    I do! Some of them are horrible but some can be lovely.

    Yes, when she starts talking I know I'm right in there :D

    About as much as I love the sound of a kitten vomiting.

    I like some of them. Some awful ones of course but you'll get that anywhere that you can identify differences (i.e. the Irish all sound the same to some people but we know different sources...)

    There are so many different ones as different as Derry and Kerry accents you can hardly lump them all together and say you either like or don't like!

    Ooooh ar ;)

    I'm not a big fan of the west country accent.

    I think the London accent is pretty sexy though!

    Posh English accents are nice!

    :D

    might sound weird but i love the scouse accent


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,331 ✭✭✭✭bronte


    It depends on the accent. Some make my ears sad!

    Alot of my cousins are English, from Coventry. They sound like brummies and get tetchy when you mention it.

    I always mention it

    I love some English accents .Living in England has no baring on my likeness for them ,I would still like them if I lived in ireland or timbucktu .


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,561 ✭✭✭Rhyme


    A few of them are really nice. I have a soft spot for how English girls say my name too.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 212 ✭✭lgoring21


    not at all....came home from disneyland paris and i think i had picked up a bit of a twang...theyre everywhere...squeaky horribleness


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 287 ✭✭Melange


    Some are lovely; the accent of a well-spoken, well educated English person can be a pleasure to listen to. Stephen Fry springs to mind here.

    Most English accents are pretty horrible, though - like listening to a monkey attempting to speak.

    I'm surrounded by it ,There is a variation in the scouse accent as there is for instance in the Dublin one .

    Was over at a match in Liverpool recently, having a bite to eat in some fast food place when a woman came in and made some daft minute long announcement while talking quite fast. Apparently she was scouse and I could not catch anything she was saying. When I can understand it I love the scouse accent...most of it is abuse in the football stadium..


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,358 ✭✭✭Dennis the Stone


    I likes them.

    Well, not the new chavtastic kind, the one where every sentence ends with 'basically,' or 'know what i mean.'
