Norn Iron specifically Belfast, is like listening to nails on a chalkboard to me. Heavy Brum is the worst though, as even the most intelligent Brummie sounds like they need L & R written on their slip ons.
Without a doubt. The reason its the most annoying isn't just because its sounds gay as ****, but because its made up. Regional accents cant be helped, but when you have someone from London speaking like a total ******, in a non-London accent, they have chosen to speak Spastic, it was an actual decision they made "hmmm, How could I possibly sound like a total ****? I know!" The annoying inflection they put on words ending in oo or ou or ew. Words like "you", "crew" etc. Just ****ing hunt them down and chemically castrate all of them. Troopz from Arsenal fan TV is a good example of this ****wittery......
I like Brum but they can be having the happiest day of their lives and they sound miserable. They're the UK's Eeyore.
Exactly I know people like Ian Paisley didn’t promote the accent in a great way. But it’s such a harsh clipped accent, it just makes people sound angry. @Tobes description was spot on, it’s like listening to nails being scraped down a blackboard.
Why risk it, when a short distance south of the border will find you a beautiful Celtic lass with a mellow lilt that’s smooth like butter.
I know a part of you believes I talk like that but I dont Anyway my favourite is the Irish accent when spoken by an attractive female
