So Who can say that they are the same on the internet as they are in real life?

Or

Do you act differently on the internet to escape the person you are in real life or just cos you can get away with been different because no one will know any different?

I dunno, when I first met you I assumed all people from Lincolnshire sounded like that ... but you're just a little ... different ... In a good way of course ;)

Borat, how would you describe my accent?

I speak in jamaican slang with a posh london accent. You have to love it.

I love different accents. If i can understand them anyway lol. Not like these foreigners of preston! Borat at times i couldnt understand him lol

I think Bullett was alot more well spoken then i imagined with someone from Leeds. I was expecting a lil more rough kinda thing.

Now Flock, Woah i could listen to him all day. Love his voice :)

I don't really have an accent. Guess I can sound a bit posh too, but that's just me trying to speak clearly! I can usually go into an accent, but I never picked one up naturally. My brother has a slight west country (Somerset) accent though.

Yeah im pretty much me online, all but sound of me you dont know. Though a couple actually at least 3 know what i sound like.

I sound very young and at times posh! <_< As for my accent... hmmm not to sure about that one!

I certainly know of a few people who are different online than they are in real life.

But for me, I don't see the point. I'm happy with who I am (for the most part) and that means I'm pretty much the person online that I am in real-life.

The only thing missing is my voice, as none of you know what I sound like (unless you remember the Fog Story Audio book that was doing the rounds a few years back).

I act a lot nicer than I am in real life. I find it easier to compliment people and rude things can't just slip out of my mouth.

Ive come across a few people that change completely to who they are online.

Like you get them IRL act so nice (at times) like butter wouldnt melt. Yet when their online and not around its like they dont have a care in the world. Act like a complete get!
