    Katie Taylor.

    Father Fitzgerald. He has an awful dreary monotonous voice, God help him . . .

    It's either Joan Burton or Katie Taylor I can't decide - I think we should make them fight and the looser gets the title.

    Win / Win

    Mary Lou "we the party" McDonald.

    800 years of oppression to create that voice.

    Her voice is actually getting worse as she is getting older. It’s very very difficult to listen to her, especially when she thinks she is being smart, and puts on that condescending tone where she slows down slightly and almost sneers out what she is tying to say.

    Speaking of SF, that Eoin Ó Broin also has a very annoying voice. What is it about SF, privately educated toffs from South Dublin, and being lectured about fantasy economics that is so annoying??

    What about that absolute "we're backing brave" bint from the AIB ads. Sounded like she was a nanosecond away from crying.

    A thinly-disguised homage to the Shinners. Where does Shane Ross live?

    What’s your point my friend?

    Has to be Nugent. Some posh accents sound okay on girls(depending how posh) but on a man it sounds so stupid. He sounds like a 3rd year in Muckross

    You mention 'toffs', I present thee a plum candidate.

    Before we get the inevitable list anyone who has ever uttered a word on air from RTE, I propose the entire staff of RTE.

    George Hook.

    Like listening to a rusty concrete mixer with a few shovelfuls of gravel fcuked into it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 155 ✭✭Geimhreadh


    ****ing Ben Dunne and he's ****ing ads for he's ****ing gyms.

    Sounds like he's chewing a steak and about to have a heart attack.

    Marian Finucane. I just can't listen to her. Maybe that's more her opinions than her voice... Or the Aer Lingus in flight ad voice

    Mirriam O' Callaghan. An absolute dose.

    Mary Wilson. (Bad-news-reader) Ingratiating Schadenfreude whiner, can't stand her.

    Is anyone keeping a Eurovision-style score on this?

    Who's leading the poll?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,292 ✭✭✭jiltloop


    Padraig Harrington, I actually feel sorry for him. He sounds like a 5 year old Kermit the Frog with learning difficulties.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,464 ✭✭✭SAMTALK


    The lad who does traffic report on Matt Cooper show. Talks like he has a mouth full of gobstoppers and is trying to sound post
