Only for a few more months.

I'm no redneck, I'm from Derry!

Aye, I like Fermanagh accents. Not sure why exactly, they're 'pleasant' or something.

There was a survey carried out a couple of years back that showed that the Brummie accent was the worst possible Brittish accent to have. The minute they open their mouths most people assume that they are some sort of retarded criminals. I'd forgotten just how bad that whine of an accent is until I had to put up with one at work recently - you would think that with an accent like that he would keep his mouth shut

Great to see this thread resurrected. Definitely the best accent is Dublin 4/South County Dublin. Very articulate and superior in tone to all other accents. So glad I have one.
I also have a thing for girls with Northern accents, especially Downbird, Nadine, M.C., and Miss Newry aka Orla.

**dublinred** · 23/12/2004, 12:51 PM

Worst: Brummie
Best : Eastern Europe Chics

Jealousy, jelousy, jealousy. The most whinging accent ever is the Cork one.

Never a truer word spoken P.M. Have the shower onto me in work everyday and I tell ye, it'd drive a lad to drink.Not only that but they're not far down the pecking order for tight @rses around the country too. Makes sense when there is so many fellas giving battered sausage

Yup. Def. Gota love the Welsh accent. Also Northern Ireland and Scottish accents.

Can't believe only one person has mentioned the Geordie accent. A soft Geordie accent spoken by a girl is one of the sexiest things you'll ever hear in your life. Same with a soft Manc accent - delightful.

I really like the Scouse accent - cracks me up. Yorkshire accents are great as well - anywhere from Leeds and above (i.e. not Sheffield). Both make people sound honest, decent, down-to-earth (if you can ignore the Harry Enfield stereotypes about Liverpudlians).

I don't understand the fixation with the Donegal accent. In one half of the County it's just a Derry accent (and increasingly more so, as we take over Inishowen

). In the other half they sound like they're all on a high-dosage of Morphene and struggling to even get their words out, they're that slow in talking. Think of Daniel O'Donnell's 'hammed-up' soft and slow accent and you'll be on the right tracks. You'd fall asleep just waiting for an answer from them....
