what do you think of Cork people 1984

[@maplebanks]

There are two types of people in this world,those who are from Cork and those who wish they were.

[@nessonmackay6259]

Well yeah my mom lives in county cork and I am going to live there soon. I wish it will soon recover from the covid 19 crisis. God bless cork

[@steviegcork]

Great work again!

[@conoramphlett2228]

Same. Went to see family in the Clonakilty/Skibbereen area and they might as well have been speaking Spanish for all I understood.

[@Skylikeday]

Strange. I'm Swedish and I understood West Cork accents perfectly when I moved there. Maybe the melody of my mother tongue is more similar to it than the "national" Irish accent.

[@smorrow]

Well that's interesting because the first foreign woman (0:51) is definitely Swedish IMO and she also doesn't report any difficulty.

[@davidlittle7182]

@@smorrow I had to listen again. Agree, but I'd like to have heard her speak more to confirm. The long 'a' was Swedish, but I didn't get to hear any soft 's's

1:10 jesus that's a lovely head of hair

[@pottypranks8628]

It's yourself Neil is it lol

[@DSDMovies]

There are people in my own family from West Cork that I can't understand. The rural accent is a thing by itself. I remember once wondering if my grandmother and her friend were even speaking English to each other. Turns out they were.

[@michaelohalloran2800]

I was over on a visit 1996 this time. Went into a pub called the Cork Arms.Fantasic time . Remember in the back table there was a family there. looked like hippies dreadlocks and all .Semmed out of place these lot were.Didnt cause any trouble .But the m an next me says there just a bunch of crusties.The way he said it was effing funny.

[@muintir]

Wondering if she got them choppers fixed yet?

[@kommissar.murphy]

holy shit is that aphex twin at 1:40 ?

[@jamesbradshaw3389]

The people of Cork are the best people in the world to meet and have a chat with, but if you asked me the same question about people from any village, town or city in this world then I would give you the same answer, I have met with, dealt with and worked with people from all corners of the world and mostly people are the same all over the world, If you treat others properly, care nd kindness then you will gain billions of friends, Remember what has been written down and said, we are all children of God and made in his likeness. All we need in our world is an end to all wars, conflict, the poor, weak and ill to be taken care of then man/woman/child kind will all get along with each other just fine

[@morninglory112]

what did the old fella say at the start when everyone was laughing?

[@RebsArmy]

1:34 That's my Dad

[@mattvl6023]

he was young right? how old is now? hmmm I am not a native speaker of English , and it is too difficult to understand his accent...

[@RebsArmy]

He was in his mid 20's, and in the interview my dad was trying to put on a Cork accent. In reality he would have had a strong Dublin north side accent, he was just making fun of Cork people, since at the time they were taking jobs on Dubliners. And hes about 59 years old now.

[@bupkes00]

Glad to hear you can afford a dentist when other people can't, but could you perhaps explain the relevance of a woman's appearance to her opinion of your sing-song accent?

[@bulcyob]

I am a Cork man. and to be fair the west Cork accent is very alien to me! I can understand them but just barely! I imagine that's how anyone in Ireland sounds when they live in the little villages. its nice to see old footage on here :)

[@manus3203]

+cattlewrangler Calm down man. From someone who lived in both Cork city and county I can say there's benifets for both. Personally I prefer living in the city but that's just me

[@mvcork]

Touché biy, touché..;]

[@AbsoluteDarbage]

a nice race of people....didnt realise being from cork made you a different race..

[@Shammy381]

Up the rebel county

[@BaileyCork]

She said " why do you say they are horrible people" He said "cause they're next to Kerry and they beat us in the All Ireland"

[@Metal-Possum]

AH! Ardal O'Hanlon was right, they are constantly smiling!

[@elsewho]

Ah yes 1984, when dublin was at least a day away.the good ole days.

[@MrHighgate123]

All people in cork think about is how much they drink or how much they eat full stop.

[@djsmithy]

@ 2:09 "They lie a lot here in Dublin anyway.... because they take work on the Dublin people like yanno!!!" Jesus that poor woman must be spinning in her grave these days, with the amount of non-nationals immigrating!

[@corkairportspotting7164]

everything negative said there is 100% UN-TRUE!! Cork people are great boy!!

[@Nonteetotalist]

I still can't work out if 2:13 is a man or a woman.

[@Lungsy1988]

Wow, people have changed so much in the past 30 years lol

[@geroutathat]

What "outsiders" think, says it all.

[@foleybarbarian]

The first one never saw a dentist in her life

[@delacaravanio]

You've obviously never been...

[@djrojd]

typical dubs
