I have this bizarro conglomerate of south, north, New York, German and even slightly canadian. OH and I pronounce a few words british too, but not overtly so. *LOL* I am THE hodgepodge! *L*

if I go anywhere people seem to know I'm from NY (even overseas) but I think that's just because it's a good guess. And then it's either the city or the Hamptons. There's nothing in between.

I'm 25 years Connecticut and New York, fuckhead ... I'm just about 8 years here ...
People KNOW where I'm from ...
Especially when I get mad, like Emma ...
There's NO "southern drawl" in me ...
I didn't say a thing about you having an accent, I was referring to where you are located geographically. As in: My accent is mild enough to be noticeable only when I travel that far away.
SIDENOTE: How long has Emma been here?!
SIDENOTE RETRACTION: Never mind...it says right under her name...

I can't hide my birthplace from a lot of people here, actually ...
Oh, oi ken doo tha akshent mayte... if oi neeed tooo....
Generally I dont though. But non Australians (except Kiwi's, Poms, & Suid Afrikaans) would hear it, and ask if it was British. I was asked a number of times in the US if I was British (I am by birth, but thats beside the point).
Funniest accent question I got in the US was when I was asked if I was from Nebraska, with a totally straight face.
Oh my goodness, your accent is the fucking BEST! seriously, I told one of my girlfriends that you sounded nice and put you on loud speaker without you knowing and she went weak at the knees! You know I love it!
My accent, Ok, Ian... am I right in saying its kinda posh with a bit of cockney in there now and again.
I say 'Barf' instead of 'bath' and 'Whurah' instead of 'Water'.
