brittish accents

smokingrobot · #1 09-07-2005, 12:56 AM

got off the phone with customer service at a site and the girl was brittish. i thought about keeping her on longer just to chat or something. ask her some random questions like, how many 5 yr olds she could beat down etc etc. i dont know... the accent is nice and soothing.

anyone?

Yeah I agree. There are 2 brits in one of my classes, and I always hope they will participate so I can hear them talk.

Only girls though, the dudes just end up sounding like pretentious a-holes.

Exactly. I spent a couple weeks on England and by the third day I was ready to poke my eyes out listening to that high-pitched jibberish.

The chicks did not annoy me though.

Ha. My ex-girlfriend used to say only the dudes have nice accents and the girls end up sounding like pretentious bitches.
