Sounds good Catherine, you'll be the one speaking Yola I take it!!! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yola_langua ge Think I might even push it to go to both nights, the Berlin gig was so good and they might not be around these parts for a while again...!! And no travelling for Spence this time as they,re playing his home town.. | ||

X, I'm not originally from Wexford, and considering I've spent the past 8 years trying to avoid picking up the accent, I definitely have avoided learning the strange local language!! I've heard it (mostly in song) and it's bizarre, to say the least.. I'd say I'll probably only go to one, due to work. | ||

I know what you mean Catherine, being from Galway and living in Dublin for the past 8 years I think I’ve managed to avoid picking up a Dub accent. I’m sure my one-year-old daughter will pick it up, though thankfully it won’t be the awful south Dublin accent. The place where I work has a branch in Wexford so I’m well used to the accent down there… | ||

That South Dub fake accent is the most awful I've heard. My sister's job is moving her to Dublin for a year, and I'm very worried for my 3-yr-old nephew. A lot of damage could be done to his lovely Tipperary accent in a south-side creche!!! The Wexford accent is awful though - to the extent that I made a vow very soon after moving here, that if I ever called anyone "hun", it would be time to move!!! | ||

Yeah Catherine, my family are all originally Dubs with real Dub accents but when we used to visit our cousins in the 70s and 80s my parents were utterly bewildered by the accents of their nieces and nephews...it's really prevalent in south Dublin... The Wexford accent is pretty awful, though there are other contenders...I'll stick ny meck out and suggest the Louth one as well...I'll qualify this by saying I have a Galway accent and say 'like' all the time heh heh... | ||

A friend accused me of sounding "a bit deefourish" on an RTE radio piece I did a couple of weeks ago! | ||

That's just my special FM radio voice though. A bit like my father's phone voice! | ||

Yoiks Padraig, are you admitting that you speak with a D4 accent even though you're from Munster? Is there no Strine in your accent yet? There's a joke in the west now of all the nouveau rich in Conamara, G4 as they call it now... At least it's not the 'Friends' speak of 'so' this and 'so' that and 'loving/liking' this and 'loving/liking' that.... | ||

Galway accent is nasally? This from someone who went to see Bob Dylan the other night? A man so nasal, he SEES through his nostrils? | ||
| Catherine Vaughan Member Username: Catherine Post Number: 126 Registered: 05-2005 |
I like Bob Dylan by the way! | ||

XY, very, very little Strine in my accent. What is there is more Australian phrases, for instance I'm forever saying "You dirty mongrel" these days, just like Alf in Home And Away. (Not really with that phrase btw!). No D4 in my accent either. I can't abide that fake accent. It's so convoluted and strained. Just awful. Worse than a Galway accent! I'm still unmistakably Irish (especially today with an Irish rugby jersey on!) but I've spent almost half my life not living in Munster so that's faded over time. But I sound like a right mucker when I'm talking to one of my brothers on the phone! G4 eh? LOL! | ||

Hey XY, I like Yola, but I prefer Yo La Tengo. | ||
| XY765 Member Username: Judge Post Number: 305 Registered: 01-2006 |
You must have googled Yola Padraig because that's what comes up first from the search...still not overawed by their last album though.. Off to Donegal for a week on Sunday to brush up on my Ulster-Scots... Haven't heard much of this nasal Galway accent thing you're on about it, maybe it's the blow-ins?? Galway is full of Mayo folk and lots of Euro crusties though thankfully a lot lot less than the early 90s... | ||

The only person with a nasally Galway accent I can think of is Tommy Tiernan, and he's originally from Navan.. | ||
| Pádraig Collins Member Username: Pádraig_collins Post Number: 1687 Registered: 05-2005 |
No googling XY. I came up with that gag all by myself! The last Yo La Tengo album is yet another I possess but have not yet played. |
