What's wrong with an Irish accent

how is a survey an acceptable entry to a young scientists exhibition, where is the science???

A few years ago a pupil from Limerick entered an entry into the Young Scientists' Exhibition - it was a survey in which he found that people with strong Limerick city accents felt discriminated against when applying for jobs. Maybe that's one reason why Irish people feel they have to adopt a sort of bland mid-atlantic accent, that sounds makes them sound like they're coming directly out of the cast of Friends or The O.C

That might explain why Dessie O'Malley has this preposterous accent that is so affectated as to be unreal.

That said, I wish Bertie would brush up on the dis, dat, deze and doze

yours isnt really an irish accent, its the bog irish accent!!hehe only buzzin, so thats prolly why cos you sound all mad and funny like, i never used to take a pint when i was offered it though, i mean i would never take the money from it.

funnily enough, most people over here have never heard the midlands accent (refuse to call it a bogger accent! ) which is why some people dont beleive that im irish. got my accent mistaken for a welsh and scottish accent a few times!
