Edwin I grant you, but William

I knew a guy called Crispin once.

The worst one was a boy called Kirk. He was quite chubby as well; poor kid.

Any name will sound chavy if you say it in a common Dublin accent.

Rarely and it might never happen to you but it can happen that you'll be speaking to British Lord, Earl, whatever

And they insist on using their titles
The arrogance just seeping down the phone lines

Never mind we don't recognize these titles in a Republic

I'm too chicken to ignore the title and wind them up, job is stressful enough without picking fights. If they want to be called a Lord so be it

There was a poster on boards once with a similar experience and the Lord threatened him with a treason charge :eek:

I was thinking about this myself recently. When I was young used to be very anti the whole "Sir" thing and was determined that if I ever met such an honoured individual I would go out of my way not to address them with it. But then I eventually realised the whole notion was rooted in some sort of historical inferiority complex that Irish people don't want to acknowlege or deal with, as tho acknowledging the title makes us subserviant to them or something.

By comparison you'll see Americans love calling someone "Sir Alec Guinness" or "Sir Whatever" and it doesn't bother them in the slightest. They seem to find the whole notion very quaint and 'neat'. That's the approach I take these days.

It's basically a problem with the individual themselves if they deliberately choose not to acknowledge a british title. It's more about disrespecting the country that awarded it rather than disrespecting the individual.

However (also regarding your post) if a guy (sir or not) felt he could talk down to me in the way you describe, he wouldn't get too far with me. But I'd bet that attitude was festering in that individual long before they were knighted.

It depends on what type of peer you mean.

I have no less respect for British people than I do Indonesians, Thais, Alaskans, Cubans or Chileans; but addressing someone by a hereditary title of seniority is wrong. It is ethically reprehensible for any modern country to recognize bloodlines.

Calling an hereditary peer Your Grace, My Lordship, Master, or any of the various forms of address is an archaic indulgence of feudalism that has no place in the 21st century.

On the other hand, referring to a life peer or a Knight by their title is far more acceptable, because it is an honour bestowed for one man alone in recognition of some extraordinary feat or service that he may have achieved for his country.

So give us a for instance? What does a common Dublin accent sound like? Contrariwise what does an un-common Dublin accent sound like? I have a Dublin accent but I'm not sure which version I have and it's really worrying me that you might think me common. I haven't rested properly or slept since I read your stupid, snobbish, unfunny post - before you reach for the nearest mod my remarks are addressed to the content of your post, not you personally, but if the cap fits it might be for the right head - righ' head?'

Your incredibly witty retort astounds me. I bow before your superior intellect oh great wordsmith.

You have tickled all my funny bones and indeed my ironic bones into linguistic nirvana. I can now die happily, safe in the knowledge that I have been bested by a truely worthy foe of unimaginable genius, Shakespear weeps in his grave.

If not for your roll eyes smiley I would of carried on thinking that my remark was sound and correct. Oh but your use of modern text emoticons has shown me the folly of my ways. I shall immediately correct my world view.

Thank you luvbulmers, for showing me the way.

You thank the post above for someone making a remark on common Dublin accents and then come out with the post below doing a play on words trying to do a southside so called posh accent? :pac:
