[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
Please tell me I'm not the only murrican who ends up with a bit of the Queen's English in the mouth after watching QI segments. It wasn't so hard to talk like myself after the Fry & Laurie bits but this just creeps in and makes me annoying.
ETA: For values of annoying that equal "bad accent which is not one's own".

Heh. I wouldn't know - but it's funny imagining you guys watching QI and talking like Stephen Fry.
I did that once reading Nick Hornby and trying to write my Entourage script. And, because NH and Entourage are both sort of about blokes and their blokeliness, it snuck up on me too. Then the next day, I read back and it was like "Johnny Drama has a cell, not a mobile." I guess I find that contagious.

The Girl uses a lot of American phrases and terms, having partly grown up in Houston. I 'catch' them so easily. Fortunately she doesn't have an American accent. I picked up bits of that after about a week of my year in the US.

I just hope I'm not as horrifying as the American accents in Jeeves and Wooster.

Just as long as you're better than James Marsters.

What do people think of American accents over there? Over here, British accents are generally well regarded.
The issue isn't accents, it's Americans. I once said "why are Americans always such idiots in British TV" He looked at me and said "why does the bad guy always have a british accent?" I said "fair enough"
"why does the bad guy always have a british accent?"
Because Mark Sheppard is awesome!
Spooks is doing its level best to reverse that trend. The CIA (well, okay, most foreigners and pretty much all British government types that aren't MI6) are evil to the core.
