because if i didnt have one, then no-one outside of Scotland would understand what i was saying... i speak about 800 miles an hour as well, which makes it worse...
but i use the following slang words all the time
ken
mibbe
dinnae
glaikit
fitba
hoose
deed
huvny
aboot
eedjit
i.e. "i huvny got a clue aboot that glaikit eedjit but mibbe he is at the fitba or in his hoose, mibbe he's even deed... och ah dinnae ken!!!"
oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.

Lol, well we're usually NOT in the Irish movies so you'll be doing well. As long as it wasn't 'far and away' or something like that... cos we speak NOTHING like that
The Astoria??? Orgazmic!
Verona??? it's all surmountable
Dublin 23.08.06 "The beauty of Ireland, right there!"
Wembley? We all believe!
Copenhagen?? your light made us stars
Chicago 07? And love
What a different life
Had I not found this love with you

hmm. that brings in mind this one guy from Turku I was talking to at a bar. I'm telling you their dialect is like a whole another language. he also spoke really really fast. :eek: but he was sssooooo cute I didn't care.
you've told me what at least a few of those words mean haven't you? maybe I should take notes.

If I'm not mistaken the War museum's just by London Bridge Station, so after you've made yourself cry you can go and scare yourself aswell by walking round the corner and popping into the 'London Dungeons'.:eek: By the time you get to the pub you'll be an emotional wreck and will look exactly like this smilie: :eek:
i went to the Dungeons in Edinburgh (same company who run both) and i was quite dissappointed... the idea was great but we were in with about 14 7yr old kids on a birthday party... and they were noisy as fuck... there wasnt a single ancient thing, it was all just actors telling stories of murder and plagues, etc!! frickin expensive as well!!

i dae ken where he stays. mibbie hes fou and cannae git hame or mibbie hes wae the bairns fetching the messages .. och well i'll see him the morn :rolleyes:
That kind of thing
So are we strangers now? Like rock and roll and the radio?
by the experience I have based on a couple of Irish movies (yeh yeh, not too reliable experience ) I'd say that you lot are fairly understandable.
did everyone on here understand Trainspotting ok? well if you did then take Spud's or Begbies accent and imagine that at twice the speed and with more slang words and we're nearly there!!
NAH... you have no hope!! Trainspotting was released with subtitles in the States :eek:

I don't know the names of the movies.
the other was about this small village.. and the men of the village put an add of some sort to some Florida's/California's newspaper in hopes of getting hot women to move to Ireland. :rolleyes:
I don't remember what happens in the end cause I fell asleep.
and the other is about this girl who moves to England with her boyfriend, then they break up. she's pregnant to the guy but she meets some English ladd and somehow he thinks that the baby is his. when he finds out the girl moves back to Ireland to her parents, she bumps into her ex and they fall in love again. then the English guy comes to look for the girl, finds her with the Irish guy and rushes to the airport (after a fist fight) and she decides that she wants him and not the ex.
or something like that.

I went as a kid and found it really funny. What was weird is how I remembered the smell of the place for years after. Even now I can bring it to mind. It's got a really distinctive smell about it.

Well I dunno the first one but I think it might be 'the matchmaker' or something. The second one is actually Anna Friel in the lead I think - who's English but she did a pretty decent Irish accent I think... crap film though.

aye. well, I was bored. I actually enjoyed the second film. but I think that's cause the 'English guy' was really handsome.
I'm not an expert on accents but it all sounded good.

Isn't there one with a really catchy title - 'The field'? It sounds riveting. I think John Hurts in it. It sounds about as interesting as watching a program about the chemical make-up of a newt on bbc learning zone at 4am on a Wednesday.

The Field is a lot more interesting than it sounds....not to me,I can hardly remember it but it's something of an Irish classic.
It may be the devil or it may be the Lord
But you're gonna have to serve somebody.

Hello Carlos. Don't normally meet you over here on this thread. You're normally over on the moving train locking horns with someone. You going to the Point then??

Keep your eyes open, eventually something will happen....
Good evening anyone who is here tonight or at the week-end!
Lots of posts to go through since yesterday afternoon. A quick scan revealed talks of dungeons, museums, posh scotsmen (at least posh accents), poor finnish girl wondering if she was going to understand anything in scotland, drinks, etc.....
Too much to properly read through but I suppose it's all the usual rubbish :D
Keith - hope you had a nice birthday drink!
Busy week-end ahead (all very family and proper!) with 'The Taming of the Shrew' tomorrow at Regent's Park Open Air Theatre and a BBQ at friends on Sunday. Meeting up with a friend on a visit from Australia (moved there a few years ago) - that should be nice!
Dunky - did I understand correctly? You're spending the week-end in London? If so, have a great time!
Hey Carlos D!!! To be a regular, just come on this thread and speak rubbish. Can be serious too !:D
Talk to you guys on Monday!
So does one have to apply to be a regular or something?
its more to do with number of posts... i.e. you dont apply to be a regular in a pub... you just frequent the place often enough to become a regular!!!
so get posting!!!!!!!!!!
