Uh...what's an Ee'sham? Never mind, I think I have enough idea to know that I don't want to know.
I don't actively dislike many accents, but Irish ones are the ones that tend to make me ignore possible bad points in men (eg, psychopathic tendencies, looks like robin cook, etc)
Well, it's only odd that I did because I've never been to Europe, much less Britian. But then again, I read a lot.

Ah, but do you know how people from Michigan tell you where in the state they're from?

To quote one of my older posts regarding Shakespearean language...
"For in the words of the Bard...
Honest, fair Bea, people dost speak that way
In Stratford's merrie town, and merriley
Dost they scorn to use a diktionary.
For foul are words prescrib'd by authors here unknown.
Thus, unkempt in verse, with metre scorned,
We've got 15 acres, and you've got forty more,
And we've got a brand new combine harvester
And we'll give you the key. Zoider, Zoider, Suicoider la la la la la etc."
Tymens (2002)
Ee'sham dialect is worse....

This is the work of an Italian narco-anarchic collective. Don't bother insulting them, they can't read English anyway.
True Glasweigan is definitely another language, but I like it. Guess it's something to do with having a soft spot for Alex Harvey. I like the Welsh accent too, even though it can be difficult to take it seriously sometimes.
Funny how prolonged attempts at Scouse often turns into Peter Sellers' Pakistani.
