That Manon Rheaume was hot. Not sure if she was English, but she was some kind of weird-talking foreigner.

French Canadian...so...sort of English, but not from the part of Canada that likes the English. I have an English friend. He lives there still. We had drinks with him when we were in London last year. Good dude. Funny as shit. |

I'd say they are more like funny(er) talking wisconsinites. |

I do have an English friend. He's lived in the States long enough to talk mostly American English, but he can turn it on if he needs to. His Father (RIP) was just exactly what you'd want in an older British dude to hang out with over a pint. "Aye....the Bears are Rubbish!". |

It was nice to have had a couple of English classmates. Almost as good as old school NYC professors. |

Our best friend is from England. We were in a bar in Wilmington (IL) once and a guy asks me where she was from. I told him Birmingham and he responded in all sincerity “that don’t sound like no Alabama accent I ever heard.” |
