Yeup Sabz, that sounds like us lol I know I'm guilty of meeting Irish guys and rambling on about anything and everything for as long as I can, just to keep them talking. The Irish accent is so damn heavenly mA
You may shoot me with your words,
You may cut me with your eyes,
You may kill me with your hatefulness,
But still, like air, I'll rise.

Anyone who likes 'the Birmingham accent' needs their head examining. It's regarded as the most boring accent in England- ever heard the term 'Brian, the boring brummie'?
There's a number of different accents in London, depending upon where one lives.
I don't know any brits who find the american, canadian, or australian accents appealing. I think most prefer the French accent.

The dudley accent is the most amusing accent
The reason death sticks so closely to life isn't biological necessity, it's envy. Life is so beautiful that death has fallen in love with it

I have to agree, it's the most extreme version of the Birmingham accent. "I'm from Dudd-layaeee"

Aussie accents sound better if they come with washboard abs and possibly a surf board.
Even within London there are lots of different accents. There's cockney, for example, which is terrible. I feel like my accent is neutral.. I love Manchester accents!
I generally find American accents annoying and especially Texan accents. I have cousins that live in Texas and when we talk on the phone I keep thinking 'come on!! Stop speaking so slowly'.

Also, Glaswegian accents are the hottest of the British accents.

It's all about the Mexican accent!
I'm sorry if my insensitivity toward your beliefs offends you. But guess what - your religious wars, jihads, crusades, inquisitions, censoring of free speech, brainwashing of children, murdering of albinos, forcing girls into underage marriages, female genital mutilation, stoning, pederasty, homophobia, and rejection of science and reason offend ME. So I guess we're even.

Sounds nightmarish

I think it was meant to symbolize that he is, in fact, a meadow as well and his chest is at one with the earth. The picture was meant to show you that the man, like the beatuiful meadow, is nurturing and will give you many offspring His hairiness in a meadow may also be there to show you that, under his humanness, he is also an animal Rawr.
Ah the beauty of art!
