    I hate having a British accent. I want something exciting!

    hahah, I am English (I live in London bruv, and we speak proper English, innit?) but actually lived most of my life in Sydney and I can't tell you how much I wanted to get rid of my Aussie accent and get back to the English Twang...

    When I speak to Australian's now, they don't even realise I am from Sydney, when I talk to English people I don't know, they ask me where abouts in Australia I come from.

    I have no idea how I sound....I go home to Sydney for the first time in 4 years in 3 weeks time, so I'm assuming they are all going to say I don't sound Aussie anymore! (Hoorah! haha)

    I love Aussie accents! It's just so relaxed and it sounds happy. If that makes sense! I think I sound common but have been told I'm quite posh haha load of b*****ks

    Absolutley no offence taken, it's boring as sh*te, but it's filmed in Sydney so it's a little bit of home when I'm feeling homesick...I have considered watching with the mute button on though, so I don't have to hear the god awful squawking accent haha!

    Ohh you're a CBomb Girl...you naughty thing! LOL, I'm not a CBomber but I do use the F word a bit too much - I am trying to reign that in though haha!

    I've noticed a lot of Americans think a "British" accent means talking like the queen. English characters in American films are usually Eton-educated Hugh Grant foppy-types with country estates and a butler. Watch EastEnders. That's how I sound! I rarely come across people who speak the Queen's English.

    O'right laaaav! x

    Now the Irish- wow- had one Irish friend and Iiterally had no clue what he was talking about. The closest I can come to comparing it to someone in the states was the time I was in Louisiana and tried to understand a Cajun. I had no clue.

    Hey! I'm half- Irish, born & raised in cajun country, married to a said cajun, & lemme tell ya sha, I dunno whats you talkin bout, no!
