When reading posts, do you read in an accent?

Do you have different accents for different people?

I was just thinking that sometimes I imply voice tones such as anger or light-hearted laughter onto what posters say as I read it in my head...

Surely I am not the only one that does this...

I tend to read them all in a slightly crazed South African Dutch/Afrikaans accent.

Think Joss ACkland in Lethal Weapon 2....

I read MSN conversations in the accent of the person I am talking to if I have spoken to them but when I read forum posts its usually not in an accent at all.

I read everything as if Pirates were saying it

For the simple reason Pirates have cooler accents than anyone else

Depends if I know the posters location or not...

Birmingham area = Ozzy Osbourne
Yorkshire = Alan Smith
North East England = Ross Noble
Central Belt = 'Big Man' from Chewin' the Fat
Stoke on Trent = Lemmy from Motorhead
Wales = Tom Jones
Ireland = Seamus McFly

Doesn't apply to ladies obviously.
