Time to get on a plane and start talking...
Finally, science(ish) has proven what we always suspected, us Irish lads have the goddamn sexiest accents in the world. The entire world.
The surely reliable people at OnePoll.com asked 5,000 women worldwide what accent was deemed the sexiest and we left the Italians, French and English trailing in our smooth-talking wake.
The Italians finished second on the list, meaning we are all, technically, sexier than Andrea Pirlo, while Frankie Boyle, Andy Murray and Gordan Strachan can take heart from the fact that the Scots finish third.
The French were fourth, the Aussies (seriously) were fifth and the English finished sixth. In quotes from the polling group, carried in the
Mirror, our position at the top of this very important list is overdue.
“It is good news for the Irish that they have come top. They have been in and around the top five for years now. But high-profile stars such as Colin Farrell have helped bring the accent more to the fore.”
Cheers Farreller, we all owe you one.
