What is with Irish people and microphones

CoalBucket

Why do Irish people feel the need to turn into muck savaging idiots when near a mic ?

I was listening to the news earlier on and they had the postman from Kinsale who won 7m in the lotto. One of his supporters started shouting "Up Cork" and chanting "Rebels Rebels"

What the fcuk has him being from Cork have to do with winning the lotto. And before Cork people start getting insulted I'm from Cork too.

Then last week we had Lowry supporters in Tipp claiming to a reporter on Newstalk that they "love" him and "he is the king of Ireland"

Or my personal favourite of the last week was the people of moneygall and the song "theres no one as Irish as Obama"

Not content with making a mockery of us on a national basis they decide to prepare to do it on a global level.

Hide the cameras and microphones !!!!!!!!

A lot of people don't need a microphone for that. You should see some of the shit people post in here.

most irish bands also have a problem with the number 3. when sound checking mics.
They go 1, 1, 1 - 1,2 - 1,1,1,1,2,2,2.
i often sit there half pissed just praying to hear a 3

99% of Irish people have not evolved one bit since the Middle Ages sadly. An Irish person is always more than happy to fulfill the 'stereo-type'

yawn.. redo that survey.. sounds a bit biased..

You hit the nail on the head, in reality there is no such thing as an Irish person. It's all about the village, the town, the county, the province. No wonder the English had no trouble conquering us. It's still the same. There are no Irish people just locals obsessed with their little part of this Island. If you want proof travel the country and you will find precious little tricolours, it's all local flags, the county or the local football team representing their boring little boggy town.

That's why the likes of Lowry and other crooks and simpletons get elected to the Dail.

I'm Irish, not a Dubliner, not a Galwegian or anything else. I'm Irish!

Not sure if trolling ... but if you're not the one is to test normal vocals, and the two is to test how the PA responds to a harsher attack with more bass on the voice. The speakers follow two very different patterns when saying one and two and allows the engineer to setup the desk to suit the vocalists voice and volume. Three would have no purpose.

What wrecks my head is people giving speeches, and they hold the Mic down by their bellybutton. Someone'll come along, be it a wedding, muckball tournament or funeral and gently push the Mic back up to their face, and within a few seconds it'll be back down again and no one can hear a word you're mumbling.

I shudder to think what the country was like before the Vikings & the Anglo-Normans came :eek:

We're a nation of terrible gawkers too, amazing the way a TV camera has such an effect on people, "Look Mammy I'm on d'telly"

You couldn't make that up even if you tried...

We really are just a country of slack-jawed yokels.

"Durrrrrrr, i want ta be on de telly-box :pac:"

/stands awkwardly beside presenter, staring expressionless into the camera

Worse still is the footage of the Galway races or whatever sporting event when you see utter cretins lurking about in the background on their mobiles trying to get in-shot of the cameras.

"Mary, turn on de telly. Look! It's me! Jaysus, the lads down de pub'll never believe it!"

You'd think the camera had only been introduced to this country a week ago.
