Thankyou Elisa, I wasn't sure whether it was skype; I believe there is another one. I should have the information somewhere?

Bob Geldof now Sir Bob Geldof

His work from watching a 3 minute documentary of starving people in Africa.
He got a plane with 40 journalists and took them out to Ethiopia and knew how to get the world's attention by media.

His band was the Boom Town Rats, and he worked endlessly to raise all major pop stars to give up their time and give their performances free. With songs such as Feed the World and Do you Know Its Christmas. Selling the records and giving generous donations.

He got also numerous countries involved in the 1980's to campaign and give money to help, including Turkey. He was on telephone lines all the time to Ambassadors and presidents of states to get as much help as he could for the crisis in Africa. Remarkably he succeeded his goal from every country he approached.

Personally I think he embarrassed countries because, they didn't make any effort to help and just ignored the situation.

Bob Geldof is a Dubliner and pop singer and he took the whole campaign to save hundreds of thousands of starving people in Africa.

Midge Ure another well known pop singer helped Bob Geldof in this work.

Bob Geldof has started again to help with the current crisis situation.

expressed well; Sue

Hi Freshman

There doesn't seem to be any basketball on T.V. nowadays and we have sky T.V. with many channels in England.

I liked it also as I found it very entertaining.

Reality T.V. has taken over as popular television now.
Such as "Big Brother", "Celebrity Love Island," to name a couple. This is the idiom at present.

"Last Rites" with Tom Berenger as a priest from a wealthy maffia family, where a female manipulates him for her
and her boyfriends gain. Interesting ending!

Hi Daydreamer:

I have found that after holidaying in many foreign countries. English is spoken precisely in many countries as they are taught the command of the English language. It sometimes seems very perfect coming from foreigners where we pick up everyday living and slang.

It puts me to shame when I hear foreign people speak it so well. Not that there is anything wrong the way I speak because I think I have quite a good command of the grammatical issues of the English Language.

I can't myself understand many accents in my own country as some of them differentiate from area to area.

Daydreamer: thankyou for your explicit reply. I found it interesting and yes they are on the puppet string of slavonic languages.

I am from the North of England 30 miles north of Newcastle and our accent is very strong being Geordie. Either people like it or loathe it. It is quite unique in England compared to other accents.

I was told in school our accent was similar to the Norwegian language and sure enough I witnessed this from a Norwegian girl talking to someone. I could understand her conversation. Everytime she said something I turned around thinking she was talking to me.

The words we use when speaking broad Geordie are doon for down, gannin for going, oot for out, nivver for never, heyya for have you, ye na for you no, tekkin yi for taking you, alang for along, yill for you'll. There are many more words and also books of Geordie words and also we are noted for the Geordie sense of humour.

Although I do not speak broad Geordie and I use proper word pronouciation it doesn't matter where I go in this country, people will say you're a Geordie.

So despite trying to speak correctly I still have my accent.

Hi Bliss, Thank you I would appreciate your answer through private mail.

Hi Bliss,

I believe Russian, Polish and Yugoslavian is similar to the Russian language. Dobra vecchia, Dobra youtra and dober dan . Yugoslav wasn't too difficult a language as I remember a few years ago. Also a Yugoslav was speaking in Polish as it was a similar language to them.

Please correct me if I am right or not.
