For the footy fans amongst you, this had me in stitches. "Ow you say ? I cannot speak a word of ze french, so I is putting on ze accsong". http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/video/2012/nov/26/joey-barton-english-french-accent-videoPuts in perspective how eloquent the foreign players in the english league are when interviewed on UK telly.

Having lived in France for a couple of years it is very easy to articulate yourself in this way when addressing a french audience in English. Humans always adjust their speech to the situation and regional nuances. In Barton's case as a scouser it was probably the best Englaish he has ever spoken.

A convicted violent thug ('tho arguably the nicest member of his family - his brother is still in prison for a racist murder in Liverpool). Joey kicks a football for a living. If he's not entered your consciousness, you haven't missed anything.

Thanks Giles I'm not a round ball follower, it seems to roll too easily and predictably for me so it explains that part of my ignorance. There has to be a place at Chelsea for Tom Daley doesn't there  Honestly thought Joey must be with DecAnt in the Jungle - sad, I know I am

And a lot of the chasers of said spheroid seem to suddenly fall over mortally wounded even when no one is nearby... No offence to followers of said game, but when half the TV channels are taken over 'in season' and match overruns can even push the news timing out, I get a trifle annoyed...
