I am a sucker for most accents..... italian, spanish, irish, aussie, various african accents and even german accents. At this point, I'd say that chinese accents annoy me, but that just because of HM#2.

Scottish! How could you forget about the Scottish accent. I knew a guy once who was Scottish...this guy, no matter what story he told, it was incredibly f*cking interesting...all because of that totally great accent! Man I wish I could fake a Scottish accent!

I love the french accent. No matter what they say, it
just sounds so sensual and exciting .....

When I first came to New York I overheard an older German
couple speaking "vaht vatch is it?" It just kills me Laughing

Indian accents are funny too. I never could take an Indian
seriously, no matter what.

I'd think it would depend on where they lived.

kilts, cold nights, scottish accents...we know how to get lilk going now dont we? Wink

Irish.
Have gotten to the point where I can pick out where (North or not at least) on the Island they come from.
Its wild.

Most are nice but, I think living around here makes the Irish one more of a daily occurance.
