Not the scummy one but the standard Belfast accent. Each to their own guys!

Ah to be fair it might be one of those "it's not you, it's me" things.

My first experience with a large crowd of Nordies was at a Tiesto gig back in 2007. Hardly the best representation of our Ulster friends to begin with, but the real problem was that I’d taken a sizeable dose of the worst drug known to man, BZP. Anyone with experience of this satanic molecule will know it’s pretty conducive to paranoia even in comfortable situations, but in a huge, dark room full of Belfast’s finest, tops off and cawing in the harshest accent known to man….

let’s just say there are emotional scars that have yet to fully heal. I’ve had great banter with some lovely nordies since, but I’ll be in my thirties before I’m completely over it.

Hearing a girl from Belfast say "Ach, you're a wee darlin'" or "A wee pet" is like music to my ears

One of those deep sexually repressed Monaghan-Cavan accents.

Yes the nice female mid american accent is easy on the ear. Regional US accents are OK too if they omit the Ahmmm, Like, No you di'int, You go girl, Oh snap, kin, kinfolk, gittin it, Pa where's ma neckercheif, Fer Sure..... the list goes on I'm afraid

Same as myself, quite like some American accents, but then some make you want to scream and puke all at the same time. Canadian and American accents are nice to listen to sometimes.

Ha ha alright! Bad experience association maybe? I just think it can be a beautiful accent. Maybe I just haven't heard the scummy version?? I guess it'd be the difference between the northside and southside accent in Cork.

Also love the Russian accent on a girl.

A well spoken Dub - not D4 marbles, mind - is really sexy.

bernardo mac · 05-01-2011 01:12PM

Female Welsh accent is music to me still.Romantic?Sure and unapologetic

Whats your favorite International accent ? For me its the female Aussie one.

What about you ?

Dutch.

I don't know why, I love a Dutch accent, both in German and in English. As long as they don't start to speak actual Dutch, cause that absolutely kills it for me.

Wickus from District 9 has the funniest accent ever!

yeppydeppy · 05-01-2011 02:22PM

I generally dislike the Limerick accent but I met this girl the other night and she had an accent similar to Dolores O'Riordan and it was sexy as hell!
Definitely not the Aussie accent - it's way to whingy.

Lorrs33 · 05-01-2011 02:36PM

I love the Welsh accent

pablomakaveli · 05-01-2011 02:42PM

Female English accents bar Liverpool and Newcastle are nice.

Australian accents and French can be pretty sexy as well.

Some Eastern european girls i know sound nice as well but it varies.

The Antrim accent, nicest of all the Northern Irish accents.

Ever since I was inter railing I stayed in a hotel with one 4 bed room used like a hostel. It was owned by a young french couple, and the wife was stunning. Petite, long dark hair and smooth, sallow skin. I woke up after the first night there a little hungover and she was sweeping the room in a white short summery dress and as I stirred she just smiled at me and said "bonjour" very softly.

Luckily I was lying on my front, but ever since then it's that accent. Mmmmm.

Met some people from Zimbabwe before and they sounded like this - hilarious, love it!

when you say you dont like the "Limerick accent" to which accent do you refer? The upper class Ennis Road one? the middle class Dooradoyle/Castletroy one? Or maybe the working class Moyross/Thomondgate one? Like any city, it has more than just one accent.

Hers would have been more working class at the start but its changed a lot of the years as she lived in different places. Its still mainly working class though

Wouldnt agree, I think eastern european girls trying to speak english sounds awfull! Especially the hosties on Ryanair mumbling on the PA system, can barley hear a word they are trying to say. Cant understand how there can be so little Irish hosties working for mick.
