    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)

    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!

    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.

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

    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).

    But not better than Scottish one. There's nothing sexier than a chick with a scottish accent...

    I wouldn't say I hate southern accents but I do find it quite hard to understand some people from Cork/Kerry/Limerick..

    Scottish accent is outstanding, almost as good as it gets, it's true. In fact, there's just two things sexier, the Welsh one and the soft Nordie one.

    Like: Cork, Kerry, Limerick accents, well Munster in general

    Dislike: Ulster accents (all of them) and both D4 and proper inner city Dublin accents (the kind that asks you for change at the LUAS stops)

    Find the Galway accent a bit nondescript to be honest, struggling to even think what it is
