 I'm English. From Manchester. English, Irish, Scottish jokes are fine by me. I think we've moved on. It's 2011 now.

  You're right, Little Frank has a funny accent. Odd accents aren't limited to Manchester - Jimmy Cricket....he's Irish and he's got a funny accent.

 You could say I've 'got balls' [crystal and otherwise]
   
 "Do you really take Crystal Ball gazing seriously?. If so why?"
 
 There are 2 types of Crystal Ball. Those made of 'optical glass'. And those made of 'crystal', the most 'traditional' being Clear Quartz [I've got one of this gemstone]. Different gemstones have different properties and applications. But how that affects the scrying/divining, I'm not sure.
 
 With the glass one, I'm reading up on it, and I'm going to 'experiment a little', to see what happens. If anything. It may just be, like anything to do with the paranormal, New Age, and religion, a matter of 'belief'.

 Thanks DB and Cactus, that's much appreciated. I just wish eveyone was as open-minded
  Re my sense of humour, that's as broad as the Atlantic. Must be my mixed genes [I also have mixed jeans, BTW]. I'm an English-Irish-Scotsman [via India, France, Germany, the USA...]  |  |

 My friends and I make gay jokes at each other all the time; its just 'breaking balls' and I probably carry that in here, and I have a friend who is gay and I even joke around with him the same way and he does the same; so thats just my sense of humour and Im not homophobic.

 London stopped letting in any more Irish around 1956 Cactus - you've no chance.

 I am biased - I think the best accent is the 'Irish Brogue'. And, if it's soft, the 'Scottish' one comes a close second. I would like to live in either country. As I love rain, probably more so in Ireland. I don't mind Irish or Scottish jokes, if you then poke fun at the English!
  My accent, if you could call it one, is 'Home Counties', and sounds really posh on recordings. |  |

 I realised when I was about 13/14. I went to a Comprehensive [1980s], and my friends and I didn't talk about sex at all. [I think it's because we were academically competitive.] Any lad that had a girlfriend [only only of my mates did, though most, I realised, were straight] would get teased about it. Any the same with any girl having a boyfriend. Kids [esp teenagers] could be quite cruel sometimes.
 
 It took a while for me to come to terms with it - I was very shy until my late teens. But when I got to Uni I 'opened up'. That's when I 'lost it', BTW
