    After two years in Canada...

    - I say 'please' and 'thank you' at least once per sentence
    - I apologize profusely even if it's not my fault
    - I spell 'apologize' with a Z
    - I pronounce R as 'arrrrr' and H as 'aytch'
    - I swear differently...namely, 'fack!'
    - I eat sushi several times a week

    Is there any other way to pronounce them (other than the way they do in infant class)??:confused:

    Remember to say sorry whilst getting the barman's attention to order vastly over priced slop in a bar. Then thank him profusely as he takes your cash off you.

    T'is the Irish way.:)


    I remember years ago in a loud busy student bar this barman went mental and ranted at me for not saying thanks. "what did you forget to say" kind of stuff ?!?!?! And Im bascially stood there confused as its sooooooo loud I'm not throwing in superfluous words so that he can lipread my order if possible. Fecking idiot. I think I did say thanks because I wanted my drinks :)

    Never mind the beer and lemonade, what about that odd Spanish(in some areas) of coke and red wine. Kalimocho? IIRC. Tastes better than it sounds and I've been a bit hazy of eye on it more than once. :D

    tis lovely alright but you have to add a dash of Vermouth for the best taste

    In Ireland 'H' is 'haitch' - for most people.

    I buy beer in the offlicense at 3 in the morning.
    I get from one side of the city in abotu 30 mins, without having to buy two tickets.
    I don't eat breakfast rolls (I miss breakfast rolls).
    I don't watch television.
    I go swimming naked with attractive people :D
    I read the RTE News website...

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    Oh god, the memories (or lack thereof! :o )

    We used to drink this in college. We'd get a 2L bottle of Coke, empty half out, pour in a full bottle of red wine, chuck in a generous amount of sugar too (WHY?!), and then down it as fast as possible.

    I'm actually feeling nauseous even at the thought of it! :o

    I do lots of business with Germans and noted that they often end their emails with "Greetz" or "Greetz from...." So when placing orders or talking with them via email I'll often end the 1st email with this, as a well the last one once our business is done :)
