Regina is # 1 - and here I thought those Roughrider fans were all a bunch of farmers! (outstanding in their field)

Wow....you must be the exception. All my relatives from St. Johns said it like that...I did too but it was a little milder lol. When I get in with my newfie friends I tend to say me instead of my. I like the accent though. I have not lost it not wish to except for a few words here and there. It sounds lovely. I like the sorta Irish accent from St. Johns and the Irish coast.
