    We were talking to a german neighbour before about a new job she just started. We said "how d'ya find the job?" ...she proceeded to explain how she had sent in her CV in an email after which she was callled for an interview. Myself and mate looked at each other in confusion.

    Another seperate related occurence happened when my mate asked a foreign student in our class how he found ireland....he replied: "on the map". :D

    i'm from tipperary where:
    goul = fool
    messages = groceries
    rubber = johnny = condom
    just about got the train = i did get the train, but barely

    One thing that always confused me is the thing relating to days in the week...if i say next saturday, i would be talking about saturday 10th, and this saturday is saturday the 3rd, whereas for some people it works differently. The mind boggles... :rolleyes:
