That’s the lad Johnny, pulled the ripcord a good while back.

Past 30 posts now and I have to be the one to bring up Joan Burton?! :-)

I wonder does she put that on just for laughs?

Gwynplaine · 31-07-2018 09:45AM

That Janet Street Porter wan and Joe Pasquale.
And of course, Gay Byrne.

Elephant Self Storage.

Nawwt, nawwt, nawwt, nawwt...

Joan Burton

Edit: I see topper75 had the same idea!

Mary Lou McDonald, Una Mullaly and anyone else who speaks with that annoying uptalk at the end of every sentence

Alison Spittle

Katherine Lynch

Graham Norton

Listening to the world cup commentary got me thinking about how annoying some voices can be.

Reason being, I love football but I felt a lot of matches this year were ruined by the irratating, nasaly whingy voice of Brian Kerr. The man has a voice like a graveyard gate slowly being closed. Speaks in a horrific doooblin dialect which makes half of what he says indecipherable. Awful stuff.

Any particular voices or dialects you dislike?

That Pascal O Donohue guy, I hate to say it, but is he retarded or something ?

castletownman · 31-07-2018 10:30AM

"Can I just say"....Joan Burton.

Al Porter and Alan Porter. Essentially the same schtick.

Ricky Gervais and his tendency to laugh at his own jokes.

From a non-celebrity perspective, anyone that feels the need to put on a fake south Dublin accent to make themselves come across as more important than they actually are. So essentially anyone in the finance industry or who follow Leinster rugby.

andekwarhola · 31-07-2018 11:17AM

PJ Gallagher and his cartoon Pet Howya accent.

Whatever woman it is that does those turbo D4 voicerovers on Radio Nova.

Different ends of the accent spectrum; both equally demanding of a touch of the sledgehammer.

Star Bingo · 31-07-2018 11:32AM

High pitched voices like they swallowed helium / gruff sweary voices that’d make the sweet baby Jesus wince

Tone it down like. It’s like they’re being gratituously loud with it to boot what has them animated so.... awful to be within earshot, stfu

As a matter of interest does anyone from South Dublin have an accent? Or are they all just faking the lot of them?

DoozerT6 · 31-07-2018 11:48AM

Matt Cooper. Just....not a voice for radio IMO.

And yet, there he is.

cstaff · 31-07-2018 11:54AM

RTE News Reporter Niamh Ni (as gaeilge) - cant remember her name but she has a really strong Norn Iron accent and is painful to listen to. Even if she is reporting on something that I am interested in I still switch over.

Funnily enough, I was at a funeral of a fella last week who had moved into the area 20 odd years ago, that I always assumed was a "north-sider" based on his accent. But it turns out he was a dye-in-the-wool Dundrum native.

So on that basis alone, I assume a lot of them are faked, based on how high up the society ladder they are of course.

Miley Byrne · 31-07-2018 12:20PM

Dave McIntyre

I certainly "move the dial" when I hear his condescending voice. Bad enough that TV3 got the 6 nations without installing that know-all as lead commentator

Sure Ronnie Drew was from Dun Laoighre

The guy who does the RTÉ promo ads "On awwwwwr sheeee one"

Fergal Bowers. Finishes each phrase as if he's going to cry. Specially if it's a bad news HSE story.

norabattie · 31-07-2018 12:25PM

Brian Kerr for sure - goes through me for some reason

Of course they are. It only reached the likes of Dundrum, Ballinteer and Rathfarnham in the last 30 years. It coincided with an upsurge in people going to college.

Pascal Sheehy, RTE news......long pause..... Cark.

he talks like a fella who has a head cold, whilst simultaneously trying to contain a bout of explosive diarrhea.

Agreed. And he is far more insufferable on Off the Ball, particularly during their crappy quiz segment, or a day or two after Dublin have won a game.

I think it's a tactic by this government. If you can't bare to listen to them you can't get worked up enough to want to oust them.

Presumably you prefer the monotonous whine of the Greater Speckled Coppinger in full flight?

Gallachoir?

Me too. Always sounds as though she is really wrestling with the English language - and losing the fight!

RWCNT · 31-07-2018 01:05PM

Ben Shapiro and Jordan Peterson (aka Kermit the Frog) properly go through my head.

Also Emma Watson or anyone with that kind of upper class English accent.
