Does anyone like the English accent??

pinkfeather

Anyone at all?? :eek:

Tusky

I do! Some of them are horrible but some can be lovely.

stepbar

Yes, when she starts talking I know I'm right in there

Captain-America

About as much as I love the sound of a kitten vomiting.

Sabre0001

I like some of them. Some awful ones of course but you'll get that anywhere that you can identify differences (i.e. the Irish all sound the same to some people but we know different sources...)

Clover

I love all English Girls accents , very sexy .

Broad

There are so many different ones as different as Derry and Kerry accents you can hardly lump them all together and say you either like or don't like!

WoollyRedHat

Does anyone like English? I for one hate it, dispicable language

pinkfeather

how about the yorkshire accent?

tribulus

Some of the softer ones are nice on girls.

b12mearse

i don't like it. its too intimidating. its makes my accent sound so paddy like

pikachucheeks

Ooooh ar

I'm not a big fan of the west country accent.

I think the London accent is pretty sexy though!

Posh English accents are nice!

I do. They're great.

might sound weird but i love the scouse accent

bronte

It depends on the accent. Some make my ears sad!

Alot of my cousins are English, from Coventry. They sound like brummies and get tetchy when you mention it.

I always mention it

Latchy

I love some English accents .Living in England has no baring on my likeness for them ,I would still like them if I lived in ireland or timbucktu .

Rhyme

A few of them are really nice. I have a soft spot for how English girls say my name too.

lgoring21

not at all....came home from disneyland paris and i think i had picked up a bit of a twang...theyre everywhere...squeaky horribleness

Melange

Some are lovely; the accent of a well-spoken, well educated English person can be a pleasure to listen to. Stephen Fry springs to mind here.

Most English accents are pretty horrible, though - like listening to a monkey attempting to speak.

I'm surrounded by it ,There is a variation in the scouse accent as there is for instance in the Dublin one .

Was over at a match in Liverpool recently, having a bite to eat in some fast food place when a woman came in and made some daft minute long announcement while talking quite fast. Apparently she was scouse and I could not catch anything she was saying. When I can understand it I love the scouse accent...most of it is abuse in the football stadium..

Dennis the Stone

I likes them.

Well, not the new chavtastic kind, the one where every sentence ends with 'basically,' or 'know what i mean.'

The Newcastle one is terrible. Listening to Cheryl Cole speak, while visually entrancing, makes me want to stick pencils in my ears.

The Manchester one can be equally irritating.

Brummie accents are alright, Liverpool accents are fun to listen to, Bristol's just odd-- I really wish they'd make up their mind in regards to their r's, they kind of randomly toss them in there for no reason. Upscale London isn't bad but Cockney is absolutely shíte.

I like Stephen Fry's. And Alan Davies', but that's because he has a bit of a lisp or something, haven't put my finger on it but it's cute. :pac:

I like most northern ones, not the scouse or mancs ones though.

I get the piss taken out of me quite a lot for my Yorks accent, meh

Clearly paced, properly enunciated and without a strong local twang.

Capt'n Midnight

Which English accent there are so many. And a lot of us are tuned into them in the old way when you could nearly tell someones past, present and future just by hearing how they've said a single sentence.

Completely agree on the Newcastle accent. *shudders*

Presume the "what the fuk are you on about?" meant "what are you using ghey words like 'well-read' and 'well-educated' for? What the hell are ya readin' books for?"

Heh. I sincerely was asked that once. I wasn't even reading a book, I was leafing through a Zig and Zag comic I found in my cousins room ffs, hardly intellectually stimulating.

Dudess

You'd see a fair few retards on Bebo putting "FUK BOOKS!!1!" after "Favourite book".

I don't like it. It's painful to listen to especially because of the slang.

It took me an age to understand what 'naff' meant. The word 'sod' makes me think of sawdust. I'm still trying to figure out what a berk is.

Playing TF2 on a British server is thus painful. They wonder why I didn't heed their warning of the spy behind me. The answer, I don't know what they're saying most of the time.
