    Lol, yep it should be interesting alright :eek:

    Buru :o the Irish are easy to understand :o

    by the experience I have based on a couple of Irish movies (yeh yeh, not too reliable experience :p ) I'd say that you lot are fairly understandable. :):D

    why do you have a 'posh voice'? :confused::p


    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!!!"

    :confused:
    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.

    hmm. that brings in mind this one guy from Turku I was talking to at a bar. :D 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. :D;):p

    you've told me what at least a few of those words mean haven't you? :) maybe I should take notes. :o

    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!!

    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. :o:D

    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. :D

    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. (But this is probably boring to ya'll and you'll think I'm strange so I'll shut up noo!) - I said 'noo' - I'm turning Scottish! :eek:

    or something like that. :D

    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 :o but she did a pretty decent Irish accent I think... crap film though.
    The Astoria??? Orgazmic!
    Verona??? it's all surmountable

    Wembley? We all believe!
    Copenhagen?? your light made us stars
    Chicago 07? And love

    aye. well, I was bored. :D 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. :D

    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.

    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??
