Rugby is actually very easy - think continuos NFL but you can't throw forwards, and can't tackle a person who doesn't have the ball. (Before other Brits jump on my case, I'm trying to simplify it to 'others'!!!)
No - we don't all talk like Harry Potter or Bond. We have numerous accents and dialects. Someone from one side of Scotland can sound very different to another Scotsman. Some people speak Gaelic, Welsh and Cornish!)
Okay that is helpful. I will keep that in mind. I know when I communicate with people they think I have a "Southern" accent. I can say living in the most central part of the United States I have no accent what so ever. Our's is pretty flat.
I will have to google a few video's of Rugby and watch them. Understanding the rules may take me some time, however I totally understand our Football in the states, I am still learning Soccer.0 -
Great humor. Really hardworking, at least the ones I've met.0

Basically England is slang and dark humour.... and we like moaning at bus stops...0 -

Lol, I think I need to watch it. I am sure there are a few rules that need to be followed, right? If I make it to England (I also hope to make it to Scotland) I want to be able to watch it without bothering the person next to me to explain it.
I mean nothing like ruining a game. 0 -

I mean I am not opposed to someone explaining it to me, please do not misunderstand. I think if I watch them on You Tube and someone explain them to me while I'm watching them, that would be helpful. Sorry if that past reply came off as rude or mean. Not what I intended. 0 -
As a Brit, I have absolutely no interest in rugby or football. However, those are some mighty fine legs those lads have!

When I see people commenting on how awesome the English accent is, all I can think is they haven't seen shows like misfits.
Is this a real accent? Derby?0 -
