Irish Tape change

shelbourneTID

Anyone else noticevhow they changed the 'leigh anois go curamach' lady?

Yeah, felt a bit unfamiliar!

Her tone was a lot more masculine, I think they've opted for a digital voice, so not to breech the rules of the Data protection act of 1988

What did they say (if you can remember)?

They must have wanted to shed the stereotype:pac:

Cant remember what was said but it was a male not a female.

Actually it was a male irish teacher that used to teach in our school, he's from the Aran Islands. It was such a shock hearing his voice on the tape because he use to be my year head!:D I think he's better than the woman to be honest but maybe I'm just biased!:D

Aw I missed her dreadfully! She was just so distinctive and familiar! Oh twel...

the original lady was an irish teacher before but sadly passed away 5 months ago, the voice was changed out of respect.

It sounded like my primary school principle (don't think it was actually him) 'twas kinda funny!

Did anybody else notice how recent the tape was...... DES bishops dad's death was on it and that was only in like march or April?!

I thought the quality of the tape was SH1T!!! I couldn't make out loads of the bloody words they were so mumbly..

And did anyone else laugh when the Ulster dialect were advertising the sports day and for one of the activities it was : "Marcaiocht capaillini"

Those two who do the comhrá always crack me up. They're always playing characters that are 18 or so, but they're clearly ancient.

I was actually thinking this too. The beginning of the Noirin/Ciaran convo. The start sounded fuzzy and quieter than the rest of it, I was very annoyed.

my examiner put the tape on a shelf thing and the wire was hanging down in the front the person sitting at the desk pulled the wire by accident and the tape player fell down it skipped a bit but kept playing
