    Ever since I was inter railing I stayed in a hotel with one 4 bed room used like a hostel. It was owned by a young french couple, and the wife was stunning. Petite, long dark hair and smooth, sallow skin. I woke up after the first night there a little hungover and she was sweeping the room in a white short summery dress and as I stirred she just smiled at me and said "bonjour" very softly.

    Luckily I was lying on my front, but ever since then it's that accent. Mmmmm.

    I generally dislike the Limerick accent but I met this girl the other night and she had an accent similar to Dolores O'Riordan and it was sexy as hell!
    Definitely not the Aussie accent - it's way to whingy.
    when you say you dont like the "Limerick accent" to which accent do you refer? The upper class Ennis Road one? the middle class Dooradoyle/Castletroy one? Or maybe the working class Moyross/Thomondgate one? Like any city, it has more than just one accent.

    eh, I'm not sure, which one does Dolores most sound like?

    Hers would have been more working class at the start but its changed a lot of the years as she lived in different places. Its still mainly working class though :)

    Some Eastern european girls i know sound nice as well but it varies.

    Wouldnt agree, I think eastern european girls trying to speak english sounds awfull! Especially the hosties on Ryanair mumbling on the PA system, can barley hear a word they are trying to say. Cant understand how there can be so little Irish hosties working for mick.

    Still the majority french are arrogant, unfriendly and unhelpful !

    Hearing a girl from Belfast say "Ach, you're a wee darlin'" or "A wee pet" is like music to my ears
    I know man, I purr like a kitten when nordie girls say things like that. Nordie, latino and jamaican do it for me.

    Nicest ever accent I've ever heard is from a girl from Armagh living in Edinburgh. :)

    Firstly how can you declare if I dont speak Polish ?? how in the blue would you know ??? I bet you I speak more langauges than you do , and in relation to the vague hosties on Ryanair , not only is it unprofessional and annoying its unsafe ! Imagine a fatal emergency where you still cant hear what they are saying. But of course thats something you dont care about.:p

    I did find that to be the way in Paris, but in the south of France I found almost everyone to be very nice, open and friendly people.

    I was in Formby in Liverpeeeewl changing some money into Sterling one time. This bombshell behind the counter with boobs like two blancmanges in a gale asked me if I'd 'been on 'oliday'. I said no that I was going back to Ireland after working in Europe for a year.

    She said, in the sexiest scouse accent: "I get off at four"

    I had to go and spend some time alone. I LOVE that accent on a molly.

    Liverpool, Newcastle, Monaghan or Donegal. unreal on birds...

    BTW Limerick has at least 4/5 accents.
    Northside knackers(the girls kinda sing a bit),
    Southside Knackers(flat dirty awful accent),
    Castletroy - normal accent sometimes a little americanized on younger people.
    "Normal" Limerick accent - Normal Cork accent without the singing, can become a little flat for certain words!
    Dooradoyle/Raheen is like a mix between the normal limerick accent and castletroy.

    Could've missed some...

    ah well then they must be generally friendly, cant beat the Spanish though for friendliness.

    On women, I absolutely ADORE the German accent. It's just really sexy to me.

    On men, I think the mild Caribbean accent is really cool, like the cricket commentator on Sky Sports

    South African. Mmmm...

    current squeeze has a lovely soft Auckland accent, never thought I'd say it but that's my favourite right now. God I'm a soft touch...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10,838 ✭✭✭✭3hn2givr7mx1sc


    There's very few that I dislike, tbh.
    My favourites are Scottish, Spanish and Welsh, though.:D
