I do enjoy the 'Quees English' accent myself. Sounds nothing like me normally but... I would say old bean that I do a rather spiffing imatation of it! Am also quite fond of a lass with a slightly northern accent....

It's funny, I actually always hated Irish accents until I met Rodimus. His is on the softer side, though, so it's very nice. The Commander, on the other hand ... Hehee, j/k.
Unfortunately, the love of accents is not mutual, as Roddy likes to complain on the occasions when my "New Englandness" kicks in stronger than normal. TOO BAD!

its hard to make a clean cut vote on accents cause, i like alot of them. thought my top picks for favorite accents are
#1 Irish
#2 British
#3 Scottish
#4 Australian
#5 Italian
* I could make a rather huge list but for the most part these five are my favorites cause i have friends from these countries, and the accents are beautiful to me. I live in the US and have encountered quite a few European people over the last 20 years, even had some foreign exchange students from Germany that i went to school with. Im Irish/ Italian, and i love both sides of my heritage but im more fond of my Irish side.*

I don't hate your accent. You just get very "broad" at times and you never used to. I think you have a beautiful accent/voice and I am sure I will get used to the broad parts the more time we actually get to be together properly.Arcee wrote:It's funny, I actually always hated Irish accents until I met Rodimus.

I hate to get myself beat up or something here, but I have to say Canadian as my absolute favorite from this list. On occasions others rival that, and many are quite nice (especially when paired with nice looking people ), but I'm partial to the rounded vowels and the occasional "eh" from the Central Canadians I grew up so close to (lived not far from the border in North Dakota).
However, as Rattrap was mentioning, if the Midwestern Accent had been up there, I would have picked it in a heartbeat. x3

An odd poll I think. I chose Irish though. Austrailian is sweet. The most interesting things about different accents is not the accent itself but the different words for things, IE like CJ said. Baasten. Is wicked nice. It gets really thick when the person is s little tipsy, really hot when it's a girl that's easy on the eyes.
Grimlock that is interesting,
"Just because I am attached, does not mean that I can not look."
My wife does not have the same attitude about that kind of thing.
