" Jaysus"?  - you are getting very Irish

Nope - just those 3

as soon as I dye my hair red my transformation will be complete. I should be glad I don´t live in Dublin or I´d have to end every sentence with "like"

We have an Irish gardener here and I have trouble understanding him sometimes - especially as he says "tree" when he means "three" - this can lead to a lot of confusion when you work in a garden!

Try calling an infoline especially the automated one where you have to say a number to be put through to a desired department

"Tree" is not the funniest number they have, the first time I heard "torty" (3 I almost burst out laughing.It´s all a matter of getting used to an accent. When I moved here I had a lot of trouble understanding the spoken language even though I had no trouble being understood. I thought it was because I wasn´t a native speaker but recently an Irish friend of mine said she could never understand a Scottish person.

And I absolutely admire the Irish (and probably the British as well) for trying to understand Polish people using broken English that I sometimes don´t get. One of the Polish news portal published an anegdote about a Polish au-pair who baffled the lady she worked for when, as the lady was leaving the house, the au-pair said "What about kiss" when she actually meant "keys". You just had to invent long and short vowels to confuse us, didn´t you?

dazed and confused, happy and angry, a bit sad too ...all wrapped in a day

 you would like so be exactly like me then lol, I´m a red headed Dub who like says like way too much , even my poor Turkish man has picked up this terrible habit haha............ so you´re living in bogger land (anywhere outside Dublin!!) then? haha

Spot on I´m a culchie living in Cavan Town (is there a worse location in Ireland? )

 Twud take some beating alrite haha, but I daresay I could name you a few places

Fairplay to you if you´re able to understand the accent up there! I remember going on holidays one year to Spain when I was about 12 and I made friends with some girls (they were sisters) from Cavan and I could barely understand a bloody word they said

Hmmm... I´m beginning to understand why there has been so much conflict on those little islands of yours!!! 

It took me about 2 years to get used to it, still I´m having trouble understanding my postman sometimes And the people here say the same about the Dublin accent - most of them complain it´s terrible
