If Earl is a redneck type of name, what would the English version be and where would it be based?

My name is Wayne based in Dagenham??

(feel free to introduce Scottish, Welsh, Irish variants too!)

my name is Guinivere

us english peeps are not posh-ness .
we may eat a fry up for breakfast , but we dont follow the ''traditional thought of englishpeople'' rules .

wouldnt it have to be a common english name ?
my name is james or something ?
and would we be portrayed as theifs?

My name is James and all my life I've shoplifted and gone out clubbing while getting high. Now I wanna change my life around and make up for all the muggings I have done. I won 3 million on the lottery and now, I'm gonna turn my life around!

It is exactly the same, my name is earl. listen all you idiots who think us english are posh, we freakin' ain't, watching american movies with english people in, we always have posh accents, we don't. got it?

It's simply called My name is Earl, nothing different, nothing more.

I didn't think Earl was a typical Redneck name anyway - don't they all have three names strung together? Probably about as likely as us Brits talking with plums in our mithes (mouths, spelt posh! Don't know if that came across! *lol*)

His name was meant to be Carl (remember the ep with the car and his dad?)

I think the point of this thread was about a british version of the name earl.

How many earls or even carls do you know in UK?

I would imagine very few if any.

yes

it would be called... -drumm roll please-

My Name Is Bob

orr..

My Name Is Fred

Shaggin' its a funneh thing...


Yeah i can picture it now. at the side of postoffice

I know somebody called Carl, its not that uncommon for people in the UK to have that name.

Have to be 'My Name Is Dave'... if i had a pound for every Dave i knew.. you know the rest... Known as 'Dodgy dave' to 'friends' and 'acquaintances'.. undoing his wrongs.. That'd work.

You know the kind of guy who always gets an ASBO and wonders why his life sucks?'

Well that was me

Everytime i got drunk a stole cars the old bill would be around the corner

Karma

Thats when i realised i had to chance

So i made a list of all the reasons for my ASBO'S and one by one im gonna make-up for all my mistakes

I just trying to be a better non-violent chav

My name is steve.

how can you do karma if you cant go past your own street then ?

^ Good point...

thank you

perhaps email everyone to say sorry , but then youd have to internet stalk them to get their addys

the english version would probably be about a chav lol

Don't know who that was aimed at but i was asking who Rab was? I'm not particularly bothered though.

some poster in 4communityn . but he got banned . but is back as a new name . i personally , dont like him .
but some people do i suppose .

Some people are just mis-understood.

If it was remade in england it wouldn't work. New sitcoms are shite (Greenwing/My Family etc) and re-makes of good american ones are the worst, Married with Children etc

The dreadful thing is that if they did make an English version it would probably be made by American producers, which would inevitably cause it to be set in upperclass Surrey.

My name is Sir Richard VII maybe?

Generally though I think My name is John Smith would work quite well. Supposedly the most common first and last names. Works for me. Oh, and he should be a Geordie, because that would clearly rock.

You know the kind of chap who always gets into bother and wonders why his life isn't peachy?

Well that was I

Everytime i got merry, i got into alsorts of bother and kerfuffle, the old constabulary would be around the corner, by the green.

Karma

Thats when i realised i had to jolly well change.

So i typed a list on my laptop of all the naughty things i had done and one by one im going to make-up for all my mischief!

My name is Richard, the 20th.
