    As a Dub, I've never quite understood where that "trun" word came from.

    As in, "The driver trun us off the bus for not paying our fare".

    Its nothing against her, fair play to her for what she has achieved. I meant in general I really dislike the Dublin accent, especially her one.

    Shouldn't you be knee deep in transfer votes by now Peter?

    It's a colloquilism, they exist in every part of the world.

    She comes across as very normal and down to earth to me. Nothing fake about her.

    This is probably her first time on a chat show too so she may be nervous.

    Most “city” accents seem to be shortcut lazy speech, to get things said with as few words as possible. In the days of tons of children being born into tiny inner city households those who shouted loudest hit heard, those that got whatever they had to say fastest also got heard. So you end up with rough sounding speech which echoes down the alleyways calling the chiselers hime etc. “I was thrown off the bus” = “He trun (abbrev. “has/d thrown”) me off d’bus”. An academic, which I am not, would phrase this more correctly.

    You could book Eddie yourself to go to your own local pub and have him tell all those stories and you'd be swinging in terror laughter and history. Fantastic person. Actual living legend on our Island

    At least he doesn't pretend to not have met them in the green room and canteen. Give credit where it's due.
