Mind your language

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

I'm a sucker for a Geordie accent. And an Irish lilt makes me swoon. What floats your boat?

I don't know what region he was from, but a man selling stuff at a store in Cambridge had the best accent ever. He suckered me into buying a bracelet with it. One of the most mellifluous sounds I've heard. I wanted him for his voice alone.

But I've found that it's not so much the accent as how the individual uses it and how his tone of voice is. A southern (US) accent can be sexy on the right people imo.

Due to only speaking English to a Greek-Canadian lady, I'm affraid by now I speak English with a terrible accent which is a mixture of Canadian with most probably some Greek influences and a whole lot of Flemish stuff mixed in too :eek: :roll:

I just have to get rid of it before this summer :lol:

I thought "excessive swearing" was part of the geordie accent - well, it is with the Geordies I know :lol:

The only person I have ever met who swears more than Geordies is my South African friend Sean :lol: Having said that, he was born in Newcastle and moved over to South Africa when very young. He has dual citizenship - so the best of both worlds :lol:

Mmm good post...

South Coast accents are nice, like cockney without the sleaze.
Australian, Irish, 'Carol Smilie Scottish' & young Norwegian women talking English.

On the down side (apologies in advance for offence...)

Geordies? Where? What? Kill! :wink:

Accents: some eastern Europe (would it surprise anyone if I mentioned Russia again at this point). Hispanic. Scottish, except for really harsh Glaswegian.

I'm not a big fan of rural accents. I like my chat fast-paced and quick-witted. Experience suggests Devon and East Anglia isn't the place to go for this.

Of course, never having met any of you lot, I can make up accents in my head to read your posts. It's like Eurotrash every day round here :lol:

Scouse is the bane of my existence. Primarily because everyone 'round here speaks it ¬.¬

I prefer Southern accents (probably because I'm accused of having one by the people trying to talk Scouse). Scottish accents are quite cool too.

...and because of Heartlanders' surprisingly-accurate written portrayal of this accent, I correctly identified a real-live Geordie last year (without ever having met or spoken to one before!): a Newcastle-born waiter at a local, vaguely-British pub that some co-workers and I like to frequent for lunch. To say that he and my lunch partners were blown away would be an understatement... :twisted: ;D :von:

What's so unusual? Two neighbouring cities who don't much get on. See Liverpool/Manchester, Leeds/Bradford, Glasgow/Edinburgh, Cardiff/Swansea, Derby/Nottingham/Leicester. Etc.

Apart from football I've never had any arguments with Geordies. Cockneys, on the other hand ....
