Just returned from a ten day Ireland trip. While reading (I believe) the Irish Independent, I came across an incisive hard-hitting article about the results of a "sexiest accent" poll done in your part of the globe in which Ireland won out (yay!) based mostly, they speculated,  on the influence of Colin Farrell. 
The other categories they mentioned in passing were Scot, Welsh, West Country, Brummies, Geordies, and something called "posh English." I obviously know what Scot and Welsh are, but wtf are Brummies and Geordies? And Posh English?  Not absolutely sure about West Country either...the whole west country, or just part of the west? I'm confused. Can someone explain these to me?

Brummies?! Thats awful! The worst accent ever! Folk from Birmingham..
or Bewmingam as they would say!
Geordies are cheeky chappies from Liverpool
Think Cooch Booch (ch like in german ich)
Posh english is like Hugh Grant and LOTR movies.
"Oh supa, dahling! Do have some more tea!"
SCOTLAND!!!!! We are the bestest! All the charm of Ireland only we dont blow/shoot each other up!!

There's not a lot of blowing/shooting each other up going on in the Republic, unless you count the drug gangs in Dublin.

So can you give me an example of someone from Birmingham? And Geordie would be like the Beatles, right?
And Hugh Grant is Posh? I thought he was just goofy.

And the splinter terrorist groups?  They make the news here every other day along with that Ian Paisley.
You should come to Scotland. We have trees and hills and booze too!

I think Ian Paisley is originally of Scottish extraction.

Oh, and Billy Boyd would be fun to go drinking with, but he doesn't do much for me in the sex appeal department. I would probably just get roaring drunk and ask him to sing.
Ewan MacGregor might be a bit more of an enticement for me.

Well I would snuggle a Hobbit, just not shag one.  Billy Boyd would be my ultimate drinking buddy. A good night out with him would result in me getting fingerprinted and a body cavity search if I was unlucky

We formally refuse to acknowledge the origins of Ian Paisley. Ireland has him now and they can keep him!
I cant thin of anyone famous from Birmingham... Oh the pain!

Ireland doesn't want him either.  I'm pretty sure his ancestors were trucked over during the Plantation era to try and anglicize Ireland.

I'd be happy to take Sean Connery off your hands my dear Scottish lass. There is just something when he says - Pussy. Pussy Galore.
