I found out that the geckos voice is actually the guy who played Max Branning in Eastenders just thought I would share.

That's ridiculous. Geckos are obviously Spanish. They should be using Antonio Banderas. :hehe:

Well maybe not every accent. I was on the ferry to the Isle of Man with a bunch of drunken soldiers from Liverpool. Every sentence was punctuated with something that sounded somewhat like "Folkin ell" to my American ears. Didn't sound too posh. :whistle:

Edit: I wasn't with the drunken soldiers, just watching them keep falling down in rough seas.
