    I liked that too until I realised that the white lad getting a kicking wasn’t actually part of the family. Nevertheless he became friends with the ra.

    Well I suppose the English son was kicking him.

    Hmmm. Good point. Who's the white lad meant to be? Think you need to alter that a bit riffmongous to see the husband and father rejected by wife and child in an alien land and all he has left is the Ra to accept him. Great suffering right there in that ultimate rejection.

    Oh God no.


    I can safely say without fear of contradiction that an English person has never ever had their accent or home country mocked to their face while in Ireland.

    He already dropped the turd. The turd is 6 years old now.

    surely the simplest solution is to just pronounce your words correctly you massive bogger

    We all know that Dubs are experts on the English language.

    I've never noticed anyone of any nationality pronounce tree and three differently. I've seen Americans say they love the way Irish people say 33 and I have no idea what that's supposed to mean either.

    Americans call it turdy three.

    There's a certain irony in English people complaining when others drop the letter H.
    Did you say S as in Sssibilant or F For Fricative ?

    Poetic! Reminds me of that Austin Clarke poem in Soundings when I did the Leaving and everybody was wondering what the heifer symbolised. One of the great mysteries of secondary school.

    Those were the cliches of mid 20 C Irish poetry.

    Heifers, boreens , planters daughters, butter churns, wheel barrows, mud paths and for the urbane, canals.

    Ah now, now Franz. Get in the corner and put that cap on you; the heifer symbolised the lost opportunity for creating a new Ireland that was the Civil War (if I recall the notes in Soundings correctly where somebody wrote to Clarke and asked him what in the name of bejaysas that heifer symbolised) - which is why none of us could get it!

    I was just about to mention the number of English ppl who can't say Ireland but say island - just as I had that though whilst watching TV a Sky News presenter who introduced the report about the current royal visit to Ireland said island several times. When I lived in the UK I had a friend who admitted to me he just couldn't say it at all.
