    Nobody seems to have mentioned the worst offenders of them all: Spin 103.8 - The majority of the DJ's on Spin make me want to throw the radio out the window....Jonathan McRea, Steve K, those two tw@ts on the Zoo Crew....

    Really starting to detest Matt Cooper quite a bit too - he's got nothing good to say about anyone/anything...especially when he has that eejit Neil Francis talking about the rugby.

    The usual suspects have always been Adrian Kennedy & Jeremy Dixon - best example of Lowest Common Denominator radio

    i'm surprised no one has mentioned moncrief. i don't hate his voice but its very distinctive so you'd think someone would hate it. the gf does.

    Moicheal Mock Mollen is definately the King of Idiot voices. Emma MockNomora on the business news is a close second followed closely by Anthony "Tony Fenton" Fagan's mid atlantic twang.

    The girl who does the ad for Dundrum Town Centre and currently, Lyyyyyyrath Estate.
    Her voice and accent are incredibly irritating.

    Taxi driver's favourite Joe Duffy. Its not really the accent just the insufferable whining twinge to his voice.

    Mr Mock Mollen would definitley get my vote as well. The amount of times I've missed the sports news that I actually wanted hear, but turned it off because his voice actually annoyed me more!!

    speak properly man, this isn't a self-parodying comedy skit :rolleyes:


    is there anyone whose voice annoys you more?

    I was going to post about this guy!Where the hell did he find that accent??I thought it was a Gift Grub sketch when i first heard him on Today fm.
    Where is he actually from?Is there a new breed of D4?

    Aw I like Michael McMullan. Ray Darcy is doing my head in lately but I think that's more the patronising tone than the voice itself.

    Hate those two preschoolers on 2fm mornings and am just praying for the day Ruth Scott gives herself lockjaw. On a local level, Matt Keane (strongest Waterford accent ever) and Oliver Carroll on WLR are enough to make me switch off.

    There used to be a wan on that waterford radio station, not waterford today, the other wan, i forget its name...

    Aaaaanyway her name is Orlaith Rapple, its not so much her voice but the way she acts on air. I had to turn the brekkie show off every day otherwise i got the impulse to go down to the station and impale my fist through her face.. Im sure she's a lovely girl though >_>

    exactly! No probs with his reporting voice, it's the self-intro that does me in.

    It's sport headlines on radio, not a cheesy quiz show.

    Michael McMullen is so bloody annoying I dread hearing him, he puts me in a bad mood. So does Harvey Norman, Daft Dave and Rick O Shea.

    Matt Cooper (What a complete tool. Hate him so much)
    Ruth Scoot (Makes me want to vomit. Man womaman from the middle of nowhere)
    Tim Kelly on Today FM
    The one who reads the news on Today FM in the morning (She is so trying to get a big media job and do a Lorraine Keane on it)
    Ray Darcy (Do we have to hear about your bloody kid again)
    Ann Marie Kelly on Today FM (Another Ruth Scott)

    +1000. Worst accent on radio.

    Also Frances Shanahan, the one who gives the farm news. Horrible nasal quality to her voice.
