well im going to england tonight for the weekend so hope to use my accent to my advantage, especially with such words like, 33, 3 and tree. for some reason english women always ask me to say these when im chatting to them.

The Irish accent is sexy because its musical with lots n lots of intonation. Not surprising from a musical country. A lot of other countries dont have the ups n downs in pace, intonation and of course healthy doses of expletives.

As for me, I can spot dialects from most parts of most countries. Its easy.

Possibly heading to Glasgow for the weekend, apparently they like the accent, although tbh I can never recall a Scots bird on the phone in the call centre complimenting mine compared to the amt of English who did. Slightly on topic, are many Scottish women fine? I dunno, its just I can think of barely any famous Scottish women, Ive never seen a British porno featuring Scottish women, thyey sound rough over the phone, and tbh Ive only ever even met two scottish birds, one of whom was fine as **** mimd.

Still, that schoolgirl yoke from Trainspotting more than met the standard Right Ive decided, if I get my rocks in Glasgow I have to end it with "Christ, I havent felt that good since David O`Leary scored in Italia 90"

Worst regional accent has to be the Dundalk/Drogheda accent ie as per Steve Staunton , but even his is tame in comparison to some.

I love the Donegal accent. It's softer and more lyrical than other northern accents and it's very sexy on a woman.

ha ha , that can change very quickely when they het angery with ya. i lived up there for a couple of years. ye the girls accent can be sexy, furhter up donegal it can sound very aggresive, not a bad thing in certian areas of the house he he. i could barely understand what people from gweedore, particularily lads were saying, booring accent (no offence fine people)

i have a love / hate for the accent, very twangy in some parts.
