Pah! The Northern Irish accent sucks. I have mates from Londonderry, and they do not sound like that!

What i don't like is that a lot of the speakers also speak like 10 other languages, so the accents can sometimes sound dilluted. I tried all the Boston accents and only one of them sounded like a stereotypical Bostonian. :P
