All off topic discussions go here. Everything from the funny thing your cat did to your favorite tv shows. Non-programming computer questions are ok too.
Citation from the beginning, as I hear it in english... "Ever hell'd on electric fence? It uhrts. Farm's using electric fences to keep kattel in and faxes out. (...) he get's a shock and runs uh-way. Today, houlding onto dys fence designed to shock hoases,..." It's just too soft accent for me, it's like if you had a hot potato in your throat.
Talking about accents, That sounds like the Red Alert II soviets.
On the other hand I don't even notice that Richard Hammond's speaking with accent. Probably because that's what I grew up with...

Now let me speak my native language... here's the text that has been translated into Slovak:
"Hey, I'm Inflater (well "eenflaiter" pronounced in English). I'm 15 years old. I like computers, programming and a bit of electronics, high voltage the most. I'm studying in the college-prep middle school in Púchov."
And I'm speaking this:
"Nazdar, som inflater (teda "inflejter" v angličtine). Mám 15 rokov. Bavia ma hlavne počítače, programovanie a trocha elektroniky, vysoké napätie. Navštevujem Gymnázium v Púchove."

We have a bit "harder" accent than the russians have. And completely different language.
Hmm, I really didn't notice much of an accent in your speaking, inflater. Then again, the southern U.S. of A. accents stick out at me the most (*cough*dubya*cough*)

That's all come into my mind.
I'm sorry to say this but that sounds gay (no offense)
Well, Hammond is speaking very clear and understandable BrE. If you regularly watch the BBC, you're getting used to a lot worse accents :). Try a good Estuary (London) English, and you're pretty soon lost :).
I agree - I think that Hammond's accent (probably Home Counties) is one of the easiest to pick up English accents (but then, I'm from around there ). I now live in the Westcountry, which is one of the hardest accent to grasp (there are some samples here, along with loads of other british accents). I find that the hardest native British accent of all to understand has to be Glaswegian (for anyone who doesn't know, search around for a clip from Rab C Nesbitt!).
