Stupid cat!

Grumpy pants!
Id enjoy parting with my hard earned cash easier if my partner was slightly amused at our pending project. I had a little old nanna reverse in to my car a few months ago, with a little bit more negotiation Im hoping my insurer picks up the bill. That wasn’t as cheap as I thought either. And to top it off my poor washer is about to die. Where is the money fairy when I need her? I guess I now go and do what I do best. Work hard, no social life no fun. Fml .
Enjoy our Never Ending Cat Basket from The Olive Garden.

The Temper Trap - Trembling Hands
From their eponymous 2012 album.
A fantastic single. Dreamy and powerful at the same time.

When I say I love British accents I actually mean BRITISH. Like in Scottish and Irish and so on and on. So I know the freaking difference and I still like those fabulous accents. There.
^THIS. THANK YOU.
I’ve never heard a British accent I haven’t liked, from ANY region.
Also if you want to make that point, everyone referred to my American accent while I was there, yet the U.S. is huge and has many differences even within the same state.
Australia, on the other hand, is relatively consistent. You might encounter differences in the strength of the accent, but it generally stems from the same original manner of speaking (the most noticeable differences, much like elsewhere, usually heard between rural/urban accents).
Except for Adelaide. Those guys talk weird.
Nah, Sydney! I can always pick a Sydney accent.
Luke South Australians are as hot as shit, they can talk however the fuck they want

Obviously the Australians who commented haven’t taken much time to travel around Australia, I have, and I can tell you there is a HUGE range of Aussie accents, not on the order of the brits, but still enough that its possible to guesstimate where someone is from. Hell, you can even tell from what end of Queensland someone is from…
I actually call bullshit on that. I’ve lived in urban South Australia, regional New South Wales, regional Victoria, and regional AND urban Queensland and can say that, for the most part, accents don’t differ that much based on region. I mean, I’ve spotted some differences between SA, VIC and the rest of Australia based on geographic location but nothing really major (not to the point of where you can tell what a state a person is from, let alone what part of Queensland). What DOES seem to happen is sociocultural variation. I’m not a linguist, nor do I feel like googling this, but people from wealthier, more Anglo backgrounds tend to talk like Malcolm Turnball, while those from less well-off, more regional backgrounds speak like bogans. I feel like those are the biggest differences in the country, not location.
WELL, Sorry Sir! Did it cross your mind that you may not have noticed? Or that perhaps the language that you were talking about actually makes up some of what I’m talking about? While I guess I wasn’t talking only about accents, word use definitely comes into how we perceive an accent, I mean you wouldn’t expect an identical vocabulary in someone who speaks the “Queens English” and a bogan from Birdsville, would you? It’s DEFINETLY possible to tell the stronger cockney roots in people who have lived mainly in Queensland and this artifact gets a lot stronger as you go north. Hell, Jon, I can hear it in YOUR voice.
And you “socio-cultural” idea, I call bullshit on that. You have obviously never met a rich farmer’s kid, who can sound as bogan as they come. Bowen has a mainly middle-class demographic, and they ALL sound like bogans, hey, even I’ve even picked up a bit of it.
So go ahead, call your bullshit, just because YOU haven’t noticed it, doesn’t mean others haven’t.
From the Wikipedia page on Australian English:
Sociocultural variation
“According to linguists, Australian English can be divided into three main varieties: broad, general and cultivated.[12] These accents form a continuum that reflects the variations in the Australian accent. They can reflect the social class, education and urban or rural background of speakers, though this cannot be relied on.[13]”
…
Regional variation
“Although relatively homogeneous, some regional variations in Australian English are notable. The dialects of English spoken in the south east of Australia, where majority of the population lives, differs somewhat to that spoken in South Australia, Western Australia and Torres Strait islands. Differences in terms of vocabulary and phonology exist.
Most regional differences come down to word usage. For example, swimming clothes are known as cossies or swimmers in New South Wales, togs in Queensland, and bathers in Victoria and South Australia. The word footy generally refers to the most popular football code in the particular state or territory; that is, rugby league in New South Wales and Queensland, and Australian rules football elsewhere. Beer glasses are also named differently in different states. Distinctive grammatical patterns exist such as the use of the interrogative eh? and the position of the word but at the end of a sentence in Queensland (“But I don’t like him” becomes “I don’t like him but”).
There are some notable regional variations in the pronunciations of certain words. The extent to which the trap‑bath split has taken hold is one example. This phonological development is more advanced in South Australia, which had a different settlement chronology and type than other parts of the country. L-vocalisation is also more common in South Australia than other states. In Western Australian English the vowels in near and square are typically realised as centring diphthongs, whereas in the eastern states they may also be realised as monophthongs.[16] A feature common in Victorian English is salary–celery merger, while in Queensland there is a merger of warrior andworrier, both being pronounced /wariə/-/waria/. There is also regional variation in /uː/ before /l/.”
