Eh? There's no such accent.



LOL!

Those Harvey Norman ads annoy me, especially if I hear them first thing in the morning. They're too upbeat and cheery for that time of day and they make me want to punch the guy doing them.

If Im ever anywhere near that harvey norman bloke and he opens his mouth...
murder will be done:mad:

Its like a personal fantasy, where I get to beat his head in with a grain shovel. in the middle of an Add.

the one i hate most at the moment is that irishjobs.ie one where this twat is back from dubai some where and "my mum's delighted, and so am i" - the way he says that line makes my blood boil. Really ****e ad and the other one with the woman talking isnt much better.

Its got to the stage that if i hear the start of either of them i switch radio station.

Also note how he grunts very slightly before EVERYTHING he says....why!? To make it sound like you're really thinking about what youre saying instead of reading from a script?

Radio presenter with the most annoying voice? Its got to be that bird from the 98fm morning crew, Siobhan I think is her name.

Holy Jaysus, it grates my eardrums to listen to her irritating voice babble on about celebrity gossip and other such ridiculous ****e. Even the co-presenters sometimes stop and go "eh... right" when she comes out with something stupid mid-conversation.

I have to wonder how she actually got a job on the radio, she must have family who own the station 'cos there's no way anyone sane would inflict that voice on the ears of listeners!

Eanna Ni Lamhna was my lecturer in college. Believe me, listening to her first thing on a Thursday morning was far from easy.

I sent a question into Fix It Friday before, asking "Whats the deal with your sports guys accent. Moy-cheal Muck Mollen, surely must be taking the pi$$". Needless to say they didnt answer it.

With the exception of the english accent, i hate most foreign accents on the radio especially on ads! I particular hate the australian accent. (Note that does not mean i late australians!!)

marrian finucane is the one that annoys me, always sounds like shes had a bottle of wine or two before starting the show. in fact most to the "dort" type accents on RTE. has anyone ever met anyone that actually talks like that in real life?

god i just rememberd theres some bird that does the traffic, for newstalk i think or maybe today fm, anyway she keeps pronouncing BALLY CULLEN as BALLY QUE LEN. im mean WTF. it does my head in everytime she says it. you'd think someone would tell her

Ger Canning on tonites Premiership insisted ..I say... INSISTED on pronouncing Portsmouth as Ports MOUTH... when 99.9% of anyone anywhere who speaks English as a first tongue pronounces it Portsmuth.

He rammed it down my throat so much that I may have damaged the TV....

Why does somebody not TELL these guys????

Moycal McMuulllen. Why laddy, why?
Barry O'Neill. Longfoordt. Waterfoordt. Wexfoordt. What the f#ck is wrong with you?
Deirdre O'Kane. Don't get me started on the nasal, break into my one and only comedy voice, man bashing b1tch. She's not funny. At all.
Myhome.ie? I'll never. ever use that company, just because of that ad.

Is she the one that does Sonia O'Sullivan and the Dolores (from the Cranberries)? She is terribly annoying.:(

Theres one who does the voice on Ulster bank telephone banking and she has done radio adverts, last one I heard her on was one where she rings some bank manager or something and asks does he work out and she's been watching him etc, she's done a couple of other ads through the years, I saw her interviewed once and she is about 60 and a fugly, but her voice really annoys me

Cheers

Them "go walking" adds melt my head and anything with an Irish sports star trying to raise awareness about something or other.
Someone most people can't stand listening to on the radio is Sarah Cox but for some reason I find her voice quite arousing.

She's the one who looks like a hatchet faced bint. She keeps talking in this mock "bogger woman" accent and none of hey jokes are funny. NONE of them. Why we even know her name is beyond me. Suppose it's par for the course. All women comedians are crap. Or at least all the ones I've been unfortunate enough to see
