# That Lilting Foreign Brogue of Yours
That Lilting Brogue

I was talking to a friend of a friend of mine in a bar a weekend or two ago and I had a struggle with his deaf guy accent.

Well, that was until I found out that, because of the noise in the pub masking his brogue from me, he wasn’t deaf at all – he just had the heaviest Scottish accent I’ve ever heard. Imagine how the lovechild of Billy Connolly & Rab C. fuckin’ Nesbitt would sound and you’ll be somewhere around where this guys voice was.

And to think, I can remember at least two occasions where I pub-shouted him in super slow-motion that “YOU. ARE . REALLY. GOOD. AT. LIP. READING. MIKEY.” all the while gesticulating wildly like I was playing charades in a burning house.

He must think I’m an utter spastic.

# I never noticed how similar the accents were
until that time in the pub. What is UP with that.

This changes *everything*. Well, changes something at least.

It's pretty sad to see him break down like that in the international media. I hope he's a bit more peaceful in the next life.

# There's a certain accent
Cornwall, I think - that is absolute gibberish to me. The again, I'm from Cork in the Isle of Paddy. My accent sounds like Roy Keane crossed with a Rastafarian.

I can't talk about accents. (You wouldn't make out what I was saying anyway).
