Somebody wants to hear a fuckin awesome british accent, you should have hearn my thick belfast before I moved to Canada.
Right craic.
Dead on mate! What about ye?
Naught, you’re right with the breakdown of accents, my dah has a funny one. He lived in letterkenny up until 12 before moving to belfast, my mah is from Dunmurry, which is pretty much where I lived until I was about 11. My dad was a builder so we kind of flaked around homes, and I spent near everyday at my grannys in dunmurry, not to mention thats where most of me mates and family are now. Go back quite too, try to make it annually. Whereabouts are you from?
Originally Belfast, now living in Bangor. Ever been to Bangor?
Used to go all the time, what the fook is the name of fuckin picadilly water thingamajig, you know beside the paddle boat stand? I remember that as a kid, in fact I was there just last summer when that stupid fair comes, it was fun though. And there was this eatery that sold like toasted sandwiches and had a very floral natural decor that used to make mean toasted ham and cheese sarnies. I’ve pretty much been all over , my parents liked vactioning within the coutry when we lived there, been all the way down to dingle, tralee is a cool place too that I loved to visit, very rugged. As for accents Ballybeen is quite a shite hole with a fuckin weird accent, wee kosovo it is. The 2 things I miss most being in canada, are pasties and pot noodles.[/quote]
That would be Pickie Pool or Pickie Fun Park as they are calling it these days. Its basically Bangors saving grace as without it and the coastline it would be shite. A standard cardio session for me is running from my house along the coast to Pickie and back or cycling the other direction towards Holywood (yeah we have a Holywood in N.Ireland folks, spelt with one ‘l’ though!) Apart from that, Bangor is full of wee spides!!
Small world mate!!

Well in terms of ancestry/ethnicity the term British dosent mean much these days as half the world lives in London.
If you mean the indigenous population of the British Isles, well we’ve got common ancestry but we do so enjoy slagging each other off!!
Typical banter includes:
Irish: Alcoholic, thick, eccentric
Welsh: Leek fixated sheep-shaggers
Scottish: Tight fisted, haggis muching kilt wearers.
English:Stiff upper lip posh or chav/scally footie hooligans
If I have offended anyone… good!!

I live in Gods Own County, also known as Yorkshire, and it constantley amazes me just how different the accents and slang terms can be just within this relativeley small area. Barnsley, Sheffield and Rotherham lie within a 20 mile radius of each other and you can pick out strong regional differences with ease!
And even in my home town of 250,000 people there are recogniseable differences between each borough or village!
I was once told that these pronounced differences are a result of groups of people being concentrated near certain resources or industries i.e. coal mining, textile factories, with relativeley little internal relocation within the country, hence specialised ways of speaking were concentrated amongst that population and thrived in that particular area.
By the way have any of you non-UK lads and lasses heard of a fantastic band called the Arctic Monkeys? Prizes for whoever knows what a “Mardy Bum” is?!
I’d seriousley recommend anyone interested in new music or British culture to give these guys a listen. The album is basically a guide through being young and working class in Britain today, and sounds bloody ace! [/quote]
The Arctin Monkeys have all the attitude of Oasis with none of the talent, and Oasis aren’t particularly talented. They should have their instruments confiscated.

Irish bunch of Gippos tarmaccing drives.
English - Hoodies, Chavs, Slappers, Skags.
Scottish - they think its cool to speak undecipherable English.
Welsh - Granted there are a lot of Nonheads in Wales, particularly round Cardiff and Swansea. Fuck 'em.

People really think we’re pikeys?
Thats funny, my whole family is builders so I can kind of relate I guess. To be honest there is nothing filthier than a Belfast construction yard, some of the shit you would hear would blow your ballocks off.

I found this particularly funny!!!
We’ve officially disowned the pikeys, they are no longer irish!!
X-Factor you should be glad youre out of the place at the minute, its the rioting season once again (aka the 12th)
Actually theres not been too much trouble yet but theres a lot of tricolours being burnt which is really raising tensions.

No of course Im not burning them!!! I was raised catholic although Im not really nationalist at all but nobody should burn anyones flag thats just pure bigotry. There was an Orange Hall burnt in north Antrim last night which is equally dumb. Pretty tense atmosphere today although I was just reading that no soldiers are being deployed for the first time since 1970. Its good progress but if it kicks off like last year the police will get their asses handed to them without military backup!!
Just curious, which ‘side’ you were on and what has been your experience with the whole thing???
