Anyone live in, or deal with people, in Northern Ireland?

One of my best mates is from Belfast and you could not wish to meet a kinder, funnier man if you tried.

It is a very aggressive sounding accent though, unlike the softness of the south.

Married one and have been there countless times. A lovely accent and friendly people.

I think you are probably pre-conditioned to imagining that the Rev. Ian Paisley was answering your call and getting flashbacks when you heard the accent.

Donegal, which is just next to NI and have a similar twang, was voted best Irish accent by some survey which I can't remember the name of recently.

I like those slightly `harsher` accents, and singers like Van Morrison can sing love songs and ballads...well really any type of song and you feel its real emotion.
other accents it seems fake emotion, well they make you want to puke!

Northern Ireland best accent on the planet - a real classic .

We all have likes/dislikes about regional accents/dialects. I cant stand Geordie. Blame Cheryl.

Sure it is!

Potaaato, Potato, .

The dulcet tones of Colin Murray.. On second thoughts!

GOT, it certainly isn't my fav, even though my nephew in-law (is there such a thing) is from Belfast.

I like the Welsh accent.
Worked with a few Geordie lasses and loved their accent though I take the point about Cheryl.

Nor mine btf. Although big Jim McDonald had a certain charm about him.. So he did.

Gotta love this

Aye I've seen that .

GOT, Jim's back in the 'Big House'

Best place for him mate.

Big Jim's a legend.

Yeah aka he is, When I was the unwilling partner, (that's my story) in watching this s**** Jim was great value.

Quite a harsh accent tbh.

SH, You're not wrong.

Yes - the Northern Irish are all very NOISY.

I'm not speaking of the accents....just the way they sound angry!

Of course, Ian Paisley came to mind, as did "Strabane Man"

It's only each other we're angry with AP, we're usually a friendly bunch.

Strangely accents in NI differ so much, a Londonderry accent is much different to a Ballymena one which is totally different to Belfast ect.

The man from Strabane, sad thing is I can understand all of what he's saying
