Cork suck!!

LegacyUser

I just thought I'd say that for Laura in my class who was talking about cork ever since she got here.....then decided that she was from kerry when cork lost against kerry. She now seems to be talking about cork again.....

LegacyUser

laura,this is for you-GRRRROARRRR!!!!

arrrrrrgggggggggg

LegacyUser

I have recently come into contact with many Corkish people. So ha then! Corkish people are fun to make fun of. But some of them are fun in other ways.

LegacyUser

Cork are great............I feel I have said enough

LegacyUser

Forget all those annoying little culchie-filled counties, I'm gonna settle this argument for once and for all and say that DUBLIN ROCKS!

One of the great things about the internet is that when im online nobody has to know that im from monaghan.

Leave off the location debate please, its old, and not deserving of the attention of reasonably intelligent minded people.

(Right?)

'In cyberspace.......nobody can hear your monaghan accent...'

LegacyUser

Just like no one can hear my cool Northern accent! (or so I've been told)

Love,

I'm pointing and laughin, a monaghan accent? How unfortunate! Could be worse, you could sound or look like Breifne!

LegacyUser

Or even be Breifne, but thankfully im not.

A

LegacyUser

Or Breifne could do his man-eating trick (or "lunch" as he calls it) and you could be IN Breifne!

LegacyUser

Now THATS scary.

LegacyUser

Well, where did you think those little skateboarders went that were there one day the last week? Breifne hadnt eaten in the ten minutes before that, so needless to say, they were never seen again.

Poor b.a.s.t.a.r.d.s

LegacyUser

its just impossible to understand the cork pople especially the ones from west cork the accent is f**king headwrecking

LegacyUser

i'd have to disagree there- the most difficult accent has to be the northern accent by far........there was a phone call for me one day, and only my brother was in...

brother:hello?
caller:hello, is kieran in please?
brother:eh, no.....can i take a message?
caller:can you tell kieran that Gerald Deane rang, i'll give you my phone number........

brother writes down "Jer Ding" for the callers name...................

as for cork, it rules!
[despite the fact that i live in drogheda]

LegacyUser

Ummm... who are you klong? I think i saw a post of yours on the CS board as well.

Keep it locationless, people, or the thread gets locked.

LegacyUser

ok- sorry about that, won't happen again asuka.

I dunno. I don't mind the northern accent. I think most country accents become impossible to understand once the person has reached old age (even thick dublin accents).

Actually, I don't mind Cork people that much, but I can't let those da|\/|n culchies feel superior (I'm not really xenophobic)! OR equal!

What I really hate are scangers ("Schwaaaaa!",etc. My school is full of em)

LegacyUser

Hey,I have it on the very best authority (ie everyone keeps telling me) that Northern accents (ie mine) are the coolest ... and remember I'm not saying this from me (seeing as I still can't actually hear it),but from other people. So there. That's that settled.

LegacyUser

Both my roomies last year were from Cork, so by the time I left I had the Cork accent haunting my dreams. It was scary, I was starting to think in Corkonian. When I wasn't thinking in corkonian i kept hearing american accents. Spent too much time with adrienne.

Northern accents r cool unless they're really strong and u can't understand a thing.

its weird but I suddenly realised I haven't said groovy in so long. Must return to old grace saying. Argg!!!

LegacyUser

Dublin accents rock and thats final.

LegacyUser

Well, I have an English accent.....

...Oh yeah....

As a matter of general inquisition, has there been any other English person/s on the course, throughout CTYIs existance?? S1 or S2?? Just wondering??

LegacyUser

I fink there was a really tall english guy from leeds last year sess 2.
I didn't know him though so I can't be sure.

LegacyUser

I knew him, his name was Peter Budden. He moved back to England.

Try James Bell, as in the RA who was here session 1 and 2 in 98. Among others.

LegacyUser

He's not English Fio,unless I'm really mistaken somewhere...he was born in Hong Kong,has a Scottish passport,and an American accent - I know,it's very confusing

LegacyUser

hey klong-i'm from drogbog too!!!!
i'm aideen!who the hell are you?!

LegacyUser

Well James was born in Hong Kong to English and Scottish parents.
He got the american accent from all of the americans in South East Asia.
And he classes himself as a scotsman because that's where his family is from.
Even though he goes to college in Southampton in England

that's about it considering I've had many a fight with him over him being Hong Kongian or Scottish

LegacyUser

Yes, Peter Budden is vaguely English. Though he was living in Slane or Navan or some such place (Slane i think), while not being my room mate.

Dunshacklin - hehe. funny spelling I'm almost certain.

LegacyUser

Hong Kong rocks!!!

But if he has a Scottish passport then he's scottish.

And everyone in Asia sounds American unless they went to college in the UK. Its easier to switch into another language from.

LegacyUser

I was from England....then I moved at about the age of 5 to another place in England...about 10 miles from my original home!!

Then, at 9, I moved to Galway. I don't know why.....of all the places we could have moved....we had to rest on the bog of weshtern Ireland. Suppose it's tranquil, or some ****.

But....now there are plans to move up north !! To Inishowen (Narth Donigaaaal)

Yet..through all this moving...somehow I kept my 'original' English accent. Which I'm ok with, cos ppl @ CTYI were like 'kool accent'. So...as you can guess....I lived upto my ways and customs of good old Brittannia at the camp!!

(I put on an Irish accent...for school and that. But I'm sort of not doing that anymore, cos it's sort of pointless.)

So....there's a nice big chunk out of my heritage as regards my accent.

Hope you enjoyed it...there's plenty more where that came from !!!

See ya'll later,

...~M/W~...

LegacyUser

Where in England?

LegacyUser

I would try to defend that accent,but.....it's true...

Whereabouts in Inishowen? I live in Letterkenny (at the mouth of Lough Swilly,for anyone who doesn't know) ...it's the only real town in DOnegal!

LegacyUser

IT'S SPELT DUNSHAUGHLIN!!!!!!!!

I live there

r u guys talking about Peter Buddan the REALLY tall guy with glasses?

And I mean really tall!!

cos he was in my skool in sixth year last year I think.

Listen Jackeen, if it wasn't for some brave men and women from Cork a good number of years ago we'd all be speaking English by .... ah crap.

Seriously. Cork ppl rule. Remember yee lot the jacks are called that as you waved Union Jacks when the Queen visited many many years ago. No patriotism.

Yees are funny people though, I give you that, very funny.

LegacyUser

Actually. That's not why. We're called Jackos cause we supported Prince James ("Jack"). Y'know the guy who was going to be King of England. The catholic guy. The one who eventually lost. Yeah. So THERE!
And most of the important Freedom fighting was in Dublin so there!

Hold on... isn't this meant to be Cork bashing? I mean, why bother? Just listen to them speak and laugh. (I don't take Dublin digs very well) Then listen to all the other Irish accents and snigger or enjoy.

And Culchie knackers (not travellers now)! Their being real threatening but you can't help but keep smiling (or laughing) cause their accents are so ridiculous!

LegacyUser

Hi guys.

I lived in London. Well....actually I lived in Hemel Hempstead, which is like 25 miles northeast, and before that Tring, which is pretty near. But saying all that seems a bit too much, so I just say I'm from London. Which is reasonably true...considering that I'm posting from there right now!!

Anyway.........


GALWAY HURLERS AND FOOTBALLERS KICK SERIOUS BOOTY BABY!!! YEAH!!!

Ahem.....I'm quite proud of the 'ole home county team, as you can see. I have to have some level of 'respect'!!

Yes, Peter Budden the really tall guy with glasses who got ****ed off if you asked him if he played basketball Hehe...

LegacyUser

people keep mentioning being from drogheda... anyone from drogheda, talk to serena, cause i'm moving to drogheda in 20 days and i keep hearing about what a ghetto it is.

Peter's sister was at S1 last year as well, she was in my corridor and I think did LDW. Her name was Eleanor and she was really nice
