Which is the best and worst accent in the country?

Worst: Donegal/Nordie/Strong Sligo townie accent("dis and dat"

)

Best: Limerick/Cork/Kerry. Basically, the south, just cos it sounds funny

BEST: Hmmm Soft Derry but I like a lot of them

WORST: As a Northside Dubliner I agree with the D4/DORT accent being the worst. Pure bog is preferable honestly. The DORT accent evolved from a West Brit wanna be accent in the 1970's to it's modern infestation.

mate of mine is goin out with a girl from drogheda and their accent is CAT, every time i meet her i feel compelled to ask her to say chicken burger

its like crossin culchie with a northside dublin accent...

the best has to be north donegal, espically in the girls

id imagine its pretty much the same as the derry accent. just the donegal accent in general really, but they speak way too fast down round bundoran and ballyshannon...

Stopped off in Dundalk on the way back from Dungannon last night and the accent is much worse than I remembered.
It nearly brings a tear to my eye.

It is so horrible its beyond belief!

Best is the nordies accent

Worst is the craptown accent

Cork accent is a bit naff though. even having a cork man screaming murder at ye, ye can never really take it seriously as the accent always has a 'nice' tone to it

Yeah, reminds me of a sociology professor in UCG whom I thought was from the US.
I discovered he was from a town near Galway and the saying was:

"He left Tuam and came back to Toom"
