But it isn't always about the precise pronunciation, the label of an "accent" can encompass more. It can also subconsciously be about the culture that goes with the language, the acceptable style of communication, all the extras that surround the accent. For example, I am not crazy about Italian accents, but my…

Noooooooooooo. The fancy scarf wrapping thing for men is so over!! Just keep it simple or you look like a total wanker living in 2007. A hilarious friend has dedicated her Facebook page to pix of celebrity men in stupid scarves.

My ex is a lawyer in private banking in a similar country to Switzerland. For ten years he has spent his days telling the executives, traders, employees how what they are doing is highly illegal and reckless. He has gotten fired three times, although he has managed to save each bank hundreds of times by his few small…

Phil Collins has lived in Switzerland for decades,I believe.

I was so transfixed by her horrible makeup I didn't even noticed the eggs on her head. Sigh.

YES. Just freaking RELAX, Madonna. Can you imagine how embarassed her kids must be? So much worse than an uptight mom. Oh wait, she IS an uptight mom, she is holding in all in like ego constipation.

You know, we all knew Madonna was always a total ego-monster and is was ok back then because she was paving ground. But now am so sick of her. Thanks for all the great work and good times, but get the fuck off the stage. There are so many young women who kick ass today, making Madonna's schtick look really dated. I…

She just needs to retire. Come out once every five years and do a tour where people actually get excited because she made herself scarce. Like the Stones. She needs to take a lesson from an icon like Keith Richards and cool the fuck down.

Yeah, but don't you think she gained weight? She was so sinewy before and it freaked a lot of people out. She famously said that she never touched her children's birthday cake. She is certainly muscular but obviously eats something now.

Well, she has decades more experience than them, but I don't see her exerting that much effort here. Did I fall asleep and miss some great dance sequence?

This must be for those rich ladies because I am still trying to get grocery money from my ex.....

She is no way a 6 to 10. No way. Just no way.

Not a couple more pounds heavier. About 30 pounds heavier!!

Yup. In many countries, acupuncture is reimbursed by insurance. And many American supplements are illegal in Europe. Can't even send them privately via the post.

I think signatures should be personalised. I worked at an international corporation and we had five offices in one city alone, not even including the holding company. The address was extremely important! So many meetings got messed up because people went to the wrong office. And email addresses are always practical…

I do "best", but only to people I hate. Really. No warm or kind regards for them, not even a sincerely. This one psycho, non-native English speaker I dread asked me how to end an email. I told her "best" and giggled to myself. Now she uses it all the time. If she had paid my expenses like originally agreed, I would…

Except I write emails and texts in five different languages and changing the dictionary and keyboard ten times a day is just ridiculous.

I kept hearing about The brand from Stateside friends and as Europe has a shortage of yoga gear, was considering carrying it in my store. They said no, they were concentrating on ONLY Australia and London (now I see that's because fully brainwashing employees is more important than expansion). Since then, the bad…

Since I lived for five years in the UK and worked as a journalist for the biggest papers, I don't think need a lesson from you. But thank for the kind thought.

Cracking up. You just have no clue, despite all your reading.
