        His English tutor in London was an Irishman, and son of James Collins later mentioned that Lenin spoke with Rathmines accent. HG Wells remarked “Irish” accent in general.

        edit: Connolly, not Collins. I accidentally created a Greek myth monster of two Irish politicians.

      One of the things I have spent more time than I should looking for is audio of Lenin speaking English but don’t think such a recording exists.

        Almost… Better Off Ted is a funny TV show, but Better Off Dead is the movie.

        In reference to the OP, a character learns to speak English after watching a show hosted by Howard Cosell who has a very specific voice.

Welcome to /c/Tumblr

All the chaos of Tumblr, without actually going to Tumblr.

Rule 1: Be Civil, Not Cursed

This isn’t your personal call-out post.

  • No harassment, dogpiling, or brigading
  • No bigotry (transphobia, racism, sexism, etc.)
  • Keep it fun and weird, not mean-spirited
Rule 2: No Forbidden Posts

Some things belong in the drafts forever. That means:

  • No spam or scams
  • No porn or sexually explicit content
  • No illegal content (don’t make this a federal case)
  • NSFW screenshots must be properly tagged

If you see a post that breaks the rules, report it so the mods can handle it. Otherwise just reblog and relax.
