My dad has a colleague from a previous company over today. He's interested in possibly hiring this guy to work with him again at his new company (not his, he doesn't own it, you know what I mean). They just arrived from the airport about 5 minutes ago. Anyway, this fellow is British, and may I say, his accent is awesome. Liek, teh awesome.

I'm not sure what it is. The stereotypical British accent is just so errr... charming? Y'know Ruthy et. al., if you guys ever come to America (or China) the women are gonna love you for your voice before they even look at you.

Anyway, describe encounters with people with awesome accents! Or something to that effect. What accents are the "best"? Strangest? Whatever.

On reality TV: "Ah, it's rubbish Tv, isn't it?".

When I went over to Finland, people reacted strangely to my accent, but in a good way.

In fact, Sami, (morpheus of massassi) can speak english brilliantly and can even pull of a london accent, and the two of us went around a finnish rock festival talking in english and getting free booze and cigarettes.

This is probably the ONLY example where being english/scottish has its advantages.

(on a side note, the accent of the chav, aka the scummy teenage lower class of britain, sounds awful. Americans would be sourly dissapointed with the voices of those losers. )

Something about the irish accent drives me wild. Whenever I hear an irish woman speak (which is kinda rare unfortunately) it just puts me in a good mood for the whole day.
I dunno why that it is, but I love it.

I've met a Brit, a French girl, a Haitian Frenchy, and some Italians, the French girl was the hottest but the Brit guy had the best accent.

Meh. I prefer an American accent, myself. Less likelihood of communication problems.

Not to say I don't like foreign accents, of course. But I prefer your typical Midwestern accent (and, no, it is not Ozark hick).

I remember the first time I went to London, I was probabaly about 11 and was at that humungus toy store you guys have.
I was watching this guy demonstrate a magic trick that was part of a kit they sold, and I asked (Because I was in a foreign country, I didn't know how things worked, and I was 11) if the directions came in english. He smirked at me, and told me they "Came in American, if that's what I was asking." and then he, and all the british kids laughed at me..

It made me sad.

This Scottish chick I used to work with came in with a cold and a deep and throaty voice once. I spent the entire day bent forward at the waist and making excuses not to stand up.

I want to hug you.

British accent sounds kinda ace, but isn't really appreciated here.

I agree. A dear friend of mine, (who died only 2 weeks ago ) had an irish accent, so soft and beautiful. Not only her voice, but SHE herself was reknowned for being one of the most stunning girls at university.

And when she spoke, men would just melt into a jibbering mess, including myself

Correction, scummy lower class of England. We have no Chavs, only Neds.

And myself and some mates were talking about this kinda thing at lunch today. If we try to pull off english accents its Snooty butler, "Freshen yer drink guvnah", or Brummie. Or in my case, lancaster.

Chavs sux.

To me, I have no discernable accent. I sound like a prat, though.

I'm from Edinburgh - not that much of an accent either.

I don't like my accent. I'm from near Milton Keynes. It sucks.

I shot a video with a Welsh dude in it. He had an awesome accent. He said f*** alot too. It really made the video awesome.

Out of pity for being treated such, or because I asked such a stupid question? :p

Here as in Finland? Brit accent is VERY appreciated here considering all the free alchohol and cigarettes and "OMG that sounds SOOOO sexy" me and Ruthven got in Ilosaari

chavs arent as bad as all the other english folk make out.

i am from the north east of england and you would not get my accent.

LOL that made me laugh :p

bless his cotton lil socks!

I have a British accent!

Ha ha, laugh at the Jew.

Haha, laugh at THE DEAD MAN.

/me marinates Wolfy

Haha laugh at the CLOWN!

/me does a jig

At least here in the south - or then just in this little village - many people are "lol its gay lolol" :/

Or then just one, but I haven't heard other opinions. :I
