That is pretty much what my father sounds like. Except my dad has a thicker accent and curses more.

I didn't know cúnt was a swear word until I got to secondary school :eek:

Love it! :pac:

I don't know, I was thinking it's a southerly midlands accent, Offaly/Laois?

Sounds nothing like a Louth accent. The son is from Limerick according to his Facebook.

The father sounded like someone I knew from Carlingford. But then that lad had a stammer. And a big bushy beard. Father is not from Limerick anyway. Longford maybe?

I am from Longford as is the aul lad. It is definitely a midlands accent, but further south than Longford. Laois / Offaly I guess. More Laois than Offaly, unless you go near Ballinasloe end of Offaly.

SureYWouldntYa · 03-02-2014 8:26pm

Its Leitrim, well at least i know the lad is from Leitrim

OK, but I say not as far SW as Limerick, and they'd better not bring that talk over the Shannon to Ballinasloe, which is in Galway

. Maybe some corner of Tipp?

I know hence why I said near Balinasloe

Have family from there. Wouldn't wish the accent on anyone!

SureWouldntYa says the young fella is from Leitrim.

whupdedo · 03-02-2014 8:34pm

I thought he was from the alsace region of France myself

thestar · 03-02-2014 8:36pm

Both from leitrim, I'm on facebook a long time and its one of the funniest things I'v ever watched on it

franglan · 03-02-2014 8:36pm

North Leitrim/Cavan accent.

siblers · 03-02-2014 9:23pm

So, you're saying this is a repost?

OP is a bundle of sticks?

goat2 · 03-02-2014 10:49pm

i think it is priceless, we let our true feelings known to kin and even though he was a bit mad, he was not happy about paying for another driving test, as he said to get the same answer,

i got the test on the second go,
and when my older child was doing her test, she said she would not fail, and that i would be the only person in the house with a fail first time round,
i then asked them to bet on it, and we agreed 100e,
i went with her as far as test centre and went off down town to kill time while she was out doing her test, i did carry the 100e in my pocket hoping to be handing it over,
but lo and behold when test was over and i asked the result, she had failed, i just put out the open palm, and took it, but i took her for lunch on it, a bet was a bet after all,
she picked on me for a time before the test just because i failed first time round,
i did not say anything to her after hers, i knew how she felt, i had felt the same when i failed, i hated the thought of having to go through the same thing all over again than the price of the thing,
so i applied for it for her and in we went six months later, she did not ask to bet on it that time, at least i lost nothing on the first bet and it paid for her second test, she passed it and was happy

Yes. My Dad can only go 3 words without swearing. His record is 7 non swearing words in a row, but only cos we made him do it. There were a lot of breaks in that sentence!
