Cheers for saving my arse on that one
Went to boarding school before state school so usually fairly posh unless I'm slumming it. Then I sound a bit bristolian innit me babber.

I'm originally from Buckinghamshire
so I don't really have one. Maybe a slight Devon twang, but only slight if it's even there.

a nice irish accent, or a russian one, on a woman is pretty hot.

Have you seen the ad for Russian Standard Vodka?
where the woman goes "Russian Standard Vodka; Russia's number one premium vodka?". Her voice goes right through me, she's half whispering and half a fricking bloke. Ick.
(I helped save b3ta! Kitty v1.0 desperately naive, Thu 9 Sep 2010, 14:27, Reply)
not sure, may have done
I just remember being at a party at uni, stoned out of my mind, sat on a bed in one of the rooms and my friend Claire was in their painting on a flowerpot and speaking in Russian to herself.

Admittedly she had a smoking hot body and was I think dressed as a sexy fairy, but it gave me the raging horn.

I sound a bit Scottish
Not as much as many folk I know, but it becomes noticeable if I venture into that there England.

I love the South-West bumpkin-ish accent for a bit, but then I get tired of it and want to maul people that speak with it.

edits: Welsh accent wins every time actually.
(PenguinOfDeath is Scottish, and most likely angry, Thu 9 Sep 2010, 14:26, Reply)
I'm from Yorkshire, but after ten years living in other locations, the accent has been dulled somewhat
I'm sure it still comes out on certain words and phrases, but mostly my accent is generic, middle of the road, humdrum.

do you say grass or grarse?
I say grarse and get severely mocked for it by my common Lancashire friends. They're rather hypocritical as they frequently say things like "we're goin' pub".
(I helped save b3ta! Kitty v1.0 desperately naive, Thu 9 Sep 2010, 14:29, Reply)
You're right
grarse is the way to say it. And barth, not baaath.
(I helped save b3ta! Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Thu 9 Sep 2010, 14:31, Reply)
HELL TO THE YEAH
grarse, glarse, barth, parth, carstle.

I hate people who tell me I'm saying it wrong because the word grass doesn't have an r in it, so I usually just ask them if they pronounce banana BAHNAHNAH and they give up.

I don't have an accent
though any b3tans are free to correct me. It's a bit RP I guess. I don't think I sound very posh, but other people reckon I do.

I really like proper RP on men as long as it isn't nasal. I don't like Irish accents, and not hugely fond of the Geordie accent

Alt Q; no speech impediment

I tend to (subconciously) change how I speak depending on who I am addressing so might have become more neutral and posh sounding when talking to you...

I hate the scouse accent (sorry Roota)
it just grates on me. There's a guy at work who is a bit scouse and he says cheque a lot, with the hacky C sound, I hate it. When we tease him about it he says he's from Cheshire. Cheshire is pronounced Chesheer because he's a FUCKING SCOUSE TWAT.
(I helped save b3ta! Kitty v1.0 desperately naive, Thu 9 Sep 2010, 14:31, Reply)

I don't really know what it's like
I'd say it was fairly posh but with a hint of Northern-Manchesterish when I say certain words. I stutter when upset, stressed or embarrassed.

But Southerners tend to think I sound very northern :/

Southerners tell me I have a Lancashire twang, which is pretty upsetting. I think I've picked up northern phrases rather than the accent, I say "aye" a lot and "well" instead of "very".

The local accent is utterly cringeworthy in its commonest form and is a cause of great embarrassment when heard on the television.
On our last ISO 9000 audit the inspector (from Cheshire) mentioned how none of us had a noticeable Hull accent and I told him that we had made "rounding out our vowels by 20%" one of our quality objectives. He actually noted it down. They're mad for measurable quality objectives those guys.

RP. Halfy reckons I have the right voice to be an airline pilot. (Despite having no appropriate training otherwise)
I've developed a thing for European accents on women, particularly Eastern European/Russian. (Though conversely, despite having had a thing for Asian women for far longer, the stereotypically squeaky voices do grate dreadfully)

I've tried to be understanding with regional accents, because, depressing though the West Midlands diction is to listen to, they can't really help it. Cockney however, gets on my wick, but not quite as much as fake cockney, and then not quite as much as whatever the juddery fuck that "rudeboi" accent's supposed to be.

Well, I'm from Guildford
the common accent around here's Jamie Oliver style Mockney. Thankfully it's passed me by and I've got something similar to a soft London going on.

Soft West Country accents make me tumescent.

Interestingly, the missus like a Welsh. Rhod Gilbert makes her start slowly sliding off the sofa. Most peculiar.

I don't really have one for most of the time
But I have a definite scouse twang to some words, and if I speak to anyone with a scouse accent, it comes out a lot more. Or when I'm drunk. Or when I speak quickly.

I like the proper scouse accent on people, not the scally accent. I find it quite soothing on older people (i.e. over 40).

Alt Q: Yep, I just told you, I sound scouse at times, haha.

Penelope Cruz is a second rate Salma Hayek.
Plus Tom Cruise has probably Aids'ed her.

I get mocked in Newcastle for pretty much never pronouncing my H's. I would mock them back but to quote a certain someone, whenever they talk most of the time it's just a noise.

Do you know what accent gives me the horn?
The advert where the Russian(?) girl is on top of the mattresses and the 'prince' has put a pea under the bottom one? When she says "It's perverted'? Gets ne rigid.
Also like Portuguese and Highland Scots.
Chinese is the worst - too much squawking. And the Welsh.

In the storybook I had as a child
the drawing of the prince always had a mildly surprised look when she complained about how badly she slept, as though to say 'I'm surprised I got the Rohyponol dosage wrong'

Erm, 'Generic Southern' is probably a good description.
I'm told that I'm pretty well spoken, so that's nice. I'm also told that when I'm very drunk the Essex can really come out in me, which I find horrifying, frankly. Others have said that the old Danish accent slips out from time to time, but I can only assume that's their ears playing silly buggers with their brains.
