‘Tis their intention ta dry off and then buy an iPhone. Join ‘em?
Pull a pint and twiddle your muff because Ireland’s O2 will be selling the iPhone (translation: “tha’ bleedin’ iPhone, ye ponce”) at $600 for the 8GB and $750 for the 16GB. For about $50 a month you get up to 1GB of data and the standard SMS and talk times. Don’t be a wee sleekit, cow’rin, tim’rous beastie! Get thee to the Carphone Warhouse!

O2 Confirms Winning Irish iPhone Exclusivity [Cellular-News]
O2
Thanks for sending this in, Chris.
1. it’s spelled ‘wee’, and it’s Scottish
2. ‘bairn’ is also Scottish
3. Robert Burns was also Scottish, so presumably ’sleekit’ ‘beastie’ and those spellings of ‘cow’rin’ and ‘tim’rous’ are Scottish too.
4. I’ve never heard an Irishman say ‘ye’.
5. You do know Ireland and Scotland are different places, right?
6. Since when did Ireland use dollars?
Today is fake bad Irish/British accent day at crunchgear. I love the emerald isle and her floating brethren and, as I recall, you all had senses of humor.
Feel free to rewrite this post using proper irish slang and I’ll repost it.
Senses of humour, it would seem, vary in quality.
damn, and here in my head the accent sounds fine. you guys must not be reading it right….”Ya blouse wearin’ poodle walka” [5 points]
This, i fear, is true.
Muff means the same thing over there right!!!!!!!!!!!
Anyhoo, we do say “Ye”, like “all of ye”, mean all of you, which we also say :P
Anyone who’s confused by muff should be able to figure is out by putting “ladies” before it… :D
But yeah, I laughed!!! Sure your degrading depiction of my homeland annoyed me, but, meh what’ll you do, it’s hardly of any importance to me anyway… just made me take 30 seconds out of my day to reply…
I’m SURE you guys make fun of American accents all the time over there – don’t pretend you don’t. I, for example, consider Once one of the finest movies ever made and was very glad when they won the Oscar. If you need me to drink some green beer and kiss a leprechaun to prove my light-hearted love re: all things Emerald, I’d be more than willing to.
tisk, tisk. you’re weaknesses are starting to show, johnny boy. excuse me, mr. o’biggs…
HAH! ya kiss-arse!
There is a village outside Derry where I grew up, it’s spelt ‘Magh’, and pronounced…… ‘Muff’.
I kid yee not lol
