Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

John! I have no idea what your former post means, but it's good to read you again, no matter in which accent.

Plenty of Yanks playing Brits and doing pretty well. And you know most of those Watcher's Council folks, including Harris Yulin, were American.
Harris Yulin doesn't sound even remotely British to my ears. I had explained him to myself as a Yank addition to the COW.

A lot of Brits trying to do American accents or vice versa seem to get stuck somewhere in the middle of the pond, neither one thing nor the other. And while we're talking about Spike's bad American, that sounds like mock-Somerset to me, with the very extended R and odd vowels.

Heh, I wonder how I may sound (on the rare occasions I get to speak English, that is). I know it's not 'Israeli', and mostly people can't 'place' me. However, they're usually not American/Brits/Australian, but people whose second language is English, so they don't have the trained ears of most of you guys.

Is he the guy who played Quentin Travers? Because me too.
Oh, and I've never heard an American do a remotely credible Australian accent.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Actually, one of the reasons I've seen put forward for England currently being terrible at cricket is that English kids no longer do this, because their parents are too paranoid to let them out of the house.
The only baseball American kids seem to play any more is organized Little League, for the same reasons. Parents want to know where there kids are at all times. In fact if they don't know, the media labels them bad parents.
