I can't stand South African accents. Very hard to listen to. Not sure of a favorite, maybe Southern US.

Only three million times, or possibly more.

Talib Fiasco

Favourite: Donegal or Suburbs of Cork City - not too knacker, not too cultchie

Least favourite: South Dublin and rough north Dublin. Some of north Dublin is actually grand but the most part of it is terrible.

I like the cork accent.


I have issues with the classifying of D4 or southside accents...mine is the D4 accent BEFORE it became Americanised..it is unblemished and pure soft south Dublin..pure Irish..:) Ok maybe it goes a little 'bad D4 ' :osometimes:o

Oooh you know the rubberbandits on th Republic of telly? ..i like their accents in thir skits lol:-)

To be honest a strain of the D4 accent is countrywide now.

GT_TDI_150

Best - any of the northern irish accents, new zealand, south african accent

Worst - dublin!!
And its everywhere, even the ad makers seem to think we all want to hear a dub accent 24/7

Felexicon

Favourites are Liverpool and the Welsh.
Can't stand the D4 accent on men or women.
"pass my Dubes Fintan or we'll miss the focking dorsh like"

Dunno...but am interested to renew the debate:-)


Are we only allowed to talk about a topic once?

Cavan and Navan accents are very, very sexy.

keith16

Ladies with an Australian accent or Norn Iron accent are fan-fcukin-tastic.

It's not just their accent, it's the little phrases they say that wouldn't work in another accent!

mauzo

I love a country accent on a man, its just so sexy. Especially Offaly!

PhlegmyMoses

Least favourite is the Liverpool accent. They sound like they have learning difficulties.

Run_to_da_hills

Favourite Scottish, least favourite Limerick especially on the train.

The worst is Louth/ South Monaghan. Specifically Ardee and Carrickmacross.
The Dublin accent is crap as well.

Thats a sweeping statement, there are heaps of Dublin dialects, South side, Inner city, Northside, D4, etc.

I used to love the Norn Irish accent, but then I started going out with a Derry woman and now I can't stand it.

I'm still with her too. Wish she'd shut the f*ck up.

Rayne Wooney

Russian accent has to be the best

You always get a load of culchies in these threads with chips on their shoulders about Dublin. Sniping at their betters is all they have really...

Mr. Rager

Best: Galway City
Worst: Drogheda

humbert

Best: Slightly, but not excessively, posh English accent.
Worst: The Dublin accent of people inclined to say, "I done".

I like the Dublin accent so long as its not the Lotty Ryan type accent or the real skanger accent. When they speak clearly and pronounce their words fully its a nice accent.

Don't like nasally Dub accent or the D4 accent.

phoenix999

I got contracted to work with an employer based in West Cork. Had to work alongside two New Zealand girls. Every time they talked the high pitched ending of sentences made everything sound like a question. Was near suicidal after two days. The local West Cork lilt was like a tonic after a days work.

Seen a YouTube video with a female chef from Nee Zuland. She looked lum with pututoes and frish munt. Very annoying.

Defiler Of The Coffin

Whichever type of Kildare accent Christy Moore has FTW.

Fav: A slight Aussie twang, not the "Throw a shrimp on the baaaabie and bring me another VB, Sheila" sort, is fantastic.

Hate: Cork. Painful to listen to for any period of time, especially on women :mad:

Not a fan of the Kiwi or hardcore Nordi ones either.

I hate New Jersey and most New York accents.

I strongly prefer the dulcet tone of the midwestern American accent. :cool:
