I don't have an accent, in the East Midlands we don't speak posh like the southerners, rough like the northerners or weird like people either side.
I can hear an East Midlands accent from a mile off. Whenever they interview a Nottinghamian on TV it's noticeable as hell.

I definitely have a Notts accent.

RP is definitely an accent - one that was specifically developed to show wealth and status. Though not even the Monarchy really use it anymore, as it does them a lot more good to sound like they're just normal people.

The generally accepted "non-accent" is Standard English.

I spent about a year learning about accents etc when doing an English Language A-Level.
Huh. Live and learn. Also I think Wikipedia is lying, then. Which isn't a surprise.

Preview pics? What do I owe ya?

I will post pics later when I get home. £10 a pop, and you should feel safe in the knowledge that you're helping to fund more t-shirts in future! They look so good too. Even the white ones look pimp.

Oh and here's a pic about your life:

Pretty much what Phi said. I also did a lot of am dram back in the day so had a nack for accents. When I moved to London I just concentrated on not pronouncing words with a Welsh accent. I tried to go for a more generic English/London accent, but when I stopped thinking about it all the time and just let it be it came out how it came out, this weird ass hybrid that is difficult to place. But at least it's not Welsh.

See, I had assumed that I'd eventually pick up the aceent so I didn't really feel I had to think about it. It would just sorta..happen. However, all I picked up was the slang/local phrases and words.

I remember visiting my friend in S.Korea who was over their teaching english. I noticed he was pronouncing certain words rather strangely like coffee. When I enquired apparently he was meant to pronounce words with an American twang because that's the English they learnt in that school.

Yes, looking back at when I was taught English this was very true for my case. The US TV Shows that predominantly aired on English TV stations abroad didn't help either.

Et tu, John?

Well be safe in the knowledge that amateur hour is over and I'm freshly confident that the next date is going to be the true (much delayed) birth of New Mike.

I have no plan. That's fucking right. Gettin' it together.

I actually feel like the past couple of weeks have been more about me realizing I obviously wasn't ready to date, which I think I'm over now, because all the stupid jitters, nerves and anxiety are gone now that I'm just taking it for what it is - there's a cute girl who is interested to whatever degree, as am I and if it moves forward at all, awesome - we could have a lot of fun together. If not, then I can always chalk it up to experience and see where the year takes me.

Do you have ladies t-shirts? If not I'll just take a small.

Official T-shirt of the next meetup?

Will def post pics when I get home.

No plan is a good plan. A better plan is to plan for erotic situations, awwww yeah! I would guess it's nerve wracking purely because it's something you don't do very often if nothing else. Practice makes perfect!

It's not been THAT long, Jeez.
But yeah... I don't think she's the kind of girl where this is going to lead straight into the bedroom. We shall see.

Think I might have accidentally wooed a Sonic fangirl.

probably not good

haha first thing she'll want to put the Green Hill Zone music on when you're bangin and then she'll get a special Tails buttplug for you and then before you know it you'll be be drawing feeder-porn requests from 4chan and writing Knuckles fanfic.

Sonic has the most perverted fandom for sure. Way worse than MLP. Sonic fans have had time to grow into their perversion.

No, because I know for a fact that her favourite thing to do is draw pictures of Sonic and Amy kissing and I don't want to see that.

hahahahaha... oh yeeeeeeeah! I bet when she draws sonic's willy she draws it like a dog's one.

and I'm sure that is the most fucked up thing I've said on the internet. this year at least

I'll follow this up if it goes further and I struggle to run away. For now, you'll just have to imagine that I'm being turned into a pseudo furry and my fursona will be a crudely drawn hedgehog with a backstory that says Sonic was my best bud in high school.

Of course you do! First thing you want to do when you message her again is to send her a link of the following.

1) Go to deviantart
2) In the search, type your first name and add "the hedgehog" afterwards
3) Find your favorite hedgehog version of it and copy the link
4) Send her the link
5) ???
6) profit!

It seems there is an actual human character with my name in the Sonic universe so here's Mikes instead

Hopefully it'll just get a lot less entertaining.

Shocking twist: This girl you're going about with is a Sonic fangirl too. She blindfolds you, takes you into her room, slowly takes off the blindfold and leaves you to observe the surroundings.

Her wallpaper is Green Hill Zone act 1; she has Sonic 2 bedsheets; her light on the ceiling is covered by a Death Egg ceiling light cover; pictures of Knuckles and Rouge are on the wall, they are horrifying.

You then realise that you are Knuckles and she is Rouge. Together you will look for all of the chaos emeralds and your wedding will be based on a Sonic Heroes theme. Your first dance will be to the Sonic Heroes theme.

As long as you get to yiff to 'Gotta Go Fast' everything is peachy!

What does it say about me that until the last paragraph, I'd be disturbed, but I wouldn't leave the room.

Nah, it'll be like The Office UK, where it's boring for two seasons and everyone tunes in for the specials anyway.

What do the specials refer to?
