    I think the decline of the old Dublin accent also has a direct correlation with the decline of any character the city once had. My accent would be regarded as a reasonably common dublin accent and i'm glad of it.

    For example,

    I'd tell me ma i'm goin to wurk.

    as opposed to the nouveau riche Dublin accent where

    I'd tell mam, i'm going to werk.

    I quite like different variations of the Irish accent no matter how strong, i like a lot of the country saying and expressions. I lived with a fella a couple of years ago from Donegal and thought it was gas how he'd say "wile" and "hi" at every hands turn.

    I'm in Donegal a bit, they love that word "wile"
    I heard a curry being described as "wile mild"

    Are you sure it wasn't described as "wile mild hi"

    Point I was making is that Liverpool women are not noted for their appreciation of the finer arts.

    I am suggesting that the fact that Liverpool women like the Dublin accent is nothing to boast about.

    Their taste is not very high to be honest.

    I wouldn't promulgate that too widely if I were you.

    Like Pikeys saying they like fish & chips and then taking that as a good thing!!

    get a grip buddy.

    The worst accent I've heard in some time must from be Lisa Murphy of superhoofer Michael Flatley fame. This bint is from Ballinteer, although she tells everyone she is actually from Dundrum! I know a few people from the same estate as her in Ballinteer and they all sound perfectly normal, but poor auld Lisa talks as if she has the heel off one of her shoes shoved up her arse...

    I have to agree, it is so so fake and forced. It's actually embarrassing; and not at all classy!

    My slant on liverpool women liking Dublin accents was as much an appaluse on My accent as to Dublin accents in General .of which I am aware are good bad and indifferent ( just like anywere else ,ie cork , limerick , belfast )

    Taste are not high ? As opposed to Dublin/Irish women ? :confused: You know about Liverpool womon ? I could not make such a sweeping statement about any women in any city be it manchester dublin or anywere.

    Get a grip .? Bad accents are like bad people .They are everywere ,every town, village and city has them .

    I suppose there were always irritating dublin accents .Liverpool to has it's fair share of dull and bland accents but some speak much much better than others .Some are even quite poshhhhhhhhhhhh ;)

    Strange to think that the scouse accent is a combination of Lancashire and Dublin eseeeeee .:)

    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.
    I dont mind normal Dublin accents but i hate posh D4 types and the way they talk.

    Good evening Flutts. Pighead's intrigued as to what your dulcet tones sound like. In his mind you speak in a twang which resembles one of d'unbelievables crossed with Miley from Glenroe.

    Hey ya Fluts. Being from the north east of the country you'd be a wee bit off kilter with your guess there buddy. Think James Bond crossed with John F Kennedy and you'd be fairly close.

    Unfortunately not. Whenever Pighead talks to a girl his voice changes dramatically and his tone turns into a cross of Steve Staunton and Jimmy Krankie. Lucky enough Miss Piggy loves both their voices so thankfully Pighead won't be spending a lifetime alone.
