Of course those are now the 250 pound seats but hey, it's an old expression
If so, you're sure to recognize perhaps the most distinctive voice on Earth...
Brother R.G. Stair of Overcomer Ministries.
Back in his heyday that voice could be heard anywhere on the planet.
(added the rising question mark? in honour of the winners?)
Been to Oz, never been to NZ, and unlikely at this stage of my life to go unless / until the teleporter invented in time (tick tock, inventors, stir your stumps)
Lots of Eastern Europeans sound like they want to kill you
As for the Irish accent coming in high, as was pointed out before, there are so many different accents here, only foreigners can hear a generic Irish accent.
Plus, the people whose accents they said they liked, also happen to be goodlooking, eg. Jamie Dornan, Michael Fassbender and Colin Farrell. The three of those come from three different areas of Ireland, with totally different accents, but are all handsome which probably influenced the vote
I grew up with those "guttural" accents so obviously don't have a problem with them, and married into a half-German family so -
I can get confused between Irish and Scottish, and for that matter between Irish and American, there's one Irish accent which sounds exactly like the speaker is trying to put on an American accent when in fact it is the Irish that was the original
Hell yeah
Toned and trim an have the right shape
To make the next lady that comes too close to me wriggle more than they thought they could

MiMi could understand only half of what you were saying on that videoclip
I have a sister-in-law who was a Jazzercise instructor and frequented the local gym. Guys always tried hitting on her and when they dated, it was always short lived. She was also a professor with a masters degree. They couldn't keep her entertained mentally.
Mimi, Art is lucky guy..

Didn't matter, mind, he was GORGEOUS. Fell for him like a ton of bricks in Where Eagles Dare
