    I'm trying to listen to talksport just now but there's some scouser on the phone.

    Is scouse the single most annoying accent on the entire planet?

    I've turned it off, can't listen to it anymore.

    The one I find difficult to listen to on Talk Sport is Georgia Whatsit on Sundays, she's got such a plummy accent yet she's had at least one of PJ and Duncan up her.

    Talk Spurt regularly have some Scouse journo from The Times on and the ****er just doesn't stop saying "you know" in every sentence. He's even said "you know" three times in the same sentence with only two other words in it - "you know, like, you know, yeah, you know" **** knows what his written word is like, I can only hope there is a button on Word Document that automatically removes any trace of being a scouse ****.

    We've done the **** accent thread a fair few times already and Scouse comes out on top with Geordie and Brum up there. Even though I am from London I have to agree that the cockerneeee nasal whine is awful. I don't mean the put-on Del Boy stuff, have a listen to that utter **** Bob Crow from the RMT if you want an example.

    I just hate all accents, including my own 'wedgie one.

    In fact, I'm just coming to terms with the fact that I just don't like people. Bring on "I am Legend".

    Watching SSN at the weekend and there was a bit on the goal in the Hibs game that went over the line but wasn't given. They interviewed Leigh Griffiths and I couldn't understand a ****ing word he said!! I was expecting subtitles.

    We've gone one better that Wigger in London - the yoot of today are spouting some sort of homogenous clumping together of cockney, american, west indian and bangladeshi (sometimes called Anglodeshi) mixed in with speech based on text speak. When you are on a bus with a bunch of school children it is like being a visitor to a foreign country.

    All well and good talking in a language that you and your mates can understand but when they can't switch it off and speak like that in school and in public it is little wonder the youth unemployment figures are so shocking. I have failed candidates for not being able to speak properly. If you don't know the difference between street speak and talking like a grown up then you don't deserve a job.

    Newcastle accent is by far the worst one in the UK, closely followed by the Brummie and the Scouse.

    Bomb England.
