+Olham Posted March 15, 2012 Posted March 15, 2012 Hey, she can really give an interview! If I ever had to face a running camera and mike - I'd probably get stuck mute. Quote
RamblingSid Posted March 15, 2012 Posted March 15, 2012 Fame at last ! Love Mrs Widowmakers geordie accent. More seriously: hate to see how the old dart is going. I left the UK in 1981, could tell the way the wind was blowing. Good luck to you and yours, mate. Quote
crl848 Posted March 15, 2012 Posted March 15, 2012 (edited) Nice one Widowmaker. Or should I say Googleiss**ttoss? That's an automatic ** inserted by the message board btw Edited March 15, 2012 by crl848 Quote
Hauksbee Posted March 15, 2012 Posted March 15, 2012 Well done, UKW! Now perhaps you can spin that off into a weekly sit-com! Quote
UK_Widowmaker Posted March 15, 2012 Author Posted March 15, 2012 hahahaha....thanks Guys (she only watched the first five seconds..and refused to watch the rest!...heehee)...she thinks it's awful! Quote
tranquillo Posted March 15, 2012 Posted March 15, 2012 Olham's right, she did well. Not easy facing a microphone. I did it once in a BBC radio studio. I was a bag of nerves. Quote
+Olham Posted March 15, 2012 Posted March 15, 2012 That's like hearing your own voice on the answering machine - you can't imagine you sound like that. Tell her, it's not awful at all - she comes across very competent, and I guess she could really claim her rights from the local politicians. And if it's for the Geordy accent - well, if she comes from there: why should she use another? Quote
Capitaine Vengeur Posted March 15, 2012 Posted March 15, 2012 Fine advert for the business. If I had a dog and lived in or around Newcastle, well, now I know where I would buy my darling's stuff... Quote
UK_Widowmaker Posted March 15, 2012 Author Posted March 15, 2012 My Dear Wife thanks you all for your lovely comments Quote
Herr Prop-Wasche Posted March 15, 2012 Posted March 15, 2012 Hey, not bad for a former civil servant! And the accent is much easier for this Yank to understand than a Cockney one! Quote
33LIMA Posted March 15, 2012 Posted March 15, 2012 (edited) Well done Mrs WM! It's not easy on the other side either, especially if you're complete noob - I had to do some vox pop interviews in my local city centre for a diversity training video and you were really glad when you got someone like Mrs WM you didn't have to feed lines! At least you got to see it; I got nabbed once by a local TV crew for a word on a Peace March, thought I had managed ok (apart from looking at the soundman the odd time, seemed rude just to ignore him) and it was televised but I never saw it. Also apparently I got at least two pics in national dailies while I was doing cordon for the (1993) Shankill bomb scene, all I got from the lads was, 'Hey, your mug was in the papers - again!', and I never saw any of it. Probably just as well. Edited March 15, 2012 by 33LIMA Quote
Bullethead Posted March 15, 2012 Posted March 15, 2012 Is she giving autographs? How many poparazzi are camped out in your yard already? What's the daily bag limit on poparazzi, anyway? Good hunting Quote
UK_Widowmaker Posted March 15, 2012 Author Posted March 15, 2012 hahaha...Yes, thats it now...she's had her 30 seconds of fame!...now it's my turn. (anyone know where my Sniper Rifle is?....I just spotted a useful Bell tower) Quote
Lexx_Luthor Posted March 17, 2012 Posted March 17, 2012 Yea she's great. Nice store there. How's it going? Quote
UK_Widowmaker Posted March 17, 2012 Author Posted March 17, 2012 thanks guys..yes, it's going quite well...I wish I knew how to edit on top of a video like that!...I'd love to replace the wording under her name to say 'Proprietor of Bow-Wow-Pets...instead of 'Former Civil Servant!! Quote
