    Or worse again, sticking a "th" in where it shouldn't be because you're a newscaster and everything needs a "th" don't you know.

    There's an accent I loathe that is pervasive in Irish media and actually, in young urban professional, especially young women. It's different from the much maligned D4 accent. It's the kind that pronounces 'party' as 'pardee', it's kinda... smarmy or something? Kinda like "Ugh, I can't be bother to speak with proper diction because I am WAY too cool for that shít."

    Did not check every page but Newstalk's roving reporter/voxpop guy Henry McKeen annoys me more than he should.

    @tarzana2, on one of the radio ads, the female voice says "compuder" in a kind of breathy American-tinted accent...........the Bank ads about backing brave?

    He sounds quite slow, but you're not sure if he is actually slow or taking the p1ss.

    I always think he's trying to emulate Louis Theroux.
