I know I'm not Irish in the slightest, but I wana join, purely because of my Irish obsession...The NI accent has to be the best in the world
You can understand it? Wanna come be my classroom assistant during my Wednesday lectures? Guy talks far too quickly for me.....

As I said, it was a load of Englishmen that told me that! I didn't know anything else about Irish sayings or anything so I believed them.

Although after Googling it, I've found that the answer to "Top of the morning to you..." is supposedly "...and the rest of the day to yourself."



You have the best of the morning....

And you have the rest of the day

Makes perfect sense to me even though NO-ONE ever actually uses it lol
