How do you think accents are born? Btw, I deliberately picked those 3 as they all use words either not in the dictionary, or out of place. Why Aye Man..

"'Course I'm British man. You know me. I'm here man. What's good".

What part of the country in particular speaks like that?

The whole of north east London.

Jeremy Paxman and Dizzie Rascal are wasted on Newsnight. Surely they should be in some kind of road movie?

Noooo, they ought to be in a sitcom.

Give it an upbeat 80's theme tune and you've got comedy gold.

Mr. Rascal made me laugh.

The cretin (whoever the hell he is) should be put down and used for land fill, as should anyone else who utters the 'word' "innit"!

Explain why? Please do.

Most hip-hop err...."stars?" irritate me, but for some reason Dizzee Rascal makes me laugh, probably just the voice mind.

Very funny though!

Dinomania · 6 Nov 2008 at 17:06

Was this the same interview as relayed on Radio1 with the phrase "If you believe you can achieve, innit!" ?

I'd buy a T shirt with that on it

Paxman was almost surprised by DR's positivity in a black man making it to PM here.

I think our generation is finally the one which wouldn't give a monkeys what colour he or she is.

I like the way he doesn't take himself too seriously...

Yeah! Dizzee is sound

Vasquez · 6 Nov 2008 at 17:11

So why is Jeremy Paxman asking Dizzie rascal about Obama for?

Surreal

Embarrassing.. Its nice that you think he's not taking himself seriously, I didnt see that, I saw someone struggling to string a sentence together...and as Vasquez asks above... why ask Dizzy Rascal about Obama. Is he more qualified to answer because of his ethnicity.. its ridiculous..

HEADRAT · 6 Nov 2008 at 17:13

I actually thought he was pretty good.

Beerguzzler · 6 Nov 2008 at 17:14

YEA MAN!

Forget how he was standing, or how he says what he says. When you take what he said, it actually has meaning and substance.

What saying "as long as they do right by the people" is substance? It's hardly thinking anything new is it! Not saying I have anything against what he's said or owt, but it certainly doesn't have a profound meaning or incredible substance!

What about 'for sure'? Practically everyone interviewed at the F1 uses that now. :mad:
