    There is not one thing in the world that "everyone" likes. Except of course chocolate milkshakes.

    *Sigh* It seems an accent thread pops up every two weeks

    For the record:
    Dublin North = scanger
    Dublin South = irritating posh elitist
    Northern = terrorist
    Louth = unintelligible
    Cork = leprechaun
    West = farmer
    Midlands = backward idiot

    As for Donegal sexy? Is Mary Coughlan sexy??

    My own two cents:

    Dublin North = The accent is hilarious imo
    Dublin South = Can be pretentious, but funny sometimes
    Northern = Awful whiny noise
    Limerick = Nasty bast**d child of Kerry north/Clare
    Cork = Hilarious sing song
    Kerry = Guttural, but hilarious at times
    Mayo/Galway West = Pig-ignorant farmers
    Midlands = Utter pigs
    Waterford = Nasty bast**d child of East Cork/Kilkenny

    As for the OP's question,

    Donegal accent makes me want to rupture my eardrums with a syringe.

    I don't like chocolate milkshakes - whats wrong with me?? :(

    Aye gotta love the Donegal accent - when its slight though, I have trouble hearing what people say nowadays even without them having a really strong accent!

    I've never noticed a 'Longford' accent, those that do have a bit of a one sound the same as the rest of the boggers with accents. :D

    There was a kid in my class in primary school who had the thickest, most unintelligible Donegal accent ever.

    Our teacher used to always call on him to read and break her sh1te laughing at him. You'd see her hiding behind her book convulsed with laughter.

    Mean but looking back it was pretty funny.
