We had a band come in from Spain once and they all spoke in Catlan (sp?)...it was the most remarkable sounding accent I had ever heard...or seemed so at the time..

Yeah, that. Actually, Basque is spoken in Spain too, very close to where Catalan is spoken, in northern Spain.
The Basque Country is in Southwest France and Northwest Spain. My Basque Grandfather came from Hendaye, France. I come from a long line of sailors and smugglers. My uncle use to tell me this everytime I saw him. He didn't want me to forget... and I haven't.
There is hearsay of gypsy blood from my Eastern European side...(dad's)...only hearsay...
Here I am playing my annual gig at a small music fest...it is most likely ok if I mention here that the kid on stage with me singing backups is diagnosed on the spectrum, I was told....He is a neat kid...

First I have to thank Alex, not only for creating WP, but this thread. This thread has been absolutely amazing in giving an insight on the personalities and lives of people just like me. I went through this whole thread, all 84 pages, and was amazed at how many people are exactly like me in how they speak, and it was very interesting seeing the passion in their voice for their special interests. A few peoples videos stuck out for me. Also too, these videos showed just how intelligent Aspies are.
hale_bopp, your videos are great, and you have such a nice accent. MONKEY, you also have a nice cockney accent. Being from the US, I never really hear these kinds of accents. poopylungstuffing, you seem very sweet and your videos are quite interesting. Strapples, your videos are interesting too, and I hope everything goes well for you. Manolito_Mystiq, that video of you remembering pi to the 400th digit knocked my socks off. That is a perfect example of what the Aspie brain is capable of. I liked sarbear1987's video mainly because she is so damn cute. And the video that stuck out the most for me was from themainmeal. He talks about instead of asking "how are you?" in greeting an Aspie, the better thing to ask is "what are your current interests?" That stuck out in my mind so much, because it's so true.

You're absolutely right, she definitely isn't a cockney. Don't mind me, I'm a dumb American.
A good example of a cockney accent would be Miss Brahms from Are You Being Served. She actually sounds more like Onslow from Keeping up Appearances. I quite enjoy the Brit coms.
