Hey everyone,

I know there is already a thread about Alan's lovely tape, but did you know people all over the world are now listening to it?

Well, great, now Alan will never tell me anything again. Aw, he's nice, he'll get over it

I won't mention that he threatened me with bodily harm because I STILL hadn't listened to his tape BUT

Now that I have I love it.

I was a bit surprised that the man talking on the tape had an English accent...

My dog looked very charming tilting his head back and forth listening to Alan...

Then I played and he began howling again.

Do they make ear plugs for dogs?

I would have thought it was obvious that Alan Day is English from his given location shown in his personal details and (more significantly, I feel) his AVATAR !

Samantha

I had never heard about Alan until recently., when we started to interchange mails.

But I absolutely not surpüriosed to find this topic.

Thanks Alan !

From where have giot he word AVATAR ?, Samantha ?

What does it mean ?

If convenient, wite it to me privately, JoachimDelp@aol.de

Avatar: In this case it means the little picture (icon) inder the members' names on the left. Mine is the concertina-playing grotesque from the Canadian Parliament building in Ottawa. You can define your own on yor control panel. Click your name, then find a link on the control panes with the word "avatar" in it and click that.

I believe that what Samantha meant is that anyone who had a good look at Alan's avatar should not be surprised to hear that he speaks with a British accent.

Dave,
thank you for explanation !
Kind regards
Joachim

Aw Samantha,

I was teasing about the accent. I know Alan is in England.

Helen

Besides, my dog loved his accent and his playing. Can't say the same about my playing or maybe it's my accent.

Have you tried putting the accent on a differnt beat?

Ooooo Good thought Jim,

Although I'm still holding out for doggy ear plugs.

Helen

Hi Helen, ask Alan about doggy earplugs. He has half a dozen dogs like me.
I reckon the ear bashing that my lot give me, they deserve me playing to them

Sharron

Super Sharron,

I tease Alan about everything else, I might as well ask more about the dogs.

My cats are fine with the concertina. And my Cocker Spaniel is unimpressed. However the Bichon has always howled after I play for a while. But he LOVES Alan's voice and/or his accent. He NEVER howls when Alan is talking or playing on the tape.

Which is why I was teasing about Alan's accent.

Helen

Now Alan, about those doggy earplugs.

Hallo Helen,
They cry when I play my concertina.Earplugs are sent out with the tape to protect humans as well.
Al
