Christ, I’d rather be from West London and that’s saying something.
When you retire, you switch bosses - from the one that hired you, to the one that married you.

You know for all my attempts I can't see either a north or south Irish accent being anything like a Sunderland one. (other than 95 % of the UK population not being able to keep up with the speed of our speech.)

Haha Davy, me neither. I guess Its not as random as we all think, It could be worse I guess, it could have said my accent was Filipino, then I would have been a bit skeptical. I have an Irish accent but its mixed with travelling over the years and also being originally from Yorkshire I have a watered down or up Cork accent. The problem I have is I catch accents wherever I go. One time I went to Greece for two weeks and came back with a Dublin accent, I was drinking so much with Dublin folks while there and when I returned to Cork my buddies kept telling me I was talking like a true Dubliner. I go to the countryside for a few days and I come back with a farmers accent. Bit embarrassing being honest. I should go on vacation to Jamaica maybe then I would come back speaking like Bob Marley. :D

If you came back singing like him you'd be on to a winner... :D

Reminds me of an acquaintance who went on pilgrimage to Medjugorje many years ago. She was convinced that all of her party received a gift while there. She apparently received the gift of song..... NOT. Poor thing, not a note in her head, but insisted on singing. Of course we didn't help matters. Apart from taking the p**s out of her, she was absolutely gorgeous, so we just encouraged her to stay in her good books. Petty I know, but it was our mid twenties party era...

You can't beat the Irish for encouraging someone to make an eejit out of themselves all because you were chasing something else.... :D

Reminds me of when I went to Lords, I didn't get cured but I saw a great innings from Geoff Boycott. :D
I once played against Don Revie.
