Okay, I was just on my lunch break, and was watching a movie with my parents on TMN (the movie network). It was a scottish movie, about a teenaged boy who tries to help his mom get out of jail, but ends up getting mixed up with the wrong sort (somthing along those lines, anyways).
The funniest part, was that it was ALL subtitled. Their accents were so strong, that the only things you could make out were the names, and f**k! (which was every other word) It was so funny, my parents and I were all in stitches from laughing so much!
It was pretty crazy

lol the Acid house is like that to. But I don't have to read the subtitles I can normally understand them
In the 60's people took acid to make the world weird, now the world is weird and they take prozac to make it normal again.

You can't beat lads' Scottish accents, they're even better than Irish.

Actually, now that I think of it, I think the subs may have made it more difficult.. Kept trying to associate the words to what I was reading!!

i'd love to see that movie!!! i love subtitles!! i once saw a movie that had english subtitles, and had clearly been dubbed!! the words coming out of the actors mouths (completely out of sync mind you!) were chinese, but it was obviously (the movie was listed as) japanese!!!! funny stuff! lucky there wasn't much of a storyline to follow!!!!
do not meddle in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and good to eat!
if at first you do succeed, try not to look too astonished!
smile! :grin: it confuses people!

i'm usually fine with accents, except for a friend of mum's with a really strong scottish accent. when she calls, i hear the accent and say "mum, i think its sheena cos i can't understand her!"
then there was the accent of my (then) best friend's aunt in n. ireland when i would call her over there. it was fine if my friend was there, but i was worried about thet day she might be out and i wouldnt be able to understand that she wasnt there!
ok, so maybe im not as good at accents as i thought
i would have changed ***** to phallus, and claire to petey Petey

By far the sexiest accent for a girl is the Northern Irish accent....
Probably because the Northern Irish accents are like a cross between Scottish and Irish accents.

Aha! After much searving (two mins.) I found the movie!!
It's Sweet Sixteen as seen here.
That was the movie... Just got to the part where he's being tested by the drug lord type people, and they try to get him to kill someone, and just as he;s about to do it, they spring up on him, and tell him it was only a test. Then they burn his house down or something? Or maybe it was his friend? I can't remember!

hehe, aw yes acents are sexy, when i saw the Boondock Saints (which has heavy irish acents) it was on a tv which is somehow set to always have subtitles, its usually annoying, but in this instance it was very helpful, theres something like 8 languages spoken in that movie >>>>luv
if you think that our kiss was all in the lips, come on you got it all wrong man, and if you think that our dance was all in the hips then, oh well, do the twist -The White Stripes

I fixed it now, though. No more annoying subtitles!

It's funny, people always love Scottish and Irish accents but you never hear anyone going "I just love the English accent, it's so sexy"

also norfolk ones are nice, but cockney just sounds silly. (sorry to all londoners who i just offended.)
I had a dream that my friend had a
strong-bad pop up book,
it was the book of my dreams.
