I thought it would be interesting to have a thread with videos or clips of accents by county.
If you have a good example throw it up here.
First off is Anthony Daly with the Ennis area accent
http://www.rte.ie/sport/player/809/326263/
A bus stops and two Italian men get on. They sit down and engage in animated conversation. The lady sitting behind them hears one of the men say, 'Emma come first. Den I come. Two asses, they come together. I come again. Two asses, they come together again. I come again and pee twice. Then I come once-a-more.' 'You foul-mouthed swine,' says the lady indignantly. 'In this country we don't talk about our sex lives in public.' 'Hey, isa all right,' replies the man. 'Imma just tella my friend how to spella Mississippi.'

I'm sure there is a good Strabane accent on Youtube with the worlds fastest talker (Georgie Cunningham) delivering it in his prime.

Is the wind an attempt to disguise the voice?

Now that's just stupid - why would two Italians not speak Italian to each other instead of pigeon English?
