The lovely Eamonn Forde on Channel 4 news this lunchtime, talking about US download site Bluebeat offering Beatles tracks for 25 cents each:
And this is further good news for him:
There's some good news this morning for our readers from the Emerald Isle: their Irish brogue has topped a poll of 5,000 women worldwide to emerge as the world's sexiest accent.

I'm disappointed.
I expected more sweary. And a picture of a bus.
I enjoyed his
green shoes.
I'm not sure what it is now
bit that definitely isn't an Irish brogue. You've got to love him anyway ... local boy made good, and the swearing still intact .
I think it's an amalgamation...
... of about 4 different accents.
But well done our Eamonn.
agreed
I have spent my 34 years listening to Irish brogues of all stripes, and Eamonn's is unlike any other I have ever heard
