I recently came into possession of a supremely powerful weapon. For years, I knew nothing of such a weapon, until I unwittingly unleashed it upon a poor and unsuspecting female.

It makes their desire for me insatiable. It drives them mad.

What is this weapon, you ask?

A British Accent. (A.B.A)

With A.B.A, the world is yours for the taking. Robbery, grand larceny, murder - all these are overcome by possessing A.B.A.

Suppose for a moment that you find yourself at a bar/party/funeral where you desire female attention. On the one hand, you could start out with a simple ice-breaker such as "My God these appetizers are fantastic! I simply MUST get Rob's recipe for this delectable Chex Mix!"

...or.....

You could plant some metaphoric C4 in their collective minds and blow them all away. Observe - A.B.A in action:

"'Ello man, 'ow ya doin'? I fink dat I've doid an gone to 'eaven, 'cuz I see an angel before me eyes! It's noffin' doin' man. This is a roight bloody trip, innit?"

...and so on and so forth.

It is out of control how much people love that accent. One could appear charming while wearing a cardboard box with dead rats stapled to it.

Simply say that you're from Bristol or Manchester, and roll wiv the punches.

But be careful. To quote from Spiderman: "With downplayed power comes fairly limited responsibility."

Truer words were never spoken. Or written. Or whatever.

You have a point. Gotta love the accent. HAPPY NEW YEAR

as long as you don't have a high voice and sound like the Queen!!

This is so true...I fell for a guy with A.B.A...now I know why....lol

I am happy for you.....but it does not work for all woman...lol...

I don't know....I get raised eyebrows and keen glances whenever I use it - maybe they think I'm David Beckham or something.

It works very well in diffusing situations as well - I usually dress sort of skater-ish style, which is somewhat offputting to people working at, say, Bed Bath and Beyond.

However, if I wander in, and say something along the lines of "'ello, I wuz just lookin' for somfin for me mum - its her birfday" - then I immediately recieve smiles and friendly gestures all around.

British People have it made. They know what's up.

i use my british accent to great affect lol

Oh, and Happy New Year everyone!
