The Irish

'absolute units' of unclear nationality

darragh were you a scrapper in your youth

Youth? He's a scrapper now.

Oh i'll enjoy the rest of that later aonghus. Is it carlow?

reminds me of a book of irish negative thinking strategy i was gonna write called 'feel the fear and cop yerself on wouldya'

"feel the fear and don't tell anyone for god's sake"

Dayo u are biographically quizzically troublesome imo. I was only a scrapper insofar as defending.myself from a scrapper older brother, and the odd time the aul lady tbf. I never scrapped anyone else if they looked twice at me the brother'd oftentimes put them through a window and word gets around.

ay, so you were a scrapper

Nah but i'd plead a rueful guilty to having had a mouth on me

lol now i look at it, they didn't even bother with midlands- otm

I did the same list as plax.

plax I picked as western by the consonants and the short As in words.

Drogheda accent has to be best in the whole country, no contest.

I suspect bias!

bias?

Where ya from

And just how many of you are there?

might do this later

Offaly

Ah so, bias accusation rescinded! I've known some offaly ppl, not a strong accent iirc

i went to ireland once. my then-gf's host family was great. they got really drunk with us and then were like, making fun of their own kids.

then were like, making fun of their own kids.

yerwan playin mammy is inspired

just dipping in to say i LOVE that rally vid posted upthread, those dudes are the best & their accents RULE

i'm guessing cavan, could be monaghan tho

xpost most of the americans i have known in my life, including my parents, are not the type of people who even complain about their kids to strangers. the cult of childhood is very strong among upper middle class people in central jersey at least, and kids are like status symbols here... everyone thinks their kid is amazing. so this irish family was pretty different than that, even though they seemed like great parents who would do things with their kids etc.

lol catholics

darragh how would u pronounce 'viking'

adult on helium imo

sorry to hear u dont share i love music's the 1975 fixation

Darragh do schools have drama clubs in ireland

you've lost me xp

most villages now do drama clubs because we have lots of empty halls now and sure you have to give the hoors a legitimate day job to keep the country wives off the scent

what the fuck is that to do with me

Darragh she sounds like a precocious drama club president

i did not enjoy her performance, 8 yr old irish girls are much funnier and less mannered than that ime tho tbf i don't as a rule truck with the dubs if i can help it

this is what im saying

we're going deep dyao if it gets too much you just whistle a jig and tap yr feet and i'll be there like a green jiminy cricket ok

the 1975 are a band with i) famous showbiz parentage ii) high pitched vocals iii) notional 'trending' relevance

i have only one of those things, idk why you'd try to pin this on me.
