Includes a quick primer on How to Speak Beeb.

(Prior to the Astrid-styled hairplugs. Apparently.)

I, even as a U.S. east coast native, got a big kick out of this. Thank you.

Mutha Fuhhh!
The Oxford production of Good Cop("Superfluous")-Bad Cop("Hyperbole"). Chess for The Literary! The Amplitude Of Alphabets and back again! How I was a seed watching itself grow. Then the branches grew farther than I'd ever imagined. And the cycle started to repeat and I realized that I wanted to be the new seed...the future. If you are going to colonize everything, you will need lots of stuff. You'll need to invent the Greater Good, and a righteous cause, and a form of doublespeak that is more clever than any other known skill. You will create your own dictionary to go with it. And ALL of that is just the beginning. Because, I'm not a man of the world. I don't know all of the faces I see in a day. BUT, the ones I have seen before are never forgotten. So, at the first images of this video, I instantly recognised the guy with the feral eyebrows! It's Lord Reith's avatar/icon. So, I am relieved to discover that Lord Reith was vehently opposed to the accepted Educated Eastern Oxford Accent...with NO 'R'...Scotch, huh?
This guy was probably a major voice in allowing Rock and Roll to exist in any form. So, I won't embrace the temptation to ponder his influence on pre-Beatles society!
The first, the last, the one, the only, The Good and The Great!
The City Of London?
It's in London!
Have you been there?
STOP RIGHT THERE!
Turn around, go back...
(to the Beatles).
Sovereign, again!
Ahhhh!

Edit: Thank you, rtbcIII! Very nice artifact.

I don't know who this person is, but he is clearly a lot older than me. I have great hair.
