JESUS FUCK I love Irish women. Why don't I move to Ireland just the most beautiful accents ever!



Had to look that up but I just can't help it. I'm just mesmerized by it. I like other accents too but nothing to me is more awesome than a lovely thick Irish Accent.

I'd marry him too but he'd probably end up beating me.

Not to get political, but she (and I) are actually from Londonderry, not Derry, and it's in Northern Ireland, not the north of Ireland. If you mean Ireland in the geographical sense, as in the island of Ireland this is correct but this typically refers to the country, the Republic of Ireland.

It's a touchy subject and this topic has a little bit if history; where Graham Norton was brought up the city would have been referred to as Derry and places in Northern Ireland as being "in the north" without acknowledging the whole "terrorism" "one of the longest armed conflicts in recent history" "British occupation" can of worms.

If she says she's from Derry, she's from Derry. Also, I can't say that I've ever heard anyone use the phrase "North of Ireland" referring to the northern area of the Republic. The North/Northern Ireland/North of Ireland. I was typing out "she's from the North", as that would suffice locally, but this is the internet, so I just added the "of Ireland", thinking that nobody would be anal enough to correct me!

I upvoted the funny story, what's this talk of not understanding? They're joking, right?>> ^Quboid:

I understood every single word of what she said. What's the problem?
Also, this is the first time I've heard my home town mentioned on the Sift, yay!

I think they were laughing more at Zack Braff's (possibly faked, definitely exaggerated) reaction. Plus, it is a funny story.

I call Londonderry "Derry", it's like calling Los Angles "LA" and there's nothing wrong with their usage. I wouldn't call it Derry in a formal situation but I'm just being anal here. I love a good bit of anal.

Oh yeah a basic knowledge of geography is so boring! one country, two countries, two countries and a made up region, whatever. The north of Ireland is donegal although who says 'the north of ireland'??? Derry is in northern ireland.

Agree with the general sentiment about Irish women, they are all kinds of awesome. Theyll eat you up but youll love it.
