Tyre is a city, not a rubber device!

I wish I could find that clip from the 2nd or 3rd episode of Band of Brothers where the American soldiers run into 2 Scottish commandos before D-Day.  Perfect example of how funny foreigners speak.

I had a hard time following some of the characters in Train Spotting. Edinborough accents are easier to follow than Glasgow ones, for sure.

Even worse was a TV show by Gregor Fischer (Wikipedia). It was almost unintelligable.

We have a Scot in our office, and Jeebus! he is hard to understand!

My best gibberish contender by far is a former Sgt of mine from when I was in the Air Force - He was a black Geordie with a stutter, we used to call him ‘Chicken George’ (was this from ‘Roots’ the TV series, I don’t remember?)

My own pronounciation is damn near perfect… raspberry
