It's all Northern Irish
|
| |
Whilst chatting to a colleague as we worked at a West End cinema some American tourists overheard us and recognised his accent as being Irish.
Male American: 'Are you Irish?'
Steve: 'Yeah'
Male American: 'What part?'
Steve: 'Cork'
Female American: [sounding concerned] 'I hear Northern Ireland is really dangerous, what's it like?'
Steve: 'I don't know, I've never been.' |

It's good to talk
|
| |
Woman who couldn't help listening to the conversatiion between two ladies on early on bus:
Woman 1: 'I were... and then I were... so I were...etc.'
woman 2: 'Oh yes, I were saying... but I were...'
After some while in desperation the Earwigger interupts them: 'I WAS, I WAS... I WAS'
Unaware of her vexation, the pair turn to her smiling sweetly, 'What was y'luv?' |
