They all sound like retarded American Sean Connery's.
Europeans should take a leaf out the the Scandinavian book.
Better still (and it kills me to say it) be like the French and speak English with your own accent.
Is it cos you watch too much Merican TV?

Yeah, that's how I learned to speak the language in the first place.
You can still tell I'm not really an American, but I think this is as good as it gets for someone who's never actually lived in an English speaking country.
I should practice speaking with an English accent...It sounds great in my head but when I try to speak out loud it comes off totally retarded.
