Sorry is very general like the english of England wich in fact is divided in two, southeast and northwest, but we have only 12 options...

I love the southern american accent like this

and have an special feeling with the australian accent of this girl of Brisbane

Well thought, it's possible that my preferences are conditionated by the girls LOL, because in the case of australian generally sound rude british to me.

Other - Sri Lankan.
There are many different Indian/Pakistani English accents in my experience, possibly linked to the many Indian languages, i never did figure out the patterns behind them. Some are frankly horrible, but others amazingly awesome. But Sri Lankan beats them all, this deserves seperate mention.

A couple of years ago some research under a lot of women showed that Irish is without doubt the sexiest accent anyone can have in English, and I'll have to second that.

Women hold their councils of war in kitchens: the knives are there, and the cups of coffee, and the towels to dry the tears.

Oh of course! There must be at least ten different ones.  There are several Irish accents too. I hate those from Ulster.
 
Girls from other English speaking countries (including other home nations) really dig my accent, I have to say...

If you take every second word as being the F-word as an indicator of good English, then possibly.

I like Scottish and Irish accents the best. Scottish Highland accents are pretty cool, but so are some of the Midland/Lowland accents. Dublin also has an interesting accent in Ireland. The Scots and Irish have a sort of romanticism to them that some English accents just fail in comparasion to. Welsh accents are sometimes interesting to here. However, I have mixed feelings on English accents. I cannot stand some of them because they sound so wierd, but some English accents sound very interesting.

A good Edinburgh accent sounds authoritative and educated.

That is why the Edinburgh accent is probably my favorite Scottish accent. Glasgewian accents sound cool also.

In a very salt-of-the-earth kind of way, yes.
