Only in Australia?
I think not Mister Hyslop… stupidity is global.
AUSSIE AUSSIE AUSSIE!!! OI OI OI!!!
Being Australian is about driving in a German car to an Irish pub for A Belgian beer, then travelling home, grabbing an Indian curry or a Turkish kebab on the way, to sit on Swedish furniture and watch American shows on a Japanese TV.
Oh and……
Parlez Vous Ulster Scots?
Today’s news is that Jacques Chirac made the decision to walk out of an EU summit after a French business leader abandoned his mother tongue. For some reason that gesture led me to thinking about Ulster Scots.
My Aunt often told a story that tickled her about my great granny’s response to “How are you?” being “Guy lee bae thunkit”. That was the way the Larne yins talked. I suppose it explains how I was half familiar with some Ulster Scots words before I lived in any of the areas that use the language. My grandmother never lost her Larne accent even though she lived her entire married lifetime in Co. Armagh.
You can now take the test on the Ulster Scots Agency website to see if you’re the real McCoy!
