writinf and a post for us and I really rather not so as we have this one we just gotta not spam
ReplyDeleteI know but I can hope.
ReplyDeleteActually I don't want it to stick because then I might not be able to get to a bokshop on Thursday to get TMS.
How many comment spaces do you think we'll need for the celebration Zaf?
ReplyDeleteEh well if we say reach 400-600 comments before midnight tis ok even on te Requim Ball we managed to have an After Party and the After Party's After Party
ReplyDelete*hands Derek a cookie*
ReplyDeleteProgress will come. And so will people, for that matter. :P
*throws cookies at the rest of Blogland*
Howdy.
so we have all of tonight and tomorrow (Irish time) to try not get past about 600 comments?
ReplyDeleteWe SHOULD be able to do that. Maybe if everyone comments a bit less than usual until then just in case though.
Maybe Derek will post again before midnight tomorrow though. In case he doesn't we'll just be more careful.
Zaf I hope we can do it.
Hi Taia
ReplyDeleteOhh yummy cokkies. *Takes cokkie* *Sits in corner eating cookie*
Mine
We can i have faith in Blogland and I wanna be prepared in case Derek DOESNT post I did tweet him and tell him if he can he is welcome to join in
ReplyDelete*cookies
ReplyDeleteI hope he joins in. That would make the whole celebration SOO much better.
Derek please join our TMS celebration. Your presence would improve the celebrations 1000 times.
*tilts head*
ReplyDeleteIf you're worried about running out of comment space, we used to have an 'Overflow Blog' to fall back on, when that happened.
Could you go with something like that? If the comment space overflows, somebody could just put up a post on another blog for the party to continue, and post the link at the end of the last page. ^^
Hiya, Aisling. :)
Taia that could work too.
ReplyDeleteBut it'd probably be nicer to have the celebration all on Derek's page.
But that's a good thing to know about.
This comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteWho decided to have a TMS celebration?
ReplyDeleteOr is there a celebration for every book?
It's a very good idea.
I decided actually lol I thought it would be a nice way for long time Bloglandians and new ones to meet and all
ReplyDelete*nods* That it would. Derek, should make an appearance.
ReplyDelete*pokes the Golden God* Please?~ :3
*nods, again*
Just an idea, if you do find yourselves running out of space. :)
I'm not sure.
I think Zaf came up with the idea to hold another Requium Ball, but because it made more sense to hold the Ball on the date(ish) annually, a suggestion for a TMS celebration rose instead. A discussion followed, and thus the Epic TMS Celebration of Epicality was born.
Or something like that. :P
*same date(ish), annually,
ReplyDeleteIn any case, it was an awesome idea.
Zaf it's an amazing idea.
ReplyDeleteDoes everyone know about it?
Wait if we don't want to waste space here then why don't we just go back to the last post and comment there?
Or do we only ever commen on the most recent post?
ReplyDeleteI'm so jelly of people who got to meet Roger Allen and Ben >:|
ReplyDelete*comment
ReplyDeleteHi Tyler
Hm, I think that's another thing to be done if a blog post runs out of comment space, actually. Forgot about that one. xD
ReplyDeleteAs for going there now, we could do. ^^
Hi, Tyler.
Hi Aisling and everyone
ReplyDeleteIf we flare switching blog posts it will take me a while to get there
ReplyDeleteFlare?? I mean are
ReplyDeleteSo will we or won't we?
ReplyDeleteIf we are we should leave a message here as the last comment telling everyone else to comment on the other blog post until the celebration starts.
No we'll be fine guys
ReplyDeleteOr at least until tomorrow evening.Or whatever time it is wherever you are at the time it's the evening Irish time.
ReplyDeleteAre you sure Zaf there's 27 hours to go until the celebration starts.
ReplyDeleteIF we should get close to 600 then we go
ReplyDelete*tilts head*
ReplyDeleteHow about, if comment space reduces a little to much in the next 27 hours, commenting could move there THEN.
I think we'll probably be okay for space, though. ^^
Hi again!
ReplyDeleteMsd, csgd. :(
When we fill up posts, we these days move back to the previous post . . .
ReplyDeleteWe decided doing that was better than an overflow blog.
If you look back to whenever it was, we filled up TONS of blog posts and had to go back quite few months and then to the previous YEAR. *laughs*
Hi Star
ReplyDeleteyes IF we need to we will. That's probably the best way to do it.
wow that's pretty far back Star.
ReplyDeleteWhat you said about newer minions meeting older ones Zaf . . . I like that. :)
ReplyDeleteIt hurts me that some of the awesome people I know don't know some of the other awesome people I know, because they're all so awesome and should know each other . . .
Yeah . . . I think we posted a lot of comments in them days and Derek didn't post posts that often. :)
ReplyDeleteI can't remember when it was, but it can't have been that long away from 2011. We were in 2012 and we went back to 2011, yes. *nods*
Oh, look, Zaf got there first. :P
ReplyDeleteHiya, Star. :3
On another note, I just feel I should throw this out there:
http://alloutorg.tumblr.com/post/45930943249
Yes I'd like to meet some older minions.
ReplyDeleteI've only recently started coming here. I started last month. I've been a SP fan for a good while though.
I'm so glad I came here. I've met loads of amazing wonderful people.
SO to sum up, We are staying hereof
ReplyDeleteWas just watching this cooking show, and whenever they said caster sugar they said it "carster sugar" in a Southern England accent, and I always imitated them. "CARSter sugar." XD
ReplyDeleteI mean, I say paragrarph and marster and crarft and whatever else coz I used to live down SOuth and it sounds better, but I say grass Northerninly and bath Northernly and most things Northernly, and I don't recall having heard 'caster sugar' i a Southern accent before . . . :P
I generally refer to the South as 'down there' and the North as 'up here.' For example, I often say 'we moved up here' in sentences. :)
Uh. No offense to anyonewho lives in Southern England. I love Southern accents, anyways. :)
ReplyDeleteI think Brittish people sound the same
ReplyDeleteNow Em and NJ both are Irish but have completely different accents
'Scary' cat picture looks like my cat...
ReplyDeleteI give up, I have asked my mother to rethink about whether it's possible to get me to that event or not. It kind of starts an hour before her work finishes...so I may have to continue badgering about the signings on the 6th..I NEED TO KNOW DETAILS FOR THAT ONE!!! *breakdown*
*Switches off crazy mode* Okay...hello anyone...can't be bothered to look at previous posts, what's happening here?
*hugs Ais* And we met an amazing person too - you! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm glad I came here too. It's improved me as a person, I think. Made me more apprecaitive of people and given me better people skills. :P
I've been here for the most part of two years.
ReplyDeleteBut I'm not exactly the most frequent of visitors.
*laughs*
I don't really speak in any specific way. Sometimes I'll say "marster" or "crarft", sometimes not.
Generally, I think I sort of go for something in between. :P
Zaf threre are loads of different Irish accents.
ReplyDeleteThere's different Dublin accents even.
Brits? Sounding the same? I'd hate to think my poshness sounds like the chavs I sit next to in Maths...
ReplyDeleteThen there are the ones who come from the places that pronounce things the same ways Americans do, just less accenty and I should shut up now, I don't really know what I'm talking about...WAFFLES!
ReplyDelete*there
ReplyDeleteHi BJ
Lol sorry and uh BJ discussing the TMS Celebration
ReplyDelete*crosses fingers*
Oh I hope Derek decides to listen!
WHAAT??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
ReplyDelete*absolute stunnedness*
ZAF, WE BRITIHS ARE ONE OF THE COUNTRIES WITH THEMOST VARIATION I OUR ACCENTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I don't know many accents, but I know strong Yorkshire accents, posh Southern accnts (generalising a bit there, sorry), sort of know Cockney accents, and know what I would considor normal, which I can't really describe beacuse it's just . . . normal . . . nothing really stands out about it. :P
And most of the above accents are COMPLETELY different from each other.
Comparing a strong Yorkshire accent to a posh Suthern accent islike comparing an American accent to a British one.
You just haven't met enough British people. :P
Ah, I should probably explain my brain. I explode angrily and make huge great speeches without actually being more than a few percent angry then utterly forget about it five minutes later and make few grudges.
