You know the ones. Someone who the second they open their mouthes, you’d rather hacksaw your own ears off than listen to another syllable they have to utter.

I’m not no about what they have to say. I’m on about the way they say it.

I’ll start with Courtney ****ing Barnett. Why 6 Music have seen fit to playlist everything she releases, despite the fact that it all sounds exactly the same, but even more annoying, than the one before. The flat droning, tuneless monotone, combined with the most annoying of all speech traits – the rising inflective so beloved of morons the world over.

Its absolutely impossible to listen to. If you’ve not heard it, subject yourself to this at your peril….

Your nominations please…..

Ohhh I’ll play..

My Mrs when speaking on the mobile with the speaker on…

BeJezus 🙄

One of my colleagues who produces a burst of white noise with every s she tries to speak.

I like Courtney Barnett. 😀

Imagining the OP reading that whinging moany rant in a Manc accent…which particularly suits a whingy moany rant…does it for me, and not in a good way.

Ermmmm!

I call, her off the Weakest Link Anne Robinson?

Like an Oasis song?

I really like Courtney Barnett, very good live as well.

Now this croaky voiced Doris makes me want to put acid in my ears…

Is she the ‘give me all your money I’ll make some origami honey’ one?

Couldn’t agree more.

Any more of that and I’ll stop the late night phone calls!

I agree with Binners (again)
Whining Courtney (and the Sleaford Mods) can do one .

Ex Australian PM Julia Gillard.

Truly nerve shattering! (although she appears to have taken some elocution lessons in this vid)

Robert Peston, more his speech rhythm. Cheryl Cole, she’s beautiful but that Geordie whinge is awful.

Brian Blessed.

Most of the male vocal of this just makes me want to punch someone. The plinky plonky arrangement doesn’t help.

I cant believe its not been said yet but Natalie Bennett. Irritating voice and cringe worthy content every time

Terry Christian

My former boss who sounded who sounded like a Kenneth Williams character

Is she Australian? Sounds it in that song. I think that upwards inflection thing at the end of every sentence is an Australian thing, isn’t it? Makes every sentence sound like a question.
I can cope with that, but it’s the droning monotone, I don’t like in that song.

For some weird reason, one of my nephews who is 7 & lives in Bristol randomly does that upward inflection thing & it is very annoying in his case, for some reason.

Liam Gallagher’s whiny drone is particularly annoying. His brother I can tolerate, but not him.

Ooooh, Nick Grimshaw’s voice & general demeanour/mannerisms. GAH!

Robert Peston, more his speech rhythm

this! Soooo flaming annoying, I have an irrational urge to punch him and shout “just hurry the **** up!”

Me!

on any recording i’ve ever heard of me. I sound OK to myself when I actually say stuff, but when I hear myself as others must do? Jebus, it’s awful 😯

Katie effing Hopkins

We’ve got one in our office…..

I spend 90% of my day with headphones on

*looks towards the North, expectantly*

Kate Bush. Warbly squarky awfulness

*awaits sight of mushroom cloud over Lancashire*

‘More people die on the road than they do in the ocean maybe we should mull over culling cars instead of sharks, or just lock them up in parks?’

Thought they’d be more love for someone who wrote this song on a cycling forum 🙂

How the hell he has a job where he needs his voice most is lost on me.

Clearly you are not the only one. 😀 http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/politics/georgeosborne/9966717/Mockney-George-Osborne-backs-the-Briddish-who-wanna-work.html

Although always imagined Portillo was a great example of this, it turns out he actually went to a grammar school (in Harrow, mind!)

What annoys me more is the rythm and pitch that many of our politicians adopt for speeches and television, which feels very scripted and fake. Seriously, i would rather listen to Russell Brand getting righteous than Cameron, the difference between his normal voice and that “lets get the job done” speech voice he has (most recently heard in the Calais refugees speech) is just ridiculous.

Helen Skelton.

Sure she’s a lovely lass, done all sorts of amazing stuff, but just when you think – “She’d be a laugh to go and have a pint with..,..” that voice 😯

Chris Moyles, when he was on Radio 1 in the morning I would sooner reach the radio off button than steer out the way of an oncoming arctic lorry.

Was watching a clip on Dismaland and there she was, ghastly

We really ought to end the thread right here, right now.

Such a good call that Sir, such a gooooood call.

Diane Abbott, the most patronising voice ( if such a thing exists) I’ve ever heard, every time she speaks she sounds like she’s talking to a 3 year old..

^^^^
Alan Carr +3
He could be the funniest guy on earth but I’ll never know.

Almost makes Paul O’Grady listenable. Almost.

Robert Peston speaks like that because he has a stutter, and his speech inflections are the method he uses to overcome it. it’s also why Rowen Atkinson over pronounces B and P
