The question of Ms. O'Reilly

22 August 2004 
YOUR SAINTED BIRTHDAY!

R. Linda:

You asked after Ms. O'Reilly. Here it is, she be from Kilkenny and she be a royal pain in me arse she be. Most here, group us as being from Ireland, but Ms. O'Reilly does not. She groups her from being from Ireland, and me from being from the English occupied part of Ireland and that makes ME, well British not Irish you see.

So every chance she gets she slathers on the southern Irish accent to sound more Irish than yours truly could ever hope to sound. Yes R. Linda, there are different accents in Ireland as there are in this place. To say she lords it over me is an understatement, until I realised that no one from here can tell the difference. So I just let her go on with herself and smile and laugh like it be all a joke. Which it is, on her.

The echo in me wave I sent on, be caused by the fact that there is a racket ball place that shares the hallway with the Internet cafe. The door or lack of one from one place to the other, makes the sound carry all the way to the mall. It was not the most conducive place to make a sound byte, but there was the mic and no one about, and you know the rest. I just wish I didn't unwittingly broadcast that wee bit of drivel to the entire building. I be sure people stopped and looked about, then at each other like who is that deranged fool and where is his voice coming from and WHY? Oh well.
