    Ahhhh, yeah, I have to admit, I do have some trouble with RF's Geordie accent at times. But to be honest, it's a combination of the accent, slang, and his being so soft spoken that gets me.

    No offence to any southerners on the board, but when I went to florida, that damn southern accent drove me crazy. Very nice people but the way they talked made me want to kill someone.

    I like the british accent...

    Europeans have accents?
