various english accents...

OK, this might sound a bit strange but whoelse thinks that a few accents are very sexy??!! ;-) For example how Guy pronounces love... Well, I just simply love it.

But my most loved one is the scottish accent. :-D
David Tennant, John Hannah or Douglas Henshall. Oh boy. ;-)
I can't even explain why, it just is...

..och aye the noo Jimmy !

Love it! Mr. Chrissie is Scottish, so I get an earful of that accent every day, and am preparing to be surrounded by it when we visit his family over there this summer. I'm quite fond of it myself, though it can get tough to decipher when there's a whole pile of folks chattering at ya all at once, and some of those folks are a wee bit pished an that, ken?

Having said that, I do also luv the Manchester accent, and Guy's voice in particular. Yummy!

Well, as a Mancunian - I do love it but I'm biased.

On ladies, I ADORE the Geordie/Newcastle accent, oh YES.

Overseas, the Italian accent is just so cool, as Italians, from my experience in that country, tend to be.

You all have lovely accents. I, on the other hand, do not. While I don't sound like an ignorant hick, I'm still sound distinctly Texan.

Aww, I remember when I was on holiday in Scotland asking for the way and all I understood was "rrrrrrrrrrayd acrrrrrrrrross owwa the rrrrrrrrrrrrrröndebött"
But since I noticed Malcolm Middleton and heard some interviews with Mogwai I understand it a lot better

Soft Scottish and Irish accents really do it for me, haha.

But I love the Manchester accent - it's just really... warm.

My boyfriend is Canadian and after now having lived with him for 5 years I don't even notice it. Very odd!

It's a bit weird, but as a Mancunian, Jimi Goodwin, Noel Gallagher and Johnny Marr represent the accent quite well, unlike Liam Gallagher (still my all time fave front man, 94 - 96), Shaun Ryder (OK, Salford) and Ashley Peacock from Coronation Street

Just noticed, that Macca the Scouser says "sonk" instead of "song". Noticed that til now at the mancs...

Ok, so I'm not weired. That helps a lot.

And yeah, the irish accent (like Bono has) is quite sexy, too. Although also Bono could be the reason. *LOL*
No, I've always have been an Ireland fan.

I have cousins from Manchester and Birmingham, and loved hearing them speak whenever they visited us in London.

Now that I live in the USA and have a very many years, I relish the opportunities when I'm surrounded by people with English and Irish accents, because I don't hear them too often anymore.

Must be a huge difference living in the states.

I'd love to have an accent and get rid of my german.
Funny enough when I think in english (which happens through to forums like this) I can think with an accent. So weired. I just can't pronounce them.
Altough I probably also think with grammar mistakes, so never mind.
