St. Patty's Day countdown! (For Shadow)

I'd say that I've got a pretty thick Irish accent yeah

Where I come from the local accent is nice and soft though so I would be an easy guy to understand in comparison to guys from Kerry and Donegal. Have you ever heard John Duddy speak, well he has a nOrthern accent, (the complete opposite of mine) but his is relatively mild!

I havn't heard John Duddy speak no.. I've heard a couple of really strong Irish accents, and if they talk fast, you can very easily miss a whole sentence trying to figure out what the first word they said was...
I'm trying to think of the boxer that moved to Las Vegas and fought Morales and Larios... His name has totally escaped my mind right at this second, but he's from Dublin and sometimes he was a little hard to understand... (i'm going to be trying to remember his name all night now)

In the movie Snatch where they have the "Pikey's" with Brad Pitt, I always wondered if anyone over their has accents that are that strong... It's almost like a different language..

Ladidadida..

I had to post one more meaningless post as it's 11:37 and i'm about to go to bed, and I just saw that I was on 899 posts and it seemed a little untidy to leave it that way overnight...

You thinking of Wayne McCullough no doubt! Again a Northern Accent! he was from the war torn Belfast but relocated to Dublin and later Las Vegas where he now lives trains and writes for the Ring magazine!

Brad Pitt's accent in Snatch was a very good representation of what Irish Gypsy's sound like! Seriously I know a few guys that are worse!
