....don’t really know why but it seems to me anyway that it lends a richness, depth to a language. But, there are one or two examples which grate, Brummie’s have usually tended to aggravate though I now have a new villain topping the list, Antipodean Women. Due to these god awful fires, I’ve heard more Aussie ladies on the tv in the last two weeks than the previous two decades and any views I’d had on their speaking manner has been tripled down on. What’s up, the blokes sound fine, the gals have a volume button on perpetual whine?
Had a brief "realtionship" witha Galswegian girl who had a soft accent (it does exist, believe me). That's kind of stayed with me hence intent watching of Missus Shroeder on Broadwalk Empire.
Another was Nottingham... and not a second class return.
The best accent is cockney... end ov guv'nar (unless it's that kunt Redknapp)
Cherish and enjoy life.... this ain't no dress rehearsal
I was in my in-laws' back garden in Northern Ireland when I heard a gruff Irish accent shouting from the field at the top of the road - about 1/4 mile away, so I went for a walk and saw Ian Paisley standing on some pallets addressing/bellowing at his followers - no microphone needed. Bit off a turn up, really.

I let fly wth a volley of abuse during the play off final in Cardiff and a few rowss in front someone responds with "who the fcuk let Paisley in." Thankfully I sound nothing like him but i can see the persons perception with high volume shouting.
As a Loyalist can i just say i have never been a fan of Paisley.
