Kali has a very upper class British accent. Once you get to Edinburgh, that's what's considered an upper class Scottish accent, but if you meet someone from Aberdeen, Dundee, and almost definately Glasgow, you might struggle.
Also, I have Irn Bru, it's better than Beer. You should try it when your in the UK. 24 cans cost me $35. It's ridiculous, you can get it for about 30p a can in Scotland (not sure if the price is as low in England, but it's definately lower than $1.65 a can individually. My friends keep taking the **** out of me 'cause they can get 24 cans for less than $10
Edit: I haven't ever heard Kate Middleton talk, but it's definitely not Cheryl Cole. That's a Geordie (Newcastle) accent, and it's probably the most annoying one in the UK.

Someone speaking fast with a thick Scottish accent will make just about anything else easy to understand in comparison.

Nah, it's kind of a rectangle versus square thing. If you're poly you're probably a ****, but if you're a **** you aren't necessarily poly. :D
I'm still a novice though. I've only got two active partners atm. I've got a friend who currently has five active partners... I wanna be one of them too, but he's too busy. -_- Stupid grad school...
Also, there's this whole weird poly vs. open relationship vs. swinger thing going on. Different people call their relationship different things, even if they treat it the same. I consider the poly aspect to be more serious relationships, although I do have casual sexual relationships as well, which I consider to be more of an open relationship condition. Although those casual relationships are usually with friends, so they aren't SUPER casual. The boyfriend that lives an hour and a half from me, poor guy can't do casual at all. He's one of those weird males who can't separate sex from emotions. I'm starting to think my live in boyfriend might have that issue too. Currently he just doesn't want casual relationships, he might be capable of them at some point.
Anyways, it's complicated but it's fun.

ITT: I'm turned on and off at the same time.
I think I'm too possessive to do poly in more than a friends with benefits kind of way. If I had a girlfriend, I'd probably not want her to ***** around (literally). It wouldn't be healthy for the other guy.
When I said I was all for it, I was obviously referring to a ménage à trois with Kate Beckinsale.

Oh yeah, my English accent isn't perfect.
But Edinburgh is just pronounced weirdly, anyway. If you say it fast, it sounds the same as saying Inverness fast, minus the -ness. It's like all the places up there sound the same. Which doesn't even make sense.
As far as describing my accent goes, it's pretty much Estuary English with a bit of German in there.
And I do remember when I couldn't understand British accents, either. Still can't understand some (like proper Scouse, ugh). It gets better after a little while.
Brisin's English is really good, though!

Yeah, poly isn't for everybody. But, I used to think that way too. It wasn't until I heard of poly and tried it, that I realized it was for me.
Everyone has jealousy issues to some extent, the way to work around that is to try to examine WHY you feel jealous. Most monogamous people feel jealous when their partner cheats on them because A. They're afraid of losing that partner, and B. They feel betrayed because their partner wasn't honest with them. Poly takes away both of those issues. If you know that your partner isn't going to leave you just because they found another person they're interested in, they talk to you about it before anything happens, and all your needs are being met, what is there to be jealous of?
It's something to consider at least. I definitely get that poly isn't for everyone though. I have a few friends who can't handle it. One of them is okay if their partner screws around in a casual way, as long as he doesn't fall in love with someone else. She can't bring herself to do anything with anyone else though.

I can't even begin to tell you how much I despise texans and their accent. I love me a good southern drawl but christ, that sh*t is like nails on a chalk board for me. Yeah I might draw out my o's and sh*t cause I'm from the upper midwest but at least what I say you can understand.
German accent = incredibly sexy. If I weren't married I'd be in Germany in the next few years hunting me down one of them ole lady german freaks.
Edit: I almost got my wife to fool around with one of her friends while the husbands watched. Even though it didn't happen I at least got to see my wife's two best friends topless.
Mission accomplished.
Btw, poly = hot.

Yeah, the reason it didn't work out in my relationship is that you seem to need some amount of self-esteem to not fall into the "Am I not enough for him/her?" pit. Or something. I would never ask that question because I approach stuff like that differently.
This is making me regret losing so much of my German accent, at least a bit. If I move to Scotland or Ireland in the summer, it's only gonna get more confusing!
And Rio, you sound more Scottish than my friend at St Andrews, he only does if he's tired or drunk. And if you're not a complete stranger. But even then, you sound much more Scottish.

When I moved back to Europe after living in America, I was mistaken for a Texan by some random Irish lady. That's when the Britishising began!

Wow... yeah that would be an awkward situation to be in. If things end up going in that direction with my two boyfriends, I don't think I would really care who the father of my child was. And it would probably be hard to tell without a DNA test. Unless the kid ended up having green eyes. >.> I've got blue eyes, my live in boyfriend has brown and my LD boyfriend has green. Other than eye color they have very similar features.
It's funny, I never used to think I had a physical type until about two months ago, when I noticed that I kind of do. Could just be a coincidence, but since I started dating my live in boyfriend 3.5 years ago, all the guys I've been interested in except for one have looked similar to him. Tall, with brown hair and a goatee. And all of them have or had long hair when I met them. Sadly my live in boyfriend doesn't, because he's mean and won't grow his hair out.

In America, we'd pronounce "Edinburgh" as "Ed in berg," lol.
I just googled scouse... and I'm positive that isn't English. No way--impossible. They're just making noises--it's impossible that anyone understands them!

I don't think it's a jealousy issue. More like a sentimental, romantic belief in true love and all that ****. Can definitely see the benefit of having multiple sexual partners, but boy-/girlfriends even? That's a bit too... Mormon for me.

It's not English Digg. IIRC from my History of the English Language class, the "-burgh" town names are actually Celtic, hence why they are pronounced nothing like how they're spelled. Hell, Samhain is pronounced "sow-ain."
@ Maz: I get that, and I can't say I blame you for wanting to hang on to that ideal. I'm still a huge romantic, I just don't think the whole "one true love" thing is realistic. How is one person going to fulfill all of your needs? Take my live in bf for example... He's a great guy, treats me right, we have a lot of interests in common, and I love the guy. But when it comes to kink and sex, we're really not that compatible. I'm a very sexual person, so that's a bone of contention in our relationship. Him, he likes sex but it's not a huge deal to him. My ld bf, honestly we haven't been together long enough for me to see what kind of issues we have. But so far, he's really awesome and we also have a lot of stuff in common (different stuff though), and we're kink and sex compatible. It's nice having some balance. :-)
As far as the whole Mormon thing goes, that's totally different. =x That's marriage, for one. And in every example I've seen, there's a guy married to multiple women, most of which stay at home and take care of the many children and the house. That's not equality by any stretch of the mind. I wouldn't mind being in a situation where one of my partners had other women and we all lived together, as long as everyone was equal.

That's why it's the 'one true love'. The one person that fulfills both the social and the sexual needs. Personal experience tells me that going for social compatibility is a good step in the right direction.
Besides, eventually you'll have to settle down. Then what?

I'm definitely the monogamous type. I can see friends with benefits working, I can see swinging working--where you have a couple that has sex with others together (not for me, but in general), and I can see a couple with loose polygamy (where they are in a relationship with each other, but casual sex is permitted).
I just can't wrap my head around the idea of maintaining multiple, meaningful relationships at the same time. That's not to say that it can't work--just that I can't make sense of the idea. Hell, there are so few people I enjoy spending time with as it. The idea of finding more than one person I want to have a meaningful relationship is crazy. Then again, being gay, the population of eligible partners is way smaller.
Polygamy isn't for me, and I know that, so there's no problem. If other people can make it work, and are happy doing so, then good for them--I wish them the best (truthfully). Now if only the second half of this nation would stop trying to stop me from having just a normal monogamous relationship...
[EDIT]
I'm not partial to the idea of true love, nor do I think that love at first sight is anything particularly special (actually, I can't help but feel that relationships not resulting from it are more likely to succeed).
I think that there are some people I'm more compatible with, and a lot of people I'm less compatible with. It's always going to take work to maintain a relationship, even when you are highly compatible.
Then again, I don't believe in souls, so the idea of a soulmate is kinda automatically invalidated.

Well, and the idea of "settling down" means different things to different people. If you're meaning that one day I'll have to give up being poly and get married and have kids, eh I don't think that I'll HAVE to do that if I don't want to. Will it be difficult maintaining a poly and kinky lifestyle while keeping it secret from the public community I decide to teach in? Sure. But that doesn't mean I can't try. Why do I have to give up any part of who I am because the society at large thinks those things are naughty? I may be too open for my own good, but that doesn't mean I don't know when to keep my mouth shut. The only family members I've told about my life style choices are my sister and one of my cousins (because I'm close to them and I trust them not to tell anyone else). I will probably tell my parents about my poly lifestyle at some point because it's relevant to them if I choose to spend my life with more than one person somewhere down the road. Things I do in the bedroom are not things they need to know.
Hell, there are plenty of older folks out there who are poly and/or kinky. The household that hosts our Tuesday play parties here in town are a male and two female triad, and they're all in their sixties. One of the women even has a kid. It seems that here in the local community, there are about equal amounts of younger and older relationships and even some mixed. The gentleman I mentioned above has another partner who is a year older than me, and they've been together for about a year now and are crazy about each other. I personally don't think I could be with someone that much older than me, but that's my hang up, and I think both of them are awesome people.
Also, just to give you guys a lesson in terms:
Polygamy = many marriages, specifically one male with multiple wives
Polygyny = many marriages, specifically one female with multiple husbands
Polyamory = many loves (this is what I consider myself)
So yes, there's a few different flavors of poly. When I say poly, I specifically mean polyamory, not polygamy or polygyny since both of those are illegal currently.
Even aside from the fact that I'm bisexual, so I want same sex marriage legal in that context, I also want it legal because the next step after that is multiple marriages. I know that's extremely controversial in this country, but I think it goes along the same lines as same sex marriage. Who does it really hurt? Nobody. Might make things more complicated tax wise, but if I want to marry more than one person I should be able to do so. I don't currently, but if things go well with my LD bf (and the four of us - he has another gf as well - end up living together at some point in the future), that's a possibility I'd like to have available.

About this other discussion...yeah, I don't know if I could be like that. I'm not jealous or anything, in fact my ex girlfriends used to complain that I wouldnt get jealous by anything, but I don't know if I would like to know that the person I have a relationship have the same with other person. Maybe it could work, but I don't know.
Now, I'm all for open relationships. It's best to have an open and honest relationship than to fool the person and have sex with other people behind their back.

Primary and secondary? How can you measure that? I mean, how can you decide wich one is your primary and wich one is your secondary?
Having a secondary means you like the primary more? Who would want to be in a relationship where you know the other person doesn't like you all that much and you will be a second, possibly last, option?
Yes, of course, there are people who does that by cheating and having secondary relationships with lovers (google translaltor says I could use concubine here, heh) outside of marriage/whatever. But that secondary relationship, usually, isn't a real relationship, more an escape. Or it happens because the primary relationship is going to end anyways and is hanging for whatever reason.
If the primary relationship is open, meaning you both can have sex with other persons, assuming both agree to it, there's no secondary relationship, and everything evolve around the only relationship you have. But it's quite hard to find someone really ready to do that. Both man and woman, in general, don't like seeing or knowing, even while participating, that the other person is having any type of relationship with someone else.
I respect your opinion and options, of course, I just can't really imagine myself having relationships like what you are describing.
