    One of the AA girls on 2fm (I think she's from Cavan) just says one long "AAAAAY" when she's saying it, it's bugged me for years :)

    It's funny that Ronan Gilligan is one of the few names I can remember - celebrity wise - off the top of my head. I'd like to meet the man.

    I find that particular pronunciation of the word somewhat arousing.

    Lorraine Keane has a lot to answer for, for influencing accents around the country. Listeners were subjected to her mispronunciations daily for 7 years between 1991 and 1998
