And John Paul Weir, when I think of the time in my life when I came soooo cloooooose to moving to Portrush forever, I don't remember the airport officials (erm) sounding anything like that!


Nancy, now why would you go and do a crazy thing like that?!



I had my head turned by an Ulster boxing champion named Osborne... You gotta admit, a run (well, today, 20 years older, I'd likely walk...) along the beach in Portrush is a beautiful experience. Hey, looking out my window now at the drizzling April sky brings me back...

Now, back to the subject at hand: I notice she pronounced the s in Paris.

Quite a feat nonetheless!

All the best, people, all the best, thanks for the crack

The German accent wasn't very convincing, though...


You just CAN NOT pronounce German like you were from Bavaria or Austria while telling that you are from Berlin. Sorry, after so many years of US TV and movie theaters I am tired of this fake caveman / Nazi military / Austrian Arnold Schwarzenegger accent that is considered "German".
