Cha man ya bumbaclot. Tchh!! Is you dissing us Hinglish, Hirish bway?Originally Posted by sylvo
Actually he's right. I've heard the sound of a gang of Yardies get on behind me on a train and I turn round and it's these pasty Irish looking kids talking all Bob Marley to each other (or as Chris Eubank would say: 'When not thpeaking the Queen'th English with members of the caucathian populath I converth in a patois with my kith and kin.') It's one thing that f*cks me off. The standard practice is simply to insert the third person verb with a first and second person pronoun. Something that most Jamaicans would eschew when talking to either white people or even fellow carribeans. On the other hand I saw a clip of Dubya's pre 2000 election interview the other night, the one where he couldn't name a single foreign head of state and he was doing the same thing. Big up!!

I dunno about best or worst but I find the post colonial "dort" accent very annoying. Particularly as it's now favoured by all sorts of broadcasters and advertisers as being the "accent of success". How many times have we heard a traffic reporter on the radio talk about the Mad Cow "rhine-da-bite"?
what the fcuks that about like?
As for Aussies -aside from their accents - the only thing i find annoying is their predeliction for making up new, shorter names for things that have perfectly good names already. Hence -"this avo" (afternoon) and in particular "rents" (parents).
" I wish to God that someone would be able to block out the voices in my head for five minutes, the voices that scream, over and over again: "Why do they come to me to die?"
Watched a programme on BBC about 5 years ago examining the different accents around Britain and Ireland. They interviewed two guys outside Anfield, one a Dub, the other a scouser and compared how remarkably alike both these accents were. On the same programme they visited a pub in Cork and had to use sub-titles with the replies of the locals.
Personally I hate a Belfast accent
not mad about the kerry/cork accent, sounds like high pitched whining
and Brummie is awful
The Edinburgh accent is cool
“Ros Gommon” accent is funny but likeable
Geordie accent is ok
Always look on the bright side of life

Rass clart blood. hu you dissing, tchhh, you come to ma yard hif you wint ta diss hus like dat blood. tchhh.
Yea have to admit have been on the bus when some of the pupil's from my old school have been on it coming home and i've noticed a few young 2g's amongst them talking like they are making a ragga record with Beenie man or Shabby Rank's, bunch of bumberclart's.
Used to be this kid in our class who's perents were from Kilkenny, but this eejit thought they must have come from Kingston Jamaica, alway's talking away in patwaaa, he was was some clown and sounded daft with it.

Most annoying: Cork and Scouse
Favourite: Welsh and Newcastle
Can't forget the H'Irish bwaay that I met in Charlton before the game who was complaining about 'Mister Charlton Poleeeeesman, just blinged me spliff' one minute then going into one in a Dub accent to his Da' the next.Originally Posted by sylvo
BTW, met a Will 'Summer, summer, summer, time/Summer time' Smith lookalike from Clondalkin on NYE round my amigos house. Mister Hertfordshire Poleeeeesman almost had to be called when he asked the host if she was Nigerian.

this dort accent really ****es me off.dort-speakers should have their voices boxes removed with a pliers without anaethesia then dumped in ballymun and told how to speak properly. poxy dort ponces,its typical of post celtic tiger "rich" ireland. all these knob ends speeaking as if theyr from d4. why isnt micka from coolock poresenting the news?its a for of discrimination.anyone who sounds like theyr from an are awiht a proper dublin (or irish) irish accent will find it doubly hard to get on tv.
at elast martin king from edenmore is allowed on tv3 and has a radio show with a proper accent.but he doesnt count casue hes a gypo
i remember "urban cowboys" on channel 4 and national geographic about 6 years ago.the knacker kids in ballymun with horses. when they spoke there were subtitles for viewers.w@nkers.Originally Posted by drummerboy
as for edinburgh, dont you mena "eimbra"?
Yeah - "oo-arrr" is Wez Cun'ry (Bristol, Glaas'der, 'Zomerzet', Plymuff etc).Originally Posted by Conor74
Yorkshire is more '"Ayy-op lad".
And rural anywhere south of Birmingham. At my school in Artfordshoore there were the 'ooooh aaaaarhh' 'slokel yokels' from the country and the 'orrrright mate' Mockneys (like moi) from town. However try putting on this accent to someone from Bristol and he'll say 'Aaaaargh. Dat do be a sumarset accent you do be speaking.'Originally Posted by dcfcsteve

Best:Dublin (Samantha Mumba or any girl on Dublin Radio, any girl who ever came out of ireland, eg Mtv's Emma Ledden or Amanda Byram who's big in America now) All from Dublin!! Every post is saying Worst = Dublin, and to think its nearly all Cork people saying this! What is it Jealousy or just pure rage? Other sexy accents have to Liverpool (on a real tarty bird), Scottish (soft), South America...
Worst :Every where in Ireland except Dublin, Donegal or Northern Ireland, Dont get me wrong there all cool tough guy accents but normally not too sexy on a girl! Yorkshire accents like Mick McCarthey, Fertilizzerrrr, Dutch or that clueless american one, what everrr!!
