accents,dialects that get on yer tits

[not on facebook]

within the uk the irish dialect rubs me up the wrong way
to some extent,just gald i dont sound like them.

as for scouse,brum,cockney,geordie,west counrty,manc i can live with all of accents tied to england.

love the yorkshire accent and never had problems with it,well not untill i moved to oslo and most of the ex-pats did not have a clue what i was saying and rib me for it.

'the day i loose me yorks dialect is the day i bugger off back' i would say.

the welsh and scotish are bearable for me.

but there is one national accent that i hate and rubs me up
and turns me off straight away,it can be a man or women or should i say sheilla or bruce....

...yes the aussie dialect i detest,fcuking detest to the point i cant give two fcuks about owt australian.

its got to the point that whatever sport the aussies are in i want them to come last or get beat.

i tell you if had a bar and was selling yer ale at 50p a pint
it would be full of aussie back backers and local aussies.

they would use your pub but at the same time try their best to find a pub selling at 49p or less a pint then fcuk off'
to that place.

'are u showing the rugger'

NO

rite rant over

A strong Northern Ireland accent isn't very easy listening. I'm not keen on Glaswegian either. Or the rising questioning inotation of Australian? Constantly inferring you don't understand what is being said to you? And Sif Ifrican has a brutish guttural sound, at least to my ear.

On the other hand apart from the straight forward flat vowels of Doncaster, I like a nice, mellifluous Welsh accent. And the Brummy accent is made for telling jokes, it has a natural sarcastic tone. And there is something quite special about a Nu Yark accent when applied to swearing. No one swears quite as well as Joe Pesci.

The Australian accent in itself isn't too bad, but the 'are you understanding me?' intonation drives me mad if it is not within the Australian accent. To me, it implies that the speaker thinks that the person they are talking to is thick, and doesn't understand the most simple of sentences.

I don't normally mind the Scouse accent, but Ronnie Moore's makes my teeth itch.

[River Don]

The Scouse accent is interesting. It's being over-run by the scally \"dee do doh, don't dee doh?\" sound and is it just me or does it seem to be getting stronger and more cggrchh phlegm sounding over the years?

There was a time when Scousers just as often used to speak like Ringo Starr, Roger McGough and John Lennon. That accent seems to be on the wain now.

There's a new female presenter on Sky Sports News with an Irish accent.....she really gives me an itch

I can't stand this new London accent, where the f**k did that come from? Even white kids are speaking like it. I just want to break their jaw when I hear it.

[CusworthRovers]

The other thing about the Aussie's (like the Americans). They always have to talk loud and ensure everyone hears them around London transport or on the streets. It's just a case of letting everyone know 'yes that's right, I'm an Aussie, now please talk to me, as I feel you want too, being curious and all that'............erm shut the fcuk up, you're the 100'th we've seen and heard today.


As stated above, I feel accents are getting worse and broader. Most Northern accents sounded the same give or take a slight twang, but now they are massively different.

Of course you can narrow accents down in Donny. The hillbillies in Cunni, Den-Abbey and Mexboro do not speak proper Donny.

Having said all that. I love a W Country accent, but I do confuse it with a deep Norfolk accent.

Don't know if your new London accent Nudga is the same thing that pisses me off but there's a new seemingly 'national' accent developed that lots of the young female tv and radio presenters have adopted, and they all seem averse to sounding plain old 'O's and 'oo's properly, replacing them with 'ai's and 'ee's. So the traffic reporter, instead of saying 'route' will say 'reewt', and if you're on your way 'home' you're on your way 'haim'.

it reyt fcuckin winds me up!!  :angry:

[jucyberry]

It isn't so much accents that irritate me,  so much as the wierd sounds.....

Sorry to get on the Liverpool bandwaggon, but I can't bear that whole 'erm' thing that the likes of the Rooneys come out with in every interview.

It's funny really, Norfolk and West County accents are always compared, but we had what sounded like a Bristol girl in the shop the other week and she sounded nothing at all like anything I have ever heard round here. Although I guess because both are soft, mellow accents they compare on some level....

I am in no way broad sounding, the fella says I sound posh Norfolk, but when I came up in August we were accosted by an odd little woman whilst we were eating who wanted to know where I had got my top from, she didn't understand me at all.....

(Mind you, she was incredibly odd, and boy could her and her husband and daughter eat, I have never seen so much food on a plate, and she had seconds.........lol)

but I digress, listening to the fella on Tuesday on the way home from the game an old chap came on the radio, and his accent was so strong I couldn't make head nor tail of it.

The errrrrrrrrrm thing (also add a sniff, a pretend cough, the hand going through the hair, scratching the back of the head and many more), may be a thing to buy them time, to answer a question. These guys are not trained public speakers. It's either

1- a sign of lack of confidence in their ability to speak and believe they will not say the right thing, hence the errrm buys them time to evaluate the question and ensure it is answered in a way that is corporate ie. Footballers do this

2- a deep thinker who wants time to give a deep answer or not give anything away. Sean does this with many errrrrms or a long pause before answering



Foreign players, invented by Jurgen Klinsman use the 'yeah for sure.....' at the start of each answer to buy them time for translation reasons.

All the above, could be all a load of b*llocks (and b*llocks to it all... Specials), but it sounds good to me

[BillyStubbsTears]

The one that gets me lashing out at the kids in world-weary frustration is when highly paid news presenters say \"sickth\" for the ordinal number that comes after \"fifth\".

Learn how to talk properly or get the freak off my telly you retard.

They talk Funny in Thorne, but I think it`s because the have n`t fully developed a language there yet. It`s just a mixture of grunting noises and pointing, weird under developed lot they are!
