Be prepared for loads of questions like " What part of Ireland do you come from" :D

Re: From Glasgow Anyone???
 

I was on a night out in Fremantle on Saturday, & I met a bloke who started firing endless questions at me all about Ireland this & The Irish that...
The IRA...
The History of the troubles....
Guinness...
The potato famine.... etc. etc....

I tried to answer as best I could, as I've read up a lot on Ireland over the
years, although I never actually got around to going there.

"So where are you originally from then?" he said.
"East Kilbride" I said.
"Where abouts in Ireland is that?" he said.
"About 7 miles south east of Glasgow" I said.:D

You're right Bordy. It happens all the time, although I can't see how people
could confuse a Scots & Irish accent!
They're totally different...:confused:

Re: From Glasgow Anyone???
 

I got that the other day..."Oh thats a lovely irish accent"...I sed " am no fae ireland am Scottish' they sed Oh from England then.....I growled "grrrrrrrrr(need the effect) NOOOO SCOTLAND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" "Is Scotland not in England!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" was their reply

:mad: "I'm not even gonna answer that sed I" and walked away. quiet;y seathing lol

No offence intended :D

Re: From Glasgow Anyone???
 

Whenever I get the "What part of Ireland are you from" now I just ask them what part of New Zealand do you come from.

Ive also had the Yeah but "Scotland is in England isn't it? " Biggy.

Gets right on my baps it does lol

Re: From Glasgow Anyone???
 

I am glad to see i am not alone when it comes to peeps thinking you are Irish when you infact Scottish. It sucks....! I get so sick of it. The other one for me is "wow your accent isn't very strong is it?" My reply being..."If I was to talk to you the way I would at home ( north east Scotland) you wouldn't have a bloody clue what I was on about...hence the lack of accent.." :rolleyes: I don't know.

Oh and have fun at The Loft you guys meeting up there...makes me sad to hear that as I lived just a street up from Ashton Lane ( Cranworth St) when i was at uni and working there etc....it was a local watering hole...! Have a drink there for me... :beer:
