    I heavily recall a voice conversation between you, myself, Quin and Psy in which all our vocal skills were shown off. You've already had your West Country accent proof from him ;]

    I'm fairly accentless, I've been told
    I made one myself for a change! Although you can probably tell that..

    I've been told I do a reasonably passable British accent, which is probably because I've spent about six months of my life in Britain, plus I listen to an absurd amount of British comedy. However I'm rubbish at distinguishing individual British accents, though I can obviously tell Received Pronunciation from Cockney. Actual Brits could probably tell my faux accent from the real thing.

    I'm pretty rubbish at other accents. I do a tolerable imitation of Tom Lehrer's faux-Irish and faux-Russian accents on "The Irish Ballad" and "Lobachevsky" respectively, but I doubt those are particularly authentic accents.

    I've been told I have a "Florida accent", whatever that means. There are probably at least four different accents in Florida and I kind of have a mix of all of them.

    I have a couple of natural accents I suppose. There's the everyday "Lahdahn Town!" accent which is only something I use to either make Paul and Dan laugh or if I'm dealing with the local idiots. There's what I consider my normal accent which is relatively posh English accent (note not British, I'm neither Welsh nor Scottish and nor do I tend to speak in their accents I am English and speak with an English accent)

    Accents I can impersonate relatively well:

    Irish I can actually pass for a native in Ireland if I had to. The number of St Paddy's day drinks I've been to where the only safe people in the pub are Irish and I've been taken for one is astounding, you just have to remember some Irish geography so that when asked about where you're from you can say "Oh I'm from <insert Irish place name, remember to be sure it's southern or northern depending on the bar and people in it at time> but I moved here when I was young, still me family keeps me speaking in the accent"

    I have been known to do a fairly impressive Sunderland/Geordie accent on occasion comes through better when out drinking or around my Geordie/Sunderlander colleagues

    Australian, I'm learning slowly to my horror that my housemates and many Australian and Kiwi friends through them are fast infecting me and I'm beginning to even sound like them. This is a cancer which must be stopped.

    American, I can do generic neutral American I can also do a pretty good "southern accent" though I don't always pronounce things right in the southern accent and thus get given away easily.

    French, I can do a pretty convincing french accent apart from that at times I can be under-nasal to get the right sound and I don't roll my R's cause I can't.

    I've been mistaken for a South African a couple of times, I don't see how myself but it's never been a bad thing to get confused for in the situations I have been in where it has happened. Once it saved me getting a big black angry South African kicking off at me when I was 16. It has also saved me from a couple of bar fights started between British people and South African's in Rugby World Cups. It also has gotten me laid the once, the girl was pretty drunk at the time though and she did go "oh wow, I thought you were a Saffer last night when I spoke to you...still good fun though" next morning.

    Yeah there's definitely a Californian accent. And it's horrific.
