You know that reads a lot like a Newfoundlander accent, I wonder if they're related.

Trashleg, do you happen to speak Gaelic too, or is that not as widely spoken as I've been lead to believe, or what?

According to Wikipedia, Scottish Gaelic is spoken in Australia, the USA and Canada.

WTF? I can't imagine an American speaking Gaelic.

In the States? Oh yeah, big pockets of Scottish and Irish families littered about who still probably speak Gaelic in private. That isn't going to die out for a long time.

Strooth, reading that is like trying to understand someone from Wolverhampton when they speak. Impossible.

Is that why I can't understand a word that obieslut serious_frusting says?

Probably. They have the worst accent ever. It's like an indecipherable version of the Birmingham accent. I swear a girl from Wolverhampton once came up to me and said "Amyamyamuyams?" and I was like what? I knew what she meant (I did work in Wolverhampton for three years), but it was spoken in a manner which I had to really think about.

 

My girlfriend works as a doctor at a hospital in Wolverhampton and she says even though they are lovely and kind people, you really have to listen hard to them.

Awesome, reminds me of when I was reading some Irvine Welsh books.
