My favorite British accent is still the Geordie. I had a class mate from Newcastle that no one could understand. I often found myself translating (the little bit that I understood) for my other British friends. When ever they needed an actor to play a troll (Tolkien was big that year) someone would always say "I know, lets get Duncan to play the role!". I notice that in movies they tend to use what seems to be a "east London" accent for trolls, orc's etc. [:D]

Did you just use the word "bloke"? I don't believe you're strictly speaking allowed to, not being of the British persuasion...[:'(]

Originally British, and like the Canadians, the Aussies are still basically Brits, what with the Queen on their currency and whatnot...

Well....mostly because the Brits shipped a huge number of their nastier Irishmen to Oz...it was a sort of penal colony.

I did. I can't do a Brit accent, so I have to try Brit words. [:'(]
