How cool

Fago!

How very awesome. I just had 900,000 people listening to my voice in New Hampshire in America. I listen to an American radio show and they were talking about Obama in Ireland. I sent the presenter a FB comment saying that I live in Dublin and that Dublin was all excited about him coming over and he's doing a speech around the corner from where I live etc...... So he sent a message back asking for my number so he could call me.... and he did and I was chatting to them for a few minutes about it. Great craic altogether. (none of the dumb yankee doodle dandees could understand my accent.... thicks!!!)

900,000 (1 million I think) people listening to me. How fabulous! Put me in a right good mood for the day

Now I need to calm down my nerves and vomit!!

Streaking




Actually, I was in brass band back then. Only joined it so I could go to New York for free.

Paddy's Day over there is crazy, cops were handing out Irish coffee to us and I did the parade half cut

Plus when we finished the parade and turned into a street there was a derelict building with these pieces of paper stuck all over it. I go over and read them and they all said that the building was reserved for a filming of Law & Order SVU for the following day.

Naturally, I took one of them

What radio station was it that contacted you?

Professey Chin

900,000 listening but how many could understand you? O_O

Well done Fago! Did you happen to mention boards.ie while you were on the radio show?
You could have gotten a fair bit of free publicity for the site...

Also, now that you are a big yank celebrity, will you have stalkers rooting through your rubbish bin looking for stuff that they can sell to the British tabloids?

Ye'know I was gonna mention that "a site called boards were all talking about it an the queen's visit, some complaining, some enjoying it" but they wouldn't know boards and they'd slag me for being on an internet forum. very quick these guys.

Ah here now enough of that nonsense.... of course they thought I was an ass. But I care not a jott. Sure if the people on the show couldn't understand me, chances are the people listening on their way to work couldn't understand me and thought i was some Irish paddy!

Pity the radio station wasn't in Fargo, Fago.

Just stuff about where he's doing his speech, that there's a free gig and who's playing at it and that lots of bus services are down and that 50000 people are gonna attend his thing at Trinity today. They're American so they were just interested to have someone Irish on the phone. After I got off the phone I turned back on the radio and heard one of them saying "I couldn't understand a word that guy was saying" haha

username_eh?

why is it that we can understand them perfectly whereas they cant understand a word from us? our accents cant be that bad era you still did us proud

Rubberlegs

That's brill:D Well done!!
