Hello from L.A.

[JWiPhone]

I guess it is time I introduce myself. LOL.

I joined EIC in September of 2007. I think then it was known as Everything iPhone. I joined mainly to learn about the iPhone since I planned to purchase it in the near future. I live in an area of Los Angeles known as Westwood and home to the UCLA Bruins. I work for UCLA also. In June of this year I bought my very first iPhone and absolutely love it. I use it for everything, including jogging, gaming, groceries, stock/option trading, emailing, surfing the internet, and photography.

I also recently bought a new MacBook Pro which is my very first venture into the world of Apple computers. I'm really impressed with the OS X after using the PC and Windows for my entire computing life. I can't get over how fast and stable this system is.

I have met some really wonderful people on this forum, very knowledgable and kind. Thanks to Chris for making it all possible. By the way my name is James..and now I'm a 'genius' with this post. Yessssss!!!

Nice intro dude.

Glad to have you on here.

Welcome aboard. I saw the author and thought, "isn't he already a member?"

:)

Thanks iPhoneWarrior, appreciate your warm welcome.

Evolution83..yes very true..I never properly introduced myself all this time though. I thought my 1000th post would be a good time to do it. lol

[iphonewarrior]

You've been here longer than me... it should be the other way round ;)

Your a good edition to EiC in my books.

Thanks iPhoneWarrior. You have far more posts than me though. You have been a busy man on this forum. I work with some people from the UK, as L.A. has their own British community and even pubs in the Santa Monica area. They are really nice 'blokes'. It is always a pleasure to meet British.

I wanna visit the UK and become "British" :)

I'd love to pick up an accent.

What sort of English accent are you talking about. For a reasonably small country, we have that many accents it's unbelievable.

For example, I have a Manchester accent, 40 minutes north, south, east and west on the motorway it's completely different- Seriously different.

I do too!
I've never even been to England. But I think about moving there all the time. I've even had dreams that I did it.

[Napoleon_PhoneApart]

I'd love to visit again, especially Witney, Oxon. where I first went to school.

[JWiPhone]

I would like the Brummie accent. That way I could speak and no one would be able to understand me, ie. Ozzie Osbourne. LOL

What's the obsession with England?

Do you have a burning desire to return to the UK.. perhaps an old flame?

You my friend have issues. If you think 'Brummie' (for those that don't know, it's a Birmingham accent) is hard to understand then you have another thing coming. There is a Newcastle/Sunderland accent which is difficult as they speak very very quickly. Then there is a Scouse (Liverpool) accent, which is sort of difficult to understand if they don't take there time when they speak. Then there's ****ney (London), ****ney accents aren't hard to understand but it's the abbreviations they use- they will say something completely different as to what they mean. It's confusing, but luckily, in my job I work with all these different accent's on a day to day basis and I understand them all (to a certain point ;) like when i'm drunk, no one can understand me).
:ok:ok

I'd love to learn an English, Scottish, and a few others. I find them really interesting.

I've never been to England either, but I'd love to visit. I have a few friends who go up there every so often.

Americans have always held a fascination with England and the UK. We view you as our cousins, so much alike and yet there are these subtle differences that makes it interesting. You have to be an American to truly appreciate how the English accent sounds to our ears. It is really elegant sounding. American women especially like it. Then there is the rich history with Kings, Queens, Knights that gives Britain an aura of romance, not to mention the contributions to music, literature, and films.

[iphonewarrior]

Well, I now live in Manchester, but I was actually born in Scotland. So I'm the best of both worlds. I work in Scotland a lot to. So my accent sort of changes to accommodate my environment.

England is poo. All we have is History and asylum seekers(a bit stern I know, but it's the truth).

I had a transfer from the UK at my last job. After a while I'd hang and talk with him a bit. His accent rubbed off on me and I was able to pick it up and imitate it fairly well, although I'm sure it's not perfect.

I get a lot of callers from Australia and the UK; it's always a pleasure to talk with them because they're so calm compared to Americans.
