I was just thinking that. I don't know how other people can dislike the Galway accent. There isn't really one Galway accent.Quote:

Dislike: Wixklow/Wexford is pretty bad, but Dundalk accent is the worst.
Like: Kerry accent on girls.
Disliked (by a mile): The D4 accent (hise instead of house, roundabite instead of roundabout - Lorraine Keane is a prime example as are most tv3 female newsreaders or presenters).
Favourite: Waterford
I was in a mobile phone shop the other day, beautiful Indian looking girl was at the counter. Asked her about what deals they had, and out came this beautiful Scottish accent. She had Indian parents and was born in Scotland. Ahhhh she was lovely.
Back to Irish accents...
Favourite... Donegal, soft Nordie
Last favourite.... Cork and Dublin
Was doing some maintainence work in a hotel yesterday when two young lads came up talking to me, couldnt understand a word they were saying and couldnt help but just started laughing. I asked where they were from ?....................Dundalk ! Worst accent EVER !
love the geordie accent on a woman! Also have to admit the donegal one considering past 3 have come from there! :D
hate the english accent from the home counties the really posh one though love to bone a bird with it, so its that love hate relationship!
Hate the dub inner city knacker accent, also hate the southside one more, the fabricated mid-atlantic/irish sea/home counties accent the snobs have.
...hazarding a guess that that's because you generally hear it spoken by, say, Donna Aire or one of those Girls Aloud wans.Quote:

Dislike: Skanger accents are across the board terrible regardless of whether they're from Dublin, Cork, Limerick, Galway or Waterford. That midlands thing is a bit primitive too...

Its the toothache making me tetchy. Havent slept properly in days either.
The perpetual whine of the Ulster accent grates like finger nails scraping a blackboard, and it's difficult to know what they're sing-songing about in Munster and Connaught half of the time. Give me a generic, easily-understood, east coast Leinster accent any day.
Before you contact the builders I should be more specific and say that I'm mostly a sucker for the North west. Once we get further east than Derry and further south than south Donegal we're firmly back in hit or miss territory.Quote:
