Disappearing Accent

Matt Lucas as "the artist formally known as Prince" or "the symbol" or "Prince".

Wohoo! Today means that I only have one more week of working 3 days per week, and then its back to the norm. Which is good news, though I have to wonder what I'll do with the regained spare day of no work... I'm finding it difficult enough to fill 2 free days a week at the moment, let alone adding a third. But in no way am I complaining, oh no - I'm far to lucky for that malarkey.

Work is fine and we have a new contractor starting with us today, who's name is Dino and from first appearances is very italian. Olive skin, dark hair... you know, a bit of eye candi for a Friday. He's also got a very strong Italian accent and takes his coffee black with 3 sugars.

Anyway, the reason I mention this is that up until about 2pm Dino is merrily chatting away with his I-talian twang, but amazingly by the time I've gone to make a coffee and come back all traces of said accent have disappeared! He now sounds like an Essex Wide-Boy which is most odd! Maybe he's got a split personality or something, who knows! :)

I do have to go into town at Lunch and pick up some bits we need for our treasure hunt expedition tomorrow (a clip board and stuff) and whilst I'm there I notice that Matt Lucas and David Walliams (the bods who brought us Little Britain) have released Rock Profiles, one of their earlier comedy programs. So since I like Little Britain, I pick up a copy of Rock Profiles too.

The afternoon at work goes fine (apart from me wondering what Dino's next accent will mutate into) and I spend plenty of time playing with animated graphics and the like. So nothing too tedious for a Friday afternoon.

Back home and we have home made curry for tea (which I'd prepared yesterday) and I watch Rock Profiles, which is quite funny, but no where near the standard of Little Britain.
