510008 2006-12-28 09:20:00 Well I did record some stories on to tape for my little ones and they still play them at night when they go to bed. When you live at such a distance it is important to keep the contact going....

BTW you should have used the word "existence".... VBG

Bryden
Thanks for the correction, Bryden. :)

Cheers :)

510009 2006-12-28 09:44:00 JamesKan . . . it might be a little hard to understand for an English . :P
Maybe "for an English person . " Or "for an English native . " ;)

I don't know . . . I'd say it like this:

" . . . . . for an English-speaking person" or

" . . . for an English-speaking, native born person"

I don't think a person is really "English" much any more as there seems to be a social distinction now to being "British";

. . . . . . and "English native" sounds like it might be a Druid who hid away for the last few centuries and was just spotted in a cafe in Wandsworth SW-18 .

I think Windows recorder is limited in file size and only records in .wav formats...but I might be wrong as the times I tried it I got tired of it really fast and used Audacity.

Hi R2-D2 (did you watch Star Wars yesterday night?;) ). What I really meant to say was "an English" (that is, someone from UK), and not someone who is able to speak English; otherwise I wouldn't have raise the issue on NZ accent might be hard for someone from UK to comprehend.

Sorry for hijacking this thread, Bryden. Hope you are making good progress there!

Cheers :)

510015 2006-12-28 21:17:00 Gd'day James, Arrgghh - I missed Star Wars last night. I only flick the TV on maybe twice a week, and so I missed the highlight of the year ;)
Calling a person "an English" seems a bit Amish to me ;) Poms is pretty unambiguous to us, but Joe's neighbours would probably be puzzled. Some "English" resent being called Poms, others prefer it. I'm blowed if I know the reason for either attitude, any more than I understand the origin of the word. Maybe it's similar to the dislike some Aucklanders have for being called J-A-F-A-S while others (including me) don't worry.

510016 2006-12-28 21:23:00 I spent 3 years in the UK and found they prefer to refer to themselves and for others to refer to them as Brits. Greg (193)

J@F@ is a negative connotation for Aucklanders, isn't it (just like Irish dislike being called paddy)? On the other hand, don't you call someone from England "English"?

I guess I will stick to "British" then, Greg.

P.S. There is still another episode of Star Wars tonight on TV3 :D

Cheers :)
