Think there's noticeable differences in accents within counties. Donegal for example, compare Shay Given with Packie Bonner (or Daniel O'Donnell). Same in Monaghan, Monaghan Town is much more "Northern" than Carrickmacross. For me there's a similar accent from Dundalk across South Armagh, Carrickmacross and into East Cavan.

The first time I was in Cork City centre I thought people were taking the piss or that I'd wandered into a Niall Tobin impersonators convention - really had no idea what a lot of the locals were saying !

I also think that Protestants in the South have a slightly different accent from Catholics

Also think its funny that a lot of people from South City/County Dublin think they don't have a Dublin accent!

Think I like a nice soft Cavan accent the most. But least favourite would be the Cavan accent that sounds like how you get people's attention at a How to Hunt the man-eating great white shark meeting

(For some reason I'm imaging all these accents being spoken by women)

I'd agree with pretty much all of that. And yes, I do have a hint of the Dundalk accent. :pac:

Cork boy!

KilOit · 15-10-2009 09:25AM

Donegal by a long shot and orther end of the stick you got the horrid Cork accent, dreadful.

I have said this before about the Dublin accent and it's true.

Dublin accent... hated by male blokes outside Dublin. Loved by women everywhere. This is why women swarm to the city and let Dublin lads have their way with them. Most of them end up marrying Dublin fella's.

They will NEVER admit this too you and some of them might even come on here and say they don't even like the accent.

A thanks you to all you country lads. Your sisters, mothers (in some cases), daughters and wives are lovely lovely women. I thoroughly enjoyed bringing them home and having such good fun with them. Their hen nights, their "shopping trips", their "girly weekends" are such a gift. They did things with me that they would never dare to do in their little towns, the anonymity of the big city loosens inhibitions and much to my delight gives them a freedom to do unspeakable things. My single life was amazing thanks to your girls melting in the big city.

So, next time wave goodbye to your daughter, mum, sister, cousin, girlfriend, wife as they head off to Dublin, try not think of me and my Dublin friends to much, there is nothing you can do about it.

You aren't really "lolling", are you? You are thinking about the last time your ma visited Dublin, the last time your girlfriend or wife went "shopping" in the city.

Stop talking crap! You're only compensating for the fact that you know it's finally time to come out of closet. But don't worry - isn't it socially acceptable now in Dublin?

And it's actually the opposite - Dublin girls are travelling to other parts of the country for their girly nights out, hen and birthday parties, etc. They say they want a change of scenery and have a quiet night out amongst themselves, but what they're actually thinking is "a night away from this ****-hole and time to get a proper man for myself besides all these wannabes that do more flirting amongst themselves than they do with fine looking girls like us."

Last time i checked there were way more women in dublin than guys.. the girls have to go out of dublin to find a guy.. not that i blame them have u seen the state of some of them dubs:D...

ps... they built the m1 so dubs could get to cork faster;)

Ferris_Bueller · 15-10-2009 05:28PM

For me its what I'm used to so would be Kildare or Dublin. Cant stand accents from the west.

Xavi6 · 15-10-2009 05:29PM

Hard to pick one for the best. Some Dublin accents and Donegal are probably the best, though Monaghan isn't the worst either.

Cork is the worst by a mile. I cringe every time I hear a Cork twang and pity to poor person lumbered with it.

Dublin men with Dublin accents.

Probably because you are a bit ignorant when it comes to the city.

Yes. Being gay is very socially acceptable in Dublin city. What backwater are you from that frowns on the gay community?

No. I wouldn't say that's it. It's probably more likely to be the fact that you and "your Dublin friends", as you called them, are the only ones who think that way.

lightening wrote: »

I never said that people where I'm from frown upon your gay community. I simply said that you shouldn't worry about coming out of the closet because gays are socially accepted in Dublin these days. It doesn't mean that they are not socially accepted elsewhere. It's just that there are so many of you in Dublin that people have gotten used to it. So, as I said, you're not alone up there in your "lovely" city, so don't worry about it.

You are right, there is a vibrant gay community in Dublin with lovely Dublin accents, I am used to being with gay people, in fact I am going on holiday next year with a gay couple. Is your point something about you not being used to gay people? Is that a problem for you?
