I believe Dubya is from Texas, or there abouts.... and i think that makes my point without my having to say another word 
No amount of money, status, power or accent is going to make a person more attractive to me if they have an amoeba for a brain 
So.... rather than accent.... and if we disregard what's actually being said too..... i suppose i'm very much attracted to the tone/timbre/nature of someone's voice.... more than the accent..... i've sat transfixed while listening to someone's voice before and i'm sure i'm not the only person who's become infatuated with someone i've only ever spoken to on the telephone

I reckon you are trying to wind me up after that mad South African woman I got involved with, it wouldn't take you long to get bored of her saying "nooo nooo nooo" I thought she was trying to impersonate the dog on the chuchill advert.
Also her calling everything "Thingy" got on my nerves after a while.
On top of that she wouldn't make any decisions about anything until she consulted the bible, and she had the cheek to say that I took too much notice of others and should do my own thing.
Tip kink, if you fancy a South African stay away from the religious ones, and keep your eye on your bank balance!
I did pick up a few usefull words Afrikan, Xhosa and Shona......
Like Lekkerrrrrrrrrr
and Footsack
I doubt you will find those in any translation guide though!
