Thanks all

I think you need to find some Scottish posters to help you! There are one or two around, so hopefully one of them will offer. If you needed a Lancashire, Liverpool or Manchester accent, I could pitch in, but Scottish is beyond my feeble capabilities.

Had a tough night last night, so tired again this morning. Hope everyone's day goes well.

So... you think I will have better luck if I find some Scottish wall hangings?
Thanks I'll keep hoping for them to stop in,
Sorry about hearing the tough night.

Sorry, I can't help much either - but you should be aware that talking about a Scottish accent is like talking about an American one - there's lots of variation. Also what you've got there will probably do fine for a generic representation.

You could try hunting down some discussion boards dealing with Scots dialect - it's not unusual for people to write in the vernacular - Also maybe read some Burns - Worth doing whether you use it or not

*edit* This might help

Well, I figured you lot would have a better chance of knowing an accent from your side of the pond (and I'm not talking Amy). besides, in that regards, I have an advantage you apparently don't. I've lived in a good deal all over my country and can imitate a fair amount of those accents. I realized there are a lot of accents there, I was just hoping against hope.

That translator might help but honestly I didn't want to translate, I'm just writing a story with a bit part character that I decided to make him with a Scottish accent. Thanks for trying though and I'll see what I can make out of that translator.

Now if only I knew who this writer "Burns-Worth" is...

Lol yes, you would have to specify which region of Scotland, Edinburgh and Glasgow are completely different, and geographically not far apart.

I can do Saarf Lunden!

Nothing much to report, feeling very tired. Have to get my butt into gear and do some work.

Crumbs, DM! I mean it's like Ooh-eck! it's just that, Oh Crikey! Saarf Lunden? Is that anywhere near Croyden?

Umm... whichever is easiest to understand??
How about that Scottish village called Brigadoon?

Wouldn't that hurt your butt to put it into a bunch of gears??
I don't see why everyone else should get to do all the poking fun at me.

(hey! "DM" actually works for you! Do you walk around with an eye-patch and a sidekick hamster too? )

Try adding "Ach" (like phlegm) in at the the start of some of the sentences to give it that Scottish feel

"Ach, mah poor wee bairns"

But don't over use it or you'll just sound like you're recovering from a bad chest cold.

Aye laddy, now ya dinna need to point out a thing like that now. Though I admit I thought it was "och" and not "ach."
Thanks for pointing that out.

I think you'll find it's 'laddie', not 'laddy' - don't get your genders mixed up when you're talking to a Dom

 

[Malich]

Depends on the region.

Edinburgh and the highlands where its a bit softer is usually "och" Glasgow and the borders where it's a bit harsher (so they can distinguish themselves from the English) its Ach.

That's another one of those counter-intuitive rules of the English language.
A girl's name is Billie, a guys name is Billy. Thus I'd figure laddy is for a dude and Laddie is for a girl. I mean, there's Lassie and that's a girl too ...right?

I know, I know... it isn't English, it's Scottish, so English rules don't apply.

Apologies Malich.

 

[Malich]

Laddies and Lassies = Lads and Lasses = Men and Women.

*sniggers*

I have a friend who always writes 'oop north' when he's talking to me (he's from East Anglia). I've never said 'oop' in my life

I had a girlfriend from Surrey once and if I ever sent her anything through the post I'd always address it ...Surrey, France. or sometimes just "The Decadent South. Poor girl. She caught the climbing bug from me and I can't think of a worse place in the country for a climber to live....

The wondrous chalk cliffs of Dorking!

Where I'm from, DM is dungeon master/mistress, yeah, I can live with that.

I was going to suggest getting Trainspotting out on dvd, at least Ewan is a genuine scot, none of the Mel Gibson variety accent.
I am also sniggering and thinking of "take the high road"
A very bad, old drama series set in the highlands.

And Robert Carlyle. And Ewen Bremner. But not Jonny Lee Miller

John Hannah?

 

[LallyH]

John Hannah?

Yep - him too

On an unrelated note, really sad to read about Bob Hoskins. He was such a great actor

The JLM comment cracked me up. He currently stars in the US TV series "Elementary" as Sherlock Holmes (21st Century version, with Lucy Liu as Dr. Joan Watson). In a recent episode, he was working on perfecting a Scottish accent.

Only semi-related note: I worked on a community theater production of "Brigadoon" in my teens, in a military community in SW OKlahoma. Only one of our actors could do a passable Scottish accent, so the director decided we wouldn't even try.

Very sad, he was one of my favourite actors.

YOU HAVE TO BE SHITTING ME!

Quoting Winston Churchill Deemed Illegal In Britain

...Weston merely recited Churchill’s words verbatim as part of his address, which included the assertion that “Mohammedanism” is a “militant and proselytizing faith,” and that no “stronger retrograde force exists in the world.”

To be sure, Churchill’s account included a strong criticism of the faith. The response of Hampshire authorities, however, was a clear sign that any such speech will no longer be accepted. According to a local police spokesperson, Weston was arrested “on suspicion of religious/racial harassment.”​

I like the episodes with Rhys Ifans - a Welshman with a perfect upper class English accent!

When a neo-Nazi spouts off about the evils of Islam, he's going to get arrested no matter who he's quoting - and to be honest If Churchill were alive today I expect he'd be just as scathing about the EDL - It's got nothing to do with "Leftism" and everything to do with not letting vermin spout hate speech.

Oops! I've always thought it was laddy. I think I've even written it that way.

Where you are from, DM is also short for Danger Mouse, though I will admit this might be a case of which came first and therefore yours' works best.

Now I've got the Danger Mouse theme running through my head!!

Morning all. Daughter is ill again - she went back to school yesterday but I think, with hindsight, I should have kept her off. She went to bed as soon as she got in yesterday and she's running a temperature again this morning .

Hope we all have a good day.

You're not helping, you know.....*squints*

...I'm sorry, "not helping" what? *halo*

um, do you need help looking for your contacts, Lally??
squinting like that is a horrid strain on the eyes.

Morning all

Friday again, hoping for a restful weekend for everyone!

 

[LWulf]

Good morning Malich.

Summertime is one big weekend for me, but thanks just the same and likewise.

 

[Sweetdaisymae]

Ohh TfI friday!
I am going to curl up on the couch and veg a while

Where are all my UK mates? Why isn't anyone entertaining me?
