Odd, I find Irish accents generally easier to deal with than various English and Scottish accents (with the exception the mild, internationally familiar ones).

Odd, I find Irish accents generally easier to deal with than various English and Scottish accents (with the exception the mild, internationally familiar ones). This might simply mean I haven't met anyone with really interesting Irish accents. Also I leave the Welsh off the least, because I have always found their English easy to understand -- if sometimes amusing.
