Star all right mad thing just got rescued off Coast of Ireland 🇮🇪 by rescue surrounded by a load Dolphins 🐬 our at sea he taught they were sharks hahaha 😂 true story he is thick as shite 😂
Good one! Very funny. He was an excitable young man and always flashing his big toothy smile. He may speak with an accent different from you (I’m assuming you’re English, although even if you are you’ll now say you’re not). I’m Scottish and despite my cultural differences I understood every word he said..
I can only repeat what others have commented: What a polite and likeable young man. His parents should have been proud of him, and how well he speaks and gets on with others. The world needs plenty more like this chap.
On being rescued after 10 hours in the sea off Kerry - "sure I just needed to go to hospital to warm up a wee bit". Mad as a hatter, and damn lucky to be alive!
As a Dubliner I love this bloody island and it's diversity of practices, beliefs, habits and of course accents. I'm glad to see strong country accents like this are surviving. I love hearing them! Brings me back to a time I only imagine from seeing old photos and hearing old stories.
@@looksirdroids9134 Word for word. I have to say, even with an ear for accents I am still caught out the odd time from a farmer in the tiny lanes of Cork or Kerry. They give me directions and we hash it out but all of the filler words are unrecognisable. I'd have to spend a little more time in their company to get it lol.
I just love his sing song way of talking--how his inflection goes from high to low and back again. Couldn't hardly understand a word he said but could listen to the lad talk all day.
What a pleasant young man. He spoke a wee bit too quickly but I understood every word. He seems to take everything in his stride, and do so with a smile in his face. God bless him the excitable fellow that he is.
He's back in the news again today, he swam 4km out from the Kerry coast and had to be airlifted out. When they found him he was surrounded by a pod of dolphins, no shit. A Big wild man beard on him and all!!! He is Irelands very own Forrest Gump.
But it looks like it's a regional TV interview, so I guess the local audience will understand him. I used to live in the Netherlands, and sometimes there would be a story on the evening news from a southern province like Brabant, and they would use subtitles in the interviews so that the rest of the country could understand them. They speak Dutch, but it's a dialect.l
@divinaluz69 Quite correct. It was for a local Northern Irish news station many years ago, so he assumed his audience would most definitely understand him. And we did.
As an Irish man I could translate for y’all, but the gist of it goes: It’s cold and you could get frostbite on the ankles, but I’m not worried… it’s probably a day to stay in the house, nonetheless. Thanks guys, have a good day!
How "Irish Americans" think they speak when their Great Great Great Great Great Great Great Great Great Great Great Great Great Great Great Great Great Great Great Great Grandfather was from Ireland
I went to the same school as this lad. My English teacher told us that he was one of her students, and during the speaking and listening exams he would speak incredibly clearly which is just hilarious to think about.
you could listen to him for hours, and only understand about 5 minutes worth of what he said [internet law requires that I mention that the previous statement was a lighthearted joke]
They’d all have spoken the way he did. That was an accent specifically found in that area. All the young lads and lasses would have spoken like that, maybe not so fast. Take it like this it was very cold outside, he was walking to school and all of a sudden finds himself in front of a reporter and a camera crew. There he is freezing his bollocks off and trying to answer the reporter. When he says “you wouldn’t be long getting frostbit”, what he’s really saying to the reporter is “I’m bloody cold would you ever just let me be on me way to school”. But he’s a polite young man and shows them how his ankles are exposed and tells them once again how cold he is before waving at them and walking off closing the interview himself because he wanted to get to school where he’d be warm. That’s what I perceive when watching this interview. To be fair I’m sure quite a few kids told the reporter to “feck off”.
