    Yeah, we never had any problems but I hate going up by Tirboy and that new estate across from it to get to the Soccer Pitch.

    Oh, I tried to reply to your last PM but it just won't send...

    I know, we have such a small country where just accent divides us really.
    Think about it that way. We are all the same!

    This isn't exactly an accent but more of a miserable attempt at an accent...
    Has anyone seen the movie "Snow in August", about a young kid Catholic kid who witnesses a murder of a Jewish guy and it all gets a bit far fetched at the end when he summons the Golem? It was on either RTE 1 or 2 today...Well the mother is an Irish Catholic in it, only it is an American attempt at an Irish accent and it is downright dreadful!

    I hate hearing an Irish accent among the Americans, like on a TV show, it just sounds plain weird. But the American accent is bad in itself...

    Your second link is only a pisstake so that accent is exaggerated and/or not real.

    The first is stupid. That shop(which is real) is as ignorant as the makers of the video perpetuating the bad opinion of the area.

    I lived in one of the estates in Southill for 3 years. Nobody marches around the streets with a gun or balaclava.

    The Limerick accent, which I do not have, is not intimidating to me. Its actually an embarassment to me to hear a Limerick accent on the TV or radio because its sounds so stupid.

    I hate the inner city Dub accent although I like hearing it(from a distance albeit) because its so..................................common as muck.

    The Waterford scumbag accent is bad as well.


    both of the videos are piss takes! just portrays the strong limerick accent well..didnt say it was real! said it was funny!

    I find the Dub accent too nasal to be intimidating.
    Belfast accents however, do put me on my guard. Always sounds like a kneecapping is in the not too distant future.
    To pick an accent that annoys me, i'd have to say Carrickmacross. PUer annoys me, so it does, hai.* God that annoys me.
    My attempt at recreating this god awful wail.

    Yeh, know a few lads from out that directions, and I have to say it's pretty bad! I've heard worse tho!

    For intimidation though, gotta be Belfast knackers, closely followed by some of the Northsiders. I mean, for a tourist or somebody (e.g. American's who recognise accents) to come over and hear the 'dort' that some of them come out with!

    The most intimidating accent/voice I've ever heard has to be my uncle, no matter what he's saying I'm nearly cowering in the corner of the room.. Once my cousin started answering back to him, I feared for his life! He's actually the nicest guy in the world though, taken me 20 years to find out!

    I'd love to hear a seriously dirty pikey from like Drogheda or Marino or somewhere similar havin a "verbal confrontation" with some heavily black Brooklyn heads.. Oh the contrast!
