im afraid im totally opposite to you Brian..i think the townie Sligo accent is "pure class"

hate the northern accent, especially the Belfast one.

[oldyouth]

WorstHas to be the county that ends every sentence with either 'Boy' or 'Like'. I'm saying no more

[sligoman]

Favourite: Cork and other southern areas.
Least favourite: Dublin, Donegal, Northern accents.

[Red&White Rover]

Like: Anything from up north, Corkies can be funny enough, Big thick Dublin accents are ok at times...

Dislike: Sligo, Athlone, Dundaaaalk, and Wexford(Where in the name of blue f*ck did they end up with that accent)

[Mr Maroon]

Like: Northern accent, especially on females.

Dislike: That south east accent and inner city Dublin

[brianw82]

In spite of Mr Maroon's agreement with me on norther-accented women, I also must add that the Galway accent is the most drab and boring in the country.
Used to work with a Galway lad doing tech support, and I think he fixed people's problems over the phone by putting them to sleep!

[hula4]

love the nordie accent on women, find the inner city dublin accent very amusing, love the cork city accent and the "quare" thick wexford accent

cant stand the midlands accent, and the d4 accent

[oscar]

what about the limerick accent hula

[stann]

The Nordie accent on a girl is the best accent anywhere in the world, even better than the Welsh one.

My least favourite, as in the most annoying, is the relatively newly fabricated, mainly-though-by-no-means-exclusively Dublin it-girl one, that seems to have started with the likes of Lorraine Keane. The 'ryndabyte aitside the hyse' one. Awful.

[hula4]

can take it or leave it

[Magicme]

I love Derry accents (male or female) and Donegal. Like a bit of Dub too but anything further south does my head in.

[Terry]

love the female donegal accent, hate the cork female accent, especially that one thats occasionally on the ray darcy show !!!!!

[superfrank]

Favourite: The soft Northern female accent is very sexy. I like the Meath one and I find the Galway and Kerry accents very funny.

Least favourite: All Dub ones, Wicklow, Cork (on men, on women it's just funny).
