    Although I am from drogheda I must agree it isn't the nicest accent ...However in Drogheda today I was just sitting there eatting my chips and crystal swing walked in for a bit to eat ...The whole place were doing their best to keep in their laughter :)

    Germans talking sound like their arguing all the time when they are probably just saying hows it going.
    also 'hoi oim moichael mocmullen' ..aaaargh

    I hate Aussie accents. They sound, I dunno, so forced and drawling. Like they're choking on something...and I have a load of Aussie relatives who would kill me for saying that but its true!

    I can just about tolerate Aussie accents, but just want to punch New Zealanders. They could be saying nice things to me, but they just incite me to violence with every twisted vowel.

    The american accent that kids nationwide have picked up from watching too much of 'The Hills' and other muck, they parade around calling each other a 'douche' and a 'jerk'.

    It's a step up from the 'Oh my Gods!' and saying 'like' at every opportunity, it's pandemic

    I agree with Drogheda, closely followed by Dundalk, The Louth county is particularly retarded as well.

    Drogheda probably tops the list, but I'm in Sligo for a few weeks and I have to say the accent is terrible!! I don't even know how you would describe it.
    Sorry Sligo people but its pretty bad

    In England, and apologies in advance to Tom, but fúck me the brum accent is awful. In fairness, Nottingham is even worse though. I also hate that raspy "ohhh I did a gap year and have a nose ring and smoke white widow at glastonbury and have dreadlocks but my accountant parents think it's disgusting but i'm a free spirit" accent. Didn't know how else to describe it.

    Over here, definitely Drawdaaa, closely followed by the fake teenage girl DORT accent.

    Cavan (especially on the women), Donegal, Monaghan, Derry, Cork, Kerry, D4, those that aren't from D4 but try to sound like they are, Manchester, Geordie, Liverpool and most American accents. I think that'll do

    Scandanavian accents, just from complete jealousy of their uncanny ability to speak better English than the majority of natural English speakers

    Who cares what they sound like.... when they look the way they do...Yum!

    Brummy accent. I've had people laugh in my face before purely because of my accent.

    Not good

    Normally I'd say the inner Dub accent, but I heard a bunch of young Irish-africans today in Limerick. Sounded like they were born here but had that awful hood accent mixed with a Limerick drawl.

    Love the drogheda accent. Lived there for ten years. "giv us a sta ba and a ma's ba". worst accent ever must be Maria Doyle Kennedy's Spanish accent in the Tudors. Horrendous.

    Out of curiosity how many Dublin accents do you think there is?:p

    I was referring to the North-side one (which is probably not just confined to the North-side). I would only be familiar with these ones...The main Dublin accent which is just horrible, I just think of heroin when I hear it. Then there is the Anglo-Irish one spoken by Garret Fitzgerald (is this the actual one spoken in D4?) The American/D4 one which is not exclusive to Dublin. Heck! I probably have a bit of it myself. Then there is the normal one which has a hint of the North-side but actually sounds respectable.

    I'm from County Cork, but go to college in Cork city. I like to think I have a neutral accent with a hint of the Cork accent.

    I must hear the Drogheda one. I actually like the Dundalk one. I like a lot of accents, I can do a lot of accents too. Someone mentioned the accents of the people on the Jeremy Kyle show, truly disgusting. I like the Geordie and Yorkshire accent though. I love the accent of Judy Geller (Ross and Monica's mother) in Friends.

    Yes but at least we know the plural of the word "you" without having to invent a new word altogether. ;)

    I think someone was giving out about Miriam O' Callaghan's accent earlier. This is hilarious! I can't post it normally, can somebody tell me how to. Please!

    "Ye" is perfectly acceptable, so long as it is followed by a very loud and piercing "HAW"
