At least, not in this country,' she added after a moment's thought. 'in china it's a little different. once i saw a chinaman in shanghai. his ears were so big he could use them for a raincoat. when it rained, he just crept in under his ears and was warm and snug as could be. not that the ears had such a rattling good time of it, you understand. if it was specially bad weather, he'd invite friends and acquaintances to pitch camp under his ears too. there they sat, singing their sorrowful songs while it poured down outside.

Well, english is no problem for me because i am actually english. my whole family are english; i was brought up listening to various forms of the english accent. obviously there are more specific ones that get a little bit tricky. same with american stuff. but because in australia we're so inundated with american culture, television, this that and the other, everyone in australia can do an american accent. it's just second nature.

People were paid lots of money to make stupid decisions, people in big banks, and when people are paid to be stupid they'll be stupid. the question was, did they know they were being stupid or were they just stupid? i think you need to take it on a case by case basis. there was some sinister activity, but i think by and by it was people being incentivised to do the wrong thing.
