Actually no, I think the Irish are probably amongst the "most liked" nationalities worldwide. It's funny how these things go around. It used to be us Scots who had the reputation for getting rat-arsed and smashing up the joint. Nowadays it's the English.
Years ago I worked on a project looking at migration from the British Isles to the New World, particularly Australia. One of the many interesting things we came across was how the Scots got their bad reputation. Basically, it was down to the judicial system. When transportation was being used as a punishment, the Scots courts only used it for serious crimes. In England, you could get transported for relatively minor offences. In Ireland, you got transported for nothing at all. As a result, the Scots who got transported tended to be, er, for want of a better word, radges, while the Irish were mostly normal punters. |

This is a sample of my accent for Andúril. Thanks for waiting so patiently for it. I've posted it here in case anyone else was interested.
You can tell I stumble at some points and I accidentally pronounce 'with' as 'wif' or something. I can't read out loud. ![]() ![]() |

It's not working? Boo. I'll try to fix it, but in the meantime, I'll email it to you.
Woop Woop n Australia a remote town or area that is regarded as lacking the facilities and sophistication of the city (informal humorous ) (He does actually live in a city, I just like teasing him) We do actually have a lot of town names that may seem strange to you - there are plenty with Aboriginal origin. |
