I have had quite a few pastings from the PC brigade who can only accept one point of view - their own - as correct. I generally don't bother repsponding to the agressive/insulttng ones which flood in as a result of me simply giving my personal view or opinion on whatever the subject matter is.

The thought police are out there monitoring me as I write this.........

Yes jenna looks a bit down in the dumps and has a sort of monotone accent, but she deserved her chance to speak and laura seemed very full of herself (I knew she wouldn't be fired, although deserved to be). I don't like people who smile during arguments like laura did to jenna. ”

I noticed that and also feel the same as you. I thought Laura was an appalling PM and should've been fired because she obviously picked on the one thing she knew for sure would be noticed - the money spent on materials. It wouldn't surprise me if she deliberately ignored the amount being spent. She certainly likes the sound of her own voice, which for me is starting to sound like a little girl. As for Jenna's voice it's not the accent it's the level of pitch which grates.

Well done you - I'll get used to it, I suppose because I really do enjoy these boards. The wit and perceptive humour is really of a fantastic quality.

I don't mind the disagreement; it's when the other person presumably can't argue persuasively and resorts to name calling. Not always bad enough to get the mods in but just slam, bang aggressive which is right in your face. I say I think Karen could dress more impressively and within a day I'm hateful, vitriolic, sexist, awful and god alone knows how many other things. I think its the narrow mindedness that depresses me, whereas I love a good debate. Oh well

Agreed.

I don't understand why people are so against her.

To those going on about Jenna's accent, I have to say I'm surprised not much has been made of Nick's - he's from Birmingham yet I haven't really seen any negative comments about his accent, which is quite amusing as most people say the Brummie accent is the worst to listen to.

Maybe it's because Nick has not spoken as much as Jenna. To be honest, Nick's accent is fine. Nick does not particularly have a strong Brummie accent.

I agree, I don't think he has that much of the Brummie accent. I just find it interesting as when people meet me, they tend to think I'm from Birmingham whereas I actually have a slight Wulfrunian (think that's the right word) accent.

Jenna's accent doesn't sound too bad to me and I can usually understand her fine.

ie Wolverhampton - I think Wulfrunian is the correct word to use for someone who hails from there/the accent.

I find Jenna's annoying accent quite endearing.

Also, the angry faces she pulls when arguing in the boardroom.

We'll be seeing more of Jenna vs Laura. I can sense that they dislike each other.
