    Fav= Soft Irish accent Dublin ...soft southside not too warped though..it is my own:o is that vain? But Irish(most of them) accents are lyrical and soft to me i love them.

    Northern accent is if course the best. (Tho I'm from the north and I like the southern accent) :confused:

    I can't stand South African accents. Very hard to listen to. Not sure of a favorite, maybe Southern US.

    Favourite: Donegal or Suburbs of Cork City - not too knacker, not too cultchie

    Least favourite: South Dublin and rough north Dublin. Some of north Dublin is actually grand but the most part of it is terrible.

    I like the cork accent.


    I have issues with the classifying of D4 or southside accents...mine is the D4 accent BEFORE it became Americanised..it is unblemished and pure soft south Dublin..pure Irish..:) Ok maybe it goes a little 'bad D4 ' :osometimes:o

    Oooh you know the rubberbandits on th Republic of telly? ..i like their accents in thir skits lol:-)

    To be honest a strain of the D4 accent is countrywide now.

    Favourites are Liverpool and the Welsh.
    Can't stand the D4 accent on men or women.

    Ladies with an Australian accent or Norn Iron accent are fan-fcukin-tastic.

    It's not just their accent, it's the little phrases they say that wouldn't work in another accent!

    Least favourite is the Liverpool accent. They sound like they have learning difficulties.

    The worst is Louth/ South Monaghan. Specifically Ardee and Carrickmacross.
    The Dublin accent is crap as well.

    Thats a sweeping statement, there are heaps of Dublin dialects, South side, Inner city, Northside, D4, etc. :)

    I used to love the Norn Irish accent, but then I started going out with a Derry woman and now I can't stand it.

    I'm still with her too. Wish she'd shut the f*ck up.
