Believe me when I selected the name Sarrasine and was informed this would be acceptable Dave pointed out that he would shorten the name to "SARS" I just added the I to make it Sarsi- then again a lot of cat nicknames have nothing to do with the cats original name- One of Sarsi's nicknames is "Really" since when she was a kitten Dave and sometimes me would stand in the wreckage of her latest punk cat moment and say "She's a good cat....really" Lesley Slave of the Fabulous Furballs |

It's an international radio call-in talk show from the BBC. The main host is a guy, Ros Atkins, but sometimes there's a stand-in host, Chloe Tilley. Every time I hear her voice, I think, "I'll bet that's what Lesley from RPCA sounds like." Don't ask me where I get that idea! Am I anywhere near right? And what would you call her accent? Dave;s Scottish accent is diluted from so many years living in London (I sometimes have problems understanding what his mother is saying and I don;t just mean her accent! :-) ) but once he got talking to a guy from Glasgow with such a thick accent it took me 15 minutes to realise his name was Hugh (they say Hughie rather than Hugh and seem to stick an S on the front and then emphaize the "Shu" sound to the point where it sounds like projectile vomitting "SHUUUUEEY being about the nearest I can get the sound) and after a few minutes of talking to him Dave started to re-accquire a Glasgow accent....

Don't ask me where I get that idea! I must admit I have never heard it I'll try to look out for it Then again I have a feeling my accent such as it is wouldn't get on the BBC- these days there's a lot of acceptance of regional accents as opposed to what they used to have and my accent such as it is falls between the two stools- btw I am also told I have a sexy blonde voice over the phone and I am not blonde Lesley Slave of the Fabulous Furballs |

Our cat's name is Woodgie. She gets this name from my daughter who climed it
was what you said when you rubbed a bitty. I didn't believe her until I saw a little vidfeo on You Tube where a girl picked up a kitten and , by God, said "Woodgie, wooodgie, woodgie." I, BTW, don't generally have an accent, but after I visit my family back in Louisvbille KY, I tawk funnee for a while.... -- ^..^ Kathy P. Woodgie's Gramma |
