Most annoying accents...and sexiest ones...

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.

worst:

1. Liverpool
2. Spanish (gaggle of spanish women = world's ugliest sound)
3. Glasgow (and it's nothing to do with Celtic, for the record :p )

best:

1. Welsh
2. Australian
3. Texas (ladies only, specifially the waitress in Austin who actually said, "y'all come back now y'hear")

In the LOI:
worst...dooblin "tixt us da risult heffO"
best....derry

Worst
1. Mid-Atlantic dj accent
2. Australian
3. Posh D4 and working class Dublin accent, lower middle class Dublin accent is alright though.

Best
1. Outer Hebrides
2. Donegal
3. Edinburgh
4. French
5. English upper class
6. New Zealand
7. Scandinivian
8. Italian

Worst: Most English, especially the narky ones
Donegal (can't believe ye's like the culchies :confused: )
American, they just fry my head.

Best: Most from somewhere between Mayo and Clare
Fermanagh
Welsh

west country english - i am a cider drinker!

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:

WORST
1.Cork accent-high pitched whining,cannot be taken seriously
2.D4 accent-very forced and unatural...its not snew its snow ffs!!
3.Australian-can't say why it's just cr*p

BEST
1.Dublin accent-perfect for being angry in...unrivalled for giving abuse
2.Geordie-amusing like
3.Soft Nordy accent around Cavan Fermanagh

Female Best:
Cockny accent can be good somethings.
Northern Irish (north of the country as opposed to 6 counties)

Female Worst:
Sharp Yankie variety

Worst:
Knacker Dublin - hate it with a vengance
Welsh - yuck
American - most annoying one easily

Best:
Northern Irish - sexy
French

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

Only for a few more months. ;) I'm no redneck, I'm from Derry! :D

Aye, I like Fermanagh accents. Not sure why exactly, they're 'pleasant' or something.

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:

Worst:
D4
nAVAN
Cork
Meath
mOnaghan
Meath
Scouse

Sexiest:
Italian
Japanese,oh yes, mr.d12 me love you long time tonight ;)

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.

Worst: Brummie
Best : Eastern Europe Chics

That Russian bird out of Fair City has one sexy accent and she's a stunner aswell

[QUOTE=pete]Female Best:

Try working where I work, no way.

Mind you I can't talk much about that subject. ;)

Never a truer word spoken P.M. Have the shower onto me in work everyday and I tell ye, it'd drive a lad to drink.Not only that but they're not far down the pecking order for tight @rses around the country too. Makes sense when there is so many fellas giving battered sausage :p

sexiest accents.... Going to add Saffa accents to the list! Oh and Eastern European ones too.

crap accents... adding Indian accents!

I have to say that Im fond of the Welsh accent. Im sure Joesemi will back me up on this one, so much so that he's been in the Millenium Stadium on a number of occasions for big 6 nations games.

hate d4 accent with a passion also hate most ulster accents except monaghan cavan area .
ooo also new zealand accent makes my blood boil and whatever accent harvey norman ad guy has ( i presume south african?)

Yup. Def. Gota love the Welsh accent. Also Northern Ireland and Scottish accents.


Worst: Limerick, Dublin, Donegal, arrogant English...

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....
