Title: Helllloooooo UK!
Post by: Mangusu on September 25, 2011, 23:17:36
OK, UK - make my day.

I'm pretty excited about visiting the UK for the first time! And most importantly all of you!

It may be a bit of a stereotype but I am a sucker for your accents.

I might as well try to pop in here as much as I can and get to know atleast a handful of people. When it comes down to it, I'm not sure if I know a single UK fur. How lonely ._.

But yeah, trying to come up with routines and events to entertain everyone.

You will find that you will be very welcomed Mangusu and will find it very easy to mingle :) There are some US furs coming along as well, so IM sure you will find at least one person you will know.

You will certainly hear lots of English accents during yoru visit.  What will be amusing is seeing if you can determine the difference between our regional ones.

Looking forward to seeing what dance materials you will have to show us, and working wiht you on some of the up and coming events.

Cheers,

Rizzorat

Oh I love games! I know there are several but I don't know what each region is called.

And chances are, none of them will sound anything like the ones you get in American TV and films!

It should really be the full 'cheers big ears', but because of EU regulations big ears is now offensive to at least four people in the universe so must be outlawed.

Tsk you paint me all to be some sort of impressionist when I'm very much not.

*tips his hat to a fellow 'murrican struggling to keep up with the dry british wit*

Just watch all the 8 or 9 seasons of QI they have on youtube and you'll be all set I suspect... or will you...

try and decipher these: 'lickity split' / 'jiffy' / 'a gander' / 'mums the word' / 'apple and pears' / 'its swings and roundabouts' / 'adam and eve it' / 'alligator' / 'your loaf' / 'bees knees' / ' oh fiddle'

I got most of the original ones (I watch QI) but Iron Bru has me stumped.

I can verify this as the offers in scottish stores allways have Irn Bru instead of coca cola

Argh! Mangusu you trouble maker! Thought I'd slipped out of furdom a few years ago and then I see awesome videos of you dancing as MonsteRoo and now I want to go to my first Con JUST to see you!

Convince me not to!
