No offence, but I don't particularly like the American accent. There are a few variations of it that I don't mind, though, but they are generally the ones with less 'ompf'. The same with the English, especially with the Posh English accent, jesus it pisses me off. I honestly want to deck anyone I hear with such an accent. It just sounds, so, arrogant. However! I absolutely ADORE the German and Russian accents, not to mention their language! I fall in love with anyone who speaks in such a way. To a lesser extent, I also like the Irish accent, though ironically, I prefer the rough-Irish accent with a real Gaelic pang to it.

As for the Aussie accent, I don't notice it, obviously. But I'm often told by foreigners that my accent is so pronounced it's not funny. Though I am glad the whole of Australia speaks similarly, I'd not take kindly to having different states (like the US) have their own signature accents.
