    Monaghan accents are hot, I have to agree. there's a northern guy in the IT centre in the Newman, poor guy sounds like a motorbike trying to get up a hill. Poor northys, they don't even know they sound silly


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 154 ✭✭redcar


    The nicest has to be the Donegal. My God thats a hot accent.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,551 ✭✭✭panda100


    Someone voted for a German accent?!Seriously,that has to be the unsexiest accent ever.
    My favourite is without a doubt French....dreamy!But If I had to go for an Irish accent Id say a Limerick one definatly

    limerick has to be one of the most hardest irish accents to understand... nearly as hard as west cork!

    Well I voted for the Scottish accent, those ladies from Edinburgh sound amazing. It's a tough call however between that and a nice english accent on a lady.

    Gawd, heard a Derry accent in passing today and nearly fell in love! Turns out she was a ming-dog though :(

    Have to say the nicest accent I know of is that of a Danish girl who went to one of the top private girls' schools in England.

    Pure class.

    Oh and there's no Atari Jaguar option!

    Love the scottish accent but will never forget doing my French LC oral exam. I was nearly creaming in my pants talking to her!!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,117 ✭✭✭✭MrJoeSoap


    In Ireland its Monaghan, worldwide its Kiwi.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,293 ✭✭✭✭Mint Sauce


    had a similar discusion on a UK forum couple weeks ago, although the irish accent faired alrite, the northern accent was not well favoured by the irish members

    i my self, personaly love the northern/ulster accent,


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,846 ✭✭✭Le Rack


    I do like the nordie accents, although I'm livin with a derry man and a donegal lass and the donegal accent is grand but can't understand a word yer man says!

    Have to say I met a Nordie girl a while back and her accent was very cool too.

    Oh and I recall a girl from Kerry whose accent was very soft and refined.

    South African.

    Listening to Norn Iron and New Zealand accents makes we want to stick a kebab skewer into my ear-drums. No doubt, after this, there'll be volunteers to help me.:D

    the scouse accent comes a close second


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 194 ✭✭stcatherine


    Had to go with Swedish in the absence of Finnish or Yorkshire (cant really lump all English accents in the same field)

    hmm... should have seperated dublin to north /south / west dublin. I love the south dub accents, but the others tend to leave a lot desired. Nothing sexy in "deadly anto!"


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 26,061 ✭✭✭✭Terry


    Scottish accent.

    I got drunk one night and decided to order some soft porn from sky.
    I rang sky and tried chatting up the scottish chick on the other end of the phone.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 26,584 ✭✭✭✭Creamy Goodness


    geordie ftw


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,011 ✭✭✭Wisesmurf

    Surprised Liverpool is not on that list. Nothing hotter that a cute bird spake'in the 'ol scouse.

    On the List ? (North) Monaghan . (gets a bit too "Hector" the further south in the county you go).


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,458 ✭✭✭CathyMoran
