    Default If you could have a new accent, any accent you want...

    ...what would it be?

    I would choose an Irish accent, whenever I hear an Irishman speak, I stand in awe.

    Keep my current, but if I had to change, probably a french one.

    As for why, listen to this guy's french accent.

    The Irish accent here seems to be pretty successful with the ladies, too bad I am shocking at impersonations.

    Irish. Or maybe Scottish.

    A nice, smooth Sean Connery Scottish accent. A Geordie would be entertaining though.

    Irish, Scottish or German would all be cool for me.

    I like the British military-style, for some reason.

    I wish I still had my London accent. Aussie accent is pretty good though, most people world-wide are receptive to the Aussie accent. South African accent would be cool too. I've gotten pretty good at Edinburgh and Liverpool accents... although, I wouldn't want either as my actual accent.

    I always thought Eastern European accents were cool.

    And Ha! to all those who want Scottish accents!

    Nothing so sexy as English with a French accent, so I'd chose a French accent.

    Heh, despite being brought up round these parts, people always tell me I sound like a teuchter (broad Scots as in north-east, my dad is from there) so thankfully I have been spared the west coast nasal whine!

    One Dutch accent, please. Steve McClaren style.

    I'd gladly settle for the above, though.
    When Adam delved and Eve span, Who was then the gentleman? From the beginning all men by nature were created alike, and our bondage or servitude came in by the unjust oppression of naughty men. For if God would have had any bondsmen from the beginning, he would have appointed who should be bound, and who free. And therefore I exhort you to consider that now the time is come, appointed to us by God, in which ye may (if ye will) cast off the yoke of bondage, and recover liberty. - John Ball
