2018 Rose of Tralee thread.

I'm surprised the usual people haven't started a thread already. (If they have delete/merge threads please mods)

Anyway the usual hilarity and cringeworthy carry on will probably happen. There are 32 entries and what do people think the number of nurses/teachers there will be this year ? I'll go with 14 in total.

I'm sure we will have waltzing Matilda played for the Australian roses and another stereotypical American song for the roses from America. I've no idea which roses got in or all that.

Dubai rose is good. Very natural. Bit of Gaelige no harm and being from abroad this year is essential.

Ah she's too 'perfect'.. i mo thuairmse..

I like that shade of red..

Just thinking of the hosts..

Did I miss anyone? Someone who filled in at short notice for a year.. Who's the best host?

Funny Plank Kenny never hosted.

Good singer ?

I used tire of the American roses, but having connected with distant cousins through DNA and genealogy, who left around the famine I've had a change of heart.

They went through so much to make good and their Irish heritage means everything to them.

Born in Boston, lived in cork and Dublin and now lives in Melbourne ? It's like an atlas.

Georgia on my mind is a good song.

Not the worst cork accent on this rose from melbourne.

Lively lass. Dark horse but blonde.

But what's with the Cork accent having lived in so many places?

It's not smile.. The Shmile I was always led to believe..

Yeah when you live in Boston and then Dublin for the first eight years of your life you'd think she'd have a different accent.

A buxom lady...nice dress.

The Melbourne rose was actually sound.

So is this rose from England or from Boston or where ?

Yes. Genuine and likeable. Pretty too.

Both parents from Cork though,so would have been listening to Cork accents at home all the time

The father must not have enjoyed winning his award.

A 'heavy' reel. Lol!

A bit too political heavy.

She's a very good dancer.

Maid Marion is a great moniker Little Village

Yes. Never heard that type of reel till now.

Bar the Cork/Melbourne girl no one to challenge Waterford, Carlow and the other top 2 or 3 from last night so far?

Rose of Tralee always signified the end of summer for me since childhood.

In fairness it's the bróga troma dance so calling it a "heavy reel is" an ok translation, I think.

Right. Makes sense. I always think of a reel in poms.. but yes the shoes.

I don't know if I should watch it, I always feel miserable afterwards after seeing all those men with the attractive ladies, I was chatting to Quasimodo in the queue when they were handing out good looks. There are many men out there who don't realise how lucky they are in life.
