I would like to point out that although I am a soft southern git, I always pronounce bastard with soft northern vowels because it just sounds better that way. How strange! I'm a hard northern bastard, and I often use the long 'a' sound. But not always.

oo, another one. i call taxi drivers drive.But that is THE LAW. It's short for 'driver' I say 'very exciting' in a Welsh accent, when something's, erm, very exciting. Someone did it on TV once, somewhere, and me and my mate Phil nicked it. But I've no idea where it's from. I was only about 15... That's another Izzard-ism- Welsh Pavlov "Rung two bells. Dog ate whole bunch of food and my leg too. Very exciting"

I'm always saying 'good grief' and 'randomly' as in he/she/it just randomly ( whatever they randomly did). I do the really thing too ...

girls are darl or doll or lovely.Yep, you've called me all of them! I use the short 'a's all the time, despite having lived in the South all my life. I think it's cos my Mum is from Nottingham and Dad America so they both speak like that. I don't have a Northern accent in otehr ways though. In fact I have no idea what accent I have, it's a bit of a mess really. Jessica

Phrases:
"...which was amusing."
"To be fair..."
"No, really."
But then I have plenty of random phrases which only a few of my mates understand. We say them to each other in conversation, and nobody else has a clue what we're on about.
I would say them here, but you wouldn't have a clue what I was on about.
No, really.

Minimula is your signature quote from Friends? I am an occasional viewer and I saw a bit of that episode last night and thought 'Now where have I heard that before?'

I am told (by my ignorant Southern friends) that I say "Nooooooooo" in my charming Northern accent quite often.
I also overuse: Kerbuckle (falling over/something breaking), Shocka, C*nt (should be stopped, I know), Pure, Raz (drinking session/alcohol in general), Bait (East London-ism for well obvious).
I also tend to make up words by adding 'age' on the end. Classics include; scrapage, splashage, burnage...

Well done, Jessica. It is from Friends. It's Ross who says it - very grammatically precise and very funny.
Lots of my friends do that too, Lalas. Adding '-age' to the ends of various words is quite a common pastime round here.
Oh, and I remembered another thing I do too often: Slip into French or German for no apparent reason during a sentence.

She keeps saying "Bonne douche", which I think means good shower. I just shouted c*nt down the stairs cos I missed the S Club documentary, again.
