My British English is a mish-mash of Ricky Gervais podcasts and Mighty Boosh, so it is most likely to be heavily ridiculed.<br /><br />My favorite English moment: on a trip to London, I spotted a ad campaign featuring a dude who looked a LOT like me. I was having my photo taken in front of the advert when a guy passing by yelled: "Oy!

I own a few games twice, and only Samba De Amigo 3 times ( if you count ver.2000).

Though it sort of just ended abruptly, I'm assuming we'll get a part 2? :) I myself have all 3 region versions of Jet Set/Grind Radio and am thinking of doing a comparison video someday.Barry the Nomadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00793590481970367478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19634944.post-25431406877442097482009-05-18T13:40:00.000+00:002009-05-18T13:40:00.000+00:00Nice comparison.
