Did Oscar Wilde speak with an irish or english accent?
 

This might seem like a rather stupid thread but a friend's dad inspired me to make it.That i know,Wilde used to speak with a similar accent to his interlocutor because he was a tart.Mick Jagger is known to do that too and Warhol always came accross as another one.

Laila, how did you get porky's password?

I think he sounded a bit like Graham Norton.

Well,Frankie and i agree that he lived in England for quite a while and he also happened to be a unique person.I have the answer for this but i was trying to stimulate debate.

gayest thread...what's the point?

Gay,there's your point.

that's why i stopped mid-sentence.

irish upper class dubliner accent. kinda well spoken but able to relate to the working class. tendency to use the word fuck a lot in conversation.

why would he speak with an english accent?

Oscar himself remarked that the first thing he forgot when he went to Oxford was his Irish accent.

i think he sounded exactly like steven fry.

thats cuz no one would have taken him seriously!!!!

Yeah, same here. Everyone intelligent does.

anyone hear really like the q.i. quiz show on bbc or uktv or some channel?

^^^ in father ted mode tho^^^^^

I watch it all the time. Alan Davis rules.

When they were talking about the shape of raindrops yesterday, they should really have mentioned rainbows, as rainbows are proof of a raindrop's spherical nature. And is anyone wants to see a lead shot tower, there's one still standing in Chester.

Alan didn't lose last night.

No. Ms Ancona was rather good, wasn't she? Unlike Bremner. But intellectually, it's Rory McGrath who's the real star when he's on. i hope they get him on this series, because he was incredible.

Did Oscar Wilde wear green tights, and run around his garden with a bow and arrow? :rolleyes:
