I'm getting curious again, but not as gutterishly curious as last time.
What's your favorite accent?
I'd have to say mine are those of an Irish lass, Southern Belle, kokney, Australian man, Scottish, Japanese.
Edit: I must say that censors are quite annoying. --;;

You should learn more about English, Vehemence.
Unless you are talking about the Queen's English, there's no such thing called "English accent".
For example, Gruntboy is a Geordi, so I believe he has Geordi accent, and not "English". I'm sure he is proud of it.
(Of course, he might be a public school boy with "the" English accent, so in that case, I apologise.
)
Minerva, at her spam and run...

LOL Minerva
Grunty, a public schoolboy, that would explain the obsession with marines...
Well, ok, so what accent do I have? It's not exactly Queen's English, but it's not a regional variation either, it's just "English"...

Georgi, I know you are from the region with less distinctive accent.
I just wanted to hear Vehemence saying like this...

Nauseus? Why do I have to feel nauseus to trick Vehemence?
@Vehemence: Hehe.
Oh, congrats on 4000th post.

No you don't have to feel Nauseus, but it might make him happy. Now where did Nauseus go... he's around here somewhere
Bye Minerva, thanks for the congrats

Opinion polls usually suggest that Irish, Welsh, Geordie and other such soft, melodic regional accents are most popular. That's why you get a lot of call centres in such places (cheap living costs too
).
I like 'em all. As long as its regional and distinctive. Scots, Welsh, Swedish, Canadian, German, anything!
Northern European and Scandanivian tones usually float my boat (watch out Xandax
).

@Grunt: I'm pretty sure we don't have an accent...
My favorite would have to be Northern Scots. The really thick Gaelic accent that the Scots have. It's also the one I spent hours learning to mimic!

i really like the american south accent (on a girl), or of course the poll favorite Scottish. The Glasgow accent doesn't sound right to me, though, so it's the Highland accent
Irish gals are just great all around... A couple that I think are neat are the New Zealand and South African - kind of different.

What is it with scotisch and irisch accents?
Everybody seems to like em! I don't see what's so special about them.
As I said before, the women from Hot Shots, she has an mix of eccents from all of European contries. Her voice is soooo sexy.!
