I need some help, ive been trying to develop a sharp british accent but im finding it quite hard, not knowing many britains, do you know any good websites, that offer help for free?
I'm guessing you're American. The thing is, there's no such thing as a "British accent" - there are regional English, Irish, Scots and Welsh accents, and they're all very different. There's no generic British accent, and I'm not sure what you mean by "sharp" - perhaps RP (Received Pronunciation)? If it's an upper class English accent you're after, try searching for RP on the net.

This is an indepth account of the Chinese Imperial Maritime Customs Service, a uniquely cosmopolitan institution established in the wake of Chinas defeat in the Opium Wars (1842 to 43), and a central feature of the Treaty Port system.The Britishdominated service was headed by the famous Robert Hart who founded a farreaching customs administration that also encompassed other responsibilities such as marine and harbour maintenance, quarantine, antipiracy patrols and postal services. This institution sat at a crucial juncture between Chinese and foreign interests, and was intimately linked to British interests and fortunes in the Far East. Following the establishment of the Republic in 1911 there were grave misgivings as to whether the foreign element of the Service would survive. Yet the Service grew in influence and strength, ensuring the foreign inspectorate a continued role in Chinas affairs. Delivering an overview of the Service, its bureaucracy, fiscal responsibilities and life for foreigners in its employ, focusing especially on the later years of the Service, Donna Brunero draws on the experiences of the foreign administration of the Service as it attempted to negotiate between Chinese and foreign expectations and interests.

The familiar image of the British in the Second World War is that of the plucky underdog taking on German might. David Edgertons bold, compelling new history shows the conflict in a new light, with Britain as a very wealthy country, formidable in arms, ruthless in pursuit of its interests, and in command of a global production system. Rather than belittled by a Nazi behemoth, Britain arguably had the worlds most advanced mechanized forces. It had not only a great empire, but allies large and small. Edgerton shows that Britain fought on many fronts and its many home fronts kept it exceptionally well supplied with weapons, food and oil, allowing it to mobilize to an extraordinary extent. It created and deployed a vast empire of machines, from the humble tramp steamer to the battleship, from the rifle to the tank, made in colossal factories the world over. Scientists and engineers invented new weapons, encouraged by a government and prime minister enthusiastic about the latest technologies. The British,indeed Churchillian, vision of war and modernity was challenged by repeated defeat at the hands of less wellequipped enemies. Yet the end result was a vindication of this vision. Like the United States, a powerful Britain won a cheap victory, while others paid a great price. Putting resources, machines and experts at the heart of a global rather than merely imperial story, Britains War Machine demolishes timeworn myths about wartime Britain and gives us a groundbreaking and often unsettling picture ofa great power in action Author: Edgerton, David Subtitle: Weapons, Resources, and Experts in the Second World War Publication Date: 2011/09/09 Number of Pages: 445 Binding Type: Hardcover Language: English Depth: 1.75 Width: 6.00 Height: 9.00

This book examines Frances choice in the early 1900s to replace its official colonial policy of assimilation with one of association. Why did France exchange an ideology rooted both in its Latin heritage and in its revolutionary past with one espoused by its colonial rival, Great Britain? This book attempts to answer that question by a case study in West Africa: it demonstrates how the French colony of Sngal came to be administered like a British colony, in particular the Gambia. In doing so, it shows that the implementation of indirect rule in 1854 and the creation of a protectorate in 1890 by French colonial administrators in Sngal contributed to the National Assemblys decisions in 1895 and 1897 to officially adopt decentralization as Frances new colonial policy.

I watched Britain's toughest seaside resorts last week and It was shameful, all these pathetic blokes in their 50's and 60's boasting about how they beat up visitors to the towns, one bloke from Rhyl was an absolute psychopath, it's all he lived for.
I'm not sure why Jake is being such a killjoy, get over yourself.
As for what we say, we usually say things like "Dude, you're such a douchebag", for valley girls it's, "like oh my god" and that kinda thing.
Mook's right as well, we do that when we're being cowboys.
We also imitate George W. Bush
