I'll have to try that - I can do a superb Irish accent

I've still got a long way to go to outdo a friend of mine - a few years ago, a group of us went out on the piss in England, and someone decided that it would be fun if we all talked with a foreign accent (hey, we were young, stupid and drunk...) for the evening...

Anyway, our friend Ian decided that he would be Dutch for the evening, and put on the most appaling Dutch accent. We ended up in a club, and start talking to a bunch of what we hope are young, single and loose women. We introduce Ian as "Iaian from Holland"

One of the girls starts talking to him in fluent Dutch - it turns out that her father is Dutch, and is a pilot in the Dutch Air Force

Ian, without missing a beat, replies "Ahha, no, I am in England - I must speak only the English language properly!"

It worked!!!! The bastard got laid as well!
