I've been discussing accents with a friend this week. In particular, how certain accents are sexy.

I like British accents, though not all British accents appeal (can't say I like a Scouse accent or a Geordie one but that's because I can't actually understand what they're saying LOL). But a Hugh Grant or Daniel Craig kind of accent and I'm all a quiver.

I once went out with an Irishman and I loved his accent (and his ability to hold his booze LOL). He could charm the knickers off me just by saying a few words LOL.

I also had a mad crush on a French flatmate when I lived in London. The way he said my name was so sexy and alluring, though he could've just said the capital cities of Europe and I'd have been just as enamoured.

I also love Italian/Spanish/Portuguese accents.

I don't think I have a very "thick" New Zealand accent (no Lyn of Tawa here) but it is a noticeable accent. (If you want to hear a voice that is a "kiwi" voice, click here, check out New Zealand Two and you'll hear something to similar to my voice).

When I lived overseas people thought I was Australian (so much for thinking I had a smooth dulcet tone of voice LOL). Or they'd think I'd be asking for a "pin", when I was wanting a "pen". Though after years of travelling and living abroad, I did return home with a different accent (my sister said I sounded posh LOL).
