    Yeeeeech!!!

    As a card carrying culchie,I was listening to the Radio today and almost chucked when I heard this guy articulating in the most fcukin revolting Dublin accent I have heard in yonks.

    Led me to consider the long list of skangery Dublin accents amongst our 'revered'ones and my TopTen would be.

    1.. Val Andrews
    2..Brian Kerr
    3..Des Cahill
    4..Colm McCarthy (Bord Snip)
    5.. Dermuid Ferritéar
    6.. John Murray
    7..Bill Cullen
    8.. Any of the Sheridan brothers
    9.. Bono
    10.. 95% of League of Ireland Managers.with honourable mention for Stephen Kenny.

    These bring up the bile in me good time.

    What about Bertie Ahern? Or the cast of Fair City? Or anyone with a D4 accent? They're from Dublin.

    Seriously, your knowledge of what constitutes the skanger accent is not up to scratch. Bono? For jaysus sake....Hang around the bustop beside the screen cinema on D'olier street a few days in a row. You'll here proper skangers there (not in the dark, don't dress like you have anything worth stroking).

    I'd be far more revolted by the stream of west-brit/mid atlantic/SoCal/Dort accents that have emerged from Dublin in the past 20 years than I would by any of the real Dublin accents alluded to in the OP. The real Dub accent is slowly dieing and that's a shame.

    My accent is better than your accent.
    No, my accent is better than your accent.
    I contend that it is in fact I that has the greatest accent.
    I disagree. My accent is clearly the best.

    Snore...............

    We all have stupid accents anyway. If you don't believe me, record your voice on tape, play it back and tell me honestly that you like what you heard. :D

    Yes I did like what I heard. Although at the time of recording I was also sticking a chainsaw into Paris Hilton's face so that may have something to do with it.

    We all sound the same to foreigners anyway so what does it matter.

    We should all go to America where they love the irish accent and where we will score repeatedly with beautiful american women(or beautiful american men for the ladies (or gay lads)) and forget this petty accent argument.

    I was on the phone to a cork woman the other day.. I swear to god it sounded like she had a cock in her mouth or something. I couldn't understand a word she was saying and eventually just hung up.

    I knew what it was from a historical context. But it's only Dubs that actually use it in everyday talk. I've no idea why.
    To that poster in Rush, yep you're a Dub! :D We won't call it "Little Russia" anymore

    Oh and I don't get this D4 thing, been to Ringsend lately?, it's no paradise

    The 'real Dub' accent (and the whole 'salt of the earth' bollocks that comes with it) is very overrated. Good riddance.

    you would want to redefine your statement, for such a small city dublin has a huge amount of different accents. i have friends from sutton and you can barely tell they are dubs if you hear them talk, as you go a bit further south from sutton ie kilbarrack, raheny, clontarf the accent gets stronger but still not that bad. go a bit west to ballymun and the accent become skanger, listening to a person from ballymun and sutton talk to each other is funny

    as someone said the accents on those boys hanging around tara street, upper abbey street etc takes it to a different level completely, "stoooooory bud"
