“I just let out a nervous laugh and agree!”

Sean Coyle

Available for 28 days

“I have a friend from Dungannon,” Sean says, “and whenever I see him, and say ‘Hello’, he says, ‘Och! Hello yourself!’ It tickled me. I asked him if I could borrow it. ‘Yes you can,’ he said , ‘for a while, but I want it back.’ But… I don’t like, ‘What’s the craic!’ I would never ever say that.” “An expression I find irritating,” says Cathy in Rathfriland, is when someone can't hear what you're saying, they say, 'What is it!’ “Well it’s very difficult to ask people to repeat themselves. What I find is embarrassing, is when you ask them to repeat something, and then they repeat it, and you still can’t hear what they say. You just let out a nervous laugh and agree.” With music from Neil Diamond, Paul Carrack, Tom Jones, and more.
