| "There's a movie on tonight called Fish and Elephant." "Is it on SBS?" "Yes. So it's probably porn." "Fish and Elephant porn?" "Ha ha. You say porn like an English person." "What's the difference?" "It sounds the same as a chess piece." "How else would you say it?" (with an exaggerated Scottish-style rolling R) "PORRRRN!" "I see." "Or, you know, a similar but less exaggerated version of that. Still, with a noticeable 'R'." "Aha." (in the voice of the nautical fellow from the Simpsons) "ARRRR! PORN!" [01:59] |

| That, by the way, is porn phonetically written in Russian Cyrillic. The actual word would require me to use a Russian font, so I doubt it wil show up to many of you: Порнография Mmkay, enough of that. |

| I've often wondered Raven, do you have some sort of regional accent? |

| Some Americans and Australians think I sound Irish, some think Scottish. In actuality I have a mix of northern and central English accents, with a slight hint of Scottish, and with the more vocalised 'R' sound of America (which also sounds somewhat Scottish, but very un-English). |
