I was writing out a long treatise broadly refuting suggestion that southsiders pronounce Cork as Quirk…but just occurred that they perhaps mean people from the southside of Cork. Are they posh?

Only if you consider Ballypheane posh.

Surely they know it’s pronounced Cahrk…
I feel a strongly-worded letter is in order.

It’s so bloody true! Jaysus, I actually remember when this silly accent didn’t exist- and I’m in my 30s!
I genuinely thought you were late 40s. Mad that.
I was in Cork once.
Just the once.
For two days.
Felt like two months.
Once.
Never again.
…actually it was only two hours, according to my secretary…
I forget.
You would if you could..
PS.
Don’t click on my name…
…ah feck it, go on.
Click on it as many times as you like. It’s a joke. You won’t get it, but hey… bhoy…
I don’t understand it either…
Very good!
(Me and you are mates now. Conny.. Yeah?)

I’ll grow a ‘Midge Ure’ moustache if that helps.
I’ll photoshop it. Same thing.
This one is even better.
No messing.
