I'm surprised it already isn't a techno song.

Crap, guys. You're making me feel bad about not doing it. |the kid| There.

Who cares about the right hammer?! The question is "do you have a really BIG hammer?!" *crazy smile & laugh*

Pail!!! (pun & fail. See how annoying bad jokes are?)

66 All I can see is someone being obnoxious.

Well a British accent could be any one of these. But it doesn't have to be all of these at once just to be called a British accent. Stop being self righteous.

Shut up, wanker (aka #40). Also, why the hell did you list East, West, and Far West Irish under British accents? That's not part of Britain, or the UK for that matter, you imperialist minded cockhead.

Way to be pedantic, you spontaneously combustible bag of dicks.

Not nearly as much as your head and whatever situation gave you enough time to look all that up and become capable of recognizing all those subtly different accents Also: #49 - that is one of the best insults I've ever heard/read. Congratulations

@40, You missed my accent too. If you're going to do a list like that, do it right!

I agree. I hate when people say "British accent" without clarifying which bloody one. In North Wales, each town has a different one XD

I agree. There's no British accent. Hopefully the stupid Americans can understand it's not a country... Unlikely...

@114: By all acceptable definitions, the UK is considered a country, as it is a sovereign state. England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland are also considered countries. By the way, I'm American. |the kid|

#48 I listed the Irish accents because they are part of the British Isles. Ergo, they can be considered to be British under the definition I was using. But the imperialist part, nah. Really, no. #67 I do really have far too much time on my hands. It's got nothing to do with the fact I've been studying drama for the past 8 years, got Grade 8 acting at LAMDA, and absolutely nothing to do with the fact that I actually live in England, and have moved about 30 times in my life to completely different areas. Also, I've never heard anyone refer to a Geordie as being subtle.

#77 Guessing Mancunian or Scouse? Or Glaswegian? My phone had a typing limit, couldn't do them all. #114 True, Great Britain is a sovereign state, but it's actually got 5 countries in (QI fact for the day): Cornwall's also technically it's own country. But that's no reason for suggesting that they all have the same accent. Would you say that a Texan and someone from Jersey sound the same? That they both have the same accent? No. Or at least, I don't think you would...

156 -- No, I wasn't suggesting that everyone has the same dialect. However, all American accents fall under the, well, American category. It's not too hard to figure out. That said, all the countries within the UK may be autonomous, but they all fall under the same jurisdiction. The English, Scots, Welsh, and Northern Irish all join the Royal Army, have the same queen, etc.

They all have their own parliaments... And Scotland are campaigning for independence (or at least, they were before they realised their economic dependence on England). Also, telling a Scot that he had a British accent, for wont of a better analogy (not many places on your continent), would be like saying to a Canadian that they have a North American accent. The further into Scotland that you get, the more fiercely independent the people get. Except for St Andrews, but that's a small exception. Also, in general, people in Britain can be very territorial about where in the country they come from. So it's unwise to come to the UK and tell everyone that they have a British accent. Much like it's unwise to call a Texan a Yank.
