            Pretty much anyone from the North part of the UK, who isn't from Northern Ireland. Most of our accents are horrible.

                it's all so singsongy and lyrical.

                Canadian accents FTW with the exception of the Newfoundland accent which is a bastard hybrid of Irish and Bristolian.

              Particularly Glaswegian.

              Doesn't fall into the categories of snobby, whiney, fake or irrating that a lot of others do.

            • Not targeting you

              or anything, threadman, but re: Northern Irish-

              They have the same tone all the time. Its like this sort of bored, can't be arsed way of speaking, and from what I've heard, it seems to restrict them from actually being emotive, even to a tiny extent.

              wrightylew | 24 Aug '07, 01:44 | X
              • there are loads of different northern irish ones though

                maybe not as obvious to the untrained ear. but... they are different.

                just like southern irish ones.
