  1. I wish English language well known comedy writer P.G Wodehouse should have also written books about Ireland so we could have also enjoyed a bit of hilarity about that region also.

  2. My aunt once told me that people from Cavan eat their meals out of a drawer, so that if visitors come calling, they can slam it shut and not have to feed them.

  3. Does kilkenny have an accent at all? I've been spending hours trying to figure this out, in what way would we stand out?

  4. I looked at my great grandfathers Wexford Census from 1914 or whatever. The policeman writing down the names, had written Davit, and Margarethe along with recognisable names. It wasn't until I said the names out loud with an Irish accent that I got it. Lol

  5. Go raibh míle maith agat a chara.
    Muchas gracias amigo, in Spanish.
    I Love Eire, I've been there more than 10 times.
    I feel in home always.

  6. I'm from Co Down, but I went to school in Belfast. Got a mix of accents because of it. Culchie in the streets, townie in the sheets.

  7. Northern Irish accent makes me want to re-watch "The Fall" Great series.

  8. Wexford literally has one of the most unique accents in Ireland. We talk through our noses and have endless amounts of slang that only we know about.

  9. "The gay child of me passion"

    I can't be the only one who laughed at that 🤣

  10. my armagh family motto, "will marry you with a ring in one hand, and a dagger in the other" 🤔

  11. I'm from Kerry and his impression is pretty accurate, especially for the elderly. But the accent is dying, especially in the big towns.

  12. I was born in Wales and raised by my Irish grandparents immigrants from Wexford. I could understand them but if we had Irish visitors the different dialects of English became a total puzzle to me be jasus so they were

  13. ah god poor oul wexford never even gets mentioned in these. even though i'd argue wexford town has a relatively strong accent.

  14. I have headphones on and could hear him move positions around the mic

  15.

  17. John 3:16-21

    16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. 21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.

    Mark 1.15

    15 And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.
    Jesus Christ saves repent and follow him today seek his kingdom today is the day of salvation come to him today

  18. When he did the Cavan accent it reminded me of my boyfriend’s Cavan dad steaming an unmarked stamp off an envelope he received. He was so excited to have lucked out. Memories 😂

  19. I have cousins from Kilkenny. One married couple grew up at the same time a few neighborhoods apart and I swear they have different accents.

  20. Do Irish people speak Irish?
    English generals go home! Ireland is palestine in Europe.
    When will divided Ireland reunite?
    Please teach uss Irish before we forget it.
    The Secret Irish Republican Army was established by the high administration of the World Government rochelled family period to spread terrorism in Ireland and to discredit the Irish people's struggle for peaceful independence, When these goals was achieved, the world government dismantled this army and established the international terrorist organization Al Qaeda. The Organization has blamed the air attacks on the World Trade Center
    towers, the Pentagon on September 11th to cover up the rivalry for leadership between wealthy merchants and wealthy generals in the USA.
    We don't want a war of roses here.
