so my mam grew up on the same council estate as cheryl tweedy (i think). i don't speak like her that much though.
haha

compared to mine,
alan shearer's accent is pretty posh.
what about this?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T1urq4Vb0XM
nar liek.
sexy
morose, accent-less.
A bit Northern
A bit middle class
A bit asian
Depends on the situation, innit?
Bacon, crisps, football...
Same stuff I like, really.
very common unfortunately
but less common than most of slough
Apparently I have no accent
but people occasionally say they can pick up a hint of a yorkshire accent.
Someone on this board
once said I sounded like Mike Skinner with a sore throat or something. This thread was inspired by the youtube video of olegrich doing that tequila thing - always thought he'd be a common lad, but posh as Prince William.
I enjoy having a common Essex accent, although it does sound a bit mockneyish
a bit posh, a bit estuary
a bit drawly
well-spoken, apparently, but i'm not sure what that means exactly
^ definitely thinks about this too much.
in love with me
Yorkshire
but not like an old farm guy you can't understand, well unless you have never been North of London anyway.
i love yorkshire accents.
in the top 5 i think.
Whoooo
Shire FTW!
:)
wicked
think shameless
but not quite as bad. not great though.
see, that's cool
I love common accents, rather than posh ones. Gives people more of an edge
me too
Nothing worse than really posh accents or ERK, transatlantic drawl
I dunno
really posh is acceptable - middle class, half privileged background - not so.
hmmm
horsey is very unappealing, but I know what you mean, I think.
Does it bother you if you can't detect a 'background' in an accent?
No
I suppose it's more to do with the people behind the accent - if it's someone genuinely legit posh I'd really love to talk to them - they'd have a lot of stories to tell about their lives and I'd be interested. However, if it's some cunt whose mum drives a massive 4x4 to drop off the kids to school, is a vegetarian, and is rich through financial broker parents, then I hate that sort of thing.
Essex is a weird area where the ridiculously wealthy, and the pretty poor co-exist together.
yes, i do agree
the actual really posh accent i do find a bit ridiculous and stifling, but yes, they'd be interesting to speak to in cf. to the chap you're describing
yeah, what part of essex are you from? i'm from chelmsford, but have lived in london for one third of my life, so i can disown essex now
Southend
which changes from one of the scummiest places in England to streets and streets of £750,000 houses in the space of five minutes. Still, the seafront is lovely.
I've only ever been to Chelmsford a couple of times, it's quite nice - bit quiet though!
my dad grew up there
but haven't been for ages. i love seaside towns.
is there much to do?
chelmsford - yes, apparently the 8th best place to live in england according to phil and kirstie. when they had the live countdown, lots of people phoned up from chelmsford disagreeing with them. but yes, it is basically really nice, but slightly souless.
Well
it has the seaside, the longest pier in the world, a theme park which gets worse every year, the high street filled with womens clothes shops and two starbucks, the bowling alley which is situated in some skag heap.
The best part of Phil and Kirsties poll, was this - http://youtube.com/watch?v=zdBuDSEokz0
gah, i'm at work so can't see it
what is it?
it has the longest pier in the world? awesome. yeah, i know peter pan's playground from my childhood. haven't they gradually fenced off more and more of it. it's probably never gonna be as bad as 'dreamland' in margate, which last time i went, had a massive NSPCC poster pasted above the front entrance
it was a memorable rant
from a Sports presenter about them picking Middlesbrough as the worst place to live. Where do you work?
press cuttings
editor in the City area
it's lame, but i get a week off every other week
are you a student?
starting in september
moving to the big smoke hopefully - just wondered what job would require you to be in at this time!
if only
i might move south so i can be edgy and threatening.
I love Northern accents
unless they're so strong you cannae understand them. There's a Geordie lass I know who's accent is well fit, and therefore so is she, just by association!
i hate having a cockney-esque common accent
scottish
but not glaswegian
Northern Irish
:(
One of the best
Straight, no chaser
Sexy
damn you beat me to it
oh for fucks sake.
here i was,thinking i was original,when all of a sudden.pip posts the exact same thing 9 mins beforehand.
:(
haha never saw that
pretty non-regional.
apart from i say "dAnce" and "grAss" not "darnce" and "graaass", so you can tell i'm not from the south.
it took me AGES to work out what you were saying with this post
IRON MAN?
:'D
Quite northern
definitely can tell I'm from Leeds I think.
northern or
geordie to the ears of anyone not familiar with the subtleties of accents within the region itself.

fit (accent that is)
on girls
and boys
don't make me post alan sheaarer again
love geordie

^this is actually me doing voiceovers
meh
no one cares
and why should they quite frankly
I got excited when I clicked the link
and briefly thought you'd done voiceovers on degrassi high
an ex-boyfriend impressed me
when he told me he had played the clever indian kid on degrassi high. he was canadian too, so it was kind of believable. and then later he confessed he said it to win me over. sadly, it worked.
I'm actually quite posh :(
Once, as I was getting off my school coach (horse-drawn), someone said to me "Why do you speak like that?". "Like what?" I asked, and he said "With a plum in your mouth". I cried all the way home :'(
Horrible,
Derbyshire accent which probably makes me sound incredibly stupid. I really don't like my accent and it also annoys me that at university I've apparently got a "northern" accent when it's clearly east midlands, just the stupid southern bastards don't seem to realise the midlands exist :(
olrate duck?
Yeah but without the duck bit,
thank god. I hate people going, "eh up mi duck." seriously do I look like some small waterfowl that quacks? No, thought not, so don't fucking call me it then!
*Wasn't meant at you personally,
just at people in general who actually say duck in every day conversation.
haha don't worry.
i come from chesterfield, i've had my experience with the derbyshire accent but i don't have one.
wanna cuppa tea youf?
No, ta.
Unlucky on being from Ches-vegas, it's a bit of a shithole to be honest. Still I suppose there are worse places, like Ripley and Heanor *shudders*.
it is very much a shithole.
i am SO glad i'm never going to live there ever again. freedom tastes sweet.
Midlands, eh?
Where's midlands?
my derbyshire accent
is slowly morphing into a leeds one. I like to have the leeds one in derbyshire, and the derbyshire one in leeds, just to be different.
Stick with the Leeds accent,
it's infinitely better than a Derbyshire accent ever will be.
to be more specific
it's ashbourne, so it's different from a derby accent. but horrifically inbred.
I'm just gonna say Irish
Glaswegian
but more Belle & Sebastian instead of the Fratellis.
also top 5 accents.
my first romance was with a boy from glasgow :)
hi!
;)

David Seaman
great accent
thick and gorgeous
just like his hair
