Alright, this one is for people speaking with British accent, but the others may feel free to participate sa well. Soon I will have to do a presentation about use of stencil buffer (not that the topic matters). For it will be entirely written in OpenGL, it is going to give a real multimedia feelin` in comparison to other presentations that will mostly go in M$ power point. But I want to do even more. I want to use British accent while presenting it and freak out most of people used to American English. Honestly, I reckon a number of people will be irritated.

My question is related to links to online radio stations where this accent can be heard and as frequently as possible, thus the news channels would be ideal, even if they are looping, say, 3hrs of program.

There is a zillion of stations. Any recommendations?

BBC radio would be the prime candidate.

Good luck with that btw...I never really bothered with trying to emulate a British accent, even though it was heavily promoted by my uni (or any Belgian college really). Some sort of unspecified bland American accent is way easier to get away with.

Gee, that will do excellently. Thanks man. Shame I didn't come to the idea to use BBC. Perhaps it is the aversion to the content they emit.

Eh, I guess that the Slavic/"Russian" accent would rock in any English language area, and so on your uni either. But I wouldn't get away with such an accent, while British is just ok. Jury won't care, but I need it to bug the people who would possibly try to sabotage the presentation.

You're welcome. There's a really interesting interview with Malcolm Gladwell on right now.

Hehe, russian accent for the win

lol well done Ox, precisely what I would have recommended! If you want to be REALLY annoying, imitate Terry Wogan on there... god I hate him. Pratt.

Better yet, copy a Scottish or Yorkshire accent, they won't understand you

Ugh, that wouldn't be the point. I could all-same speak on a modification of my mother tongue and call it eastern Scottish.

Still, don't get me wrong. I want to base my probable distraction of not-good-faith-ed participants only on prejudices towards the British accent, that's all. I don't want to be really undoubtedly a bad guy there. But offer the hungry trolls a thing to hook on and you will spot them immediately.

And to be really, really irritable I can be on every language. It is not the accent but the way you speak. Body language too. Manners. The way one want to turn the world upside down and center it around his ass. However, that's not the stuff I am really used to and it is certainly no-go approach to this matter.

In difference to that, I bet you never heard Italian with Russian accent. I reckon derf will be poked on a thought-two if he reads this.

As a conclusion of my elaborate on stencil buffer, I decided to drop this junk to the Wikipedia:

Although I am the author, I dare calling it gorgeous in comparison to other Wikipedia articles on the same topic. See the interwiki links.

As for the language thing, nobody actually complained. They all were amazed with those slides that move and code that shines in front of their eyes.
