    I don't want anything for my birthday tomorrow except to sleep in.

    Strike that, I'm handing my mother a wad of cash and telling her to buy a new office mat for her desk and chair.

    So I guess what I want is for her to *not* be a total Krampus on my birthday.

    Mine is today, and my mother gave me a self-help book.

    I want to adopt a better accent in my english

    English is a good language for accents.
    well yeah

    anything on white bread is better than white bread

    well I've got a slight norwegian accent which is yeah, boring

    my slight Swedish accent was deemed to sound pretty good at the last Europax.
    I can't imagine the Norwegian accent is that far off from it. so you should be alright.

    PA people have just said they were disappointed that I didn't have a hilariously thick accent.

    in the army I was actually taught to adopt one over the radio for clarity - roll my r's and everything. Thrree thrree this is Ninerr Thrrrrree.

    which is a very fun way to talk english

    maybe I should go back to that

    I did exactly that after a few drinks in Bristol. It is fun, and I think it's more comfortable than the regular English r sound. It does tend to make some vowels sound a bit exaggerated though.

    But I think it was @smof that said it made me sound slightly Irish, so it can't be that bad.

    I know I've told this story before, but I had a friend who loved Princess Bride but was really disappointed she couldn't find the unabridged version

    It was really hard to break the truth to her

    well it would be entirely fake in my case, unfortunately, since in my dialect we don't have the rolling r, I got the french kind of r

    In talking about my day yesterday and the aforementioned anxiety my wife decided to respond by telling me that it was "dangerous" to ask for other people's opinions of you. It did not go well. She apologized later but...

    To put the icing on the cake, my dad called to ask how I was celebrating. Told him I wasn't, my usual circle friends all work in the city now and aren't around. "So they didn't contact you?" Nope "and no-one from work wants to do something?" Nope. "Well that's a pretty sad way to spend your 24th birthday, at home alone without friends or relative coming over"

    Jeez Dad, I hadn't realised. Maybe that explains why I've spent my evening in the kitchen crying over gallons of tea.

    Just THINK for a moment, for god's sake.

    Milk and biscuits are about as much as you should add to tea and the biscuits are meant to come out and be eaten.

    If they fall in, that's just a disaster.

    They'd make a really great pair, and probably agree on everything. Let's not spend birthdays apart anymore, okay? Last year was way better than this one.

    No.

    one my co-workers (who also happened to be an american) used to put Miracle Whip (mayonnaise, but worse) in his tea

    "it adds a little bit of extra zing to it!"

    my british co-worker saw him do it once and nearly had a heart attack

    Is it possible that your co-worker is actually some sort of other worldly being that is clumsily trying to blend into human society?

    he also liked his steaks well-done to the point of no moisture being left in them, and believed that taco bell made the best mexican food

    it's entirely possible he was some kind of miscalibrated replicant
