Can't stand the bloke's accent who does the Big Brother commentary, although Geordie doesn't usually irritate me at all, I guess his must be more exaggerated.
The scouse accent sounds like loads of radio interference.
Love a Georgia, Lancashire and Glaswegian accent. South Wales is OK if it's a soft accent - too thick and they just sound like they're taking the piss all the time.
Despise scouse (living up here, the worst are the scum clearance estate towns like Skelmersdale and Warrington)
Foreign accent wise, I live a Sicilian and Neapolitan accent up hate Northern Italian, and love Southern Spanish but hate Madrileno. Canarian Spanish is just fucking weird.

Which Georgia, the US state or the East European country?
Any accent with a lilting or musical quality is always pleasing. Years ago I gave away several hours of detailed specialist VAT advice and my own time just because the soft Bristol burr of the voice on the other end of the phone enchanted me so. There wasn't even a remote possibility of meeting the person, the attraction remained strictly aural. I probably kidded myself she was equally charmed by my winning combination of bluff sarf-east london directness and erudite humour. The truth is she gleefully took what she needed while it was all fresh, exciting and new but the calls dried up soon enough. She only wanted me for my mind.
They have a bit of a country accent down here (those that are born and bred down here), I'm always accused of being a DFL (down from London, even though I'm from NW Kent).....back to the OP....Scouse apart from that don't really mind any other regional accents.
I was on a London bus driven by a rather grumpy Welsh driver who was basically telling off all his passengers. Then this young casual fella started ringing the bell repeatedly to be let off at the next stop and shouted out, 'I'm gettin' off because I can't stand your f*ckin' Welsh accent.'
I love the whole science of accents/dialects/idiolects - least fave is what is not considered an accent at all - posh c***s like David Cameron who speak so called Received Pronunciation- it inspires a curious violence within me
My daughters Kent accent is gradually transitioning into a Lancashire one. One of the side effects of moving up north. By the time she is a teenager I won't be able to understand a word she says.
Thus saying I dislike your Landon accents & London people in general, when OUR Country has got into the mess it has due to the amount of non English people over here, its really a breath of fresh air in the smoke. I'll tolerate it as its English, don't like it, but at least most who sound it are English.

WTF are you talking about?
Assumed we had all unconsciously agreed to ignore the WUM

You hate londoners but there are too many foreigners so I dont mind them now?
I hate with a passion the Geordie accent on display here - Ray Hudson is an utter, utter cock - the most ridiculous accent ever & a total Sid Waddell rip off. Cancelled my subscription to the TV channel he blights...

I have an unfortunate habit of unintentionally imitating people, but do it quite badly.
I spent two years working in Newcastle and ended up with this horrendous sort of London/Geordie combo which no one could understand. Or as the locals would say: that gadgie's a propa wazzock. In the end, it was good to be gan yem. But, still, the Geordie dialect would be my favourite. (I think it counts as a dialect because they have so many different words in their vocabulary rather than just a different pronunciation of regular words).
The reason for the way they speak in the North East becomes clearer when you compare their pronunciation of "going home" - gan yem - to the very similar Norwegian words - går hjem. They are after all pretty much Vikings but without the hats.
I'm thinking the word blatherskite was made especially for Karl Robinson.
Least favourite would be the County Tyrone version of Norn Irish. It's impenetrable.

I'm not sure I like the sentiments of this largely unintelligible post

A couple of them were from Cork but if you asked them where they came from their accent made it sound like they were from "Cock"!
Technically correct, I suppose ...
(made that up before anyone Googles...)

Even during a cordial conversation they sound like they're about to knock seven bells out of each other.
*no disrespect intended*
Don't like fake porn accents.
'Aah yes' uttered by an English lady should not be done so in an American accent.
Hate a strong Scouse accent.
Is that what you just said?
Yanks love him though.
Is Cafcfan's choice based on George Cunningham from Strabane? He lived to be 90.
