    For me on a girl the best accent is donegal, scouse, london(not cockney just the nice accent!) some other nordy accents and for some reason i dont mind D4 accent!

    Awful ones for me are northside dublin(worst for me by a long shot! DUUUURRTTTYY!!)scobey limerick, american, the "ULSTER SAYS NO!!!) accent coined by ian paisley...

    funny accents for me that I think are brilliant to listen to, Geordie/mackem(the commentator fella from pete vs life), strong welsh valleys accent(Rhod Gilbert), aussie(not melbourne! sydney accent and the accent the killer in wolf creek has), south african and NZ!

    what you guys think?

    You just can't beat a nice Scottish accent on a lass. The Derby (?) accent like that wan from Misfits has is rotten.

    Favourite accent has to be the Australian accent.

    Don't like the Cork accent nor the D4 accent to be honest.

    Scottish accent on a girl is tops, strong Louth accent is shocking.

    French, American (general, not region specific - some awful Cork like ones around there too) , posh London - all sexy.

    Cork, Limerick, Newcastle, all frightening on a girl. Although Cork can be a funny auld accent on a hot girl.

    yeah limerick and cork can be bad on a girl (the "cmere i wancha!!!" on) but accents like the common one on Eleanor from take me out was class! I know it's a cork accent but it's almost identical to Limerick!

    jesus steve staunton and steven hunt have awful accents!

    I've a thick limerick accent(very flat, like cork but without the singing!) and the scouse girls loved it!:D

    Favourite would be east London.

    Least favourite would be Australian? I hate that accent? Everything's a question?

    And a dishonourable mention for the Dublin 4 style accent.

    Take an accent from any city, there's great sounding variations and pure awful ones.

    For me the more foreign sounding they are the better

    Excuse me, my OH has a D4 accent and I find it sexy.

    Ever since she moved in with me from Wexford it been like listening to birds sing when she talks.

    Best:
    There's a really nice German accent that appears to come about from them living in the UK for a spell. It's surprisingly soft and lovely to listen to, surprising considering I'm not really one for English accents at all, but it's quite different to that too.

    I like listening to certain people speaking German, it gets nicer the further north you go, again it's surprisingly soft and very cute on the right guy.

    Scottish remains my all-time favourite, I don't care what region, I love all of them.

    Most Irish accents I really love.

    Depends:
    Australian is a funny one. Sometimes I really, really love it, other times I can't stand the sound of it.

    Same with New Zealand.

    Various Eastern European accents can really, really suit some men, and just not work at all for others. But when it works, it works. :pac:

    Worst:
    French, Spanish, Italian. The romance languages grate on my ears from men. They suit women far better.

    Don't like Asian accents at all. Including the Middle East in that.

    Dublin accent bothers me for some reason.

    Was speaking to a lady recently who is fairly well travelled, she has a gorgeous neutral accent, absolutely enchanting, could listen to it forever.

    I like South African, London, Middle class Dublin, Galway, Swedish accents.
    Auld dublin is super, but not very sexually attractive. Ditto Scouse accent.

    I dislike Cork, D4, Limerick, War - ta - ford, Wexford.

    Spoken by a woman, my favourites are the French & SA. I like some Scottish accents too but others really irritate me.

    Worst by a long way is the Scouse. Christ that's one horrible accent!


    I met a German guy once who lived in Scotland for a long time. Very funny mix :pac:

    Interesting. I think arab accents are a distant cousin to Dublinese myself. I find they shorten words and pronounce vowels in a similer manner to Dubliners when speaking English.

    I noticed this when I heard some Arabs in Dublin and though ''whoa they got the accent quick'' but then I heard some people from the middle east on TV and noticed it there too.

    Also you don't get this at all from South Asians or other areas surrounding the middle east, seems to be an Arabic thing

    theres about 4/5 limerick city accents alone..

    northside scobe sounds a bit like cork scobes(blindboyboatclub from rubberbandits, concy ryan are actually 2 good examples!),

    southside scobe (flatter than northside, no singing like cork people),

    the "normal" accent(just a boring accent that munster players from limerick use in interviews)

    the general accent, like a normal cork accent without the singing

    as a matter of interest, where are you from stimpson?
