G'day all! My name is Duncan Ryan, an angst ridden teenage boy from Britain who likes to open conversations with offencive Australian stereotypes. (Just kidding wink )

I have been a Star Wars fan since the age of three when I was enchanted by what I guess must have been the flashing lights of blaster fire but have grown to love every aspect of the mythos. Other interests include films, video games, reading and most of all writing. Looking forward to meeting loads of new and like minded people here. hugs

Hey Duncan happy What teenager isn't angst ridden at some stage happy Yeah, I'm a teenager too by the way.

Since I'm Australian, I probably should be offended I'm not sure tongue But I do like to put on accents from time to time to mock the Australian stereotypes.

Anyways, have fun on the boards happy

hey do you guys ever do american accents to joke around? I try an english accent all the time - not so much to make jokes but rather to just sound cool tongue unfortunately it just sounds like a weird mix between scottish, english, and Australian cry

Hooray! Another teenager! Maybe if we both feel angsty at the same time we can scratch our skin untill it bleeds or maybe dye our hair black for kicks. wink

Hehe, I love taking the micky out of stereotypes too. Never go "Mama Mia!" if asked to stop in an Italian airport though. They make life hell for you. laugh

It depends on which kind of american accent you have in mind. I try to avoid the Ziro the Hutt-style southern drawl because I tend to make a mockery of it but if you mean something along the lines of John Wayne then I'm game! grin

I wanted to dye my hair black sooooooo bad a few years ago. But I'm a ginger so it would have looked hideous.

Yeah, I do. I do a Texas accent and an American country accent.

For my Texas one, I say 'You want a ride in my ve-hickle?' happy

haha laugh It's so crazy because around some of my friends I pick up an accent and use it because they have a heavier accent, but then others I don't even say "ya'll" around them. Idk it's weird.

So that's the Texas accent! I can do that easy thanks to being brought up on Foghorn Leghorn. wink

I'm not good enough in spoken English to use a different accent than the one I have. sad

Not even really in my mother's tongue. blush

I used to find accents hard too, it's all just a matter of practise really. But I'm sure the accent you already have is lovely. grin
