Mother: "Darling, will you answer the phone!"

Father: "Ahhhh, ok. Hello?"

Mother: "You're back quick. Who was it?"

Father: "Well, there was that initial time delay, and as I expected, I could hear some Asian voices, so I hung up immediately."

Mother: "Bloody call centres! Back to sleep so. Goodnight dear."

How did this crowd even make it to the correct departure gate at Dublin Airport?

Simple. They flew out of Cork.

No, C4 people holiday inn West Cork. West Cork natives do not speak like C4 people. When I was in first year in college I shared a house with 4 guys from Skibbereen/Schull/Ballydehob etc. When I came home at the weekends my mother was "mortified" at how my accent had morphed into indecipherable gobbledegook.

And has remained so ever since!:D

Lol. Funny - and true - story from that time.

I would have had a very neutral accent and after many years of elocution and a snobby mother I certainly knew how to mind my Ps and Qs and would go out of my way to pronounce every word correctly, avoiding slang, etc. etc. (basically I was a twat). After about 2 weeks of living with the West Cork Mafia, one of the lads asked one of others one day "did Butterssuki go to school in Australia?'. He was 100% serious.

Another call that Joe would have loved. Imagine the details he'd have got from it.

I went out with a doctor for a while. Anytime we were out she went miles out of her way to avoid situations where she might have to help.

hope he goes himself for a check up..would be wise thing to do I think..

So what's the point of this story -- if you're going to have a heart attack, the Munster Final is the place to have it?

Just killing the hours while Joe is away... Not that liveline is ever brave enough to discuss the topical issues any more..

You know, I'd love a discussion on that fight between the Dublin and Armagh players..
