    Not the western suburbs of Sydney, that's for sure.

    Or that horrible Melbourne accent in Kath and Kim either.

    Great accent.

    For me though, it has to be Seth Efreca or Way-els.

    You never put in regular Dublin accent, it's neither knacker or yuppie, just plain Dub - I like that one :D

    For attractiveness I'm not really a fan of any of them tbh. Maybe Galway.

    Otherwise Belfast.

    The Limerick accent is hugely entertaining. Not all Limerick accent-havers are skobes either. Then Letrim/Cavan.

    Edit: LOL, I can't believe Limerick is in the lead at this stage :D

    What's a Tipperary accent?

    Never heard one before that's all!

    My accent changes depending who I'm talking to, it's not intentional, and when I'm drunk it gets worse :(

    Exactly! What is it? I am always told though. I am from Limerick but the town is almost in Kerry.

    The Limerick City accents are great

    Waterford accents are great; well boy! antin hectic you going downtown at all? No boy.

    Neither is Sligo, but I took is as a compliment that we don't have an accent that stands out too much!

    OP: there's something wrong with your ears if you think one accent covers all of the northside (or southside).

    Poll reported.

    Knacker Dublin AKA northside
    Yuppie Dub AKA Southside


    I take it you are not from Dublin then eh? Those are the only options? *shakes head.

    We did this before, the poll was better then.

    This is for you.
