Brad Friedel's Mean Tweets

[bomberH]

If there's one thing I learnt from that clip, it's that he avoided the word 'eunuch' as he didn't know how to pronounce it.

I don't know, I've got a pretty sweet Central California Coast accent I've been protecting from my New York surroundings for a decade now. I will definitely go Geordie or Yorkshire or Scouser before I go Long Island. I will make that promise a thousand times over!

Just dont go glaswegian

 

[yojambo]

I really hope he stays at the club in some capacity, class act with no ego.

where in the Central Coast? I lived in Santa Cruz for 14 years.

In which case go Yorkshire, I am a Londoner, who has spent time in that lovely county, you could do worse.

My daughter was born in Santa Clara and has a fairly typical American accent. But through family connections, she has mastered a frighteningly perfect Yorkshire accent which she can switch on and off at any time!

Steve McClaren when he went to manage FC Twente jumps to mind for rapid accent switching, and does anyone remember that Donna Air lass? Thickest Geordie accent, marries some high-profile type and suddenly she's transporting plums around in her face hole.

To be fair, i'd let her transport my plums around in her face hole, so i can forgive her somewhat.

An ex-girlfriend of mine once served her in an off license. She hadn't signed the back of her credit card. (This was pre-chip and pin days.)

I'm from Salinas and have spent a lot of time in Santa Cruz, especially at Logos.

Followed by one of those forced laughs people do when they pretend to get a joke that went over their head.

I remember that place. We used to own Balzac Bistro in Capitola.
Do you miss the smell of Broccoli?!!

Brad has one of those voices that would send me off to sleep within minutes. Very sedate and relaxing. He'd be an ideal candidate for a late night Radio show. Unless you are driving, as you'd end up in the central reservation.

He seems like a real gent to me. Echo the sentiments of keeping him at the club.

I really like listening to Adebayor talk. For some reason his voice makes me happy and I have no idea why! Could listen to him for hours.

44 million blacks in the USA. And they all talk the same.

Ha! This. I work for a company that has offices throughout the States. When people are in town and finally meet me the majority tell me they thought I was "black" based on our phone conversations. I ask them what that means and they get nervous and say I have a deep voice and laid back manner of speech. It's crazy.

Spursking thinks you are "one to watch"

There's no such thing as a British accent... It's either English, Scottish or Welsh... followed by further regionalisations after that.

If wanna get into semantics.

Because yoga is awesome

Hot yoga is fucking diabolical. I need to bring 5 changes of clothes to that shit.

Get it!

Kind of like a British accent is an accent from Great Britain, yes?

Well no, because that's a collection of 4 different countries. It's like saying Belgian's, French and Swiss use a western european accent, or Norwegians, Swedish or Danish use a Scandanavian accent... it's too generic a term to be accurate. You can't say "they have a British accent" because you've got 4 wildly different sounding voices. It's not specific enough. You wouldn't say a European accent to cover any accent from Europe... you wouldn't know where to begin.

Brad doesn't have a British accent, he has an English one. Specifics.

Not semantics, accuracy.

I do love Friedel. I was disappointed when he came in to replace Gomes but do love the fella. Top bloke.

The Jimmy Kimmel Show in the have been doing Celebs Read Mean Tweets for a while. It's really funny.




etc....

How can anyone say anything mean about Zooey?!?!

(GB is an island with three countries)

There's nothing wrong with branding the similarities between how Norwegians, Swedes and Danes speak English as a Scandinavian accent.

You say yourself English accent isn't specific. It is more specific than British, but not specific.

British accent -> English accent -> Cockney accent. An English accent is a British accent. This doesn't mean that a British accent is an English accent, but it works the other way around.

My brother used to live in Capitola so went there many times but we only ever ate at that big café right on the beach. Was that yours? I forget the name. I miss the smell of broccoli, artichokes, strawberries, lettuce, fertilizer, the gas fumes of old El Caminos barely clinging onto life...

What I mostly miss is the ocean. I mean, we have an ocean here in New York, but it's just not the same.
