Lynda Walker from Newcastle woke up one morning and realized she had
a jamaican accent. The 60-year-old may have the so called Foreign Accent Syndrome,
where patients speak differently after a brain injury. So far there is only 50 known cases.
She says: "I didn't realise what I sounded like, but then my speech therapist played a tape
of me talking. I was just devastated."

Movies with a Roman theme are usually incredibly nice & tacky, for example "Spartacus", "Gladiator, & " The Fall of The Roman Empire". Now a BBC produced tv series, filmed in Italy, is on the go - the magazine Newsweek reviewed it as
"...Think "Me, Claudius" on steroids and Viagra". Sounds great.
