Like: soft Cork (female only), soft Monaghan and anything from d'Wesht.
Dislike: Navan, Drogheda, Dundalk and both extremes of Dub ( "roysh, DORT etc." and "ya bleedin' wha?"). Also dislike strong Derry accents, Nadine Coyle makes me want to pretend I'm from somewhere else.

I find Kerry people utterly incomprehensible and require C3P0 to be at my side to interpret.

HAHA, could well be, but its just they are all up their own backsides that you would probably have to boil it before you put it in it.....:D

Well you needn't worry then as to how she likes it, boiled or otherwise. I'd say opening your mouth may make her mind up on keeping her clothes on.

I can only respond to a message as I see it and I responded as soon as I'd seen it.

I notice the most disliked accent for culchies are Dublin ones. What a shocker!!!

All Irish accents have their pros and cons, it all depends on the person speaking it. A fool is a fool in any accent.

I love the Southern accent, and I mean ANY southern accent. If a lady has a southern accent I'm already interested (and bear in mind I count Monaghan and Louth as southern accents).

I hate the northern accent. Derry is AWFUL. "CYYYYEEAAARRRRRR" (car), "GGGYYYEEEEEEEEEEERRRRLLLS" (girls). Brutal. Hideous. Ballymena and other culchie hell holes are also bad. "Hai bai, quare oul shappin centre in ballymena hai". AWFUL!

How you can stand that accent is beyond me. It's hideous. "Quare oul se' of alloy wheeeeeels ye have on thon tractaar ther hai bai!"

Personally I have a sort of Craigavon accent, but I'm constantly mistaken for being from Belfast as it's not THAT different.
