Was travelling about last week, and struck me how amazingly awful the Scouse (scally version...) is. So heres my top 3 horrible accents and sexiest ones!
;)
Worst:
1) Scally scouse accent - jarring, screeching, like hearing a fork scratched on a plate....
2) Knacker Dooblin accent - need i say more...
3) Knacker Glasgow accent - even saying hello sounds abusive....
Sexiest:
1) Other parts of Scotland accent - mmmmmm.....
2) Donegal accent - beautiful....
3) French... cant imagine a knacker version of this one....

I guess most 'knacker/scaller' accent from any city is bad. Brian Kerr's accent needs a bit of fine tuning for press conferences :p . Colin Farrell's accent in the Veronica Guerin film is comical :D
dublin and waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaterford accents are the worst.
sexiest? Scottish a lá gail porter or derry* a lá nadine coyle
*: disclaimer derry accent not sexy when the only words you can make out are "hey" and "iron-bru" :)
worst: dublin....posh and otherwise!!
mayo/ros/leitrim
spanish.....so loud
best: kerry/cork.........kerry more so ;)
northern....class

The worst would be Eanna's. Sexiest? I really like the posh English accent, like angelina Jolie in Tomb Raider.
I hate the australian accent, and not amd about many English accents. German, eeuuuuuucccccchhhhh. I fuucking despise all American accents, they are whiney and creepy.
French and Spanish are magic, and i agree w Eaaaaaaanar, Gail Porters Scots accent is great.
Oh, and my favourite (despite not liking English accents) is Sophie Ellis Bextor. So posh and................................

I live in England a most people round this part speak like that-and find the Cork accent (as I do) incredibly sexy...

Well have to say jury is out on non-knacker non-D4 dublin accents.
As for the Scots, I'll qualify that as any bird from the Eastern half of the central belt who is not a knacker has a very, very, very, sexy accent. Dundonian and Aberdonian birds are not the sexiest sounding at all.
Scandanavian, especially Norwegian, are very nice.

i agree w Eaaaaaaanar, Gail Porters Scots accent is great...
Yeah she made a radio ad here a couple of years ago about being down in the student union bar with some students and I kept thinking of her afterwards saying: 'Hello, it's Gail Porter here. I'm in the student union bar just getting my t*ts out for some lads.' :eek:
The worst accents are the Septic Tanks because they are, gee, sooooooo LOOOUUUDD!!!! :mad:

Another accent I like are the Jamaican and West Indian accents. Sound a bit like the Cork accent.
Pakistani and Indian accents are great too. Sound like the Welsh and Kerry accents for some reason.
Love the Cavan accent. But hate Dundalk/Drogheda/Louth/Navan and Meath. Navan man accent has to be one of the most horrible accents.
Worst:
1. Cork/Kerry - you lot may sing, but I don't dig the tune
2. Brummie - you may want to be together, but don't fúckin talk to me
3. D4 - I mean totally, roysh
4. Scouse - Chewbacca from Star Wars
Best:
1. Donegal
2. Soft Northern
3. Soft Scottish
4. Aussie

2. Brummie - you may want to be together, but don't fúckin talk to me
...
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 :mad:

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.

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....

Have to say I find the Geordie accent brutal. Definately my worst.
Best would be a softly spoken French accent or posh English one like Angelina Jolie in Tomb Raider. :)

C'mon CH - you know the answer to this one yourself :) . 'Northern Ireland' written with a capital 'N' refers to the (I'm resisting the urge to say country !) part of our country that is in the UK. If you're talking about northern Ireland with a small 'n' , it's merely a geographical reference.

DFA - unless you've been to Newcastle or know a few people from up there, you'll only ever have heard bad/comedy Geordie accents on TV etc. Trust me - a soft Geordie accent on a girl is yer only man... (if you'll excuse the contradictory turn of phrase). :)
A well-spoken English accent is nice as well (even though Angelina Jolie's a yank), but the plumby posh one is dreeeeeadful. Euchhh....
I'd go for either soft Scottish (Edinburgh/lower East-coast) or French as the sexiest accents. As well as the Derry one of course.... :D Yep, yep !

You maybe right, a fella I used to work with was from a place from Bellingham which is just outside Newcastle. I think the fact that he was a gobsh!te probably put me off it because I don't think I've heard a girl with the accent yet, might be different if I heard that I suppose.
Worst has to be the Dundalk accent - no question about it
