And yeah ive got a revision pack to do for the whole unit and only done a tiny bit of Ecology, my teacher wont like that when i go back tomorrow?
Mine is kind of mixed up but its mostly an understated, mild Mancunian accent.
I've got a very weird accent - it's based on British but with continental (German) influence as well as a tiny bit of North American :P.
I get quite a lot of comments on my accent but I have no easy way of describing it haha.

I have an American-influenced Turkish accent, with some British vocabulary and pronunciation thrown into the mix. Which makes sense as I'm a native Turkish speaker who learnt English from American teachers and media before relocating to the UK.
In the likely case you have no clue what a Turkish accent sounds like, here's a good example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1YmfaLaEz90 My accent is basically a watered-down version of this.

I'm from Scotland, always lived here, but my mum's Australian, yet my accent has been described as almost sounding American :') I literally cannot describe it
A Mancunian accent, although I've had people say I sound like I'm from London, despite living in Manchester my whole life. I think its because to people not from Manchester they expect you to speak like someone with a Bolton/Lancs accent, but it's completely different to what an actual inner city Mancunian accent is.

Received Pronunciation - I've often been told that I sound like the stereotypical BBC News presenter

What I think is a generic American accent, though apparently the official generic American accent is in the Midwest. Midwesterners, to me, all sound like they're the ones with the accent...
My cousins live in the Midwest, Nebraska, and they definitely sound like they have the typical american accent to me, a British person.

So you're implying that all black people have a ghetto accent or something? I love how you associate my ethnicity with a stereotypical accent without taking into account my upbringing and living environment. Whenever I visit my cousins in other areas in London, the differences in our accents are rather noticeable. You don't even know me.

As in a Southern accent is charming and lyrical whereas a Northern accent makes people feel like they're being threatened at all times?
I knew some guys at Uni from Belfast and the tone was omni-aggressive. Nice guys but they couldnt say 'thanks' without sounding like they were about to start a fist fight
