Cork suck!!

LegacyUser

I just thought I'd say that for Laura in my class who was talking about cork ever since she got here.....then decided that she was from kerry when cork lost against kerry. She now seems to be talking about cork again.....

LegacyUser

laura,this is for you-GRRRROARRRR!!!!

arrrrrrgggggggggg

I have recently come into contact with many Corkish people. So ha then! Corkish people are fun to make fun of. But some of them are fun in other ways.

LegacyUser

Cork are great............I feel I have said enough

LegacyUser

Forget all those annoying little culchie-filled counties, I'm gonna settle this argument for once and for all and say that DUBLIN ROCKS!

One of the great things about the internet is that when im online nobody has to know that im from monaghan.

Leave off the location debate please, its old, and not deserving of the attention of reasonably intelligent minded people.

(Right?)

'In cyberspace.......nobody can hear your monaghan accent...'

LegacyUser

Just like no one can hear my cool Northern accent! (or so I've been told)

I'm pointing and laughin, a monaghan accent? How unfortunate! Could be worse, you could sound or look like Breifne!

LegacyUser

Or even be Breifne, but thankfully im not.

LegacyUser

Or Breifne could do his man-eating trick (or "lunch" as he calls it) and you could be IN Breifne!

LegacyUser

Now THATS scary.

LegacyUser

Well, where did you think those little skateboarders went that were there one day the last week? Breifne hadnt eaten in the ten minutes before that, so needless to say, they were never seen again.

Poor b.a.s.t.a.r.d.s

LegacyUser

its just impossible to understand the cork pople especially the ones from west cork the accent is f**king headwrecking

LegacyUser

i'd have to disagree there- the most difficult accent has to be the northern accent by far........there was a phone call for me one day, and only my brother was in...

brother:hello?
caller:hello, is kieran in please?
brother:eh, no.....can i take a message?
caller:can you tell kieran that Gerald Deane rang, i'll give you my phone number........

brother writes down "Jer Ding" for the callers name...................

as for cork, it rules!

Keep it locationless, people, or the thread gets locked.

I dunno. I don't mind the northern accent. I think most country accents become impossible to understand once the person has reached old age (even thick dublin accents).

Actually, I don't mind Cork people that much, but I can't let those da|\/|n culchies feel superior (I'm not really xenophobic)! OR equal!

What I really hate are scangers ("Schwaaaaa!",etc. My school is full of em)

LegacyUser

Hey,I have it on the very best authority (ie everyone keeps telling me) that Northern accents (ie mine) are the coolest ... and remember I'm not saying this from me (seeing as I still can't actually hear it),but from other people. So there. That's that settled.

LegacyUser

Both my roomies last year were from Cork, so by the time I left I had the Cork accent haunting my dreams. It was scary, I was starting to think in Corkonian. When I wasn't thinking in corkonian i kept hearing american accents. Spent too much time with adrienne.

Northern accents r cool unless they're really strong and u can't understand a thing.

its weird but I suddenly realised I haven't said groovy in so long. Must return to old grace saying. Argg!!!

LegacyUser

Dublin accents rock and thats final.

LegacyUser

Well, I have an English accent.....

...Oh yeah....

As a matter of general inquisition, has there been any other English person/s on the course, throughout CTYIs existance?? S1 or S2?? Just wondering??

LegacyUser

I fink there was a really tall english guy from leeds last year sess 2.
I didn't know him though so I can't be sure.

LegacyUser

I knew him, his name was Peter Budden. He moved back to England.

Try James Bell, as in the RA who was here session 1 and 2 in 98. Among others.

LegacyUser

He's not English Fio,unless I'm really mistaken somewhere...he was born in Hong Kong,has a Scottish passport,and an American accent - I know,it's very confusing

LegacyUser

hey klong-i'm from drogbog too!!!!
i'm aideen!who the hell are you?!

LegacyUser

Well James was born in Hong Kong to English and Scottish parents.
He got the american accent from all of the americans in South East Asia.
And he classes himself as a scotsman because that's where his family is from.
Even though he goes to college in Southampton in England

that's about it considering I've had many a fight with him over him being Hong Kongian or Scottish

Yes, Peter Budden is vaguely English. Though he was living in Slane or Navan or some such place (Slane i think), while not being my room mate.
