any Donegal / Derry / Tyrone boards folk ever hear the expression 'I seen me...' or 'on one's errand...' ?

You would hear both those expressions frequently where I live.

Never heard that, we just say 'on wans arran' around here.

I count anything North of Maghera = North Derry (as in County Derry)

Park, Feeney, foreglen etc, then you have drumsurn (sur)

I'm a south Derry man, but nowhere near Derry city (55 miles away)

I've a few exes from that neck of the woods though showing my age now, but we all use to converge around slaughtnaile on a Fri night, then it was clubland/Glenavy etc in Cookstown on a sat night.

Jesus..... That's almost twenty years ago now...... :eek:

Banjo I'd say you and me shared some of the same conquests as I too did a good few tours of duty in the clubland about 20 years ago.

*internet high five*

Quite possibly lad, quite possibly.

Good times back then.

"Remember he is a smart and talented guy studying for three A levels" - UTV News Video

ermm A levels are equivalent to the Leaving cert which is a standard level of education everyone is expected to do, oh and A levels are easier than the leaving cert. I'm not trying to insult the lad at all but what the news anchor said was very patronising. Like she was defending him because she thought many would judge him badly from the interview due to his accent.

That why each LC subject is worth 2/3 of an A Level?

I think it's because when they do A levels, they usually move to a "college" for the equivalent of 5th and 6th year (they always get muddled when we talk about going to college after the LC and this leads them to think the LC is the equivalent of O levels) and they specialise in a fewer subjects to a greater level of knowledge. Our LC is considered a broader education, their A levels are more up to our foundation year college standard in one or two subjects.

I was in NI on a bank holiday weekend and went for a coffee,... I said you are very busy and he said ay its a bank holiday in the free state we get a lot coming for the weekend, it was only then that it struck me that they have different bank holidays that here and that it really is a different country.

Opposite for me.
There regularly enough since the ceasefire, and no doubt feel I am abroad - now and again noticing place names on signs like Ballynahinch or Auchnacloy, think, "gee, sounds really Irish, fancy that them having Irish sounding names up here".

2015's Crystal Swing,best of luck to the Young lad,hope he makes a bit of moola from it. Also, "reigonal" accents are great,I would hate to Think of everyone in Ireland using a blended,esperantoesque accent,half the fun is trying to figure out where someone is from by their accent.

Aarrrghh, I had forgotten about Crystal Swing! Cheers *ahem*, ah sure they're a lovely family though. This guy has less of a niche market though, I reckon. People like this fella for who he is. They don't have to like the music to listen to him.
