......from Buffy - which I'm not - apparently he has a band called Ghost of a Robot (or something similar) and apparently he's appearing later this month or next (or soonish anyway) at the Cavern in Liverpool.

Sorry to be so vague but my friend, who has won tickets to see him, was so excited about it she was almost intelligible!

But I just thought I'd let you know incase anyone was interested

Who? What? Which?

Spike= James Marsters from "Buffy the Vampire Slayer". James incidentally isn't British, despite his TV accent-- he's from Orinda, California. He has truly amazing cheekbones, and is a good actor, but his singing can be passed up with no regrets and indeed with a sigh of "Thank GSD I don't have to go through this."

P.S. I have recently been informed, and quite agree, that British accents in young men are attractive to teenage girls. So you may soon see an influx of American teenagers looking for love.

For what it's worth, British accents in older men are attractive to older American women as well. ;-)

Magda- do you own a copy of the DaVinci Code? I need a reference for the challenge...

Not yet, although it was highly recommended by a chap at the bookstore last week. I'd already spent enough that day though.

British accents are attractive - fantastic. How do I go about getting a visa then?

PS - is red (and I mean RED) hair also considered attractive?

btw, I'm not into Spike, but Alison Hannigan (sp?) who plays willow is the only celebrity I have ever fancied. Sad, huh?

PSD, you can get away with RED hair here and still be "charmingly British" if you dress the part...slightly punk, you know, Sid Vicious style...well maybe not quite THAT extreme, but you get my point.

Just hope that your particular town's accent doesn't sound like the "fake Brit" accents people put on here to try to be cool.

Fake Brit accents to try and be cool? How could sounding like Dick van Dyke in Mary Poppins ever be in any way cool? I suppose it makes up for the the fake US accents people have adopted over the years (see every British girl group/singer there ever was).

I would love to have an accent like Julie Andrews has. But I have a feeling it's more of the melodiousness of it, not the accent itself. But it's still lovely!

I'm really bad about picking up accents when I spend any amount of time somewhere. I can't help it. When I moved from Washington State to the DC area, my accent changed significantly. My family still make fun of me and tell me I'm just trying to sound posh...but it's not that at all! And then I used to have a friend from Oklahoma and I ended up with her accent for quite a while.(she had quite the twang)

And my sister-in-law is WAY worse than I am...she has lived all over the country because her dad was in the Navy, but she went to college at this little school in rural North Carolina and has lived in North or South Carolina for the last 8 years...and she has the THICKEST southern accent now...she sounds like Scarlett O'Hara! LOL

Give me a boy with Red hair, an english accent, and cheekbones, and i'd be happy forever.

(as much as i love england, I won't be calling anyone a wanker any time soon)

Apparently the censor is out to lunch at this time.

Talking of fake English accents, did anyone see Elvis Costello on Frasier last night ? An appalling accent of which DvD would be proud ! All he had to do was talk normally ! (Or is it american producers who won't accept a normal English accent because it doesn't sound English enough ?)

Maybe he was extracting the michael somewhat, in an ironic comment on the usual standard of 'English' accents on that show. (Daphne. Daphne's damned brother. Good grief Niles sounds more English than anyone else!).

Or maybe the producers just said 'No Scouse'.

I like Spike, and i think James Marsters sings great in the musical ep, but the Ghost of the Robot stuff I've heard hasn't been that great.

Plus it's a bit freaky - he's 40ish, and the other 3 members are 17/18.

Adam, mebbe it's an American bowdleriser that doesn't understand english swearing.



:--

Do something pretty while you can...

40ish? lol...he's only about 30! but yah, it is strange.

Oh, and I'm with Xavier...well not maybe WITH Xavier in quite the way he meant it, lol, but yes, red hair is just icing on the cake. Now if you were 14, PSD, i would be sooo happy!

Dante, I read that the first time and thought you were talking about Ben... lol...
