Excuse me madam, do you want to go to the ball with me?
Sir, not that way sir, this way sir.
Excuse me for a minute sir, but i have to use the restroom. Mr.Buckle and Mrs.Cackle, pardon me.

Also, when it comes to politics, how is it hanging :)
You need more Winston Churchill, England needs it :)

Very few Brits talk like that as it happens, but no it's generally only foreigners who enjoy "The Queens English." Those of us in the south generally speak like that, then it gets a bit broader in London, then as you go further north it gradually gets more and more unintelligible until you finally get to Scotland where whatever the hell they speak sure isn't English.

Do Americans cream themselves when the local bandits ride into town on horseback and have duels with each other? I mean, it's a real shame when they walk into a bar and everyone has to leave. Rude... but hey, I suppose that's the price you pay for sifting for gold.

Basically, when I see a gun I'll have a huge boner for at least 16 hours. The bandits duels are actually more of a southern fetish scene, but many of it just need to see a Guns&Ammo magazine and that's all.

Do you still spit tobacky, though? I think that's what's called.

Southern fetish scene, again. Around these parts people just smoke through their buttholes.

I know coming from my hometown (not Nashville. My actual hometown), people thought my accent was just SO ADORBS.

Even after I got rid of it and moved to Phoenix, people could still tell...

And now.... I've caught myself slipping back into it lately and it drives me nuts. YAAAAYYY for being a "hillbilly" in NYC!! xD

EDIT: I'm also forgetting my Mexican. -_-; Slowly.

Cracking show, chaps. Now then Mr. Niale, don't concern your good self with all this rip-roaring jabber about us Brits not talking in such a spiffing way. We bloody do and it's marvellous! Why, I'm snorting a line of crushed up scones even as we speak now old boy! Pip pip to the mothersmurfing max and word up to your rather benevolent lord of the manor, good gentlemizzle.

One does not cream oneself at anything. How uncouth.

I didn't know the owner of Eyes on Final Fantasy was a xenophobe and a bigot.

I didn't think the phrasing in the title was appropriate for a message board that's supposed to be "family friendly" at the owner's request, so I changed it.

And they totally do. There's no way they can't appreciate an accent like that.

Is this where I put on the true blue Aussie accent? Maybe 1% of our population even speaks anything anywhere remotely similar to Crocodile Dundee or Steve Irwin. No, dingoes do not make a habit of spiriting away babies. Carrying weapons on your person is a distinctly non-Australian thing: we're more likely to just punch you in the face or rip off a thong and slap you to death (and that's the footwear kind of thong fyi).

This troll pic of black MJ sums up my feelings.

There was this British guy in my line producing class in college who would talk about nothing just to hear the sound of his voice. He had beautiful blue eyes and luxurious dark curls...maybe I should find him on facebook.

One of my favorite customers is a proper British mum. I love her accent though. Super "Queen's English" as it was called earlier, so I suppose it's fair to say I fall into the category of "all Americans love a proper English accent" or whatever that mess was.

I also appreciate a Scottish accent so long as it's legible! :3

And Aussie girls are instantly more attractive most of the times they open their mouths. Not always though. West country is... less desirable.

What's that? I can't hear you over your commoner accent.

Poshest EoFFers going by voice/accent at EoFF are Wishing Star (super old school member), Chaos (old school member) and Ravan (very new member). More so the first two, admittedly, but the way Ravan pronounces Ul'dah and Gridania is amazing.

You're damn right I cream myself when I speak, but it's not a British thing. It's a Quin thing. Not only do I piss excellence, but I shit magnificence, fart glory, burp wonderment and weep humility and wisdom.

Fuck me, I'm spectacular.
