another one I like, (and use quite often, I must admit) is 'do you think I came up the Lagan in a bubble?!! Obviously it's a bit of a belfasty one, but you'd know what I meant!

the one mum always said was "d'ye think i came up the Bann in a bubble"

Hi all, i'm not irish but my boyfriend is, and i think he's got the most sexiest accent ever!
He's from donegal, we are going over to ireland next year and i cant wait! My godmother also lives over there with her irish fella, they live in down patrick.
Its strange coz even though i'm not irish i've been reading this thread in my head with an accent!
The only ones i can think of at the mo are,
Futter - remote control
The Wein(sp?) - my DS
Horse - his brother, sister, whoever he's on the phone to ''yes horse'' or ''hello horse''
Oh and he calls me baby doll think the doll.
He sent me an e-mail with all the lingo, i'll try and dig it out. xx
