At the polls yet again in the UK.
Good thing you are old enough to vote, eh? I find it so weird that your British prime minister has such interesting hair (similar to another politician, but we are not allowed to discuss this type of thing)

I think we better send Sundrop over there to teach them how to do hair!
:teapot:
p.s. I know you are a Scot, so perhaps I should have said "UK" rather than "your"
:redface-new:

Yeah, not talking about politics I know, just saying that it's annoying. I thought that the turn out was going to be low but apparently it's going to be really good. Anyway, yeah, you're right about the UK, I just say the UK, because whenever I say I'm from Scotland, most think that is a town in Connecticut! :)

I have a bad habit of picking up the accent of whomever I am speaking with. My co-worker has a heavy Russian accent. :hopelessness:
I work with a Filipino woman whose English is very poor and I also find this is affecting the way I talk. She leaves out the letter s when it is needed and adds it when it isn't. She says things like "lottery lotto" and other redundant phrases. She will say the basic verb and forget to add the -ed or -ing ending. She says "can you able to come" and mispronounces half her words. She is the only other employee in my immediate work area and I see her 40 hours a week. I try to practise my speech at home by reading out loud.

Don't want to start a war or anything but ... Star Trek or Star Wars?

We had this question in another thread a while ago.
