I think of Dys as Waylon Jennings Smile Going out so can't upload a video but they are so similar - and maybe a ZZ Top guy Smile

Oh, and Shewolf - Tina Turner = wow!

@djjd62,
I've met EdgarB, he is probably the poster I most agree with. Oh, except for his silver colloid thing..

That is not his voice, however Will Rogers words may be related to his own thoughts.

Eh, EdgarB just talks usual.

@ossobuco,
I said he did me an honor, not that he was correct.

I think the closest person I can place Izzie to is Hayley Mills. (Of course she sounds much better than that on the phone - sweet voice hers is)

I kind of always thought of Didge as David Doyle (Bosley from Charlie's Angel's). But I can see the Tom Hanks.

Dutchy I always think sounds like Mick Dundee. (not very original I know)

I sometimes do wonder what some of you might actually sound like. I can "hear" Roberta's terrific Bronx voice very clearly in my head, but most of the rest of you are rather a mystery. I would probably be hugely surprised by your various accents! Doesn't everyone sound Australian? Wink

@msolga,
I've met Roberta a few times. She is normal for someone from the Bronx.

@boomerang,
Getting close, boomerang. Smile

But, I think Roberta would be rapid fire, sharp as a tack (meaning very bright & witty in Oz) & warmer. At least that's how I "hear" her. Very Happy

@Rockhead,
I am a big fan of Wallace and Gromit. I do have a touch of Wallace's obsessiveness about things that are completely mundane.

You are correct about Izzie, she talks like Petula Clark. I was surprised to hear the way her young son talks. He sounds 100% American.

I spoke with Deb once briefly, Francis. On a mobile phone, as margo & I sat in a park in Melbourne somewhere, a while ago ..

She actually has a lovely, warm & intelligent sort of voice. (as best I can describe it) Not "proper" & stiff upper lip-ish at all ...

This is exactly what Chai sounds like in my head. Er...maybe just a little more Texas twang.

@msolga,
Roberta didn't snap at me in person, that I remember.

I've met Robbie twice. Once on 3rd avenue with (joan and I'm trying to remember). The other time was at the infamous to us place on 47th. We dined and talked well. I had a certain problem with the check at the end, as the bar had apparently ignored my big dollars in change. (Diane and I went back the next day and they agreed I was right.)

I suppose I'll remember the name tomorrow, a frenchy place in the theater district. Later to be famous for a Frank problem re plotzing. Not to knock Frank. Alas, that place is closed now.

Well, hey, a2kers can be convivial.

Confused

Goodness, osso, I wasn't suggesting she would do that sort of thing!

In Oz speak "sharp as a tack" is a compliment! Meaning: very smart.

I hope that clears this up. Wink

In the US, "sharp as a tack" is also a compliment. It means quick witted and intelligent. Not easily fooled.
