I love listening to a Cockney accent,though I never understand WTF they are saying.

Fucking 100% this.
The Irish in general, but the Cork folk have the best accents.
-
The answer to questions like this is always Yorkshiremen.

I am from Texas and don’t have an accent and I work with a guy from Yorkshire.He does have a cool accent but I have a hard time understanding him most of the time. I do like some of the British sayings like if I am joking I will say I was Bullshitting but he will say he was taking the piss.That always gets a laugh out of me.

An English expression 100 % if i remember correctly as a boy growing up in Scotland we said "are you taking the pish " just another term for piss

yes i was in the North of England a few times, decent people.
I come from Central Scotland. I actually liked people from London too & had some good times there.

Cool, I have never been there but I would love to see that area before I’m gone

Hawk Tuah a southern twang for a female is sexy as hell Tennessee is a great accent

I might throw a couple of nominations from left field.
Obviously I'm Australian so I'd give it an honourable mention. Wouldn't say it's the coolest but if you find yourself anywhere in the englist speaking world besides Australia or New Zealand you'll be able to box above your weight as far as charming the ladies...
But my 2 would be the boston accent since it's rather unique as far as US accents go. It interestingly has something in common with Aussie accents even though they sound so different - namely is has a non rhotic r at the end of the word - which is to say we don't roll the r at the end of a word. So to other English speaking people it sounds like - for example 'helicoptaa' not helicopter and Bee-a not beer.
The second one is the newfoundland accent. I've heard it a handful of times and depending on who they are they sound like a weird and inconsistent mix of a middle irish accent and a canadian one. Again perhaps not coolest but quite unique.

My least favorite: Philadelphia (marbles in mouths, I feel like I need a hearing aid). Not crazy about Chicago (thee-ank you). Don’t care for New Zealand especially.
I agree Boston is sort of cool, and certain Southern USA accents. Get tired of listening to Indians (from India) speaking English. Love to hear French people speak English.

Brooklyn accent is the worst.

Limerick and Clare (counties in Ireland)

I was in Belgium and a guy who turned out to be from Glasgow asked me something, and I asked if he could speak English.

ironically the glasgow accent is one of the easier to understand, easy to pick due to how much they stretch the vowels. Mind you my whole family is from scotland. There are some parts of scotland (I think somewhere around dundee or maybe the firth of forth but could be off a good distance) where the accent is so thick even people from Endinburgh and to a lesser extent Glasgow can struggle to understand them. If you want a real head trip visit the outer hebrides. The accent is softer (to my ears since it's closer to my relatives) but most of the people out there are still fluent in scottish gaelic whic sounds odd to English speakers to say the least. It's on my bucket list to head out there.

I'm half-Scottish and used to live in Glasgow when I lived in the UK, and I still don't understand some of the fuckers there. I find Dundee and Aberdeen accents to be easier. Outer Hebrides doesn't even sound human, lol.

Agree on Tennessee but accents are a total matter of taste. I actually have a fond spot for deep Brooklyn. Also like Black American accents. The discussion of Scotland above is interesting but it is hard to evaluate. My only exposure is movies (e.g., Local Hero) where I absolutely need the English subtitles. Otherwise I might as well be watching a movie in Russian.

I like Southern accents. Blacks have a version of Southern in most places. I am talking accent here! Not grammar and semantics. Another example: I enjoy listening to Blacks in NYC who have some Brooklyn mixed in.

Make sure she's asleep when logging on here. ;D

If you meet a broad there named Karen, think twice before sucking her tits.

Outer Hebridean English sounds weird but really nice though. It's very soft. And their version of Gaelic sounds like it has a Welsh rhythm to it that is also nice.

Out of interest have you ever heard Manx spoken. I know it's technically a dead language undergoing an attempted revival with the last native speaker passing away some decades ago, but there's a substantial amount of it recorded thank to the last few native speakers that serves as a reference for the pronunciation and a body of written works too. I've heard it once on youtube and I can speak some scottish gaelic (about enough to chat uo a girl or ask for directions or start a fight) and I felt i was able to understand more of it than irish which is more considerably different nowadays..
