It: a show? a play? an effort? any current event? Location relevant? Soldiers were driving you crazy only because their presence? Or did they do anything relevant? | ||

I think I had a similar situation, so I will refrain from solving this, unless it turns out that it's different situation than mine | ||

The relevant thing they did - did they do it to anyone? To each other? As part of the play? Were they bad actors? | ||

They weren't Autons, were they? (on second thought, if they were in a play, guess not, but I just wondered if you could follow this line of thought) | ||

(on second thought, if they were in a play, guess not, but I just wondered if you could follow this line of thought) no And maybe a BLOOOOPER As part of the play? should rather be a Yope than a Yes. They did something that is part of the play, but done differently, it wouldn't have driven me crazy. | ||

"Hannibal" relevant? (guess by me and tortiesibling) Do you mean a play called "Hannibal"? Well, Hannibal is relevant, and the play is called "On the road to Rome" | ||

Were they speaking in a non-Roman/Carthaginian accent? Were they trying to be funny? Or annoying? Were you watching the play? Acting in it? | ||

or was it because they didn't try to suppress their own accents? | ||

Were they German accents? YES! It's time for the ********SPOILER******** On Friday, I went to see "On the Road to Rome" performed by the English Drama group of my old high school. The acting was decent and the plot was alright too, but I couldn't enjoy it because there was one thing that was bothering me: Most of the actors, especially the younger ones, had pretty strong German accents. They sounded absolutely horrible and were driving me crazy ): Nice work everyone, and congrats to Kaylee kitteh for the solve (: | ||

I'm pretty sure I have a German accent too, but it's definitely not that strong. Some years ago, that wouldn't have bothered me too much, but now I watch lots of English/American TV series and I've become pretty sensitive to non-native accents. |
