Favourite Speaking Voices

Eric proposes Ringo Starr as a favourite speaking voice for his Thomas The Tank Engine work. (Is that from your kids' TV viewing, Eric, or are you listening to books-on-tape on your daily commute?) ("Thomas" is mentioned at Jump The Shark - apparently, they replaced Ringo with George Carlin among others.) Anyway, I'll agree that Ringo has a pleasant voice. Does anyone else remember that annoying Scouse comedian from the 1970s who used to go on about "the Germans"?
