I'm working on having an accent like Super Intendant Foyle's. Takes a bit of practice, but it's worth every penny, honestly:

plus you'll get some girls as bonus if you manage to make it reasonably good

But Americans will keep on at you to do Austin Powers lines.

Blimey, I quite clearly have mistook the effect of an improper conduct on my own memorandum - which is not fair, I wonder, from the behaviour you yourself seem keen to thrust forward.

I actually met an old English friend today (he's an expat). Although he's quite good at Portuguese, we ended up in a bungling conversation, which was weird, since we all know a bit about each other. That brought me to the idea that you can write fairly well in a foreign language, and still be an idiot when you're trying to speak the damned thing.

I like these accents.

What's that Welsh one? I like that. I also like Scottish ones. Most, actually. I'm sure you guys (who are actually from the areas where those accents are from) think I am ridiculous.

I like accents in general, to be honest. I wish I could speak them all.

I like any of the UK ones, except maybe Welsh (but Tom Jones sounds alright). The Aussie accent bothers me at times.

- the question at the end of every sentence bothers me about the Aussies, but not the actual accent.Wolfboy

Probably, most English native-speakers do not feel the thrill of speaking in a different language, since everything has become so much about their language. But it's actually quite funny when you realise how different languages are so close and knit together.

there are a few British accents that are pure finger nails down the black board. In no particular order: Brumie, Glaswegian, Geordie (who the fuck thought it was acceptable to let that crowd do the link announcements on TV?) and of course not forgetting the monstrosity that is the scouse accent.

Mate, I don't put a question at the end of every sentence now, do I?

So, what type of accent would be Mr. Foyle's? There's some twist to that actor, I gather.

I bet Spooky speaks like Foyle somewhat. And Nairn too. Quite useless to fool me right now. Couldn't happen.
- Well ones a Brummie and the other is Scottish... so I don't think so :PJnr_Madison

- I am 99% sure he is Scottish.Jnr_Madison
