Another photomanip - Brokeback Dwarf

I saw roadstergal's icon and couldn't help myself.



Quality's sort of crummy - if anyone has higher-resolution images of their faces in these poses (or could screencap them for me? *puppy eyes*), I'd love to make them over. But these should be good enough to amuse.

We have an Australian and a New Zealander in the lab - the latter has a much softer accent. I can listen to the Aussie talk all day.

As a Kiwi will tell you, tis best not to confuse the accents. *grins* They tend to get quite riled up =)

But yes ... I find Aussie accents a lot easier to listen to. In saying that, my accent isn't very strong.

I think Paul's accent isn't strong, either. I can understand what he's saying.

*looks around* Hijack!

I like Australian accents, and some British ones, tho I don't know enough about the Brits to know which specific variety it is. (It isn't Cockney, that I know.)

. . . I mean . . . Thread-hijackers! Shame on you! Go back to telling me how awesome I am.

=P

*points* Awesome! ;D

I can hear the differences, but I don't know what the different accents are called, for the most part. Methinks Kahvi is the linguist among us.

Whoops! =)

British accents are a bit hard at times to pick but you can sort of work out which area they're from if you're really good. Which I'm not. A lot of guess work involved ...

Oh, and ...

sailorptah is goodly! Hah!

Well, that goes for me too actually, for the most part. But my British friends have it the same way, so that makes me feel somewhat better. I can recognize Scottish, Cockney, Irish, Welsh, Yorkshire and... Erm... Northern (not the right name), and Scouse of course - but not always. Scouse seems to be pretty rare actually; I always listen for it when I'm in Britain, and don't think I've ever heard it. I'll hear a "werd" or an "æsk", and get really excited, until I realize the intonation is wrong.

*looks around*

I'm just making it worse, aren't I? It's a great manip, really! Made me fret for not having seen the film yet - must do so!
