    Following on from "The most annoying voice on radio"

    I reckon it has to be that plonker "Mark Robson" (rugby commentator) not only is his voice worse than nails on a blackboard, my 9yo son knows more about the game than he ever will.............

    Linda Martin (though not on tv much these days thank God!). Also, the worst person in the world award should go to her too.

    Joe Pasquale - the fella with the squeaky voice who is currently doing Lotto Bingo scratchcard ads on UK television. Does my nut.

    Hmm...off the top of my head, Jim Beglin, his football commentary is like driving nails into my eardrums.
    Many more to follow when I've had a think...

    Hmm, far be it from me to pick on RTÉ but:

    Paul Reynolds, OUR-TEEE-EEEeee crime correspondent...solely for his handover to the studio. STFU already.
    Niamh Nolan...sorry but it's like listening to someone at a school play.

    Away from RTÉ and back to BB hating, Davina McCall is pretty annoying, but it's her mannerisms as much as her intonation...

    Ryle Nugent - RTE Rugby. I specifically only watch BBC coverage because of him.

    That Australian guy from I Dare Ya.

    Ed Byrne - he's gonna get a punch. Right in the nose.

    Ryle Nugent - RTE Rugby.

    his voice doesn't bother me that much, it's more his lack of knowledge that would make me switch. I reckon Robson and Nugent read the same rugby books.....

    Was going to say Ed Byrne but somebody already said him so I'll say the guy that sometimes does the Lotto, (he also did OB sport on RTE and used to be on 2fm).

    Edit: just remembered his name, Shane O'Donoghue.

    Tell me about it. Years ago we only had one tv in the house and my mum and sisters watched coronation street religiously. It drove me mad.

    That plank Jim Fahy. Ciaran Mullooley and Plastic Sheeting are pretty awful too.
