Liverpudlian is a ghastly, chippy whine.

La, la, la! I'm not listening.

How can you not know if you sound like a Beatle? :(

Whad'aboot Canadian accents? Sexy eh?!
Oh...just heard myself talk...I guess not :(

Noone likes a Finck accent. :(

Or a Curt accent.

HATE Scottish. Especially Frankie Boyle's accent. When I hear him talk, it makes me want to kill.

Welsh and South African, I find quite funny and endearing.

Queens, New York accent - I can't get enough of. :D If anyone has heard Cyndi Lauper speak, you will know what I mean. It's hilarious.

It's OK Finck I like German accents. There my favorite accents to mimic from movies.

Laughing out loud Yes I know what you mean. I think it's also a Jewish New Yorker thing.

It makes me want to hump his leg. I can barely stay in my seat.

I heard your accent in the flesh, Finckel! And liked it. Was smexy. (don't be jealous guys.)

I like Canadian and American ones too. (except the one in Fargo.)

I used to go out with a Canadian. I like the accent - it's gentle.

Did you hear the accent at the beginning of the evening or the one at the end?

Some of my family and friends back north sound like the Fargo folk.
Anyone ever watch the comedian Russell Peters? He's got a thing on Indian accents and Canadian accents that is pretty funny..and tragically true.
Edited:
Just found the sketch. Here it is.

Laughing out loud Never heard it called gentle before. But I like that. :)

:) Well, they'd make me laugh at least....? ;)

I think I've heard that stand up before.
Welsh and Indian are weirdly similar too.

I went to Montreal a couple of months ago, and obviously I knew that the people there speak French. But WOW I didn't think it was to the extent where it's the first language and you get dirty looks for speaking English. It was like being in France again, which is not somewhere I wanted to be again.
