| 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 . " ;) |

| 510010 | 2006-12-28 16:18:00 | 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 . |

| 510011 | 2006-12-28 18:10:00 | Bryden - keep in mind you don't have to download Audacity or anything. Windows has its own built-in recording application. | Greg (193) | ||

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. |

| 510013 | 2006-12-28 19:02:00 | Well if she's going to do frequent recordings then yeah, would be worth getting it. | Greg (193) | ||
| 510014 | 2006-12-28 21:00:00 | Maybe "for an English person." Or "for an English native." ;) I don't think a person is really "English" much any more as there seems to be a social distinction now to being "British"; 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) | ||

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. 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 :) |
