See, I don't really like Irish accents that well, but Scottish, Aussie, and that "blue-blood Brit" accent, now those are gorgeous.

OK, you can have the British and I'll take the Irish...we'll just have to fight over the others. ;-) Most British accents don't do a thing for me, maybe because I've watched soooo many British movies and TV shows that they don't seem "special" any more.

I think I'll skip Ireland, they'd probably hate me for being so English!

Ha! Once when I was in Europe (in France, actually) at a sort of military convention, I was talking with a whole gang of Irish military guys and then asked the guy standing next to me where in Ireland HE was from. He looked shocked for a second and said, "Oh, I'M from LONDON!" I apologized, but we both agreed it would have been a MUCH worse situation the other way 'round, i.e. if I'd "accused" an Irishman of being English!

I just think those Brit accents sound so intelligent. That's a pretty funny story!
