Beauty & Style Accents

[Papa G]

Most people from non English speaking backgrounds speak American English, even in Europe. I find the Dutch take on English quite amusing. "You wan't to Sshhmoke the pot and get sshhtoned?"

I love women with Irish accents and Welsh to like Charlotte Church. Penelope Cruz is awesome too.

And then Geoff Boycott is altogether different again although he is from Fitzwilliam, right next to Barnsley. Patrick Stewart, Parky and Boycs all share another thing in common in that they are all arrogant pricks.

I am quite hurt by all the hate for Northern English accents. The Yorkshire accent is grand ! Daphne from Frasier with her Manc accent does it for me though.

I can listen to French accents forever, male or female but only like Scottich accents on women. I actually like a lot of Southern US accents, mainly on women though.

Yes, although it depends. Certain versions come off whiny and harsh, others are excellent (eg girl from york i hooked up with recently talked just fine)

As for french

Yeah, that pisses me off to no end. What's so good about American English, anyway? They invent words, misspell and mispronounce them too. It's not a trunk nor a hood, it's a boot or a bonnet. It's not a trash can, it's a rubbish bin. It's not aluminum, it's aluminium.

Don't mind British. Over here the Aussie accent goes down a treat.

Accent varies throughout Yorkshire, South Yorks being the most harsh in my opinion. I'd agree with you re North Yorkshire, accent is the easiest on the ear and closest to Queens English (all relative mind you).

Sadly those deluded fu*kers in South Yorkshire consider themselves to be uber Yorkshire & superior to West / East & North Yorkshire folk the deluded pricks.

If in doubt watch the film Kes, you'll get the picture.

Welsh does it for me, always so friendly. Very underrated accent on males and females.
