What's the worst accent?

Cork, like.

Cant stand it, ****in langers.

If you're from Cork you end your sentences in a high note!

Chris Barry's (dunno if he's still on radio)

Hmm looks like I'm going to have to keep my lazy Southside drawl to myself at the next beers

At least it's not an extreme Southside accent- I don't say dorsh but sometimes I don't fully manage the "ow" sound in words like "round" and there's a slight "raind" to it (only slight, mind you!). The more I drink the more D4 I become. I'm sure if you graphed "number of Oh My God's" per sentence versus units of alcohol consumed it'd be proportional!

The most annoying Irish accents have to be either the really thick country accents from the general south of the country- I'm thinking Tipperary in particular- or the "Traditional" Dublin accent- the kind you'd hear on Moore St. or henry St. wrecks my head. That said, I do like the way the ladies in the cafeteria in work say "luv" and "darling"- makes me feel special

Oh also Asians speaking English with a heavy accent (i.e. not raised through English or having attended international schools). Heavy Chinese/ Japanese etc. accents are pretty irritating to listen to.

I definitely think Jedward have taken the mid-Atlantic accent to the next level.

Hate the Welsh and D4 accents with a vengeance:(. Welsh people sound like they're singing the whole time, most f**king annoying. And Cheryl Cole or Tweedy or whatever's accent, its a pity as she's so pretty. Apart from the D4 accent , there isn't any other Irish accent I find annoying. Sad to see the Waterford / Tramore accent getting a slagging





Sobs silently to herself, for her children....

North Cork or Monaghan!!

there is this urban irish middle class accent which sounds heavily influenced by US TV that alot the school kids speak all over the country I think we can all agree that is quiet annoying

Which part of North Cork? Thats a county in itself. Are we talking the Mallow accent? - which is your more stereotypical Cork accent, or are we talking Fermoy? - which is more of a rural accent, or maybe you're referring to Mitchelstown? - which is a mishmash of a North Cork-South Limerick-West Tipp accent.

The Vuvuzela accent, can't understand a word of it..

My own accent when I hear myself in a video. Awful.
