Thanks **everton**.

I had never realised before that I was such a LINGUISTIC FREAK!

You’re very welcome. Got any other suggestions?

I had a good one for **december** yesterday, but I can’t remember the guy’s name – he’s a US standup/occasional actor whose routine is based on him reaching the end of his tether with increasing frustration. George Costanza will have to do.

Anyone else get a Walter Matthau vibe from **UncleBeer**?

**december’s** posts are good to read in a Dick Dastardly voice.

For **Lieu** , imagine Peter Lorre talking about a prehensile anus.

Since **Sam Stone** was called Conan the Canadian\* I can’t help thinking of his posts being voiced by Arnie.

\*Sorry Sam 🙂

Now that’s strange. Whenever I read Mangetout I always get a Spike Milligan voice. L\_C on the other hand always strikes me as more posh, so either James Robertson Justice or more likely a Terry Thomas sort of voice without the lisp. You can just tell the chap’s an absolute cad, after all.

Oh, and I usually get a Peter Sellers Goon Show era sort of voice from your posts. Especially on the word reindeer.

In confession too, I must point out that I have a bastardized anglo/scots/aussie accent, so really only sound like Billy when I’m swearing. That would be quite often though.

Oh, and for Twistoffate - Sean Hughes.
