How long you got??
Theres a chick at work who's carrying twins. She is only 7 months and looks massive! poor thing. NO morning sickness tho- none the whole time.
Yet the US accent can be imitiated pretty well. Never thought Christian Bale was a Brit after first seeing American Psycho and Batman Begins
10 days til my due date. I feel like Gilbert Grape’s mum.

We do if you are house bound, elderly, blind or can't get to the library for other reasons

The generic US accent is pretty easy to do, trying to do other US accents like a Southern accent is harder to do.
When I was in Virginia which is mostly the South surprisingly, you learn to say "Hey" or '"How y'all doin'" as a greeting and '"Appreciate it" for thanks.
There's a Seinfeld episode in the making based on this premise!
That’s awesome! I’m not housebound, just big and lazy.

Re: the conversation about accents, I highly recommend this video and all the other ones he's done for Wired. Guy obviously knows his stuff and is quite entertaining

Love that guy and his videos. The 20 or so minutes each video go for just fly by.
I looooove my local library.

The appeal of 'The Young Ones'......Sorry, I just don't get it.....Rated it as pure trash, right from the get-go, along-side of The Goodies.
It took all of 5 minutes for the stereo-typed characters to just grate on me.....After that it was Oh so predictable & I was Oh so over it.
Manufactured twaddle, dressed up as alternative realism.

Maybe it's because you're a bit older than me. I was in my early teens when it came on and the slapstick humour made me p*** myself, I was introduced to some great bands that I never would have found through my folks, and the my nascent interest politics meant that a lot of it also made my ears prick up and want to learn a little more. Some would argue my politics haven't moved on much from there.
Im older than both of you and I loved it
It was pretty unique for its time

Probably checking if phone numbers on the database are active for on-sale/future use .
I think some make money by getting you to call back on a missed call ???

It was most definitely unique....And God knows I tried to like it.....I liked the premise, but it stunk in it's style & delivery.
It's one of the things Ben Elton did that I didn't like....His late-night show was putrid.
Perhaps it was the influence of Alexei Sayle, whose stuff I never liked; & Rick Mayall.
Then you get Blackadder with Rowan Atkinson & Richard Curtis as collaborators....We're talking finely polished craftsmanship there.
I'm lazy. Surely that counts as "other reasons".
